Recommended Action Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_MAIN-7-DLRSC Failed to determine whether running on dLRSC: [chars]
Explanation PlaceD was unable to determine whether it was running on the dLRSC, and therefore failed to initialize.
Recommended Action None - PlaceD should restart and recover by itself. If the message recurs: Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log. Issue the show tech-support placement command to gather data that may provide information to determine the nature of the error. If you cannot determine the nature of the error from the error message text or from the show tech-support placement output, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_MAIN-7-DLRSC_CHANGED The active dLRSC has changed, so the previously active PlaceD is transitioning to inactive state
Explanation The active dLRSC changed, so the process placement daemon running on the previously active dLRSC has changed to inactive state, so that the instance on the newly active dLRSC can take over without problems.
Recommended Action This indicates an unusual situation, but if there are no other indications of system problems then this is probably benign.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_MAIN-7-DLRSC_NOT Failed to get event type from dLRSC notification: [chars]
Explanation PlaceD couldn't get the event type from a dLRSC notification it received, and therefore may no longer be aware whether or not it is running on the dLRSC.
Recommended Action Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_MAIN-7-DLRSC_REG Failed to register for dLRSC notifications: [chars]
Explanation PlaceD failed to register for dLRSC change events, and therefore failed to initialize.
Recommended Action None - PlaceD should restart and recover by itself. If the message recurs: Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log. Issue the show tech-support placement command to gather data that may provide information to determine the nature of the error. If you cannot determine the nature of the error from the error message text or from the show tech-support placement output, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_MAIN-7-EVENT_BLOCK Error waiting for message - ignoring: [chars]
Explanation An error occured whilst PlaceD was waiting for a messages, PlaceD ignored the error and continued to wait for more messages.
Recommended Action If the message recurs, copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_MAIN-7-EVENT_HANDLER Failed to attach event handler to event manager: [chars]
Explanation PlaceD was unable register an event handling for processing received messages, and therefore failed to initialize.
Recommended Action If the message recurs, copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_MAIN-7-EVENT_MGR Failed to create an event manager for channel '[chars]': [chars]
Explanation PlaceD was unable to create an event manager for receiving messages, and therefore failed to initialize.
Recommended Action If the message recurs, copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_MAIN-7-INIT_COMPLETE Unable to record that initialization is complete: [chars]
Explanation PlaceD encountered a problem when recording the fact that it has successfully initialized for the first time since this logical router powered up. This means that problems may be encountered when PlaceD restarts, such as after a dLRSC migration.
Recommended Action In the short term this alone does not indicate that the system will operate incorrectly. It is however diagnostic of some underlying problem, and it is possible that the system will operate incorrectly after the placement daemon is forced to restart. Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_MAIN-7-PROC_READY Failed to signal end of initialization: [chars]
Explanation PlaceD was unable to inform SysMgr that it had completed its initialization.
Recommended Action If the message recurs, copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_MAIN-7-QSM_CHAN Failed to publish QSM channel '[chars]' (rendezvous '[chars]'): [chars]
Explanation PlaceD was unable to publish a channel for receiving messages, and therefore failed to initialize.
Recommended Action If the message recurs, copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_MAIN-7-QSM_RENDEZ Failed to get rendezvous name: [chars]
Explanation PlaceD was unable to get a rendezvous name for publishing the message channel, and therefore failed to initialize.
Recommended Action If the message recurs, copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_MAIN-7-SIGNALS Failed to set up signal mask: [chars]
Explanation One of the OS calls to set up the thread signal mask failed, and therefore PlaceD couldn't initialise.
Recommended Action If the message recurs, copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_MAIN-7-SYSDB Failed to do a [chars] with SysDB at '[chars]': [chars]
Explanation PlaceD was unable to perform a critical SysDB operation, and therefore failed to initialize.
Recommended Action If the message recurs, copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_MAIN-7-SYSDB_VRFN_INIT Failed to initialize SysDB verification functions handle: [chars]
Explanation PlaceD was unable to initialize its SysDB verification functions handle, and therefore failed to initialize.
Recommended Action If the message recurs, copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_MAIN-7-TRACE_BUFFERS Failed to initialize trace buffers: [chars]
Explanation PlaceD was unable to set up its trace buffers, and therefore failed to initialize. This almost certainly means there was insufficient memory available for placed to function correctly.
Recommended Action If the message recurs, copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_MAIN-7-UNEXPECTED_REQ Ignoring request type [dec] to non-active PlaceD instance
Explanation An inactive PlaceD instance received a request. Only the instance on the currently active dLRSC should receive any requests.
Recommended Action If this is during a dLRSC migration then it is probably benign, provided no other ill effects are seen. Otherwise it probably indicates a problem in the underlying infrastructure, such as QSM. Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_MAIN-7-UNKNOWN_MSG Ignoring unrecognized message (comp ID: [dec], msg no: [dec])
Explanation PlaceD did not recognise a message it received, and therefore ignored it.
