System Messages

System Messages includes error and informational messages generated by the IntranetWareTM networking software that need additional explanation to resolve an error condition. This manual does not include self-explanatory messages.

This manual is not a comprehensive list of all error or informational messages generated by IntranetWare networking software.

Use this manual to get an explanation for a message and, if necessary, a course of action to correct the error condition when a message is displayed at a workstation screen or a server console.

NOTE:  To set up or maintain a network in the NetWare Enhanced Security configuration (the Class C2 evaluated configuration), you must supplement the information in this manual with the information in NetWare Enhanced Security Server, NetWare Enhanced Security Administration, Auditing the Network, and Security Features User Guide.

NOTE:  In Novell documentation, an asterisk denotes a trademarked name belonging to a third-party company. Novell trademarks are denoted with specific trademark symbols, such as TM.


Arrangement of the Manual

This manual documents messages generated by approximately 330 IntranetWare modules. The modules are arranged alphabetically. They are followed by three appendices:


Message Syntax

A unique identifying code precedes most error messages. Usually, this code consists of the following components:

For example, a typical message for LOGIN would appear as follows:

LOGIN-4.10-100: Access has been denied.

Some variation occurs in the format of certain groups of messages. LAN drivers, for example, include a platform designation instead of a version number:

NE2000-DOS-001: The LSL is not loaded.

Modules originating from sources related to OS/2 have yet another format:

REQ0205: The LAN support module could not be installed.

Some messages do not have a unique identifying code, so they are listed alphabetically in the module that originated the message.

The module version is not included in this document because it is updated each time a revision or a software patch is made to the module.


Explanations and Actions

An explanation and suggested actions usually follow each message in this manual. Some actions refer to related information in other manuals.


Error Codes

Many messages include an error code that is generated by the NetWare software. A listing of NetWare error codes is found in the Error Codes appendix.
