Externally Initiated Reset XIR

If a hard failure occurs, use XIR to reset the system and get information about the system state at the time of the hard failure.

To Initiate an XIR
  1. Use either the XIR button on the clock board or the remote console XIR sequence.

    When an XIR occurs, memory is cleared but some CPU state is saved.

To Display this XIR Information
  1. Type the following command at the ok prompt immediately after the XIR:


    ok .xir-state-all
    

    The output displays the CPU state for each CPU:

     #1 ok .xir-state-all
     TL=1 TT=3
    CPU ID#1
     TPC=e0028688 TnPC=e0028688 TSTATE=9900001e06
     
     CPU ID#5
     TL=1 TT=3
     TPC=e002755c TnPC=e0027560 TSTATE=4477001e03
     #1 ok .xir-state-all
     TL=1 TT=3


Note -

The XIR does not override the NVRAM auto-boot? variable.
