Tests on the Standby SPE
Although this subsection is not about the individual test commands listed
previously, several useful facts about executing these commands for Standby
SPE components are mentioned here. These facts also apply to the test
spe-standby [short | long] command.
1. If the Standby SPE is in Standby Mode, execution of the listed test
commands results in the Active SPE putting the Standby SPE into
Maintenance Mode. Up to a two minute delay may be observed before the
first test in the sequence is run and its test results are displayed on the
terminal. Each subsequent test in the sequence takes from 10 to 60
seconds to run, except for the CARD-MEM Erase/Write/Read test #693,
which takes one to five minutes to run.
2. The test memory [[0]1] a | b long command is an exception to the first
item. The first test in the sequence is the Memory Functional Test (#332)
which takes from 30 seconds to two minutes. After the Memory Functional
Test (#332) is run, the same delays described in Item 1 of this list are
relevant.
3. The test duplication-interface [[0]1] a | b long command is also an
exception to the first item. The first test in the sequence is the MBUS
Time-out Query (#285) which takes from 30 seconds to 2 minutes to run.
After the MBUS Time-out Query (#285) is run, the same delays described
in Item 1 of this list are relevant.
For each administered Processor Interface Port, the following test is run:
404 Standby PI Port Test (PI-PT) X X
For a Packet Control circuit packet in the Standby SPE, the following three tests are run:
586 Packet Control System Technician Reset Test
(PKT-CTRL)
XX
583 Packet Control Read and Clear Error Counter Test
(PKT-CTRL)
XX
585 Packet Control Loop Around Test (PKT-CTRL) X X
