System Controller Module Events

System Controller Module Events

This chapter explains how to diagnose and handle system controller (SC) module events generated by the Cisco 6100 Series system. The following information is presented for each of the events:

If none of the actions presented for the event are successful, contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for additional support.


Note Refer to "Cisco 6100 Series System Event Troubleshooting" for detailed information on viewing events in the ViewRunner management software. Refer to "Event Guidelines and Definitions" for detailed information on event severity guidelines and alarm event status changes.

Table 6-1 lists SC module events and their IDs, definition, severity, and description. A detailed explanation of these events and corrective actions required (if any) is located in subsections in this chapter.


Table 6-1: System Controller Module Events
ID Definition Severity Description

2

SC_IP_MISMATCH

Minor

The IP number assigned to the Cisco 6100 Series system is unusable

3

SC_SUBNET_ERROR

Minor

The subnet mask is incorrect

4

SC_DOWNLOAD_DONE

Info

Download to the SC module is complete

127

Critical

Loss of communication with SC module


Note Events with an id less than 128 are specific to the module in alarm. Events with an id value greater than or equal to 128 are system-wide events.

6.1 IP Number Assigned for the Cisco 6100 Series System is Unusable

Event Summary

ID Event Name Severity

2

SC_IP_MISMATCH

Minor

Description

The following description appears in the ViewRunner for Windows Event History View dialog box or the ViewRunner for HP OpenView Error Events Browser:

The IP number assigned to the Cisco 6100 Series is unusable

Impact

Events of this type are not run-time events. They occur only during node installation or configuration and affect only the node's ability to communicate properly over Ethernet.

Action

Step 1 In the ViewRunner for Windows Installation and Administration Guide or the ViewRunner for HP OpenView Installation and Administration Guide, refer to the system initialization chapter for instructions on reestablishing proper IP address information.

Step 2 Verify that the ViewRunner can access the node correctly.

6.2 Subnet Mask is Incorrect

Event Summary

ID Event Name Severity

3

SC_SUBNET_ERROR

Minor

Description

The following description appears in the ViewRunner for Windows Event History View dialog box or the ViewRunner for HP OpenView Error Events Browser:

The subnet mask is incorrect

Impact

Events of this type are not run-time events. They occur only during node installation or configuration and affect only the node's ability to communicate properly over Ethernet.

Action

Step 1 In the ViewRunner for Windows Installation and Administration Guide or the ViewRunner for HP OpenView Installation and Administration Guide, refer to the system initialization chapter for instructions on reestablishing proper IP address information.

Step 2 Verify that the ViewRunner can access the node correctly.

6.3 Download to SC Module Complete

Event Summary

ID Event Name Severity

4

SC_DOWNLOAD_DONE

Info

Description

The following description appears in the ViewRunner for Windows Event History View dialog box or the ViewRunner for HP OpenView Error Events Browser:

Download to the SC module is complete

Impact

Events of this type are not run-time events. They occur only during node installation or configuration and affect only the node's ability to communicate properly over Ethernet.

Action

This is an information event, not an alarm event. Information events do not represent a state change and therefore are not followed by a Cleared event.

Information events are typically one-time occurrences that are corrected by the module without a reset. They do not cause service degradation.

No craft action is required.

6.4 Loss of Communication with SC Module

Event Summary

ID Event Name Severity

127

Critical

Description

The following description appears in the ViewRunner for Windows Event History View dialog box or the ViewRunner for HP OpenView Error Events Browser:

Loss of communication with SC module

Impact

An alarm event of this type is likely the result in loss of a single cell. Loss of a single cell is a transient event, affecting only one subscriber. Recovery is possible at higher layers in the protocol stack. Multiple occurrences of the alarm event are more serious and typically indicate the failure of a hardware component on the ATM switch module (ASM).

The term multiple occurrences is applied if several occurrences take place within a few seconds. If a problem with cell loss, and ultimately subscriber traffic throughout is suspected, service personnel should review the ViewRunner for Windows Event History View dialog box or the ViewRunner for HP OpenView Error Events Browser for multiple occurrences. In a future software release, multiple occurrences of events in this category will generate a higher severity alarm.

Action

Alarm events of this type are typically caused by short-term (milliseconds in duration) incidents that clear as part of the normal course of traffic management. Examples of traffic management events include the freeing of buffer space, recovery from parity errors at a higher level, and recover after a brief loss of signal.

Each of these alarm events is followed by an additional event showing a Cleared event status, meaning the alarm event has been corrected.

Step 1 If a Cleared event status is not received within 1 minute, reinsert the module.

Step 2 If a problem persists, replace the module.
