Feature Interactions
test
hardware-group
Only test hardware-group can be active at any given time.
TTI
If test hardware-group all-ports is issued when the TTI
background task is active, some unadministered ports may not
be tested, and active alarms on line ports may be cleared. The
status tti command can be used to determine the state of the
TTI background task.
Add Station
If add station is entered for an untranslated port at the same
time as it is being tested as part of test hardware-group
all-ports, the error message,
Object in use; please try later
appears and the request fails.
Trunk
administration
If an attempt is made to add an unadministered trunk port to a
trunk group at the same time as it is being tested with test
hardware-group all-ports, the error message,
Object in use;
please try later
appears and the request fails.
Save translation
If test hardware-group all-ports is run and save translations is
active, some unadministered ports may not be tested. All other
hardware will be tested normally.
Hardware alarms
When a hardware error is detected by test hardware-group, the
hardware goes through the standard escalation strategy. Alarms
are raised on hardware that manifest “hard” errors. This alarming
strategy is the same whether the ports are translated or not.
System interaction
The performance of test hardware-group is affected by call
processing traffic, administration activity, choice of the short or
long option, whether the all-ports option is chosen, whether the
spe-interchange option is chosen, and other demand
maintenance activity.
Scheduled and
periodic
maintenance
While executing test hardware-group, all scheduled
background maintenance, periodic background maintenance,
and data audits activity is suspended until the command
completes. When test hardware-group is canceled or
completes, all suspended periodic, scheduled, and data audits
background maintenance activity restarts where it left off.
