A core dump file c an overwrite other files on tape. Caution must b e exercised
when generating a core d ump on tape.
The vector will be cleared when a system restart of the proper level is p erformed
regardless of whether the core is ac tually dumped.
If handshake is down in a dup licated system, while sp e-active, spe-stand by, or
spe-maint is set, the active vec tor will be set, but the stan dby vector will retain its
former value. This could lead to d ifferent vectors on the active and standby SPEs.
Set vector should be reentered after hand shake is back up . (Setting spe-smm
while handshake is down returns an error messag e.) If handshake is up, the
selected vector (ac tive or standby) will b e set and the other cleared.
If an interchange occ urs after the spe-smm vector has b een set, a subsequent
restart will not trigger a c ore dump. However, if
another
interchange occ urs, a
core dump on th e sta ndb y SPE will take plac e in r espo nse to a rese t of t he
appropriate level on the stand by.
Parameters

warm restart, 2= cold -2 restart, 3=cold- 1 restart, and 4=rebo ot) that are

occ urs on the a ctiv e SPE and the c orre spon din g vec tor b it i s set, a cor e
