busyout link
busyout link link#
The
busyout link
command puts a specified Packet Gateway link in a
maintenance busy state. (See
Busyout
and
Release
Commands at the
beginning of this chapter). A link may also be busied out with
busyout port
using
the address of the PGATE port that supports the link.
!
CAUTION:
Busyout of a link drops all calls and packet traffic dependent on that link.
The application, adjunct, or switch connected to the link will be
inaccessible and the link will have to be reestablished later when returned
to service. See
status link
for more details on links.
Parameters
For more information see the following sections at the beginning of this chapter:
Busyout
and
Release
Commands, Common Input Parameters, and Common
Output Fields.
busyout spe-standby
busyout spe-standby
The
busyout spe-standby
command lowers the Software State Of Health of the
standby Switch Processing Element (SPE) kept by the standby Duplication
Interface (DUPINT) board to the lowest possible level above non-functional. This
diminishes the chance that an interchange will occur, but does not guarantee
that an interchange will not occur. This command also turns off memory
shadowing. Periodic and scheduled testing
are not
turned off on busied out
objects, but warning alarms with error 18 are generated.
Busyout of the standby SPE is allowed if communication to the standby is down
(handshake failure), but the state of health may not be lowered. Use status spe
to determine the condition of the SPE after the busyout has been entered.
When a busyout of the standby SPE is performed, the software state of health of
the standby SPE is set to the lowest possible level and memory shadowing is
turned off. This is done to lessen the probability that the system will switch to the
standby SPE. However, in some cases a “spontaneous” (hard) interchange of the
SPEs may still occur.
Link# A number (1-16) assigned to the link on the Communication-Interface Links
form.
