System Backup
System translations can be restored by using the data on the system or on the
backup translation card if the length of power failure is appropriate for the
corresponding system.
Table 5-2 lists the requirements:
Save Translation
To ensure that the translation card contains the most recent copy of the translation
data, the system can automatically save the translation data onto the translation
card every 24 hours. Automatic daily backup of the system translation data is
controlled by an entry in the system parameters that defaults to “daily”.
If many translation data changes are made, it is recommended that you save the
translation data using save translation. This action saves the new changes to the
translation card without having to wait for the next automatic daily translation
backup.
NOTE:
The save translation command blocks all maintenance commands except
some list, display, monitor, and status commands.
The system blocks the execution of any commands that change translations or
trigger a maintenance action (for example, test board, busyout port, and so
forth). The status card-mem command is blocked during save translation.
In a high or critical reliability system, if save translation is entered without a
qualifier, an attempt is made to save the translations on both the Active and
Standby SPE. If the command is qualified with either “spe-active” or
“spe-standby,” the translations are saved only on the specified SPE. For example,
when the save translation command was used, the translations were
successfully saved on the active SPE’s translation card, but were not successfully
saved on the standby SPE’s translation card, use save translation spe-standby
to save the translations on the standby SPE as well.
