Maintenance Commands
8-215set vector
8
A core dump file can overwrite other files on tape. Caution must be exercised
when generating a core dump on tape.
The vector will be cleared when a system restart of the proper level is performed
regardless of whether the core is actually dumped.
If handshake is down in a duplicated system, while spe-active, spe-standby, or
spe-maint is set, the active vector will be set, but the standby vector will retain its
former value. This could lead to different vectors on the active and standby SPEs.
Set vector
should be reentered after handshake is back up. (Setting spe-smm
while handshake is down returns an error message.) If handshake is up, the
selected vector (active or standby) will be set and the other cleared.
If an interchange occurs after the spe-smm vector has been set, a subsequent
restart will not trigger a core dump. However, if
another
interchange occurs, a
core dump on the standby SPE will take place in response to a reset of the
appropriate level on the standby.
Parameters
condition
A hexadecimal value representing the combination of reset levels (1=
warm restart, 2= cold-2 restart, 3=cold-1 restart, and 4=reboot) that are
enabled to initiate a core dump, as illustrated in the following table.

spe-standby This is the default for duplicated systems. If a restart of a designated level
occurs on the active SPE and the corresponding vector bit is set, a core
dump will be taken on the standby SPE after the standby SPE has
performed a refresh of memory.
