Debugging network server description error messages

This topic provides a list of network server description (NWSD) error codes and explanations to help you debug NWSD error messages for Linux logical partitions.

You could encounter error messages when you try to vary on a Linux logical partition. These error messages are displayed if you provide information when you create your network server description (NWSD) that does not apply to a logical partition running on the server. All error messages related to the NWSD are displayed in QSYSOPR indicating a description of the problem and a resolution to the problem.
Table 1. NWSD error messages
Reason codes Code explanations
00000001 *NWSSTG was specified as the IPL source, but no storage space was found.
00000002 The partition specified in the PARTITION parameter was not found. Use the CHGNWSD IBM® i Control Language (CL) command to compare the partition name in the NWSD with the partition name created on the Hardware Management Console (HMC), and change the partition name as necessary.
00000003 The partition specified in the PARTITION parameter is not a GUEST partition (that is, the TYPE parameter for the partition specified in the PARTITION parameter does not have a value of *GUEST).
00000004 There is already an NWSD in the IBM i logical partition that is active and using the partition specified in the PARTITION parameter of the NWSD.
00000005 The partition specified in the PARTITION parameter of the NWSD is powered on (perhaps through the LPAR configuration interface or from another IBM i logical partition.)
00000006 The partition is set to start from a stream file (stmf) and that did not work. You should note that the user performing the vary on operation needs read access to the IPL STMF parameter.
00000007 The NWSD is set to start from a network-storage space (NWSSTG), but the kernel could not found the NWSSTG. Some common reasons are that the storage space does not have a disk partition that is formatted as type 0x41 or is marked as startable.
00000008 The partition would not start. There are a variety of reasons why the partition will not start. You should look at the information for this partition and start reviewing the SRCs.
00000009 The partition identified as the logical partition is not configured. You should specify who has power controlling access to the partition.
00000010 A network server storage space linked to this network server is damaged. Contact your next level of support.
00000011 Contact your next level of support to find a proper solution to the problem.
00000012 The resource name you selected in the RSRCNAME parameter is not valid. Use the Work with Hardware Resources (WRKHDWRSC) command with the TYPE(*CMN) parameter to help determine the resource name.
00000013 The resource you selected in the RSRCNAME command exists, but is not in the partition you specified. Use the WRKHDWRSC command with the TYPE(*CMN) parameter to help determine a resource name in the partition you specified.
00000014 Unable to determine partition for resource name. Either specify a partition directly or update the resource definition at the HMC to indicate the client partition.
00000015 Unknown error occurred. Contact your next level of support.
