■ The tape drive is specified and no tape is in the tape drive or the tape is
write-protected.
■ No system access port is available.
■ The MSS is in use by another user or by maintenance.
■ The specified device or SPE is not in service.
■ The standby SPE is specified and shadowing is not enabled.
A user cannot record announcements while a save announcements command is
in progress. However, 15 channels are still available for announcement playback
(one is reserved for uploading and downloading).
When MSS devices on both SPEs in a duplicated system are specified,
save
announcements
will save data from the announcement board to the active and
standby devices in parallel. The status of each save operation is reported
separately. If one save operation fails, the save to the other device continues.
Thus, the data is not lost. In this case, announcement date is inconsistent
between the two devices. In case of a failure due to hardware faults or
spontaneous SPE interchange, the user must make the announcement files on
the two MSS devices consistent.
If a hardware failure occurs during a save announcements operation, software
will log a hardware error. Maintenance software will invoke tests to diagnose and
attempt to correct the problem. If corrective action fails, an alarm is raised
against the ANNOUNCE maintenance object. Follow procedures recommended
under ANNOUNCE in Chapter 9, ‘‘ABRI-PORT (ASAI ISDN-BRI Port)’’
.
If a good copy of the announcement file is not available on the MSS, the
restore
announcements
command can not be executed until after a successful
save
announcements
is completed. The announcements on the board are still
accessible and usable.
