VP (Voice Platform) alarms

This topic provides information about the alarms generated by the VP application, which indicate a voice platform problem.

Customer-resolvable alarms

The following alarms can be resolved by the system administrator:

VP CGEN 3

Description:

An internal process cannot communicate with other internal processes. System functionality is severely impaired.

Repair Procedure:

VP CGEN 28

Description:

A call to a third-party API failed.

Repair Procedure:
  1. Stop the messaging software (voice system).
  2. Start the messaging software (voice system).
  3. If the alarm remains active, contact your remote support center.

VP CPUPERF 2

Description:

The CPU is overworked. There is insufficient idle time.

Repair Procedure:
  • To repair the problem either:
    • Decrease system usage.
    • Increase system capacity.

VP RAID1

Description:

A disk drive in a RAID array has failed.

Repair procedure:

Identify and replace the failed drive as follows:

  1. Use the Disk Diagnostics page to identify which drive has failed. See Retrieving hard disk drive information.
  2. Replace the appropriate failed drive. See Replacing a SCSI RAID drive.

 

VP TRIP 5

Description:

The channel indicated into the message lost loop current. If loop current is lost during a telephone call, the call will be terminated, and the system will remove the channel from service. The system will automatically return the channel to service when the loop current returns.

Repair Procedure:
  1. Make sure the line is plugged in the channel indicated and appropriate switch connections are made.
  2. Examine the line cord for damages. Replace the cord if it is damaged.
  3. Plug the line into a telephone set and make sure it works. Use the following steps to test the line:
    1. Check the telephone for a dial tone. Most switches provide a dial tone.
    2. Dial the number of the test telephone from another telephone. Make sure it rings and the connection is established.
    3. Dial another number from the test line. Make sure the connection is established.
    4. If these tests do not pass, consult your network or switch administrator for help.
      If these tests pass, plug a known working line into the channel indicated. The system must place the channel in service automatically. If the alarm fails to resolve, contact your remote support center.

If you receive the following alarms, contact your remote support center.

ID Description
VP CGEN 2

The system cannot access a system table, possibly because of corruption. System functionality is severely impaired.

VP CGEN 4 The system failed to receive a message because an internal process cannot communicate with other internal processes. System functionality is severely impaired.
VP CGEN 5 The system cannot communicate with a process. System functionality is severely impaired.
VP CGEN 6 The system failed to start up properly. System functionality is severely impaired.
VP CGEN 7 The system failed to allocate memory internally for data. System functionality is severely impaired.
VP CGEN 8 Cannot access analog port boards. The cards are unusable. The system is unable to answer or process telephone calls.
VP CGEN 11 The system failed to perform the indicated function on a voice channel or an analog port board. System functionality is severely impaired.
VP CGEN 12 The system failed to perform the indicated function on a voice channel or an analog port board. Card functionality is impaired.
VP CGEN 17 The system failed to save circuit card configuration changes. The system will lose shared memory updates during a restart or a reboot. Call processing will probably not be affected until a reboot or a restart.
VP CGEN 18 The system detected a hardware failure on a voice channel or an analog port board. Card functionality is impaired.
VP CGEN 21 An internal software error occurred when the system was identifying channel characteristics during a restart or a reboot. After the reboot or the restart, a channel is unusable.
VP CGEN 22 The system failed to reset the restriction list for a channel. System functionality could be impaired if applications are assigning resource restrictions to channels.
VP CGEN 25 A service registration file has a bad format or is the wrong version. The service corresponding to this registration file might be started incorrectly. If the service is not started correctly, it will not function properly.
VP CGEN 27 The system could not open a file.
VP CGEN 31 The system detected an error in describing groups to the Resource Manager. Applications that are using the equipment group might not function correctly.
VP CGEN 32 The system is unable to read the function resource characteristics.
VP CGEN 34 The system failed to perform an action on a file.
VP CGEN 37 The system experienced difficulty while it was enabling a feature license. The text-to-speech feature is not available. Other features on the system already enabled will not be affected.
VP CGEN 38 The system experienced difficulty while it was enabling a feature license. The text-to-speech feature is not available. Other features on the system already enabled will not be affected.
VP CGEN 39 The system experienced failure while it was enabling a feature license. The text-to-speech feature is not available. Other features on the system already enabled will not be affected.
VP CHRIN 1 The system detected an error while it was describing channel characteristics to the Resource Manager. System functionality is severely impaired.
VP CPUPERF 4 The system is using too much kernel memory (kmem).
VP CRON 2 A system process has been operating for over 24 hours.
VP DSKMG 1 The indicated file cannot be accessed. Applications that need to reserve speech files could fail.
VP DSKMG 2 An application cannot be reserved by a file. Applications that need to record to the file will be incomplete.
VP INIT 1 The system configuration from the previous operation is completely lost, so the system is using default values. Services must be reassigned to channels, the channels placed into service, and circuit card functionality specified for the system to operate under any configuration other than the default settings. The system might not process telephone calls until after the system is readministered.
VP INIT 5 The system cannot save configuration data to the hard disk. If the voice system is stopped and started, some or all of the voice system's administered values could be lost, and system functionality will be severely impaired.
VP INIT 6 The system is having trouble with determining the identity of an analog port board. The card is not operational. Call processing could be impaired.
VP MTC 1 A card is unable to provide TDM clock to the system, and the card state has changed to BROKEN. This alarm can indicate a possible hardware problem with the card. Applications dependent on this card will not function.
VP MTC 7 An internal software error occurred during a request for a resource or a release. The system could not process the request, and a card or channel might not be available.
VP MTC 9 An internal software error occurred while the system was attempting to download firmware to a circuit card.
VP MTC 10 TDM diagnostics failed one or more diagnostics tests. One or more circuit cards might be in the BROKEN state and unable to function. Applications dependent on the card will not function.
VP MTC 13 One of the circuit cards is in the BROKEN state because it is not receiving clock. The system will not be able to use the circuit card in the BROKEN state.
VP SF_VXMDI 2 The system experienced an abnormal termination of a Message Networking FAX Messaging process. The fax transmission that was occurring at that time failed.
VP SF_VXMDI 3 The system experienced an illegal transition. The fax transmission that was occurring at that time failed.
VP SF_VXMDI 4 The system experienced an internal assertion failure. The fax transmission that was occurring at that time failed.
VP SF_VXMDI 5 A driver call failed. The fax transmission that was occurring at that time failed.
VP SOFTWARE 15 The system detected an invalid value or a nonexistent overhead file. The system will use the default overhead values, which can adversely affect performance. If the default overhead values are acceptable, system operations will not be affected.
VP THR 2 The system exceeded the minor threshold level for messages. This alarm typically indicates that too many messages of a particular type are being generated.
VP THR 3 The system exceeded the minor threshold level for messages. This alarm typically indicates that too many messages of a particular type are being generated.
VP THR 4 The system exceeded the major threshold level for messages. This alarm typically indicates that too many messages of a particular type are being generated.
VP TRIP 1 The system is unable to communicate with the analog port boards. The system is unable to process telephone calls on the channels.
VP TRIP 3 The system received excessive simultaneous signals from the network. The voice system is unable to process calls on the analog port boards possibly due to network or PBX administration. Some network or PBX parameters, such as howler tone, might need to be tuned differently. PBXs generate howler tone if a channel is off hook for a certain amount of time. A howler tone can consist of a series of touchtones, including * and #. Each of these touchtones results in a separate event in the channels. The rate at which these events are generated could be beyond what the system can handle.
VP TRIP 4 The system detected a speech break during a voice coding or playback session. The impact of this error is not severe, and no action is needed if the message is reported less frequently than the threshold limit.

