OpenVMS System Messages: Companion Guide for Help Message Users
MACHINECHK, machine check while in kernel mode Facility: BUGCHECK, System Bugcheck Explanation: The OpenVMS software detected an irrecoverable hardware error. Because of the severity of the error, further operation is impossible or could corrupt user data. After all physical memory is written to a system dump file, the system automatically reboots if the BUGREBOOT system parameter is set to 1. User Action: Use the BACKUP command with the /IGNORE=NOBACKUP qualifier to make a backup save set of the system dump file and the error log file active at the time of the error. Contact a Compaq support representative and describe the conditions leading to the error. MAKEWSLE, make working set list entry error Facility: BUGCHECK, System Bugcheck Explanation: The OpenVMS software detected an irrecoverable, inconsistent condition. After all physical memory is written to a system dump file, the system automatically reboots if the BUGREBOOT system parameter is set to 1. User Action: Use the BACKUP command with the /IGNORE=NOBACKUP qualifier to make a backup save set of the system dump file and the error log file active at the time of the error. Contact a Compaq support representative and describe the conditions leading to the error. MAPCNTZER, attempted to generate zero length map pointer Facility: BUGCHECK, System Bugcheck Explanation: The OpenVMS software detected an irrecoverable, inconsistent condition. After all physical memory is written to a system dump file, the system automatically reboots if the BUGREBOOT system parameter is set to 1. User Action: Use the BACKUP command with the /IGNORE=NOBACKUP qualifier to make a backup save set of the system dump file and the error log file active at the time of the error. Contact a Compaq support representative and describe the conditions leading to the error. MAPHDRBAD, storage map header is bad; volume locked Facility: MOUNT, Mount Utility Explanation: An I/O error is encountered during a mount operation, or the header is corrupted. Existing files on the volume can be accessed, but other operations (for example, create and delete) are not possible. User Action: Copy the files that are still accessible to a new volume. Reconstruct, as necessary, from backup media. MARKUNL, exec image is marked for unload Facility: LOADER, Executive Image Loader Explanation: A call was made to the LDR$UNLOAD_IMAGE routine to unload a removable executive image that already has an outstanding unload request against it. User Action: None. MAXBAD, bad block table overflow for 'device-name' Facility: BACKUP, Backup Utility Explanation: The specified volume has too many bad blocks; either the DCL command INITIALIZE cannot initialize the volume, or the Backup utility cannot process the volume. This message generally indicates that the disk volume can no longer be used. User Action: Check the status of the device and reenter the command. If the failure persists, reformat the disk. Notify the system manager. If the failure still persists and the disk pack is under warranty, return it to Compaq. MAXDEV, too many devices Facility: MOUNT, Mount Utility Explanation: Too many devices were specified for a MOUNT operation. For tape devices the limit is 16, for volume sets the limit is 256, and for shadow set members the limit is 3. User Action: Correct the command and reenter it.
Maximum Number of Load Sharing Ports Exceeded
MAXLAB, too many volume labels Facility: MOUNT, Mount Utility Explanation: More than 256 labels were specified in the MOUNT command. User Action: Correct and reenter the command. MAXLINKS, maximum links already defined Facility: LAT, LAT Facility Explanation: The link cannot be created because the maximum number of allowable links is already defined. User Action: None. MAXSERV, maximum number of services exceeded Facility: LAT, LAT Facility Explanation: An attempt was made to create more than 255 services on the local node. User Action: A service must be deleted in order to add one. MAXTOOBIG, maxunits specified is too large Facility: SYSGEN, System Generation Utility Explanation: The /MAXUNITS qualifier, as specified, causes an overrun in a word-sized length field when the length of the IDB is calculated. User Action: Reenter the SYSGEN command CONNECT with a smaller /MAXUNITS number. MAXUNITS, unit number greater than maximum units specified Facility: SYSGEN, System Generation Utility Explanation: In creating the I/O database, a unit number is encountered that is larger than the maximum number of units allowed (default = 8). User Action: Retry the operation using the /MAXUNITS qualifier on the SYSGEN command CONNECT. MAXVOLS, too many volumes in volume set 'device-name' Facility: BACKUP, Backup Utility Explanation: The volume set count recorded in the home block of relative volume 1 of an input volume set is greater than 255. Possibly, this value has been corrupted. The Backup utility cannot process the volume. User Action: Reconstruct the volume set from backup media. MAXVOLS, volume set has too many volumes to handle Facility: RBLD, REBUILD Command (Mount Utility) Explanation: The number of volumes in the volume set exceeds the maximum allowed (225). User Action: If this error can be reliably reproduced, contact a Compaq support representative. MBACBHUNG, MBA CBHUNG bit set Facility: BUGCHECK, System Bugcheck Explanation: The OpenVMS software detected an irrecoverable, inconsistent condition. After all physical memory is written to a system dump file, the system automatically reboots if the BUGREBOOT system parameter is set to 1. User Action: Use the BACKUP command with the /IGNORE=NOBACKUP qualifier to make a backup save set of the system dump file and the error log file active at the time of the error. Contact a Compaq support representative and describe the conditions leading to the error.

MFYNULPGFL, FREWSLE - no backing store, page not modified Facility: BUGCHECK, System Bugcheck Explanation: The OpenVMS software detected an irrecoverable, inconsistent condition. After all physical memory is written to a system dump file, the system automatically reboots if the BUGREBOOT system parameter is set to 1. User Action: Use the BACKUP command with the /IGNORE=NOBACKUP qualifier to make a backup save set of the system dump file and the error log file active at the time of the error. Contact a Compaq support representative and describe the conditions leading to the error.
