Cisco ONS 15530 System Alarms and Error Messages


This document lists and describes system alarms and error messages for the Cisco ONS 15530. The system software sends these alarms and error messages to the console (and, optionally, to a logging server on another system) during operation. Not all error messages indicate problems with your system. Some are purely informational, while others might help diagnose problems with links, internal hardware, or the system software.

About System Alarms and Error Messages

System alarms are associated with a physical entity such as a module or a chassis. Unlike simple error messages, the state of an alarm persists until an assert or clear event changes its state.

When an alarm state changes, you see an associated error message describing whether the alarm is asserted or cleared. The associated error message also displays the severity and description of the entity plus the alarm type.

You can display the current state of alarms by using the show facility-alarm status command on the active CPU switch module, as in the following example:

Switch# show facility-alarm status System Totals Critical: 0 Major: 2 Minor: 1

Source Severity Description [Index] ------ -------- ------------------- Power Supply 1 MAJOR Power supply unit has failed [0] Gigab4/0/4 INFO Keep-alive timeout event [12] PSC card 5 MINOR Unprotected. Peer missing [9] Wavep2/0/0 MAJOR Low alarm threshold exceeded for Receive Power (in dBm) Wavep2/0/0 INFO Low warning threshold exceeded for Receive Power (in dBm)

Note The number that appears at the beginning of the description is the index of the alarm.


How to Read System Alarms and Error Messages

The list of system alarms and error messages is organized according to the system facility that produces the messages, in alphabetical order. Within each system facility section, messages are listed alphabetically by mnemonics. Each error message is followed by an explanation and a recommended action. System alarms and error messages appear only when the system remains operational.

Error message severity levels correspond to the keywords assigned by the logging global configuration commands that define where and at what level these messages appear. The default is to log messages to the console at the debugging level (7).

System error messages begin with a percent sign and are structured as follows:

%FACILITY-SEVERITY-MNEMONIC : Message-text

FACILITY is a code consisting of two or more uppercase letters that indicate the facility to which the alarm or error message refers. A facility is a hardware device, a protocol, or a module of the system software. Table 1 lists the system facility codes.


Note Prior releases contain the HAMPTONS system facility code. All HAMPTONS error codes have been renamed ONS15530. For current descriptions of HAMPTONS error messages, please see the "ONS15530" section.

SEVERITY is a single-digit code that reflects the severity of the condition. The SEVERITY code for system alarms (shown in Table 2) and error messages (shown in Table 3) are different.

System alarm SEVERITY codes range from 0 to 3 and reflect the severity of the alarm. The lower the number, the more serious the alarm. Table 2 lists the severity levels.

Table 2 Alarm Message Severity Levels 

Level
Description

0 - critical

Critical condition

1 - major

Immediate action needed

2 - minor

Minor alarm condition

3 - informational

Informational message only


Error message SEVERITY codes range from 0 to 7 and reflect the severity of the condition. The lower the number, the more serious the situation. Table 3 lists the severity levels.

Table 3 System Error Message Severity Levels 

Level
Description

0 - emergency

System unusable

1 - alert

MNEMONIC is a code that uniquely identifies the error message.

Message-text is a text string that describes the condition. This portion of the message might contain detailed information about the event, including terminal port numbers, network addresses, or addresses that correspond to locations in the system memory address space. Because the information in these variable fields changes from message to message, it is represented here by short strings enclosed in square brackets ([ ]). A decimal number, for example, is represented as [dec].

Table 4 lists the representations of variable fields and the type of information in the fields.

A sample error message follows:

%LCMDC-3-EOP_NOLG_PALM: Egress Loss of Light Prealarm: Slot [dec] Subcard [dec] Port [dec]

Table 4 Representation of Variable Fields in Alarms and Error Messages

Meaning of Ingress and Egress in Error Messages

If the term "ingress" appears in an error message, it refers to client interfaces and the fault is associated with the client equipment. This term appears in the following example:

%LCMDC-3-FH_ILOSY_ALM: Ingress FC/ESCON Loss of Sync; Slot [dec] Subcard [dec] Port [dec]

If the term "egress" appears in an error message, it refers to a transponder wave interface on the trunk side, and the fault originates from the remote node. This term appears in the following example:

%LCMDC-3-ECDRLK_ALM : Egress CDR Locking error; Slot [dec] Subcard [dec] Port [dec]

Error Message Traceback Reports

A number of messages describe internal errors and contain traceback information. This information is very important and should be included when you report a problem to your technical support representative.

