Viewing a list of fatal system exceptions
A fatal system exception occurs when the Central Processing Unit (CPU) detects an
error such as a division by zero, or accesses to non-existent memory. A fatal
exception causes the M770 ATM Switch to reboot. A breakpoint is a special type of
exception which is invoked by the M770 ATM Switch software when it detects an
internal inconsistency.
To dump a list of fatal system exceptions, use the system breaklog command.
Note: The breaklog provides vital information for diagnosing why the M770 ATM
Switch has crashed. This information needs to be reported to Avaya Technical
Support.
Clearing the list of fatal system exceptions
To clear the list of fatal system exceptions, use the system breaklog clear
command.
Running all the hardware tests
You can run all the non-critical hardware tests on a M770 ATM Switch. If all the
tests pass the M770 ATM Switch will respond with DONE!
If a test fails, then the BOOT Loader will display the test that has the failed and the
M770 ATM Switch LEDs will display the sequence that represents the error. For
more information about the LED status sequence, see the Module Installation
Guides.
To run all hardware tests, use the system test command.
