Processors and Components: Monitoring and

Reloading a Single Processor on a Running Server

Recovery

 

Using TACL RELOAD to Perform Reload

Run the RELOAD utility to reload the remaining processors after the first processor in a system has been brought up, or to recover a processor that has failed.

The H-series RELOAD utility allows you to omit (or exclude) a Blade Element from the reload operation. This allows you get the processor running for the PEs on the other Blade Elements, take a dump of the PE on the omitted Blade Element, and then reintegrate it back into the running processor. The OMITBLADE parameter allows you to specify the Blade Element (A, B, or C) to be excluded from the reload or, used without specifying a particular Blade Element, OMITBLADE selects a Blade Element to be excluded.

1.Select File>Start Terminal Emulator.

2.From the menu, select For Startup TACL. Two OutsideView windows appear.

3.In the Enter Telnet IP Address box, type the IP address that is currently configured for your primary service connection. If the processor for the primary service connection IP address is down, type the IP address that is currently configured for your backup service connection.

4.Click OK. The OutsideView window is active, and the TACL1> prompt appears.

5.Enter the super ID (255,255) and press Enter.

6.Type the password and press Enter.

A $SYSTEM STARTUP 1> prompt appears (the prompt depends on your defaults).

7.Use the RELOAD command as appropriate for your scenario.

Note. If you plan to dump the PE for one Blade Element after reloading, use RELOAD with the OMITBLADE parameter. If you don’t know which Blade Element to specify, use OMITBLADE without specifying A, B, or C. RELOAD will choose an appropriate Blade Element, and reply with the letter of the Blade Element that was omitted. Use this to specify the Blade Element in the RCVDUMP command.
