■ Alarms against components relevant to shadowing
■ A mismatch between the hardware configurations of the active and
standby SPEs
■ Incomplete initialization of the standby after a restart
When memory shadowing is not on, system software checks every 30 seconds to
see if the above conditions are gone, allowing it to restore shadowing. Examine
the Hardware Error Log for any of the following indications.
STBY-SPE Error 257
This usually represents inhibiting of memory shadowing by the standby SPE. This
can occur if the standby SPE is undergoing any level of restart or if the standby
PKT-INT circuit pack is being reset. Typically this condition clears quickly. In the
case that the standby SPE has restarted, there should be an STBY-SPE error 514
logged. If the 257 error persists with handshake staying up, look for problems
with the standby PKT-INT board (red LED). It may be necessary to reset the
standby PKT-INT board (
reset packet-interface
) to clear the inhibiting of
shadowing. See “PKT-INT”.
STBY-SPE Error 260
This indicates that the mechanism in the active SPE’s Duplication Interface circuit
pack to turn on shadowing has somehow failed. When this occurs, busyout the
standby SPE and run
test dup long
. Follow instructions for DUPINT.
STBY-SPE Error 1537
This error indicates a component mismatch between the active and standby
SPEs. Use
list config control
to determine what components are in the PPN
carriers A and B. Correct any mismatches. Use the lock-and-power-down
method described in Chapter 5 to replace circuit packs.
