Message

Description and Recommended action

LLT INFO V-14-1-10205
link 1 (link_name) node 1 in trouble

This message implies that LLT did not receive any heartbeats on the indicated link from the indicated peer node for LLT peertrouble time. The default LLT peertrouble time is 2s for hipri links and 4s for lo-pri links.

Recommended action: If these messages sporadically appear in the syslog, you can ignore them. If these messages flood the syslog, then perform one of the following:

  • Increase the peertrouble time to a higher value (but significantly lower than the peerinact value). Run the following command:

    lltconfig -T peertrouble:<value>
    for hipri link
    lltconfig -T peertroublelo:<value> 
    for lopri links.

    See the lltconfig(1m) manual page for details.

  • Replace the LLT link.

    See Adding and removing LLT links.

LLT INFO V-14-1-10024
link 0 (link_name) node 1 active

This message implies that LLT started seeing heartbeats on this link from that node.

Recommended action: No action is required. This message is informational.

LLT INFO V-14-1-10032
link 1 (link_name) node 1 inactive 5
sec (510)

This message implies that LLT did not receive any heartbeats on the indicated link from the indicated peer node for the indicated amount of time.

If the peer node has not actually gone down, check for the following:

  • Check if the link has got physically disconnected from the system or switch.

  • Check for the link health and replace the link if necessary.

See Adding and removing LLT links.

(link_name) node 1 inactive 7 sec
(510)
LLT INFO V-14-1-10509 link 1
(link_name) node 1 expired

This message implies that LLT did not receive any heartbeats on the indicated link from the indicated peer node for more than LLT peerinact time. LLT attempts to request heartbeat mechanism (sends 5 hbreqs to the peer node) and if the peer node does not respond, LLT marks this link as "expired" for that peer node.

Recommended action: If the peer node has not actually gone down, check for the following:

  • Check if the link has got physically disconnected from the system or switch.

  • Check for the link health and replace the link if necessary.

See Adding and removing LLT links.

LLT INFO V-14-1-10499 recvarpreq
link 0 for node 1 addr change from
00:00:00:00:00:00 to
00:18:8B:E4:DE:27

This message is logged when LLT learns the peer node's address.

Recommended action: No action is required. This message is informational.

On local node that detects the link failure:

LLT INFO V-14-1-10519 link 0 down
LLT INFO V-14-1-10585 local link 0 down 
for 1 sec

LLT INFO V-14-1-10586 send linkdown_ntf 
on link 1 for local link 0
LLT INFO V-14-1-10590 recv linkdown_ack 
from node 1 on link 1 for local link 0
LLT INFO V-14-1-10592 received ack from 
all the connected nodes

On peer nodes:

LLT INFO V-14-1-10589 recv 
linkdown_ntf from node 0 on link 1 
for peer link 0
LLT INFO V-14-1-10587 send linkdown_ack 
to node 0 on link 1 for peer link 0

These messages are printed when you have enabled LLT to detect faster failure of links. When a link fails or is disconnected from a node (cable pull, switch failure, and so on), LLT on the local node detects this event and propagates this information to all the peer nodes over the LLT hidden link. LLT marks this link as disconnected when LLT on the local node receives the acknowledgment from all the nodes.
