Note

For Table A"1, refer to your system manuals for File Management Package error codes (Type 3 errors).

Driver Error Codes

Driver error codes (Type 4 errors) are returned to the user through Node Manager software (specifically, the NMGR module) and defined in Table A"2.

For Table A"2, driver reported errors may be recoverable, or irrecoverable. Recoverable errors are considered transient, and the driver will likely respond to new Node Manager requests. Irrecoverable errors, on the other hand, imply that new driver requests will fail and may result in an inoperative node.