The impact could be significant if this message occurs more than the currently set threshold limit.

VP UNIX 3 The operating system kernel detected an error, and the system software placed a copy of the message into the log. The type of error present will determine the impact on the system. These errors might not cause the system to stop (panic), but they usually indicate that system functionality is impaired.
VP UNIX 4 The operating system kernel detected an error, and the system software placed a copy of the message into the log. The type of error present will determine the impact on the system.
VP UNIX 5 The operating system kernel detected an error, and the system software placed a copy of the message into the log. The type of error present will determine the impact on the system.
VP UNIX 6 The operating system kernel detected an error, and the system software placed a copy of the message into the log. The type of error present will determine the impact on the system.
VP VCHKOANM 02 More than 90 percent of purchased voice hours are used.
VP VROP 2 The system cannot record or add a phrase. Phrases already recorded will continue to play properly.
VP VROP 4 A voice function might have failed, and the system canceled the request. Callers affected by the error will hear nothing. The system will not disconnect the call until the caller disconnects. Each time this failure occurs, the system will generate one message.
VP VROP 5 Erroneous speech playback or coding might have occurred. The speech that was heard or recorded might have been terminated prematurely or been replaced with other speech. Subsequent speech coding or playback could also be affected until the system is restarted.
VP VROP 6 The system is unable to read a speech configuration file or the file has an invalid or duplicate entry. The system will use default values for nonexistent entries until the problem is corrected. However, the default numbers could be unsatisfactory and could cause load or performance problems.
VP VROP 7 Phrase creation failed because of insufficient space in the speech file systems. This condition had an impact on administrative commands or caused the message recording to fail. Additional similar attempts will also fail.
VP VROP 8 An initialization failure occurred.
VP VROP 10 A failure occurred while the system was performing an action on a phrase. The system aborted the action. This alarm could be caused by an excessive voice activity load.
VP VROP 11 The system has insufficient speech buffers for the number of channels in use. Each time this alarm occurs, an action failed.
VP VROP 12 An attempt to add a new phrase to the speech file system failed because the phrase limit was exceeded. This condition could have had an impact on administrative commands or caused message recording to fail. Other attempts will also fail.
VP VROP 14 The system failed to access the speech file indicated. Applications that need access to this file will be incomplete.
VP VROP 15 The system was attempting to copy or add a phrase to the speech file system, and the attempt failed. This failure usually occurs during backups or restores.
VP VROP 18 The system has failed to play or record messages. This is likely to continue to occur until the problem is resolved.
VP VROP 19 A time-out failure occurred while the system was performing an action on a phrase, and the system aborted the action. This alarm could be caused by excessive load on the system or a problem with an analog port board.
VP VROP 20 A VROP application error occurred.
VP VROP 22 The system could not reserve a file. Applications that need to record to the file will be incomplete.
VP VOICE_PORT 1 More than 25 percent of the system's channels are not operational.
