H06.03 ReadMe

3.4 Slice Reset

-----------------

After a SLICE RESET, do not take a dump of that slice

before the processing elements come back to Primitive State. Doing

the RCVDUMP file, cpu#, PARALLEL, SLICE A/B/C after the slice

has been reset can cause a %103472 halt. In addition, the slice reset

clears out the data in memory and a dump will not contain useful

information. If you do have to take a dump, ensure that the

processing element is in the proper state. This can be done by using

the OSM Service Connection to verify that the Attributes of the

processing element (PE A/B/C State) shows "Primitive State."

3.5 Performing a Coldload (System Load)

-----------------------------------------

For detailed information on loading the Integrity NonStop NS-series

server, including troubleshooting, see the NonStop NS-Series

Operations Guide. For information on initial loading of the NonStop

NS-series server, see the NonStop NS-Series Hardware Installation

Guide available in the Open Me First Box and in the Hardware

Maintenance Library Collection in NTL (available only to HP service

providers.)

3.6 TFDS and Processor Halts without OSM ($ZCMOM) Running

-----------------------------------------------------------

For both duplex (DMR) or triplex (TMR) systems, a problem can occur

when TFDS is processing a halt and OSM ($ZCMOM) is either not running

or has been stopped. TFDS automatically uses eGarth to get the

halt code. When the TFDS Monitor ($ZDMP) that handles the halt,

becomes idle, the processor is not reloaded and not dumped. However,

the TFDS Monitor is still capable of handling other incoming

incidents.

Make sure that OSM is running at all times to avoid this possible

TFDS problem. Use the SCF STATUS PROCESS $ZZKRN.#OSM-CIMOM command to

check whether $ZCMOM is running.

3.7 DCT Limits

---------------

At H06.03, the default limit on the number of entries in the

destination control table (DCT) is the same as for G-series.

3.8 DLL Limits

----------------

You cannot have more than 780 DLLs open on a NonStop NS-series

server. If so, you will encounter system problems because there

are too many DLLs. You can, however, combine DLLs so that they do not

exceed the 780 threshold.
