66.0 STREAMS Messages

The following includes messages from STREAMS.NLM.

STREAMS-X-6: The routine timeout could not allocate number bytes of memory. This may cause applications to lock up waiting for a timer event that will never happen.

Source: STREAMS.NLM
Explanation: The function could not allocate the requested number of bytes for the timer structure. Applications waiting for timer events might hang when these events do not occur.
Possible Cause: The server might not have enough available memory.
Action: Increase the memory available to the server. See Freeing Server Memory Temporarily in the NW 6.5 SP8: Server Operating SystemAdministration Guide.

STREAMS-X-9: Number invalid handles were passed to StreamCancel from StreamCleanup. A STREAMS protocol module or device may have been unloaded prematurely!

Source: STREAMS.NLM
Explanation: This is not a fatal error, but allocated memory pieces might become lost.
Possible Cause: The indicated number of invalid file handles were passed to the function StreamCancel from StreamCleanup. A STREAMS protocol module might have been unloaded prematurely.
Action: If the problem persists, contact a Novell support provider or the application developer.

STREAMS-X-16: An invalid streamtab pointer was used for protocol device name; device cannot be installed.

Source: STREAMS.NLM
Explanation: A called function could not install the device.

STREAMS-X-18:The protocol device name name is too long; device cannot be installed.

Source: STREAMS.NLM
Explanation: The device specified cannot be installed.
Possible Cause: The name specified for the device is too long.
Action: If you have access to developer documentation, consult it for the valid name length. If the problem persists, contact a Novell support provider or the application developer.

STREAMS-X-21: An invalid streamtab pointer was used for protocol module device_name; module cannot be installed.

Source: STREAMS.NLM
Explanation: A called function could not install the module.
Possible Cause: A pointer to the streamtab is invalid.
Action: If you have access to developer documentation, consult it for the proper streamtab pointer format. If the problem persists, contact a Novell support provider or the application developer.

STREAMS-X-23: The protocol module name device_name is too long; module cannot be installed.

Source: STREAMS.NLM
Possible Cause: The name specified for the module is too long.
Action: If you have access to developer documentation, consult it for the valid name length. If the problem persists, contact a Novell support provider or the application developer.

STREAMS-X-28: Unable to allocate a queue within the sth_ipush function; module not added to stream.

Source: STREAMS.NLM
Explanation: The sth_ipush function could not allocate a queue, so the new module was not added to the stream.
Possible Cause: The server does not have enough available memory.
Action: Increase the memory available to the server. See Freeing Server Memory Temporarily in the NW 6.5 SP8: Server Operating SystemAdministration Guide. If the problem persists, contact a Novell support provider.

STREAMS-X-29: Unable to unlink modules within the sth_osr_close function.

Source: STREAMS.NLM
Explanation: The sth_osr_close function could not unlink the modules.
Action: If the problem persists, contact a Novell support provider or the application developer.

STREAMS-X-32: Could not perform the I/O control operation from within the sth_unlink function; closing anyway.

Source: STREAMS.NLM
Explanation: The sth_unlink function could not perform the ioctl operation, but it will continue closing the application or process anyway.
Action: If the problem persists, contact a Novell support provider or the application developer.

STREAMS-X-87: Could not allocate a callback control structure within the bufcall function. This may cause applications to lock up waiting for a callback event that will never happen.

Source: STREAMS.NLM
Explanation: Bufcall could not allocate a callback control structure. Not having a callback control structure might cause the application to lock up while waiting for a callback event that will never happen.
Possible Cause: The server does not have enough available memory.
Action: Increase the memory available to the server. See Freeing Server Memory Temporarily in the NW 6.5 SP8: Server Operating SystemAdministration Guide.

STREAMS-X-88: An undetermined cleanup error occurred with device name; unloading will continue.

Source: STREAMS.NLM
Explanation: The unloading procedure for the device will continue.
Possible Cause: The exact cause of this error is unknown.
Action: No further action is required.

STREAMS-X-89: An undetermined cleanup error occurred with module name; unloading will continue.

Source: STREAMS.NLM
Explanation: The unloading procedure for the device will continue.
Possible Cause: The exact cause of this error is unknown.
Action: No further action is required.

STREAMS-X-90: The message name was too long to print using mi_printf.

Source: STREAMS.NLM
Explanation: The mi_printf function cannot print this message.
Possible Cause: The messages is too long.
Action: If the problem persists, contact a Novell support provider, the application developer, or the protocol developer.

STREAMS-X-91: An invalid handle was passed to StreamCancel from StreamCleanup. A STREAMS protocol module or device may have been unloaded prematurely!

Source: STREAMS.NLM
Explanation: The indicated number of invalid file handles were passed to the function StreamCancel from StreamCleanup. This is not a fatal error, but allocated memory might be lost.
Possible Cause: A STREAMS protocol module might have been unloaded prematurely.
Action: If the problem persists, contact a Novell support provider or the application developer.

STREAMS-X-95: Unable to locate signal structure in sig table list

Source: STREAMS.NLM

Possible Cause: A function was unable to locate the signal structure from within the sig table list.
Action: If the problem persists, contact a Novell support provider or the application developer.

STREAMS-X-113: An undetermined initialization error occurred with device name; STREAMS cannot load successfully.

Source: STREAMS.NLM
Explanation: An unknown error prevented the indicated device from being initialized. This device is necessary for STREAMS to operate correctly.
Action: Try again. If the problem persists, contact a Novell support provider.

STREAMS-X-114: An undetermined initialization error occurred with module name; STREAMS cannot load successfully.

Source: STREAMS.NLM
Explanation: An unknown error prevented the indicated module from being initialized. This module is necessary for STREAMS to operate correctly.
Action: Try again. If the problem persists, contact a Novell support provider or the application developer.

STREAMS-X-115: An undetermined cleanup error occurred with device name; unloading will continue.

Source: STREAMS.NLM
Explanation: The unloading procedure for the device will continue.
