Summary of PRSM Auto Processes
Automatic Image Dump
Note:
Automatic image (AUTOIMAGE) allows for image dumps to be
taken automatically for DMS-100F SuperNode switches
.
Autodump Commands
>AUTODUMP <subcommands> has the following subcommands:
>HISTORY displays the history of the last scheduled image.
>
STATUS
displays info on last dump taken and ON/OFF status.
>ON/OFF turns scheduled image ON or OFF.
>
MANUAL
starts an image dump on command.
>RETAIN change the primary load route updating.
>STOPDUMP used to stop a scheduled image already in progress.
AUTOIMAGE Tables
Table IMAGEDEV defines the image storage file storage devices used in
the automatic image dump process. Each tuple in this table consists of 2
fields, VOLNAME and ACTIVE. This table has a maximum size of 4 cor-
responding to the 4 load routes.
Table IMAGESCHED is used to track and schedule the automatic image
dump process. Each tuple in this table consists of four fields: DAY,
DUMPHOUR, DUMPMIN, and ACTIVE. The table has a maximum size
of 7 tuples corresponding to the seven days of the week.
Notes:
1. If any tuples are not datafilled, the auto-image will not run.
2. If more than one volume is defined, then the next image occurs on the
next available volume. If current volume is the last one, auto-image will
rotate to the top of the table and use the volume defined in the first tuple.
3. If a tuple is datafilled in either table but the ACTIVE field is set to “N”,
the auto-image will not run on that day nor use the oldest volume,
depending on the table.
4. Some offices may need to increase the size of their disk volumes to
accommodate two images.

PRSM auto processes are controlled by the PRSM scheduler. Everyday
at the day of the week times set in table AUTOOPTS it executes the File
Audit, Autoapp and the Status Audit. The Auto Apply process is the
only optional process and can be controlled via table AUTOPRSU to
set which days of the week it runs. Other fields in table AUTOOPTS
(mondata, duration, maxatmpt and dropsync(split for XACore)) are
used to control other attributes. The approval field is used to set the
custapp default for new PRSU files. MNTIME is a field calculated and
written by the system which estimates the next time autoapp will start.

FILE AUDIT Process:
1. searches for new PRSU files on devices
in table PADNDEV and validates them.
2. detects missing applied XPM and SPM
PRSU files.
3. detects unequal PRSU files (duplicate
files that are not exactly the same).
AUTO APPLY Process:
1. drops sync or splits if set.
2. stops if log threshold of specified logs is
reached as set in mondata, logname and
lognum fields.
3. applies all CM validated PRSUs which
are custapp=y, autoapp=y.
4. syncs or unsplits if required.
5. applies all validated ISN, then XPM and
finally SPM PRSUs which are
custapp=y, autoapp=y.
Note: Autoapp will terminate at a safe point
after time duration or maximum
attempts fields are reached.
STATUS AUDIT Process:
1. performs an office-wide dbaudit
2. detects and raises alarms as set in table
PRSMALRM. See PRSM470 log.
