string

"S"
save: SYSTEM error, Arg list too long
Cause
save fails with the error. The cause of this error is that the data base (index) file for
the client is greater than 2 Gbytes. With Solaris 2.6 and SBU 5.0.1 this is no longer a
problem.
Action
However, with earlier versions of Solaris you need to bring up nwadmin -> indexes
-> select appropriate client -> select appropriate fs -> remove oldes cycle -> reclaim
space.
This may have to be repeated a few times to reclaim enough space. The indexes can
be recreated later if necessary by using scanner.
SCSI bus DATA IN phase parity error
Cause
The most common cause of this problem is unapproved hardware. Some SCSI
devices for the PC market do not meet the high I/O speed requirements for the
UNIX market. Other possible causes of this problem are improper cabling or
termination, and power fluctuations. Data corruption is possible but unlikely to
occur, because this parity error prevents data transfer.
Action
Check that all SCSI devices on the bus are Sun-approved hardware. Then verify that
all cables measure no longer than six meters, total, and that all SCSI connections are
properly terminated. If power fluctuations are occurring, invest in an uninterruptible
power supply.
