Can you give a little more information on exactly what you are looking for? What code errors are you referring to?

You might mean /usr/include/sys/errno.h ?

Error messages and codes come from many, many different sources. The processor can display error messages long before HP-UX is started, and there are several logs in HP-UX, each with different error messages and codes. There is no central source to explain error messages. Many command have man pages with some (not all) error messages. There are a couple of resources:

- Post the error message(s) here in the Forums and many people will help you decode the meaning.

- Look in the ITRC knowledge base and also at http://docs.hp.com

Susan,
what kind of error codes are you looking for?

Maybe it can be interesting:

http://www.emulex.com/ts/docfc/hpux/42004/error.htm

But if you give more precise indication we can search better...

Try also "man errno" to view specific hpux error descriptions.

su: + tty?? messages are not actual error messages. They are just for information only messages telling you that there was a successful execution of su command. if there are excessive "su : -" messages, then you have to investigate if someone is trying to hack into a privileged account.

cmcld is the cluster manager deamon. If your server is a member of a serviceguard cluster, cmcld deamon runs in the background, handling cluster related requests. If these messages are getting logged very often, it is a time to look into the source by examining the cluster formation on your system and other cluster member(s), their common disk areas and network connectivity. This is a general advice. For more details, more data is definitely needed.

Hope this helps

Susan,

As Mel mentioned cmcld deamon is HP clustering SG deamon probably you have cluster between 2 of your nodes;
#ps -ef|grep -i cmcld
must return something like;

root 3124 3103 0 Aug 23 ? 41:11 /usr/lbin/cmcld -m -n your_host_name

so this shows your active node(your_host_name)
On the other hand;
Could you please run and post output below;
#cmviewcl

Good Luck,
