530: ZEMS-EVT-ACOL-TAKEOVER
ZEMS-TKN-GENTIME, -LOGTIME, -CPU, -PROC-DESC, -PIN, -NODENUM,
and -USERID
are standard EMS tokens. For more information, see Section 14, EMS Definitions.
ZEMS-TKN-SUBJECT-MARK (shared)
is the standard EMS token that immediately precedes each subject token. This
event message has one subject token:
ZEMS-TKN-COLLECTOR (nonshared)
specifies the collector type. This token can have only one value: ZEMS-SUBJ-
ACOLL (or 2).
ZEMS-TKN-TAKEOVER-REASON (nonshared)
is the reason for the takeover.
Cause. The primary alternate collector process, or the CPU in which it runs, failed.
This event is generated after the backup alternate collector process takes over.
Effect. If the primary alternate collector process fails, the backup process becomes
the primary alternate collector. The primary alternate collector attempts to create a new
backup after a 30-second delay. In the case of a CPU failure, a new backup is created
30 seconds after the new primary alternate collector process receives a CPU
RELOADED system message.
Recovery. If the primary process terminates abnormally, investigate the event log to
determine why.
