CHAPTER 8. SYSTEM BACKUP FOR DEFINITY G3r
The following operational rules apply to the save translation command:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
The
save translation command will only be allowed if there are no translation updates
being made. All requests to update translation, after the command starts, will be denied
(E1).
If Terminal Translation Initialization (TTI) activation or deactivation is in progress, the
save translation command will be denied (E2).
The
save translation command will not be allowed if the MSS is engaged by another
user or is being used for background maintenance (E3).
The options entered by the user are validated against the system configuration and the
target devices for the
save translation command are determined (E11, E12).
If the user requests that translation be saved to a disk, the disk must be in service (E13).
If the user requests that translation be saved to a tape, the tape must be in service
(E14). If the user requests that translation be saved to the standby processor, the
standby processor must be in service, shadowing must be enabled, and refresh must be
completed (E16).
If the file system of the target device is a core-dump file system, the command will be
denied (E17).
If the target device is a tape, and the file system type of the tape is an installation file
system, and the vintage of the boot image running in the active processor
matches the
vintage of the boot image on the tape, then the system will first configure the tape with
the same configuration as is currently running. If the in-memory vintage does not match
the vintage on the tape, the save translation command will be denied (E18). In this situa-
tion, the user must manually configure the tape by using the configure command and
then reissue the
save translation command.
If errors are encountered in the operations described above, the save operation should
not be attempted.
