Parameters

display initcauses [print | schedule]
The display initcauses c ommand displays a history of recovery steps taken by
the system.

This command displays in formation for restarts of the active

processor only

. Whenever the processor resets and the system is restar ted,
whether initiated by a techni cian command or b y system software, information
about the recovery is stored. If the reset is escalated, only the reset that
successfully comp letes is recorded. Information about the reset may also be
found in the Error Log. When a reset 4 (reboot) occurs, the Error Log is saved on
the Mass Storage System.
Records of the last 16 restarts are retained in the initc auses log in chronologic al
order. A power failure results in loss of all rec ords in the initcauses log .
