■If the announcement data modu le port is out of service or ac tive (for
example, performing an announcement playb ack), the system denies the
command.
■If users are in integrated announcements sessions , the system denies the
command.
■If the board is currently up loading or download ing, the system denies the
command. Users cannot save or restore announcement after the restore
announcements command commences.
■If no tape is in the tape drive wh en users attempt a copy, the command
aborts.
■If the MSS is in use by another user or maintenance, the restore
announcements command is not allowed.
■Unsaved or corrupted announcement files on the MSS, disallow the
restore announcements command.
■To prepare for a failure, users should copy announc ement files to
announcement boards. If errors result from hard ware or firmware failures,
MSS software logs hardware errors with maintenance. When errors occur,
the system continually attempts to download boards in 10-minute intervals
until a download succ eeds, announcements rec ord, or downloads initia te
from the SAT. Then, error messages display indicating corrective action. If
errors result from hardware or firmware failure, MSS software logs a
hardware error with maintenance. Maintenance software invokes tests to
diagnose and attemp t to correct the prob lem. If maintenance software fails
to correct problems, a larms raise indicating additional correc tive action.
■When the system crashes and/or a spontane ous processor interchang e
occurs, the restore operation fail s. Valid announcement files do not app ear
on the announcement board. To copy the announc ements from the active
processor’s MSS device to the announcement b oard, restart the command
on the newly- active processor. When announcements completely c opy to
announcement boards, c alls do not connec t to announcements on the
ANN board.
■When announcement boards are plug ged in or reset, maintenanc e
performs a series of tests, inc luding a DRAM Checksum test. Tests fail due
to power losses to boards, resulting in an automatic download of
announcement files.
