Procedure 6-28
Polling disks from a nonredundant mode
Step Description
119
Enter (at the terminal):
>LSTACT (cr)
Alternate between steps 5 and 6 until the following response to the LSTACT command is
seen:
0 FILES LISTED
Note 6: If a block header is received at any time before moving on to step 7, repeat steps 3-6 until
all active files are closed.
Note 7: When executing the CLSACT command, it is possible that a disk file error could occur. For
example, FILE CLOSE ERROR:18, which is received for closing an empty file, has no impact, and
should be ignored. For any other error messages, refer to the listing for that message and perform
the craftsperson activities.
120
Change the disk mode. Enter (at the terminal):
>DISK MODE AO (cr) If the current disk mode is B ONLY.
or
>DISK MODE BO (cr) If the current disk mode is A ONLY.
CAUTION
Do not change the disk mode to PRIME; this would cause one of the
disks to write all of its data onto the other disk. All of the data on the
other disk would be lost.
121
Open a new AMA file. Enter (at the terminal):
>IDXMAINT CREATE FILE AMA (cr)
122
Initiate a polling session
Inform the HOC of your intentions. This session takes the oldest primary AMA data from
the first disk. New AMA data, if received at this time, is saved on this disk. The polling
session ends when all of the oldest primary AMA data has been read from this first disk.