The following sample error message includes traceback information:

-Process= "Exec", level= 0, pid= 17
-Traceback= 1A82 1AB4 6378 A072 1054 1860

System Alarms and Error Messages

This section includes the Cisco ONS 15530 software error messages. They are grouped according to the facility codes listed in Table 1.

APS

%APS-2-INITSYS:

Explanation    A software error occurred during initialization of the APS subsystem.

Action Check for sufficient CPU switch module memory.

%APS-3-PORT_FAIL: Port Fail On:

Explanation    The APS subsystem receives a port fail indication from the driver subsystem. The specified interface detected a failure condition (for example, loss of light).

Action Isolate the cause of the failure and restore the interface to normal operational condition.

%APS-1-NO_ACTIVE: No Active Port In Group:

Explanation    After an active interface failure, the system switches over to the standby interface if APS is enabled. This message appears if after a switchover the system finds no active interface; that is, both working and protection interfaces are found to be nonoperational.

Action Isolate the cause of the failure on both the working and protection interfaces.

%APS-6-AUTOFOVER:

Explanation    The APS hardware successfully switched over to the standby interface after the failure of the active interface.

Action Isolate the cause of the failure of the previous active interface and restore it to a normal operational condition.

Action This message is informational only.

%APS-6-DISAUTFOV:

Explanation    APS disabled autofailover for the indicated group.

Action Check the condition of the protection line in the corresponding APS group.

%APS-6-ADJUSTMODE:

Explanation    The local APS group was configured for bidirectional operation but the associated remote APS group was configured for unidirectional operation. The local network element detects the mismatch, changes the operation to unidirectional, and posts this message.

Action Configure the remote APS group for bidirectional operation or the local node to unidirectional.

%APS-6-BIDIRSWCH:

Explanation    The local network element posts this message only after an APS switchover that is triggered by an APS request from the remote network element.

Action This message is informational only.

%APS-2-CHNLCFGMM:

Explanation    The local network element posts this message if it detects a Far End Protection Failure condition. This failure is detected if the Far End Protection Defect count exceeds a threshold. The local network element detects a Far End Protection Defect when it receives a remote APS message with request set to SF (signal fail) and request channel set to 0 (null or protection channel).

Action Isolate the cause of the failure on the protection channel on the remote network element.

%APS-2-PSBF:

Explanation    The local network element posts this message if it detects a Protection Switch Byte Failure. This failure is detected when the Protection Switch Byte defect count exceeds a threshold. A Protection Switch Byte Defect is detected when one of the following happens:

1. The remote APS request is not one of the supported requests.
2. The remote APS request channel number is invalid. For 1+1 APS, the channel number must be 0 or 1.
3. Operation is bidirectional and neither local nor remote network element is sending a REVERSE-REQUEST, and the remote APS request is of lower priority than the local APS request.
4. Operation is bidirectional and the sequence number in the remote APS REVERSE-REQUEST does
not match the sequence number of the most recent APS request sent by the local network element.

Action Check for failures on the APS communication channel. Isolate the cause for such failures and restore the communication channel to working condition.

%APS-2-MODEMISMATCH:

Explanation    The local network element posts this message if the local APS group was configured for bidirectional operation but the associated remote APS group was configured for unidirectional operation. A mismatch in mode (unidirectional or bidirectional) was detected.

Action Configure the remote APS group for bidirectional operation or the local node to unidirectional operation.

%APS-2-CHNLMISMATCH:

Explanation    The received bridged channel number (in the REVERSE-REQUEST from the remote network element) does not match the request channel number in the APS request sent by the local network element. This message only applies to bidirectional operation.

For 1+1 APS, this message is normally not posted unless the transmit bridged channel number in the REVERSE-REQUEST from the remote network element is somehow corrupted or there is a bug in the APS software itself.

Action Check for any failures on the APS communication channel. If the APS communication channel is operational, contact Cisco TAC.

%APS-2-FEPF:

Explanation    The APS subsystem fails to create a UDP socket for exchanging APS channel protocol messages over an APS message channel configured for IP. This usually is due to a low memory condition in the system.

Action Reload the system software.

%APS-2-NOSOCKET: Failed To Open Socket

Two types of support are available: the Cisco TAC website and the Cisco TAC Escalation Center. The type of support that you choose depends on the priority of the problem and the conditions stated in service contracts, when applicable.

We categorize Cisco TAC inquiries according to urgency:

Priority level 4 (P4)—You need information or assistance concerning Cisco product capabilities, product installation, or basic product configuration. There is little or no impact to your business operations.

Priority level 3 (P3)—Operational performance of the network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco are willing to commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Priority level 2 (P2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operations are negatively impacted by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Priority level 1 (P1)—An existing network is "down," or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.
