ASAI Maintenance Capabilities11
This chapter describes the Maintenance Capability Group. The capabilities available in this group are used to disable and enable
The following capabilities are available:
Heartbeat | This capability lets the adjunct and the ECS request a |
| sanity check on the ASAI software or the ASAI link. |
Suspend alarms | This capability lets the adjunct disable |
| |
| planned down time or routine maintenance. |
Resume alarms | This capability lets the adjunct enable |
| |
Restart | This capability clears out all data structures and |
| resources associated with the ASAI link (for example, |
| associations). |
!
CAUTION:
All adjuncts must support the restart and heartbeat procedures or the ASAI link will not operate. Further, it is strongly recommended that all adjuncts incorporate suspend/resume maintenance to avoid unnecessary alarms and resulting maintenance expenses when adjuncts are brought down for routine maintenance or normal shutdown.
