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.
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.
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 |
The XIR does not override the NVRAM auto-boot? variable.
TL |
Trap level |
TT |
Trap type |
TPC |
