refresh spe-standby
Description
The refresh spe-standby command is used to immediately put the Standby SPE
into Standby Mode. The command conducts the same activities regardless of
whether the Standby SPE is already in Standby or Maintenance Mode. When this
command is issued, any Standby SPE maintenance activity that is currently is
progress is preempted, the Standby SPE Processor is held reset, and the
Standby SPE’s DRAM memory is refreshed (that is, all of Active SPE DRAM
memory is shadowed to the Standby SPE memory). The refresh is necessary
because while the Standby SPE is in Maintenance Mode, memory shadowing is
disabled. When the Standby SPE is returned to Standby Mode, its memory must
be brought up-to-date with Active SPE memory.
Because of its power to preempt Standby SPE maintenance activities, the refresh
spe-standby command should be used judiciously. If the Standby SPE is in
Maintenance Mode when the refresh spe-standby command is issued, the
maintenance activity that is being conducted by the Standby SPE is immediately
terminated with the following potential side-effects:
■ Testing of the Standby SPE components that are the target of the
maintenance activity may not have completed. Depending on the
maintenance activity and the point at which it is terminated, tests that
detect faults and/or lack of faults on those Standby SPE components may
not have had the opportunity to run. Accordingly, alarms are not raised or
retired on the components.
■ If the maintenance activity is scheduled and if the refresh spe-standby
command is issued before a scheduled translation save is performed, the
translation save is not done and the translations data on the Active and
Standby SPE mass storage devices do not reflect the changes made
since the last translation save.
