What is a BPX SW Error 2051?

[d.kalcher]

Hi all,

Does anyone know what a SW error 2051 is on the BPX and what causes one to occur? I have pasted the SW error snapshot below if you can also decode it!

Also if anyone has a listing of other BPX errors, which identifies the catalyst and the recommended action to follow, I would be ever so interested to see. Personally I have a few descriptions on some of the SW errors but I have no means of decoding them...

Regards, DK.

This is what I found -

Software error 2051 was logged, but not every file collection. The separation of the swerrs may be days or weeks. There may not be any statistics activity at the time the files were logged (no statistics enabled or disabled, and no objects (connections, lines, trunks, ports, or physical lines) added or deleted.

The dspstatfiles screen shows files with write errors. The files with write errors show a "File Length" equal to "Data Length". The file is full and additional statistics can not be written into the file.

Conditions:

Observed in two networks, with software releases 9.2.33 and 9.2.36. There may not be any statistics activity, but there are probably a large number of statistics enabled per object. There may also be multiple buckets for a stat in each TFTP statistics file (the bucket interval is less than the file interval, as displayed on dspstatparms).

Workaround:

This problem is due to a bucket index wraparound calculation error. Two statistics characteristics will increase the probability of the wraparound error causing a swerr 2051 to be logged:1. There are many statistics enabled per object. The size of the wraparound error is multiplied by the number of statistics enabled for the object. Thus the more statistics enabled per object the greater the probability that the error will result in a TFTP file overflow. 2. The configured bucket interval is less than the configured file interval. The greater the number of buckets per statistic the greater the probability of the wraparound error.

Reducing the statistics enabled per object and the number of buckets per TFTP statistics file will reduce the probability of the file overflow.
