11.Sh NAME
12.Nm hy
13.Nd Network Systems Hyperchannel interface
14.Sh SYNOPSIS
15.Cd "device hy0 at uba0 csr 0172410 vector hyint"
16.Sh DESCRIPTION
17The
18.Nm hy
19interface provides access to a Network
20Systems Corporation Hyperchannel Adapter.
21.Pp
22The network to which the interface is attached
23is specified at boot time with an
24.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
25.Xr ioctl 2 .
26The host's address is discovered by reading the adapter status
27register.  The interface will not transmit or receive
28packets until the network number is known.
29.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
30.Bl -diag
31.It "hy%d: unit number 0x%x port %d type %x microcode level 0x%x."
32Identifies the device during autoconfiguration.
33.Pp
34.It hy%d: can't handle af%d.
35The interface was handed
36a message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address
37family; the packet was dropped.
38.Pp
39.It hy%d: can't initialize.
40The interface was unable to allocate
41.Tn UNIBUS
42resources. This
43is usually due to having too many network devices on an 11/750
44where there are only 3 buffered data paths.
45.Pp
46.It hy%d: NEX - Non Existent Memory.
47Non existent memory error returned from hardware.
48.Pp
49.It hy%d:  BAR overflow.
50Bus address register
51overflow error returned from hardware.
52.Pp
53.It hy%d: Power Off bit set, trying to reset.
54Adapter has lost power, driver will reset the bit
55and see if power is still out in the adapter.
56.Pp
57.It hy%d: Power Off Error, network shutdown.
58Power was really off in the adapter, network
59connections are dropped.
60Software does not shut down the network unless
61power has been off for a while.
62.Pp
63.It hy%d: RECVD MP > MPSIZE (%d).
64A message proper was received that is too big.
65Probable a driver bug.
66Shouldn't happen.
67.Pp
68.It "hy%d: xmit error \- len > hy_olen [%d > %d]."
69Probable driver error.
70Shouldn't happen.
71.Pp
72.It hy%d: DRIVER BUG \- INVALID STATE %d.
73The driver state machine reached a non-existent state.
74Definite driver bug.
75.Pp
76.It hy%d: watchdog timer expired.
77A command in the adapter has taken too long to complete.
78Driver will abort and retry the command.
79.Pp
80.It hy%d: adapter power restored.
81Software was able to reset the power off bit,
82indicating that the power has been restored.

87.Sh HISTORY
88The
89.Nm
90interface appeared in
91.Bx 4.2 .
92.Sh BUGS
93If the adapter does not respond to the status command
94issued during autoconfigure, the adapter is assumed down.
95A reboot is required to recognize it.
96.Pp
97The adapter power fail interrupt seems to occur
98sporadically when power has, in fact, not failed.
99The driver will believe that power has failed
100only if it can not reset the power fail latch after
101a
102.Dq reasonable
103time interval.
104These seem to appear about 2-4 times a day on some machines.
105There seems to be no correlation with adapter
106rev level, number of ports used etc. and whether a
107machine will get these
108.Dq bogus powerfails .
109They don't seem to cause any real problems so they have
110been ignored.
