Problems Communicating To
Database
Please check if the database
service is running and
connectivity is present.
Database backup
failed
Critical
A manual attempt to backup the
database failed.
This can indicate insufficient
disk space for storage of the
backup file. Check your disk
capacity and clear enough
space to accommodate the
backup file, and then attempt
the backup again.
Database System
Integrity
Critical
A warning is displayed: Unable
To Locate Index File For Table

tables
Dropping alerts
and packet logs
Critical
Manager is not communicating
with the database; the alert and
packet logs overflowing queues.
Perform maintenance
operations to clean and tune
the database.
Exceeding alert
capacity threshold
Critical
As with the “Approaching alert
capacity threshold” fault
message, this message
indicates the percentage of
space occupied by alerts in the
database. This message
appears once you have
exceeded the alert threshold
specified in Manager >
Maintenance.
Perform maintenance
operations to clean the
database. Delete unnecessary
alerts, such as alerts older
than a specific number of
days.
Failure to create additional
space could cause
undesirable behavior in the
Manager.
Failed to create
command channel
association
Critical
Indicates a failure to create a
secure connection between the
Manager and the McAfee
®
Network Security Sensor
(Sensor). Can be caused by loss
of synchronisms between the
system time of the Manager
server and the Sensor. Can also
indicate that the Sensor is not
completely on-line after a reboot.
Restart the Manager. Check
the Sensor’s operating status
to ensure that the Sensor’s
health is good and status is
good.
Fail Open Control
Module Timeout
Critical
Communication has timed out
between the Fail Open Controller
in the Sensor’s Compact Flash
port and the Fail Open Bypass
Switch. This situation has
caused the Sensor to move to
Bypass mode and traffic to
bypass the Sensor.
The fault could be the result of
a cable being disconnected, or
removal of the Bypass Switch.
This fault clears automatically
when communication resumes
between the Fail Open
Controller and Fail Open
Bypass Switch.
