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.  The interface will not transmit or receive
56packets until the network number is known.
57.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
58.Bl -diag
59.It "hy%d: unit number 0x%x port %d type %x microcode level 0x%x."
60Identifies the device during autoconfiguration.
61.Pp
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.Pp
67.It hy%d: can't initialize.
68The interface was unable to allocate
69.Tn UNIBUS
70resources. This
71is usually due to having too many network devices on an 11/750
72where there are only 3 buffered data paths.
73.Pp
74.It hy%d: NEX - Non Existent Memory.
75Non existent memory error returned from hardware.
76.Pp
77.It hy%d:  BAR overflow.
78Bus address register
79overflow error returned from hardware.
80.Pp
81.It hy%d: Power Off bit set, trying to reset.
82Adapter has lost power, driver will reset the bit
83and see if power is still out in the adapter.
84.Pp
85.It hy%d: Power Off Error, network shutdown.
86Power was really off in the adapter, network
87connections are dropped.
88Software does not shut down the network unless
89power has been off for a while.
90.Pp
91.It hy%d: RECVD MP \*[Gt] MPSIZE (%d).
92A message proper was received that is too big.
93Probable a driver bug.
94Shouldn't happen.
95.Pp
96.It "hy%d: xmit error \- len \*[Gt] hy_olen [%d \*[Gt] %d]."
97Probable driver error.
98Shouldn't happen.
99.Pp
100.It hy%d: DRIVER BUG \- INVALID STATE %d.
101The driver state machine reached a non-existent state.
102Definite driver bug.
103.Pp
104.It hy%d: watchdog timer expired.
105A command in the adapter has taken too long to complete.
106Driver will abort and retry the command.
107.Pp
108.It hy%d: adapter power restored.
109Software was able to reset the power off bit,
110indicating that the power has been restored.

115.Sh HISTORY
116The
117.Nm
118interface appeared in
119.Bx 4.2 .
120.Sh BUGS
121If the adapter does not respond to the status command
122issued during autoconfigure, the adapter is assumed down.
123A reboot is required to recognize it.
124.Pp
125The adapter power fail interrupt seems to occur
126sporadically when power has, in fact, not failed.
127The driver will believe that power has failed
128only if it can not reset the power fail latch after
129a
130.Dq reasonable
131time interval.
132These seem to appear about 2-4 times a day on some machines.
133There seems to be no correlation with adapter
134rev level, number of ports used etc. and whether a
135machine will get these
136.Dq bogus powerfails .
137They don't seem to cause any real problems so they have
138been ignored.
