CHAPTER 8. SYSTEM BACKUP FOR DEFINITY G3r
Invoking the save announcements command with the either option forces the system to write
the announcements data to the specified device in both mass storage systems concurrently. If
there is a failure in accessing one of the devices, the announcements data will still be written to
the device that has not failed.
The
[disk | tape] options specify the device on which to save the announcements data. These
options only apply in a system with a disk.
Invoking the
save announcements command with the disk option forces the system to write the
announcements data to the disk. In a system configured with both a disk and a tape,
disk is the
default.
Invoking the
save announcements command with the tape option forces the system to write the
announcements data to the tape. In a system configured with only a tape unit,
tape is the
default.
Command Operation
The save announcement command will only be allowed if there is an integrated announcement
board in the system (E28).
The save announcement command will be denied if:
● No announcement data module has been administered (E29).
● No system port data module has been administered (E35).
● The announcement data module port is out of service (E34).
● The announcement data module port is active (e.g., performing an announcement play-
back) (E36).
● No announcements are on the ANN board (E33).
● A user is in an integrated announcements session
(E31).
● The board is currently being uploaded or downloaded (E29).
A user cannot enter an integrated announcement session after the
save announ-
ments command has started, although 15 channels are still available for announcement
playback (one is reserved for uploading and downloading).
If saving to tape, the
save announcements command will abort if:
● The tape is not in the tape drive (E37) or the tape is write-protected (E38).
● No system access port is available (E39).
● The MSS is in use by the SPE duplication memory refresh activity (E41).
In addition, the save announcements command will not be allowed if the MSS is in use. The
MSS maybe in use by either another user (E3) or by maintenance (E42).
Options entered by the user are validated against the system configuration and the target devices
for the save announcement command are determined (E11, E12).
If the user requests that announcements be saved to a disk the disk must be in service (E13).
