restore announcements
To prepare for a failure, users should copy announcement files to announcement
boards. If errors result from hardware or firmware failures, MSS software logs
hardware errors with maintenance. When errors occur, the system continually
attempts to download boards in 10-minute intervals until a download succeeds,
announcements record, or downloads initiate from the SAT. Then, error messages
display indicating corrective action. If errors result from hardware or firmware
failure, MSS software logs a hardware error with maintenance. Maintenance
software invokes tests to diagnose and attempt to correct the problem. If
maintenance software fails to correct problems, alarms raise indicating additional
corrective action.
When the system crashes and/or a spontaneous processor interchange occurs,
the restore operation fails. Valid announcement files do not appear on the
announcement board. To copy the announcements from the active processor's
MSS device to the announcement board, restart the command on the newly-
active processor. When announcements completely copy to announcement
boards, calls do not connect to announcements on the ANN board.
When announcement boards are plugged in or reset, maintenance performs a
series of tests, including a DRAM Checksum test. Tests fail due to power losses to
boards, resulting in automatic downloading of announcement files.
