Standby SPE Handshake Test (#919)
This test causes software to send a handshake request message to the standby
SPE (this is the same handshake request message sent every 30 seconds
automatically by the software). For this test to pass, standby software must
respond to this message in less than 3 seconds. Persistent failure of this test
indicates that handshake communication is down (as can be discerned from the
"status spe" command). This should be dealt with as described in the preceding
section ‘‘Resolving Handshake Failure.’’
Standby SPE Configuration Matchup Test (#920)
This test requires that handshake be up. It checks to see if the hardware
configuration of the standby SPE is in agreement with that of the active SPE,
ignoring tape and disk components.
Active SPE software sends a message to
the standby requesting a list of the latter’s components. This list is compared to
the list of known components on the active SPE.
This match is necessary for memory shadowing to operate correctly, and for the
standby SPE to be able to take on active SPE status correctly. Failure indicates
that, for some SPE component other than disk or tape, the two SPE

Result Description/ Recommendation
1321 ABORT Test cannot run due to SPEs being locked.
1. Inter-SPE communication is not possible while in locked mode. Verify that
SPEs are locked with lock switches. Handshake communication may
resume once the SPEs are unlocked.
1330 ABORT Test cannot run due to problem in DUPINT hardware.
1. Test the duplication-interface hardware according to the service
documentation for DUPINT and DUP-CHL.
1338 ABORT Test cannot run due to planned SPE interchange pending.
1. Wait for the planned SPE interchange to complete, then retry the test.
FAIL Standby SPE did not respond to handshake request within 3 seconds.
1. Wait 2 minutes and try the test again.
2. If test fails again, use "status spe" to see if handshake communication is
up. If it is not and there is a STBY-SPE MAJOR alarm, then deal with the
problem according to the preceding section Resolving Handshake
Failure.’’
PASS Handshake request was responded to within 3 seconds; handshake
communication is up.
