Parameters
display initcauses
display initcauses [print | schedule]
The
display initcauses
command displays a history of recovery steps taken by
the system.
This command displays information for restarts of the active
processor only
. Whenever the processor resets and the system is restarted,
whether initiated by a technician command or by system software, information
about the recovery is stored. If the reset is escalated, only the reset that
successfully completes is recorded. Information about the reset may also be
found in the Error Log. When a reset 4 (reboot) occurs, the Error Log is saved on
the Mass Storage System.
Records of the last 16 restarts are retained in the initcauses log in chronological
order. A power failure results in loss of all records in the initcauses log.
Output
The entire initcauses log, consisting of 16 resets, fills one screen.
fiber# The administered number (
1
to
27
) associated with a fiber link (or fiber link pair
in a duplicated PNC).
Cause
This gives the reason for the system reset, as follows:
Agent Request:
The restart was requested through the Agent/GEMINI
debugger interface (not available to craft login).
Craft Request:
The reset was initiated using
reset system
. This includes
restarts requested through the SPE-Down interface.
Initialized:
This represents a power-up, and is always the first entry in the
log unless more than 15 restarts have occurred since the last power up.
Interchange:
A spontaneous interchange was executed by the system
usually in response to a major hardware fault on the active SPE.
Maintenance Reset: The SPE was reset by maintenance software on the
SYSAM circuit pack. This includes periodic resets initiated by the SYSAM
during SPE-Down mode.
