Hipath 4K stops logging errors

[kevin906]

After seeing this message in the Hista log file we are not seeing any more error messages.
This system typically generates dozens of errors per day so this is not normal, although it would be nice if it really running this clean. I doubt that.
I have DEL-HISTA, ADD-HISTA, restarted the A1. It still won't log anything. Anyone ever seen this condition before?

Try ACT-DSSM:A1,1;
Also when you ADD-HISTA what size option is available

 

[kevin906]

Dea/Act/dssm nothing changed.
ADD-HISTAossible values 500-10000

 

[sbcsu]

You could try and delete what is there and re-add the size again as follows:

DEL-HISTA;
ADD-HISTA:10000,DEACT;

 

[sbcsu]

Or

DIS-SIGNL:SYSTEM;

This will show you which processors are up and running or not as the case may be

Is AFR still around on the 4000? It wouldn't have shut all that off when the queue overflowed, would it? It's off the queue would overflow anyway. I have 9006 systems that have been running over 16 years and have never had to touch that. When it gets full the oldest stuff usually just rolls off the bottom....

AFR is still in use. I think it's more related to getting the errors over to Unix so they can create alarm files. There is an entry in SIGNL that references DPT3 which is C-FBTXTRA in ASSGN. In the 4K that AFR has been re-engineered in some screwy fashion that is far more complex than the 9006 uses. It has to make VPN tunnel calls back to the Siemens support center to dump the alarms, at least that is how it looks to me. Anyway the AFR should not affect the actual writing of the errors into the HISTA file at as:c-fbtxtra and as:c-fbthist. At least I don't think so. There is not much information about how the alarm process works other than the basics about the AMOS needed. ASSGN, SIGNL, AFR and HISTA. Those can be regen'ed to see the entry information. I have deleted and added everything back in and it still won't write any errors. I am thinking full reload, but this is a 24x7 site so that's nowhere in the near future.