Recommended Action If the message recurs, copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_MAIN-7-UNKNOWN_REQ Ignoring unrecognized request ([dec])
Explanation PlaceD did not recognise a request it received, and therefore ignored it.
Recommended Action If the message recurs, copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
PLACED_NODES Messages
Error Message%OS-PLACED_NODES-3-NO_NODES Empty or badly damaged LR inventory - assuming only [chars]%s[chars] present as a fallback strategy
Explanation There were no RP or DRP cards reported in the inventory for process placement. This is an error (the process placement daemon must be running on one such card if nothing else) and will have a very detrimental effect on process placement. The system will limp on as best it can, assuming the only RP/DRP in the LR is that on which the process placement daemon is itself running, and should the inventory problem be resolved then the system will then adjust accordingly automatically.
Recommended Action Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_NODES-7-LR_INVEN Failed to get [chars] from the LR inventory: [chars]
Explanation PlaceD couldn't retrieve the specified information from the LR inventory it received, and therefore may not have sufficient location information to place processes.
Recommended Action Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_NODES-7-LR_INVEN_ENTRY Failed to get [chars] from the LR inventory entry [dec]: [chars]
Explanation PlaceD couldn't retrieve the specified information from an entry in the LR inventory, and therefore ignored the entry.
Recommended Action Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_NODES-7-LR_INVEN_NODETYPE Ignoring entry [dec] in the LR inventory entry since location is of unknown type ([dec])
Explanation PlaceD didn't recognise the location type in an entry in the LR inventory, and therefore ignored the entry.
Recommended Action Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_NODES-7-LR_NOT Failed to get [chars] from LR notification: [chars]
Explanation PlaceD couldn't retrieve the specified information from an LR notification it received, and therefore may no longer have up-to-date location information.
Recommended Action Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_NODES-7-LR_REG Failed to register for LR notifications: [chars]
Explanation PlaceD couldn't register for LR notifications, and may therefore be unable to maintain up-to-date location information.
Recommended Action Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_NODES-7-MEMORY Insufficient memory for object representing location [chars] (partner [chars]), location will not be used for placement
Explanation An object to represent the location could not be created (probably due to insufficient memory). PlaceD will not be able to place processes at the location.
Recommended Action Reduce other system activity to ease memory demands. If conditions warrant, upgrade to a larger memory configuration. *RECUR*
Error Message%OS-PLACED_NODES-7-NO_INVENTORY The LR inventory is empty or not available (despite waiting for over a minute for it) - error '[chars]'. PlaceD cannot function without this information, so will restart and attempt to wait for the information again.
Explanation Placement requires a complete knowledge of the LR inventory in order to function as expected. The LR inventory is currently not fully populated, so PlaceD is restarting in order to give the LR inventory time to finish initialising. If this message continues to appear, this indicates that the LR information is not able to complete, and that this will be affecting the ability of the system to function.
Recommended Action Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_NODES-7-NODEID Failed to obtain ID of current location: [chars]
Explanation PlaceD was unable to determine the ID of the location at which it was running, and therefore failed to initialize.
Recommended Action If the message recurs, copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_NODES-7-NOT_RUNNING LR inventory indicated that state of location [chars] was [dec], using state [dec] (RUNNING) instead
Explanation The LR inventory showed that the location at which PlaceD was running was not in the running state. PlaceD assumed this was erroneous.
Recommended Action Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
PLACED_PLACE Messages
Error Message%OS-PLACED_PLACE-3-ALGO Placement algorithm failed: [chars]
Explanation An error occured in the algorithm used by PlaceD to determine the optimal placement.
Recommended Action If the message recurs: Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log. Issue the show tech-support placement command to gather data that may provide information to determine the nature of the error. If you cannot determine the nature of the error from the error message text or from the show tech-support placement output, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_PLACE-3-ALGO_RERUN Unable to determine optimal placement after running algorithm [unsigned int] times
Explanation PlaceD was unable to place one or more processes on any of the available nodes in the system.
Recommended Action If the message recurs: Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log. Issue the show tech-support placement command to gather data that may provide information to determine the nature of the error. If you cannot determine the nature of the error from the error message text or from the show tech-support placement output, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_PLACE-4-CANT_START Unable to start program [chars]%s[chars] since there is insufficient cpu or memory capacity
Explanation Starting the new program would overflow the watermarks for the cpu or memory capacity currently available.
Recommended Action Options include adding or unpairing a DRP, deconfiguring some features, or increasing the watermarks configured by placement { cpu | memory } maximum. One can also specify particularly important or disposable processes via configuring large or small existence affinities if so desired.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_PLACE-4-KILLING Killing program [chars]%s[chars] since there is insufficient cpu or memory capacity for all configured processes
Explanation There is insufficient cpu or memory capacity for all configured placeable processes.
Recommended Action Options include adding or unpairing a DRP, deconfiguring some features, or increasing the watermarks configured by placement { cpu | memory } maximum. One can also specify particularly important or disposable processes via configuring large or small existence affinities if so desired.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_PLACE-4-LISTEN Unable to listen for multicast messages: [chars] ([chars])
Explanation PlaceD is unable to register to receive multicast messages. This means that the location which emitted the message will not be able to keep its local copy of the current placement, persisted to non-volatile storage, up to date.
