Table A-14 DCS Error Messages

Error Message 

Probable Cause 

Suggested Action 

DCS ERROR: permission denied

Only the superuser on the domain can run the DCS.  

Check the inetd.conf file on the domain to ensure that the DCS is started with superuser UID.

DCS ERROR: internal error: operation: error_description

An internal error occurred within the DCS.  

Use the error_description, which corresponds with the errno_value to diagnose the error. The operation field refers to the function call that caused the error.

DCS NOTICE: unrecognized error reported

The DCS reported an unknown error condition.  

Use the log file on the domain to help determine what caused the error.  

DCS ERROR: network initialization failed

The DCS failed to initialize the network connection used to accept DR requests from the DCA.  

Retry the DR operation.  

DCS ERROR: failed to acquire reserved port

The DCS uses port 665, which is reserved through sun-dr. The error occurred because another process is using the port.  

Determine if another process is still using the port. If so, kill the process, if possible, then retry the DR operation.  

DCS ERROR: connection attempt failed

The DCS failed to establish a connection with the DCA.  

Retry the DR operation.  

DCS ERROR: unable to receive message

The DCS failed to receive a message from the DCA.  

Retry the DR operation.  

DCS ERROR: unable to send message for operation_name operation

The DCS failed to send a message to the DCA.  

Retry the DR operation.  

DCS NOTICE: sun-dr service not found, using reserved port 665

The DCS failed to find the sun-dr service in /etc/services.

None 

DCS NOTICE: client disconnected

The client unexpectedly disconnected.  

None 

DCS ERROR: unknown operation requested

The DCA requested an operation that is not recognized by the DCS.  

Retry the DR operation.  

DCS ERROR: operation failed

The current DCS operation failed to complete. The DR operation could have succeeded, if the DCS only failed to send the results to the DCA.  

Check the status of the operation manually. If the DR operation did not succeed, retry the operation.  

DCS ERROR: invalid session establishment sequence

The session establishment sequence, the initialization handshake, between the DCA and the DCS failed.  

Retry the DR operation.  

DCS ERROR: operation_name operation issued before session established

A DR operation was requested before the session was established.  

Retry the DR operation.  

DCS ERROR: received an invalid message

The DCS received unexpected information in the message.  

Retry the DR operation.  

DCS NOTICE: confirm callback failed, aborting operation

The DCS was able to display the confirmation prompt to the user.  

None 

DCS NOTICE: message callback failed, continuing

The DCS was unable to display a message to the user.  

None 

DCS NOTICE: retry value invalid (retry_value)

The value given for the retry_value was invalid, so the operation proceeded with the retry value set to zero.

None 

DCS NOTICE: timeout value invalid (timeout_value)

The value given for the timeout_value was invalid, so the operation proceeded with the retry value set to zero.

None 

DCS INFO: retrying operation, attempt attempt_number

The DCS is retrying the operation. The attempt_number field represents the current attempt.

None 

DCS ERROR: failed to start a new session handler

The DCS failed to start a concurrent session handler to process the incoming DR request.  

Retry the DR operation.  

DCS ERROR: abort attempt of session, session_id, unsuccessful

The DCS failed to abort session, session_id.

Retry the abort request.  

DCS ERROR: unsupported message protocol version: version_number

The DCS does not support the reported protocol version, version_number.

Check the DR software on the domain and on the SSP. Reinstall the proper version of the software on domain if they are not compatible.  

DCS INFO: session aborted

The current DR operation was aborted by the user.
