STBY-SPE (Standby SPE)

■
reset system-interchange <health-override>
If the health-override option is NOT specified, and if the standby Fault
Severity Level (FSL) is less than or equal to that of the active SPE, and if
the standby SPE is in standby mode, the interchange is allowed. Actually, if
the standby FSL is less than that of the active FSL, the system does its
own interchange in due time. If the FSL of the standby SPE is higher than
that of the active SPE, but the alarmed standby maintenance objects do
not affect the ability of the standby SPE to be put into standby mode, the
command is rejected. This indicates that the health-override option can be
used. If there are problems that would prevent the standby SPE from
running system software, the command is rejected outright.
If the health-override option is specified, and if the standby SPE is in
standby mode, a Hot interchange is performed, regardless of the FSL level
of the two SPEs. Once the interchange is performed, if the new active FSL
is higher than the standby FSL, a STBY-SPE warning alarm is raised
against the new standby SPE. This indicates that the system was forced to
switch SPEs and is currently being held on the active SPE artificially. This
prevents a SPE interchange back to the original active SPE. This
STBY-SPE warning alarm lasts for one hour. After this time passes, system
switches to the SPE with the lowest FSL.
The STBY-SPE alarm is also retired if there is some indication of system
technician testing of the standby SPE before the one hour expires. The
assumption here is that a system technician person is present because the
health-override option was used. Therefore, if there is some indication that
repair work is going on, the alarm generated by the health-override should
be retired. The following are indications of system technician testing being
done: the standby SPE is busied out and then released, the active SPE is
hard selected via the switches, or a test spe-standby long command is
performed.
■
test processor [1] a|b [short | long]
Runs the same set of tests on the standby SPE as on the Active SPE.
Refer to the PROCR-BD and PR-MAINT sections for a complete list of the
tests that are run.
■
test memory [1] a|b [short | long]
For this command, there is one additional test for the Standby SPE
Memory circuit pack: the Memory Functional Test #332. Refer to the
MEM-BD section for a complete list of the tests that are run.
■
test data-module <extension>
Runs the same set of tests on the standby SPE as on the Active SPE.
Refer to the DATA-CHL section for a complete list of the tests that are run.
