1-32 System recovery controller
297-8021-545 Standard 14.02 May 2001
For example, you can capture only PM logs that the system generated on a
given day between set start and end times. The process starts when you enter
the FORMAT command. The process includes the following steps:
• The software locates the appropriate file(s) which contain the logs based
on the parameters that you entered.
• The formatting process begins. The process filters out the files and logs
that do not fit the requirements. The result is a formatted DLOG file that
only contains the specified logs.
The final file has a FILENAME of DLOG+date/time stamp with the current
time, for example: DLOG940613102642. You can name the storage device
that stores the final file.
Logs that relate to recovery
The system generates the following logs during the successful recovery of a
PM:
• PM181 (indicates that a PM is at the ROM level)
• PM181 (indicates the PM that is not loaded)
• PM181 (indicates a reset PM)
• PM181 (indicates a transfer of load files to the PM)
• PM181 (indicates that static data cleared)
• PM181 (indicates that static data updated)
When the SRC fails to recover a PM, the system generates the following logs:
• PM117 (indicates that the recovery failed before loading)
• PM181 (indicates that loading failed during recovery)
• PM117 (indicates that the recovery failed after loading)
Log Report Reference Manual documents log reports.
Failure of SRC to recover a PM
During recovery, the system recovery message appears next to the name of the
PM.
If the system cannot recovery the failed PM, the following actions occur:
• the PM remains system busy
• the system generates a log
• the system recovery message disappears
