Initialization and Recovery
555-233-143
3-10 Issue 1 May 2002
Reset Level 2 (Cold-2 Restart)
Duration Up to 3.75 minutes
Causes reset system 2 command from MultiVantage (SAT/ASA) command line
Escalation from SAT’s reset level 1
An attempted SAT’s reset level 1 during a PNC interchange
Spontaneous interchange into an unrefreshed standby server
Effects Every system and application link is dropped.
Every call is dropped.
Every administrative session is dropped.
Every system link is dropped and re-established.
Every application link is dropped and re-established.
Non-translation feature data, such as Automatic Wakeup calls, are lost and
must be re-entered.
Translation data is preserved in memory. If a “save trans” operation is in
progress, a SAT-requested cold-2 restart would be aborted. A
software-requested cold-2 restart would result in an unsuccessful “save
trans” operation and possibly corrupt translations.
Every G3-MT login, including remote access and system port logins, is
dropped.
Initialization firmware runs diagnostics and displays results on the G3-MT
screen.
Server memory shadowing is turned off, leaving the standby server
unavailable for service for up to several minutes.
Every hardware component, except activeTN2312 IPSI in any PN, active EI
in a non-IPSI connected PN, SNIs, SNCs, and DS1 clocks.
For a critical-reliability system (duplicated PNC), a global refresh of the
standby PNC is performed after the reset.
Every busied-out MO is released and can be rebusied.
Circuit packs are reinitialized. (Translations are verified by comparison to
physical boards’ locations.)
Error and alarm logs are preserved, and every MultiVantage alarm is
resolved.
