DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Maintenance for R8.2csi
555-233-119 Issue 1
April 2000
Maintenance Commands
2-201restore announcements
2
■ If the announcement data module port is out of service or active (for
example, performing an announcement playback), the system denies the
command.
■ If users are in integrated announcements sessions, the system denies the
command.
■ If the board is currently uploading or downloading, the system denies the
command. Users cannot save or restore announcement after the
restore
announcements
command commences.
■ If no tape is in the tape drive when users attempt a copy, the command
aborts.
■ If the MSS is in use by another user or maintenance, the
restore
announcements
command is not allowed.
■ Unsaved or corrupted announcement files on the MSS, disallow the
restore announcements
command.
■ To prepare for a failure, users should copy announcement files to
announcement boards. If errors result from hardware or firmware failures,
MSS software logs hardware errors with maintenance. When errors occur,
the system continually attempts to download boards in 10-minute intervals
until a download succeeds, announcements record, or downloads initiate
from the SAT. Then, error messages display indicating corrective action. If
errors result from hardware or firmware failure, MSS software logs a
hardware error with maintenance. Maintenance software invokes tests to
diagnose and attempt to correct the problem. If maintenance software fails
to correct problems, alarms raise indicating additional corrective action.
■ When the system crashes and/or a spontaneous processor interchange
occurs, the restore operation fails. Valid announcement files do not appear
on the announcement board. To copy the announcements from the active
processor’s MSS device to the announcement board, restart the command
on the newly- active processor. When announcements completely copy to
announcement boards, calls do not connect to announcements on the
ANN board.
■ When announcement boards are plugged in or reset, maintenance
performs a series of tests, including a DRAM Checksum test. Tests fail due
to power losses to boards, resulting in an automatic download of
announcement files.
