Cisco Systems MGX 8230 manual Commands to Operate the Online Diagnostics, Log Files, Oldclrlock

Chapter 6 Card and Service Configuration

Online Diagnostics test

Note Note: Certain hardware failures prevent alarms from being set. If this occurs, the log files and screen display should be used to determine if a failure has occurred.

Log Files

Each time the diagnostics are run, the results are logged in a file on the PXM1 drive. If a standby PXM1 exists, a separate log file is written to that disk and must be viewed separately.

•The log files on the active PXM1 also indicate if a failure occurred on the standby PXM1.

•Only the three most recent log files are retained. If three files exist and a new test is run, the oldest log file is overwritten by the new file.

•Log files are named onlinediag.MONTHDAY_hh:mm. The files are saved in C:DIAG.

•If a failure occurs, a message is also added to the shelf event log.

Commands to Operate the Online Diagnostics

The following commands are used to operate the Online Diagnostics:

oldiags <debug_level> <switch_enable>

This command runs the diagnostics on both the active PXM1 and the standby PXM1 (if available). Two options are available for this command. If the command is entered without specifying any options, the default values are automatically used. If options are used, they must be entered in the order shown:

•<debug_level> This option determines the amount of information to be displayed on the screen. This detail is shown on the screen only. Log files contain a standard set of information and are not affected by this option.

–debug_level is a value between 0 and 3.

–0 (the default) displays the least amount of detail.

–3 displays the most detail.

•<switch_enable> enables or disables automatic switchover to the standby PXM1.

–0 (the default) disables automatic switchover.

–1 enables automatic switchover.

oldiags-help or oldiags help

These help commands display a description of the oldiags command and options.

oldclrlock

oldclrlock clears the lock of a previous oldiags process.

If an oldiags process is stopped while running (either from a keyboard command or unexpected process shutdown), the command will be locked and cannot be run again until the lock is cleared. The oldclrlock command clears this lock.
