The save announcements command will not be allowed if the MSS is in use. The
MSS may be in use by either another user or by maintenance.
If the user requests that announcements be saved to the standby processor, the
standby processor must be in service and shadowing must be enabled.
When MSS devices on both processors in a High or Critical Reliability System are
specified, the save announcements operation will save announcement data from
the announcement board to the active MSS device, then to the standby MSS
device. The status of each save operation is reported to the user separately. If
one of the save operations fail, the save operation to the other device continues.
The goal is to save the new announcement data on some MSS device so that it is
not lost totally; this will cause the announcement data to be inconsistent between
these MSS devices.
In case of a failure, it is the user’s responsibility to make the announcement files
on the two MSS devices consistent. The files may become inconsistent due to
hardware failures or spontaneous processor interchanges. If announcement files
are inconsistent due to failure on the hardware used during the save
announcements command, the user should take appropriate action based on the
error message returned. Maintenance software monitoring this hardware will log
a hardware error with maintenance. Maintenance software will invoke tests to
diagnose and attempt to correct the problem. If maintenance software fails to
correct the problem, an alarm is raised and the system technician should take
appropriate action.
The save announcements command writes two time-stamped identical copies of
announcement data to the selected device(s). The time stamp for both copies
will be the same, i.e. the time of writing to the first copy. Each copy contains a
timestamp and the state of the copy (i.e., "good" or "bad").
If a good copy of the announcement file is not available, then the restore
announcements operation can not be executed until the save announcements
command is successfully completed. The announcements on the board are still
accessible and usable.
