Whenever the system reboots, the logs are restored from the SPE disk that
becomes active with the reboot. Since the logs are saved to the disk on the SPE
that was active
before the reboot, the versions restored at reboot time may not be
current. This condition occurs if:
— The attempt to save at reboot did not succeed.
— The SPE disk that is rebooted is not the same disk to which the logs were
last saved.
In such a case, the logs do not contain the most recent errors and alarms. To
determine if the restored logs are complete, look for indications that would have
preceded the reboot.
System resets, less severe than a reboot, rarely affect the error and alarm logs.
NOTE:
If the error and alarm logs contain SYSTEM errors, then use the
display
initcauses
command to search for information that system could
not log
during reset operation.
Input form
