EZZ6238I
socket_function_failed_for_z/OS UNIX_DPI_socket; error_text

Explanation

The SNMP agent is attempting to set up an AF_UNIX socket for use in communicating with subagents. The AF_UNIX socket is represented by a z/OS® UNIX file, whose default path name is /var/dpi_socket. The file name can be specified either on the -s parameter at SNMP agent initialization or by setting the dpiPathNameForUnixStream MIB object value in the OSNMPD.DATA file. This message indicates that one of the function calls used to setup this AF_UNIX socket or its associated z/OS UNIX file failed.

In the message text:
socket_function_failed_for_z/OS UNIX_DPI_socket
The function call that failed.
error_text
Provides more information about the cause of the error.

A z/OS UNIX DPI socket is used for communication between the agent and subagents functions.

error_text provides more information about the cause of the error.

System action

The agent might end depending on the socket function.
