|
|
.Nd Network Systems Hyperchannel interface
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "hy0 at uba0 csr 0172410 vector hyint"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm hy
|
|
interface provides access to a Network
|
|
Systems Corporation Hyperchannel Adapter.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The network to which the interface is attached
|
|
is specified at boot time with an
|
|
.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
|
|
.Xr ioctl 2 .
|
|
The host's address is discovered by reading the adapter status
|
|
register. The interface will not transmit or receive
|
|
packets until the network number is known.
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
.Bl -diag
|
|
.It "hy%d: unit number 0x%x port %d type %x microcode level 0x%x."
|
|
Identifies the device during autoconfiguration.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It hy%d: can't handle af%d.
|
|
The interface was handed
|
|
a message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address
|
|
family; the packet was dropped.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It hy%d: can't initialize.
|
|
The interface was unable to allocate
|
|
.Tn UNIBUS
|
|
resources. This
|
|
is usually due to having too many network devices on an 11/750
|
|
where there are only 3 buffered data paths.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It hy%d: NEX - Non Existent Memory.
|
|
Non existent memory error returned from hardware.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It hy%d: BAR overflow.
|
|
Bus address register
|
|
overflow error returned from hardware.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It hy%d: Power Off bit set, trying to reset.
|
|
Adapter has lost power, driver will reset the bit
|
|
and see if power is still out in the adapter.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It hy%d: Power Off Error, network shutdown.
|
|
Power was really off in the adapter, network
|
|
connections are dropped.
|
|
Software does not shut down the network unless
|
|
power has been off for a while.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It hy%d: RECVD MP > MPSIZE (%d).
|
|
A message proper was received that is too big.
|
|
Probable a driver bug.
|
|
Shouldn't happen.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It "hy%d: xmit error \- len > hy_olen [%d > %d]."
|
|
Probable driver error.
|
|
Shouldn't happen.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It hy%d: DRIVER BUG \- INVALID STATE %d.
|
|
The driver state machine reached a non-existent state.
|
|
Definite driver bug.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It hy%d: watchdog timer expired.
|
|
A command in the adapter has taken too long to complete.
|
|
Driver will abort and retry the command.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It hy%d: adapter power restored.
|
|
Software was able to reset the power off bit,
|
|
indicating that the power has been restored.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
interface appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.2 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
If the adapter does not respond to the status command
|
|
issued during autoconfigure, the adapter is assumed down.
|
|
A reboot is required to recognize it.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The adapter power fail interrupt seems to occur
|
|
sporadically when power has, in fact, not failed.
|
|
The driver will believe that power has failed
|
|
only if it can not reset the power fail latch after
|
|
a
|
|
.Dq reasonable
|
|
time interval.
|
|
These seem to appear about 2-4 times a day on some machines.
|
|
There seems to be no correlation with adapter
|
|
rev level, number of ports used etc. and whether a
|
|
machine will get these
|
|
.Dq bogus powerfails .
|
|
They don't seem to cause any real problems so they have
|
|
been ignored.
