System Technician-Demanded Tests
The following commands can be used to test and manipulate part or all of the
standby SPE:
■
busyout spe-standby
The busyout spe-standby command is used to stop all standby
maintenance activity, disable shadowing, and hold the standby processor
reset. A warning off circuit pack alarm is also raised against STBY-SPE
MO. This command is more powerful than the refresh spe-standby
command because it preempts the standby and enters maintenance mode,
where as the refresh spe-standby does not do this.
■
release spe-standby
The release spe-standby command is used to remove the busyout
condition, restore memory shadowing, and force a refresh. 1 minute after
the command is executed, the equivalent of standby scheduled
maintenance is run.
■
refresh spe-standby
The refresh spe-standby command is used to put the Standby SPE
immediately into Standby Mode. The command conducts the same
activities regardless of whether the Standby SPE is already in Standby
Mode or whether it is in Maintenance Mode. Whenever this command is
issued, any Standby SPE maintenance activity currently in progress
(except for entering maintenance mode) is preempted, the Standby SPE
Processor is held reset, and the Standby SPE’s memory is refreshed.
Recall that the refresh is necessary because, while the Standby SPE is in
Maintenance Mode, memory shadowing is disabled. When the Standby
SPE is returned to Standby Mode, its memory must be brought up-to-date
with Active SPE memory.
Because they can preempt Standby SPE maintenance activities, the
refresh spe-standby and busyout spe-standby commands should be
used judiciously. If the Standby SPE is in Maintenance Mode when one of
these commands is issued, the current maintenance activity being
conducted by the Standby SPE is immediately terminated with the
following potential side-effects:
■
Testing of the Standby SPE components that are the target of the
maintenance activity may not have completed. Depending on the
maintenance activity and the point at which such activity is
terminated, tests that detect faults and/or lack of faults on those
Standby SPE components may not have had the opportunity to run.
Accordingly, alarms will not be raised or retired on the components.
