SYSTCPSM NMI initialization failed on cc______ with codes:
Function= cc______ retc=xx______ errno=xx______ errnojr=xx______
This message indicates that the VIP agent has failed to connect with the IBM Network Management API (NM API). A VIP agent terminates if the NM API’s SYSTCPSM interface is not enabled. The return code in the message indicates the problem more precisely.
For example, 0x0000006F = EACCES = permission denied probably means the site does not authorize — via RACF, ACF2, TOPSEC, etc. — the VIP agent’s user ID to access the portion of the NM API named in the message. The agent’s user ID must have authority to access the NM API resources in the SERVAUTH class or, if SERVAUTH is not enabled, the agent’s user ID must have super-user privileges.
For another example, 0x00000081 = ENOENT = No such file, directory, or IPC member exists probably means the system has not enabled the portion of the NM API named in the message.
To verify that the SMFSRV and TCPCNNSRV NMIs are enabled, issue the command:
D TCPIP,,NETSTAT,CONFIG
It will return results like the following:
NETWORK MONITOR CONFIGURATION INFORMATION:
PKTTRCSRV: YES TCPCNNSRV: YES MINLIFTIM: 3 NTASRV: YES
SMFSRV: YES
If message 0158 ends with errnojr=0xnnnn006C (JRFileNotThere), look for EZZ4247I messages logged by the TCPIP stack, in particular at stack initialization. For example:
EZZ4247I FUNCTION BIND FAILED FOR SYSTCPSM UNKNOWN, RC = 00000085, RSN = 5B450110
The IBM manual USS Messages and Codes describes RC = 00000085, RSN = 5B450110 as follows:
133 (decimal) 0085 (hex) = ENOSPC
No space is left on the device, or no space is available to create the IPC member ID.
5B45 indicates the requested module to be created.
X'0110' = RSN_GCRE_Reserved_Space_Low
There are not enough free pages to carry out this call.
Probable cause: The HFS is near full.
Action: Extend the HFS. Send the problem to IBM Support if the HFS is not near full.
Check the available space for the /var/sock directory.
If it is near or out of space, take action to free up space in the directory to free up space.
