Chapter 2. Message and Recovery Procedures 25
PLATFORM_CAT2950-3-REG_READ_FAILURE: Register read failed for [chars] in [chars]
Explanation This message means that the register read failed for register [chars] in [chars]. An attempt
to read a valid location in the internal chip register failed. This could be due to a hardware defect.
Response Find out more about the error by using the show tech-support privileged EXEC command and
by copying the error message exactly as it appears on the console or system log and entering it in the Output
Interpreter tool. Use the Bug Toolkit to look for similar reported problems. For more information about these
online tools , see the “Error Message Traceback Reports” section on page 9.
PLATFORM_CAT2950-3-REG_WRITE_FAILURE: Register write failed for register [char s] in [chars]
Explanation This message means that an attempt to write to a location in the internal chip register
failed. This might be caused by writing to an invalid register location or by a defect in the hardware.
Response Find out more about the error by using the show tech-support privileged EXEC command and
by copying the error message exactly as it appears on the console or system log and entering it in the Output
Interpreter tool. Use the Bug Toolkit to look for similar reported problems. For more information about these
online tools , see the “Error Message Traceback Reports” section on page 9.
PLATFORM_CAT2950-3-PCI_TEST_FAILURE: PCI address space test failed, Wrote [hex], read [hex], re-read [hex].
Explanation This message means that, during POST, the PCI address space for the ASIC was not
mapped correctly. This might occur because of a system PCI-bus problem. The first [hex], the second
[hex], and the third [hex] are test data.
Response Find out more about the error by using the show tech-support privileged EXEC command and
by copying the error message exactly as it appears on the console or system log and entering it in the Output
Interpreter tool. Use the Bug Toolkit to look for similar reported problems. For more information about these
online tools , see the “Error Message Traceback Reports” section on page 9.
PLATFORM_CAT2950-3-SCHAN_OP_FAILURE: S-channel operation timeout for opcode [chars].
Explanation This message means that there was a failure to read or write to an ASIC register or a
memory location because of an ASIC internal bus failure. [chars] is the operation code.
Response If the message recurs, find out more ab ou t t he e rro r b y usi ng the show tec h-support privileged
EXEC command and by copying the error message exactly as it appears on the c onsole or system log and
entering it in the Output Interpreter tool. Use the Bug Toolkit to look for similar reported problems. For more
information about these online tools , see the “Error Message Traceback Reports” section on page 9.
PLATFORM_CAT2950-3-SCHAN_READ_REG_FAILURE: S-channel operation read register failure at addr [hex].
Explanation This message means that there was a failure to read the ASIC registers, which might occur
because of an invalid register address or internal bus failure. [hex] is the register address.
Response If the message recurs, find out more ab ou t t he e rro r b y usi ng the show tec h-support privileged
EXEC command and by copying the error message exactly as it appears on the c onsole or system log and
entering it in the Output Interpreter tool. Use the Bug Toolkit to look for similar reported problems. For more
