Reset Level 5 (Extended Reboot)
Initialization Diagnostics
For each reset level, the system performs a series of diagnostic tests on
components of the SPE to confirm that the system can be brought into service.
The management terminal displays the result of each test as it occurs. If a reboot
fails, and the system cannot bring itself up, SPE-down mode is invoked. A
description of this mode, with troubleshooting procedures available to it, appears
in the following section.
Table 4-1
shows the diagnostic tests run during initializations. Level 1, 2 and 3
resets 4 perform the first 11 tests (through the Timer Test). Reboots complete all
tests in the table except the last one. Only extended reboots execute the Memory
Board Couple Test.
If a test fails, make the indicated repair. If more than one repair is indicated,
perform them in the order shown until the problem is resolved. Follow procedures
described in ‘‘Replacing SPE Circuit Packs’’
in Chapter 5, ‘‘Alarms, Errors, and
Troubleshooting’’.
Other effects are the same as those in reset level 3, except that
more extensive diagnostics are performed.
If reboot fails, SPE-down mode is invoked.
If a core dump is enabled for this reset level via the
set vector
command, the reboot is delayed until the core dump has
completed.
