The files ending in .out are produced by running the appropriate command to dump internal (in memory) trace information or dump data to a file. The completed output file will be found in /var/adm/SPlogs/css/css.snap.[date-time]tar.Z.

css.snap avoids flooding /var by following these rules:

vIf less than 10% of /var is free, css.snap exits.

vIf the CSS portion of /var is more than 30% of the total space in /var, css.snap erases old snap files until the CSS share sinks below 30%. If successful, css.snap proceeds. If not, it exits.

css.snap is called automatically from the fault-service daemon when certain serious errors are detected. It can also be issued from the command line by service personnel when a switch or adapter related problem is indicated.

Switch supervisor self-test

The following procedures will help you perform self-test on the switch supervisor cards. Upon completion of this test, return to the procedure that sent you here.

1.Power off switch assembly from the circuit breaker on the front of the unit.

2.Detach supervisor harness from connector at back of the unit. Detaching the supervisor harness removes the 12 volt power from the supervisor card.

3.Reinsert the supervisor harness to perform the supervisor card self-test.

4.Check green and yellow LEDs on front of the unit.

This self-test should indicate one of the following conditions for the processor node:

Self-test Conditions

Pass sequence

a.Both LEDs light (about 10 seconds)

b.Green LED stays lit, while yellow LED goes off (about two seconds)

c.Green LED stays lit, while yellow LED flashes node address

d.Both LEDs turn off (about two seconds)

e.Both LEDs light (about one second)

Fail conditions

vGreen and Yellow LEDs never light

vYellow LED flashes wrong address

Verification tests using Perspectives

This section gives you the basic information needed to check the supervisor cards on a single node, frame, or switch.

Node supervisor verification

From the Hardware Perspectives window:

1.The Hardware Perspective should open with a node pane displayed. If it does not, or if you would like to open an additional node pane:

a.Click the Add Paneicon on the tool bar v The Add Pane dialog box opens

b.From the Pane Typepull down, select Nodes

c.Select your choice of adding the pane to the current window or to a new window

d.If desired, enter a new pane title

e.Click OKto open the pane and close the dialog box
