Ethernet controller messages The integrated Ethernet controller might display messages from the following device drivers: ™ v Novell NetWare or IntraNetWare system open data-link interface (ODI) v Network driver interface specification (NDIS) adapter for level 4.0 (Windows NT) Novell NetWare or IntraNetWare system ODI driver teaming messages This section provides explanations of the error messages for the Novell NetWare or IntraNetWare system ODI driver, and suggested actions to resolve each problem. Table 4. NetWare driver messages for the Ethernet controller Message Description Couldn't allocate resources. Explanation: An unknown error has occurred when trying to allocate needed resources for the AFT Module. Action: v Check the server configuration. If the problem persists, contact your network supplier. v Verify that the Ethernet controller is enabled. If the Ethernet controller is enabled, run the diagnostic programs. AFT group for primary adapter in slot nnn already exists. Explanation: An attempt was made to rebind an adapter already in an AFT group. Action: Check the AFT slot numbers for existing AFT teams. If the problem persists, contact your network supplier. Error locating device control table (DCT) addresses in internal table. Make sure that you have loaded LAN drivers after loading AFT.NLM. Explanation: The bind command was entered prior to loading the device driver. The device driver must be loaded after loading AFT.NLM, but before any bind command can be issued. Action: Load the driver for the supported adapter and try loading the AFT module again. If the problem persists, contact your network supplier. Insufficient number of arguments specified. Explanation: The appropriate or expected number of parameters was not entered in a command. Action: Check the parameters required for the given command. If the problem persists, contact your network supplier. Duplicate slot numbers detected. Explanation: An attempt has been made to bind the same slot number more than once. Action: Check the slot numbers entered during the bind. Adapter slot numbers must be valid and unique. If the problem persists, contact your network supplier. 26 Hardware Maintenance Manual: xSeries 200
