Status Card-Mem - Avaya Definity SI Maintenance Manual

Maintenance Commands and Trouble-Clearing Aids

status card-mem

Memory cards are portable, compact memory cards that contain banks of flash
EPROM chips. Non-volatile memory cards are eraseable and randomly
programmed with user data. Main memory stores system software in its "flash"
section. Memory cards that save translations do not contain copies of the system
software. During system reboot or system power down conditions, in-core system
maintenance hardware error logs temporarily save in memory cards before the
system goes down. Then, the error logs file reads back when the system restarts.
The Hard Patch feature also uses the memory card as temporary storage when
LMM applies patched files to the system software.
The status card-mem command displays the following memory card information
located at active or standby SPEs:
Is a valid memory card in place?
Is the memory card write-protected?
What is the capacity of the inserted memory card?
What kind of system configuration - small or medium?
What is the number of pulses counted in the last erase operation?
What is the percentage of translation storage space used?
What are the names of files stored in the memory card, and what is date
and time (if available) when it was saved?
