Note: When possible, perform an IPL on the system to guarantee all vlogs get created even if the IPL
|
|
will fail. The intent is that LIC has started the vlog tasks prior to performing the dump of flight
recorders.
|
|
The following is an overview of how this function works:
Note: If your system is not in manual mode, and the extended functions are not activated, or both,
|
|
follow these steps:
1. First, if your server uses a keystick, insert it in the key slot.
|
2. Place the server into manual mode by using the system's control panel.
|
3. Using the Up and Down buttons, select function 25. Press the Enter button.
|
|
4. Use the Up button to select function 26. Press the Enter button.
A function 65 is performed from one of the input methods. You have approximately 45 seconds to enter a
|
|
function 21 for the system to pair the two functions together. If not, the function 21 is a force of DST to
|
the console. Depending on the state of the current IPL you may or may not see a change at the console,
assuming the console is still present after the 65. If the 65 and 21 are entered in less than 45 seconds a
|
|
System Reference Code (SRC) of A6nn500A should appear on the control panel. Repeating the 65 and 21
puts the system into an edit mode in which you can make a change or cause an action to be performed.
|
After the second 65+21 pair is entered, the control panel will respond with the SRC of A6nn500B to
|
|
indicate you are in edit mode. Each repeated 65+21 within edit mode will increment nn of the SRC until
you reach the value representing what action you intend to perform. At this time you enter just a single
|
21 which will cause the selected function to be performed. The SRC should then become A6nn500C to
|
|
indicate the function was successfully submitted. If at any time you exceed 45 seconds between the 65
and 21 or between succeeding 21s, SRC A6nn500D will be presented indicating a timeout condition and
|
the system is no longer in edit mode. If you were intending to make a change you will need to restart the
|
|
operations. This SRC will be reset in approximately 3 minutes. You can cancel out of edit mode by doing
a function 66. The function 66 does not have to complete successfully.
|
|
The following codes will allow you to track your progress:
A6nn 500x
|
|
Where nn means:
00 = No console defined
|
|
01 = Twinax console
|
02 = Direct attached Operations Console
03 = LAN Operations Console
|
|
C3 = Clear LAN configuration
A3 = Deactivate followed by an activate of the LAN Operations Console adapter
|
DD = Dump all console related flight recorder into a set of vlogs
|
Notes:
|
1. Selecting 02 will automatically activate the asynchronous adapter used for Operations Console direct
|
|
attach.
2. Selecting 03 may also require a function A3 to activate the LAN adapter in rare cases. Also, if a LAN
|
connected console is connected, the emulator may go to a Disconnected state. If so, you can start it
|
|
again by clicking Communication and selecting Connect.
Where x means:
|
A6nn 500A
|
|
You are displaying the current console mode setting.
|
A6nn 500B
You did a second 65+21 pair so you are in edit mode.
