Help Messages

SPE system, the following message will be displayed:
Enter system recovery level ’1’(WARM), ’2’(COLDII),
’3’(COLDI), ’4’(REBOOT), or ’5’(EXT REBOOT)
If the system technician presses 
HELP after entering "reset system" on a duplex 
SPE system, the following message will be displayed:
Enter system recovery level ’1’(WARM), ’2’(COLDII),
’3’(COLDI), ’4’(REBOOT), or ’5’(EXT REBOOT)
 or ’interchange [’health-override’]’
Error Messages
If the CANCEL key is pressed after the command has been started, the following 
message is displayed:
This command may not be canceled
If the system reset level is not numeric or "interchange," the following message 
will be displayed:
System reset level invalid
A "reset system interchange" command will abort for the following 
reasons:
■ If the standby SPE is down
■ If the active SPE is locked active
■ If communication to the standby SPE is not possible
■ If memory shadowing to the standby SPE is not functioning
■ If the standby SPE is not fully refreshed
■ If the standby SPE is busied out
health-override If a HOT restart interchange fails because the Fault Severity Level of 
the standby SPE is higher than that of the active SPE, the 
"health-override" option can be specified to try to force a switch to 
occur. If the switch occurs, this option causes the new active SPE 
Fault Severity Level to be raised as much as possible in hopes that a 
software initiated HOT SPE interchange switch back to the original 
active SPE will not occur. This artificial raising of the active Fault 
Severity Level will last for one hour at which time the Fault Severity 
Level of both SPEs will return to their normal values based on the 
alarms listed in the table above.
