Description
The set vector command specifies what level of restart must occur before a core
dump occurs. The memory copy (core dump) is placed on the primary Mass
Storage System (a tape in a tape system and a core dump memory card in a
memory card system) device so that it may be examined at a later date. The set
vector command allows the technician to tailor what level of restarts will cause
memory to be copied to the primary Mass Storage System device.
NOTE:
An extended reboot will never be requested by software.
To force a core dump to occur immediately by user demand in a simplex or
duplex system, the appropriate bit should be set using this command, then a
"reset system" should be done at a level that will force a core dump
corresponding to the set vector bit.
When a system restart occurs in a simplex Switch Processing Element (SPE)
system with the corresponding vector bit set, the core dump is written to
secondary storage (the primary MSS device). Once the core dump is written, the
vector is cleared and the restart is performed. This command is always service
disruptive in a simplex system.
When a system restart occurs on the active SPE in a High or Critical Reliability
System with the corresponding vector bit set, and the "spe-active" option was
selected when the vector bit was set, the active SPE will perform a core dump.
Service will be disrupted while the active SPE is performing the requested
core dump.
When a system restart occurs on the active SPE in a High or Critical Reliability
System with the corresponding vector bit set, and the "spe-standby" option was
selected when the vector bit was set, the standby SPE will perform a core dump
after the standby SPE has refreshed its memory.
When a system restart occurs on the active SPE in a High or Critical Reliability
System with the corresponding vector bit set, and the "spe-maint" option was
selected when the vector bit was set, the standby SPE will perform a core dump
without refreshing its memory first.
In all cases after a core dump has been performed, the vector will be cleared.
Defaults
In a High or Critical Reliability System, the default option is "spe-standby."
