  • Page 43 Retensioning The tape drive works best when it is operated as a streaming tape. If the tape cartridge has been operated in the streaming mode, it is not necessary to re-tension the tape. If the tape is used in a non-streaming mode (many start and stop operations), re-tension the tape after approximately every 30 minutes.
  • Page 44 Tape Cartridge Data Efficiency Note: For maximum efficiency, operate the 1/4-inch tape drive in the streaming mode whenever possible. The 1/4-inch tape cartridge efficiency is defined as the amount of data that can be stored on the cartridge and the data rate at which the data can be read from the tape cartridge. When in use, the tape in the cartridge is moved at a constant speed.

  • Page 63: Chapter 3. Using Systemguard

    Chapter 3. Using SystemGuard This chapter introduces the SystemGuard service processor which is included in all Symmetric Multiprocessor models. Introduction SMP servers include a service processor, called SystemGuard, as a standard feature. SystemGuard continually monitors the hardware as well as the operating system. If, for instance, a CPU fails, the system detects this, reboots itself automatically and runs the built-in diagnostics on the hardware.

  • Page 64: Systemguard Power

    SystemGuard Power SystemGuard has its own DC power boundary. This means that even if the system power is off (power button of the system in the off position), SystemGuard is still powered on, as long as the CPU enclosure still still has power. This allows control of the system even though the system is down.

  • Page 65: The Operator Panel

    Key Mode Switch (Physical Key) In the 7015 R30, R40, and R50 CPU Enclosures the I/O card contains the NVRAM while the NVRAM battery and the TOD (Time-Of-Day) are located in the Operator Panel. You can drain NVRAM in the following ways:...

  • Page 66: Systemguard Consoles

    SystemGuard Consoles SystemGuard works with two types of consoles: The Bump Console , which is an ASCII terminal attached to the S1 serial port. This console provides the normal input to the BUMP. It can be local or remote. The line speed for the BUMP console must be set to 9600 baud for either type of connection.

  • Page 67: Init Phase

    Init Phase Init phase is entered when the power button on the Operator Panel is pressed on or when the power-on command is entered on the BUMP Console or Service Console. If the System Key is in Normal mode, the BUMP runs the built-in or resident power-on (PON)-tests on the CPU module hardware, IPLs on the first available processor, runs the functional power on self-tests (POST) on the I/O subsystem to check the system, and finally loads the AIX operating system.
  • Page 68 Phase Change (Stand-By to Init) The phase change from Stand-By to Init is called Crossing the Power boundary. This is achieved by pushing the power button on the Operator Panel or by typing the keyword power at the Stand-By prompt (>). Note that if you type power while the power button is not pushed in, nothing happens until you press the power button.
  • Page 69 Power-on (PON) Tests PON tests are run by SystemGuard whenever the system power comes on. There are two types of tests: A comprehensive set of tests are performed on the processors, cache, memory and related hardware when the Fast-IPL flag is disabled. A minimum core set of tests are performed on the processors, cache, memory and related hardware during fast-IPL which cannot be turned off.
  • Page 70 There are other resident PON tests to check other system resources. These tests are a subset of the SystemGuard maintenance offline tests, and reside within the flash EPROM. These tests are divided into the following groups: BUMP Quick I/O Test Group These tests check the accessibility and the functions of the standard and direct I/O components from the BUMP: Async lines (S1, S2, and S3), EEPROMs, NVRAM, Flash EPROM, and TOD...

  • Page 71: Systemguard Parameters And Flags

    Service contract flags These flags enable Service Console usage, maintenance usage and determine if dial-out messages are to be sent to IBM or to a Customer Service Center. These flags are stored in the SID (System Identification) field of the System EEPROM.

  • Page 72: Working With Systemguard

    Working with SystemGuard You can change SystemGuard parameters and flags from different locations They can be changed from the SystemGuard STAND-BY MENU, the SystemGuard MAINTENANCE MENU, the Diagnostics interface, and also from AIX. When the key signal is received, SystemGuard clears the screen and displays the SystemGuard prompt.

  • Page 73: Systemguard Menus

    When the system is in Stand-By mode and the System Key (Physical or Electronic Key) is in Service mode, the STAND-BY MENU can be accessed and SystemGuard executed. If you turn the system unit power on from Stand-By mode with the System Key in the Normal position, the system boots to AIX Multi-User.
  • Page 74 Stand-By Menu The STAND-BY MENU can only be entered when the system is in Stand-By mode (the word Stand-By must be displayed on the LCD display). Perform the following steps to bring up the STAND-BY MENU. 1. With Stand-By displayed on the LCD display press the Enter key on the BUMP console. The Stand-By prompt is the greater than (>) sign.
