A2. PROCESSOR RECOVERY MESSAGES
A2.1 Overview
This appendix is a guide to Processor Recovery Messages (PRMs) unique to the DRM
initialization and recovery. For a complete listing of PRMs, consult 235-600-601,

Switch Processor Recovery Messages. The following list of PRMs are described
in this section:
5F06 FF05
60xx FF06
CB00 FF1B
FF03 FF1F
This section will help the user interpret the messages and correct faults.
Processor Recovery Messages are one-line, fixed-format messages that use
hexadecimal notation to print critical switch initialization and recovery information.
PRMs are associated with the recovery of the following system entities: AM and
CM2/CMP.
PRMs are not associated with the recovery of the switching module. The switching
module initialization information is displayed via MCC display pages.
PRMs are printed on the ROP and on the Emergency Action Interface (EAI) page at
the MCC.
PRMs are used to report various events associated with AM initializations and AM
fault recovery. The types of events reported include:
• Successful beginning or end of an initialization step.
• Failure of a software initialization step.
• An initialization phase trigger (that is, high-level reason for initializing).
• An ASSERT or error report.
• Lack of AM resources (for example, real time or message buffers).
Each PRM is associated with a unique five-digit key that appears at the top of the
PRM’s page.
When a digit in a key position is a literal, that is, will never change value, it is shown
in uppercase in the key. When a digit in a key position is variable, it may change
values, it is written in lowercase. The lowercase v is usually reserved for the special
case of a variable in the first letter of the format, such as in the following example:
PRM_p EEda 5F06 xxxx yyzz hh hh hh
If the leading character of a PRM identifier is E, as in the previous example, then it
reports problems that do not involve AM initialization.
If the leading character of the identifier is F, then it reports a problem that usually
involves system-wide initialization.
If the leading character is a v, then some versions of that PRM message begin with
either an E or an F.