Recommended Action If this is a transient issue then the router will recover. Also, restarting the PlaceD instance that emitted this message will cause it to re-register to receive these updates. If the issue persists: Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_PLACE-4-REOP_ABORTED Re-optimization of the placement aborted due to [chars]. Placement has been partially re-optimized. Running the command again will complete the re-optimization
Explanation The re-optimization of the placement was aborted because PlaceD had to respond to a change in the router environment.
Recommended Action Run the 'placement reoptimize' command again to complete the re-optimization.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_PLACE-5-RESTARTING Program [chars]%s[chars] has now been started (was previously unable to run)
Explanation The program was previously prevented from running due to insufficient cpu or memory, but that situation no longer applies and so the program has now been started. This message may also result from problems in retrieving the node inventory for the router.
Recommended Action Options to prevent the original inability to run include adding or unpairing a DRP, deconfiguring some features, or increasing the watermarks configured by placement { cpu | memory } maximum. One can also specify particularly important or disposable processes via configuring large or small existence affinities if so desired. If a node inventory problem is suspected: Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log. Issue the show tech-support placement command to gather data that may provide information to determine the nature of the error. If you cannot determine the nature of the error from the error message text or from the show tech-support placement output, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_PLACE-5-WRITE_PERSIST Unable to [chars] when writing persistent placement: [chars] ([chars])
Explanation The current placement was being persisted to non- volatile storage, but a problem occured. If this condition persists then it is possible that the placement of processes across the available RPs and DRPs will be different after the next router/LR reload.
Recommended Action The write operation will be automatically re-tried later, so if this is a transitory condition then the system will recover completely without intervention. If this is a persistent problem then: Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_PLACE-6-REOP_COMPLETE Re-optimization of the placement complete. Use 'show placement' to view the new placement
Explanation The re-optimization of the placement has completed.
Recommended Action Use the 'show placement' command to view the newly re-optimized placement.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_PLACE-6-REOP_START Re-optimization of the placement requested. You will be notified on completion
Explanation A re-optimization of the placement has started. The most optimal location of each program will be re-calculated by ignoring any affinity of the default program to the current location. Any resulting migrations will be rate limited accoring to the slow migration interval configured for each program.
Recommended Action Wait for the notification that the re-optimization has completed before adding or removing cards from the router, adding new configuration, or starting a new re-optimization.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_PLACE-7-AFFINITY_ITERATOR Unable to obtain affinity iterator for [chars]
Explanation PlaceD was unable to obtain an iterator for all the affinities.
Recommended Action This is non-critical, and in the absence of other errors, simply means that one facility (triggering reoptimisation of placements by the user) is inoperable.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_PLACE-7-ALGO_INIT Unable to create placement algorithm
Explanation PlaceD was unable to create the placement algorithm object, and therefore failed to initialize.
Recommended Action Reduce other system activity to ease memory demands. If conditions warrant, upgrade to a larger memory configuration. *RECUR*
Error Message%OS-PLACED_PLACE-7-CHKPT_INIT Failed to initialize checkpoint store: [chars]
Explanation PlaceD was unable to initialize the checkpoint store for the placement package, and therefore failed to initialize.
Recommended Action If the message recurs, copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_PLACE-7-CHKPT_UPDATE Failed to update checkpoint record for re-optimization status: [chars]
Explanation PlaceD was unable to update the checkpointed information indicating whether a placement re-optimization is in progress.
Recommended Action This should not be a service-affecting incident. However, PlaceD may no longer be able to correctly report the completion of re-optimization events. Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_PLACE-7-LOOKUP_PERSIST Unable to [chars] when looking up persisted placement for [chars]%s[chars]: [chars] ([chars])
Explanation PlaceD hit a problem when looking up the persisted location for a process. This means that it may not be placed on the same location as it was assigned before the most recent reload of the router or LR.
Recommended Action This should not be a service-affecting incident. If this is because the card on which the process was previously placed has been removed, taken administratively down, or been assigned to a different logical router, then this is entirely expected and benign. Otherwise: Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log. Issue the show tech-support placement command to gather data that may provide information to determine the nature of the error. If you cannot determine the nature of the error from the error message text or from the show tech-support placement output, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_PLACE-7-SYSDB Unable to [chars] with SysDB at [chars]: [chars]
Explanation PlaceD was unable to register with SysDB for receiving 'placement persist now' actions. This facility will be unavailable.
Recommended Action This is non-critical, and in the absence of other errors, simply means that one facility (triggering persisting of placements by the user) is inoperable.
Error Message%OS-PLACED_PLACE-7-TIMER Unable to [chars] persistence timer
Explanation PlaceD was unable to create the persistence timer, and therefore failed to initialize.
Recommended Action Reduce other system activity to ease memory demands. If conditions warrant, upgrade to a larger memory configuration. *RECUR*
