• Use Production Microcode (use_pcode)<br />

Setting this attribute to yes indicates that the production microcode should be<br />

downloaded to the adapter. If you specify the no value, the debug version of<br />

the microcode that has traces enabled is used. The default value is yes.<br />

1.5.2 Error Logging<br />

The following error log entries are currently logged by the device driver:<br />

• ERRID_GXENT_ADAP_ERR<br />

Indicates that the adapter self-check failed during initialization, and that the<br />

error is irrecoverable. User intervention is necessary to fix the problem.<br />

• ERRID_GXENT_DOWNLOAD_ERR<br />

Indicates that an error occurred while downloading firmware to the adapter,<br />

and that the error is irrecoverable. User intervention is necessary to fix the<br />

problem.<br />

• ERRID_GXENT_EEPROM_ERR<br />

Indicates that an error occurred while reading the adapter EEPROM, and that<br />

the error is irrecoverable. This error will only happen at configuration time.<br />

User intervention is necessary to fix the problem.<br />

• ERRID_GXENT_TX_ERR<br />

Indicates that the device driver has detected a transmission error (transmit<br />

time out). The device driver will enter network recovery mode where it will<br />

reset the adapter, re-download the firmware, and so on. If the recovery is<br />

successful, the driver will log ERRID_GXENT_ERR_RCVRY_EXIT; otherwise,<br />

ERRID_GXENT_ADAP_ERR or ERRID_GXENT_DOWNLOAD_ERR will be<br />

logged. User intervention is not required (unless ERRID_GXENT_ADAP_ERR<br />

or ERRID_GXENT_DOWNLOAD_ERR is also logged).<br />

• ERRID_GXENT_LINK_DOWN<br />

Indicates that the adapter has detected that the link between the adapter and<br />

the switch is down. The device driver will not enter network recovery mode.<br />

Transmission requests on the hardware and software transmit queues will not<br />

be deleted. The device driver will reject transmission requests until the link is<br />

established. Control operations will still be allowed during this time. When the<br />

link is established, the device driver will log<br />

ERRID_GXENT_ERR_RCVRY_EXIT. User intervention is necessary to fix the<br />

problem.<br />

• ERRID_GXENT_ERR_RCVRY_EXIT<br />

Indicates that the adapter encountered a temporary error (TX_ERR or<br />

LINK_DOWN) that halted network activity, and the problem has been<br />

resolved.<br />

• ERRID_GXENT_UNSUPPORTED_ERR<br />

Indicates that the adapter is not an IBM adapter. This error will only happen at<br />

configuration time and is irrecoverable. User intervention is necessary to fix<br />

the problem.<br />
