System Reboots and the Error and Alarm Logs
The system attempts to save the error and alarm log s to the disk on the
active
SPE when any of the following events take place:
—The
save translation command is exec uted.
— Translations are saved as par t of scheduled maintenanc e (as
administered on the maintenance -related system parameters form).
— A d emand or software-escalated system reb oot takes place.
— The PPN is about to lose all p ower after having been on battery b ackup.
Conditions such as unavailab ility of the MSS can prevent this attempt from
succeeding.
Whenev er the s ystem reboo ts, th e error log is resto red fro m the d isk o n the SPE
that becomes active with the reboot. Since the logs are saved to the d isk on the
SPE that was active before the reboot, the versions restored at reboot tim e may
not be current. This occurs when either:
— The attempt to sav e at reboot did not succ eed.
— The SPE that is active coming out o f the reboot is not the same one to
which the logs were last saved.
In such a case, the logs will not show the errors and alarms that have been
logg ed si nce t he last time a save w as mad e to th e SPE that b eca me act ive wi th
the reboot. When looking at errors that preced e the last reboot, look for
indications prec eding the reboot to deter mine whether the logs restored at
reboot are complete.
System resets less severe than a reboot rarely affect the error and alar m logs.
NOTE:
If the re are SYSTEM errors in the Error Lo g, us e display initcauses to
obtain additional infor mation. Information that could not be log ged during a
system reset may be found here.
