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. |

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 |
