Cabletron Systems CSMIM-T1 manual Boot Error Report

Chapter 5: Troubleshooting Procedures

The CSMIM-T1 requests a boot image from a pre-defined load host or by broadcasting a boot request. When a host responds, the CSMIM-T1 loads its operational image.

The CSMIM-T1 requires setting certain configuration parameters. Enter these parameters using the ROM Monitor commands for the initial boot sequence. See Chapter 3 for more information on these commands.

If the problem is a non-responsive host, the boot error report displays that information under the Rsp T/O’s field. This field indicates that the CSMIM-T1 timed out while waiting for a response to its boot request; if this field is empty, check the CSMIM-T1’s configuration parameters.

5.3.1Boot Error Report

If an error occurs, a CSMIM-T1 boot error report is generated only if the CSMIM-T1 has opened the boot file. The report is displayed using the following format:

BOOT ERROR REPORT (for BFS files only) Boot attempt from host nn.nn.nn.nn: Errors from Last Open Request:

0 ARP errors 0 ERPC layer errors 0 Aborts rx’d Errors from Last Read Request:

0 Msgs w/ wrong size 0 ERPC layer errors 0 Aborts rxd Errors from Last ERPC Layer Invocation:

0 H/W errors 1 Msgs from wrong host 0 Rsp T/O’s 0 Msgs of wrong type

NOTE

TFTP error reporting complies with the standard, predefined TFTP error codes.

The CSMIM-T1 generates a boot error report for the Internet address from which it tried, and failed, to boot. Table 5-7contains a description of the Errors from the Last Read Request; and Table 5-6contains a description of the Errors from Last ERPC Layer Invocation.
