33.Dt HY 4 vax
34.Os
35.Sh NAME
36.Nm hy
37.Nd Network Systems Hyperchannel interface
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39.Cd "hy0 at uba0 csr 0172410 vector hyint"
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41NOTE: This driver has not been ported from
42.Bx 4.4
43yet.
44.Pp
45The
46.Nm hy
47interface provides access to a Network
48Systems Corporation Hyperchannel Adapter.
49.Pp
50The network to which the interface is attached
51is specified at boot time with an
52.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
53.Xr ioctl 2 .
54The host's address is discovered by reading the adapter status
55register.
56The interface will not transmit or receive
57packets until the network number is known.
58.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
59.Bl -diag
60.It "hy%d: unit number 0x%x port %d type %x microcode level 0x%x."
61Identifies the device during autoconfiguration.
62.It hy%d: can't handle af%d.
63The interface was handed
64a message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address
65family; the packet was dropped.
66.It hy%d: can't initialize.
67The interface was unable to allocate
68.Tn UNIBUS
69resources.
70This
71is usually due to having too many network devices on an 11/750
72where there are only 3 buffered data paths.
73.It hy%d: NEX - Non Existent Memory.
74Non existent memory error returned from hardware.
75.It hy%d:  BAR overflow.
76Bus address register
77overflow error returned from hardware.
78.It hy%d: Power Off bit set, trying to reset.
79Adapter has lost power, driver will reset the bit
80and see if power is still out in the adapter.
81.It hy%d: Power Off Error, network shutdown.
82Power was really off in the adapter, network
83connections are dropped.
84Software does not shut down the network unless
85power has been off for a while.
86.It hy%d: RECVD MP > MPSIZE (%d).
87A message proper was received that is too big.
88Probable a driver bug.
89Shouldn't happen.
90.It "hy%d: xmit error \- len > hy_olen [%d > %d]."
91Probable driver error.
92Shouldn't happen.
93.It hy%d: DRIVER BUG \- INVALID STATE %d.
94The driver state machine reached a non-existent state.
95Definite driver bug.
96.It hy%d: watchdog timer expired.
97A command in the adapter has taken too long to complete.
98Driver will abort and retry the command.
99.It hy%d: adapter power restored.
100Software was able to reset the power off bit,
101indicating that the power has been restored.

106.Sh HISTORY
107The
108.Nm
109interface appeared in
110.Bx 4.2 .
111.Sh BUGS
112If the adapter does not respond to the status command
113issued during autoconfigure, the adapter is assumed down.
114A reboot is required to recognize it.
115.Pp
116The adapter power fail interrupt seems to occur
117sporadically when power has, in fact, not failed.
118The driver will believe that power has failed
119only if it can not reset the power fail latch after
120a
121.Dq reasonable
122time interval.
123These seem to appear about 2-4 times a day on some machines.
124There seems to be no correlation with adapter
125rev level, number of ports used etc. and whether a
126machine will get these
127.Dq bogus powerfails .
128They don't seem to cause any real problems so they have
129been ignored.
