Maintenance
Checking a Non-redundant System
1. Log on to the maintenance terminal and select 
maintenance mode.
2. Enter the following commands:
SH ST AL Checks for system alarms. There 
should be no alarms. If alarms are 
present, see Flowchart 3: An Alarm is 
Present on page 120.
DBMS STAT Checks the status of the initialized 
flag. The flag should be on if the 
system is in sync. If the flag is off, 
enter DBMS SAVE from the active 
plane.
PROG R DIS Displays the scheduled system 
reset. By default, the system reboots 
at 2:15 a.m. daily ONLY IF there is 
memory fragmentation. To force a 
system reboot at the scheduled time, 
see Scheduling a System Reboot 
(Non-redundant Systems) on page 
95.
ME S Checks the status of the 
communication links. All 
communication links should be open.
PCM TO Checks for circuit switch link faults. 
There should be no faults.
DBMS CH F Checks the sanity and current status 
of the system. The number of 
detected errors should be zero. 
Otherwise, there is a problem with 
the database and immediate steps 
should be taken to begin recovery.
Note: This step takes 60 seconds to 
complete.
