MBUS_SYS Messages

The following are maintenance bus (MBus) system error messages.

Error Message   

%MBUS_SYS-3-ENQUEUE: Failed to queue message from slot [dec] stream [dec]

Explanation   An attempt to queue a message from the interrupt for process-level software has failed. The message will be dropped. The dropped message indicates a potential problem in the maintenance bus (MBus) process-level message handling. This error can occur if there are problems specifically with the MBus process or general Cisco IOS process-related issues. This error may also happen if the MBus process is not scheduled for extended periods of time and there is heavy MBus traffic.

Recommended Action   If this is a persistent problem, either the MBus process is dead or there are other Cisco IOS-related problems. Consider rebooting the gigabit route processor (GRP) if possible.

Error Message   

%MBUS_SYS-3-MAXSIZE: Message from slot [dec] stream [dec] of length [dec] > max message size [dec]

Explanation   A message from a slot has exceeded the maximum message size of 254 bytes and therefore will be dropped. This error should not happen during normal operations.

Recommended Action   To verify the functionality of maintenance bus (MBus) use the show mbus counters and the show mbus can-error commands. If any particular card shows errors and this condition persists, try reloading the card if possible. The error counts in the show mbus commands can be cleared using the clear mbus-statistics command.

Error Message   

%MBUS_SYS-3-MSGINVCHN: MBUS invalid channel selected (dev=[int],type=[int],channel=[dec],len=[int])

Explanation   The software tried to send a message on a invalid maintenance bus (MBus) channel.

Recommended Action   Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message   

%MBUS_SYS-3-MSGTOOBIG: MBUS message length too big (dev=[int],type=[int],len=[int])

Explanation   The software tried to send a message with a length greater than the maximum message size of 254 bytes.

Recommended Action   Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message   

%MBUS_SYS-3-NOBUFFER: Message from slot [dec] in stream [dec] dropped

Explanation   A message from the slot was dropped because there was no maintenance bus (MBus) buffer available. Either the messages are coming too fast or the process-level message handling is not processing the messages quickly enough.

Recommended Action   This condition should correct itself. Check if the gigabit route processor (GRP) is being inundated by messages from the chassis. If the condition persists, consider rebooting the GRP.

Error Message   

%MBUS_SYS-3-NOCHANNEL: Failed to allocate MBUS channel for over 10 secs

Explanation   No maintenance bus (MBus) channel could be allocated for sending messages. Either there is very heavy MBus traffic or there is a hardware problem. If there is temporary heavy traffic, the condition will clear itself. In case of hardware errors either the MBus agent has died or the hardware interface to the mailbox is not processing the messages. Resetting the processor, including the agent, may clear the problem. If the problem persists, the card probably has hardware problems and requires diagnosis.

Recommended Action   Power cycle the card. If the problem persists, the card may be defective and should be replaced.

Error Message   

%MBUS_SYS-3-REASSEMBLY: Error slot [dec], stream [dec] [chars]

Explanation   A reassembly error was detected for the given slot and stream combination. Either the slot and stream combination was incorrect (so it gave an invalid reassembly buffer index) or the first and last, or last few, packets were lost. The message will be dropped and may cause errors for the application running over the maintenance bus (MBus).

Recommended Action   This condition should correct itself. No action is required.

Error Message   

%MBUS_SYS-0-REGISTRY: Failed to create registry [chars][chars]

Explanation   The specified registry could not be created. The inability to create the registry is a catastrophic error for this feature. This condition requires a developer's intervention for a solution.

Recommended Action   Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message   

%MBUS_SYS-3-SEQUENCE: Sequencing error (slot [dec], stream [dec]): expected [dec], received [dec]

Explanation   An incorrect sequence number was detected in a multi-packet message. This error could occur if the source packetized the message incorrectly (unlikely) or if one or more packets were dropped.

Recommended Action   Check if there is excessive maintenance bus (MBus) activity, such as copious printing from a line card. To determine the lost message count, use the show mbus counters command.

Error Message   

%MBUS_SYS-3-TIMEOUT: Timeout on mbus request. Dest = [int], type = [int], addr = 0x[hex]

Explanation   No response was received from a maintenance bus (MBus) request. This request was either for an EEPROM field or a register read.

Recommended Action   Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message   

%MBUS_SYS-3-TXERR: Failed to transmit MBUS message for over 10 secs

Explanation   Message could not be transmitted since all the transmit buffers had been full for over 10 seconds. This may be a temporary problem if there is heavy maintenance bus (MBus) traffic. Otherwise, this error probably indicates a hardware problem. Either the MBus agent is not responding or the hardware interface is not generating interrupts.

Recommended Action   If this is a persistent problem power cycle the card. If the problem still continues it is likely to be a hardware problem that requires diagnosis.

Error Message   

%MBUS_SYS-3-UNEXPECTED: Unexpected response key = [int], current key = [int]

Explanation   An unexpected response to a read register or to a read EEPROM was received.

Recommended Action   Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.
