MySQL errors on Netra-440: "IPC Warning: ipc: tcp_protocol: bad magic number"

I was asked to look into a problem with a Sun Netra 440 in another department. On the server in question, the relevant 'uname -a' information is, "SunOS host1 5.9 Generic_118558-16 sun4u sparc SUNW,Netra-440". That information aside, while the other admin is logged into the ALOM, these errors are scrolling steadily across the console:

IPC Warning: ipc: tcp_protocol: bad magic number
IPC Warning: ipc: tcp_protocol: bad magic number
IPC Warning: ipc: tcp_protocol: bad magic number
IPC Warning: ipc: tcp_protocol: bad magic number
IPC Warning: ipc: tcp_protocol: bad magic number
IPC Warning: ipc: tcp_protocol: bad magic number


I have not seen "bad magic number" messages associated with "ipc: tcp_protocol" before. Has anyone encountered and/or fixed such errors before or can anyone direct me to documentation describing IPC Warning messages on the ALOM level?

Thanks in advance for any assistance with this.

NAME
tsalarm - Alarm device driver SYNOPSIS
tsalarm@0:ctl DESCRIPTION
The tsalarm driver is a Multi-threaded, loadable non-STREAMS pseudo driver that manages ALOM alarms. The tsalarm driver provides an inter- face through which alarm relays can be controlled on SUNW,Netra-240 and SUNW,Netra-440 platforms. HARDWARE INTERFACE
The alarm hardware differs depending on platform. The Netra 240 and 440 platforms features four dry contact alarm relays which are controlled by ALOM. You can set each alarm to "on" or "off" by using ioctl interfaces provided from the host. The four alarms are labeled as "critical," "major," "minor," and "user." The user alarm is set by a user application depending on system condition. LED's in front of the box provide a visual indication of the four alarms. The number of alarms and their meanings/labels may vary across platforms. IOCTLS
The interface provided by the tsalarm driver comprises ioctls that enable applications to manipulate the alarm module. The alarm module is accessed via two device nodes: i) /dev/lom and /dev/tsalarm:ctl. The following ioctls are supported by the /dev/lom and /dev/tsalarm:ctl devices: TSIOCALCTL - Turn an alarm on or off. The argument is a pointer to the ts_aldata_t/lom_aldata_t structure. This structure is described below. alarm_no member is an integer which specifies the alarm to which the command is to be applied. The alarm_state/state structure member indicates the state to which the alarm should be set (where 0 == off). An error (EINVAL) is returned if either an invalid alarm_no or invalid alarm_state is pro- vided. TSIOCALSTATE - Get the state of the alarms. The argument is a pointer to the ts_aldata_t/lom_aldata_t structure. This structure is described below. alarm_no member is an integer which indicates the alarm to which the command will be applied. The alarm_state member holds the alarm's current state and is filled in by the driver. A zero indicates that the alarm is off. An error (EINVAL) is returned if an invalid alarm_no is provided. The struc- tures and definitions for the values are defined below. Alarm values: The following old style values are defined in <lom.io.h> #define ALARM_NUM_0 0 /* number of zero'th alarm */ #define ALARM_NUM_1 1 /* number of first alarm */ #define ALARM_NUM_2 2 /* number of second alarm */ #define ALARM_NUM_3 3 /* number of third alarm */ Alarm values defined in <lom.io.h> #define ALARM_OFF 0 /* Turn off alarm */ #define ALARM_ON 1 /* Turn on alarm */ Alarm Data Structure: This structure is defined in <lom.io.h> typedef struct { int alarm_no; /* alarm to apply command to */ int alarm_state; /* state of alarm (0 == off) */ } ts_aldata_t; Use the following LOM interfaces to get and set the alarms. These definitions are included in <lom_io.h> #define ALARM_CRITICAL 0 /* number of critical alarm */ #define ALARM_MAJOR 1 /* number of major alarm */ #define ALARM_MINOR 2 /* number of minor alarm */ #define ALARM_USER 3 /* number of user alarm */ The following alarm data structure is provided in <lom_io.h>: typedef struct { int alarm_no; int state; } lom_aldata_t; ERRORS
An open() will fail if: ENXIO The driver is not installed in the system. An ioctl() will fail if: EFAULT There was a hardware failure during the specified operation. EINVAL The alarm number specified is not valid or an invalid value was supplied. ENXIO The driver is not installed in the system or the monitor callback routine could not be scheduled. EXAMPLES
How to set an alarm: #include <sys/unistd.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <lom_io.h> #define LOM_DEVICE "/dev/lom" int main() { lom_aldata_t lld; int fd = open(LOM_DEVICE, O_RDWR); if (fd == -1) { printf("Error opening device: %s0, LOM_DEVICE); exit(1); } lld.alarm_no = ALARM_CRITICAL; /* Set the critical alarm */ lld.state = ALARM_ON; /* Set the alarm */ if (ioctl(fd, LOMIOCALCTL, (char *)&lld) != 0) printf("Setting alarm failed"); else printf("Alarm set successfully"); close(fd); } FILES
