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.
| 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. |
