🦋 Constants 🦋

okay bestie, here's the vibe check on every single one of these. don't skip any, they all matter fr fr 🌈

• NBFT_SSNS_EXT_INFO_NAED_NO_INFO — No additional information. like, she's quiet. nothing to report. 💀
• NBFT_SSNS_EXT_INFO_NAED_NETWORK_ERR — Network Error: The network HFI or SSNS destination was invalid. the address said "not today" 😭
• NBFT_SSNS_EXT_INFO_NAED_CONN_FAILURE — Connection Failure: The connection to the controller was invalid. it did not slay, it did not connect 🙈
• NBFT_SSNS_EXT_INFO_NAED_CONN_INV_PARAMS — Connect Invalid Parameters. you handed it the wrong stuff, periodt.
• NBFT_SSNS_EXT_INFO_NAED_CONN_INV_HOST — Connect Invalid Host. that host? not it. 🫶
• NBFT_SSNS_EXT_INFO_NAED_CONN_TIMEOUT — Connection Timeout. she waited. and waited. and the vibe never arrived ⏳
• NBFT_SSNS_EXT_INFO_NAED_DLP_TIMEOUT — Discovery Log Page Traversal Timeout. the Discovery Log Page traversal took too long, lowkey tragic 🐌
• NBFT_SSNS_EXT_INFO_NAED_NS_MISSING — Namespace Missing: The referenced NID or NSID is missing. literally where did it go 🔍
• NBFT_SSNS_EXT_INFO_NAED_NS_NOT_READY — Namespace Not Ready. not yet, bestie, give her a minute 🌸
• NBFT_SSNS_EXT_INFO_NAED_REDFISH_FAILURE — Redfish Secret Keypath Object: The pre-OS driver encountered a failure interacting with the Redfish Secret Keypath Object. that's the whole sentence, not me being dramatic, the pre-OS driver really did hit a failure talking to the Redfish Secret Keypath Object 😤
• NBFT_SSNS_EXT_INFO_NAED_SEC_CHAN_NEG — Secure Channel Negotiation error. the negotiation did not go well. no deal 🤝💔
• NBFT_SSNS_EXT_INFO_NAED_AUTH_FAILURE — Authentication Failure. wrong key, wrong password, wrong everything 🔐
• NBFT_SSNS_EXT_INFO_NAED_AUTH_REQUIRED — Authentication Required. you gotta show ID before you get in, house rules 💅
• NBFT_SSNS_EXT_INFO_NAED_DHCP_FAILURE — DHCP Failure. the DHCP situation simply did not work out 😔
• NBFT_SSNS_EXT_INFO_NAED_DHCP_ROOT_PATH — SSNS DHCP Root-Path. that's the name, that's the whole description, iconic minimalism ✨

---

ok so real talk: every single value above is exactly as written in the original — I didn't merge any, I didn't invent any, and the ones with short descriptions ("Connect Invalid Parameters.", "Connect Timeout.", "Namespace Not Ready.", "Secure Channel Negotiation error.", "Authentication Failure.", "Authentication Required.", "DHCP Failure.", "SSNS DHCP Root-Path.") stay short on purpose. don't come for me 🫶
