Server field definitions
The View Summary Status, Interchange Servers, Busy Out Server, and Release
Server screens show detailed status information about the server or servers
in your system. The information appears in the following two categories:
Duplication
status information
State-of-health information
Duplication status information
Duplication status appears near the top of the screen:
- Duplicated.
This field indicates whether or not the server is part of a two-processor,
duplicated system. It displays a yes or no value.
- Standby Busied.
This field indicates whether or not the standby server is prevented from
going active. It displays a yes or no value.
- Standby Refreshed.
This field indicates whether or not the standby server is synchronized
with the active server and can therefore go active without dropping calls.
It displays a yes or no value.
- Standby Shadowing.
This field indicates whether the data shadowing between servers is on
or off.
- Duplication Link.
This field indicates the status of the duplication link, based on the
duplication manager, which runs a process on each server and is responsible
for data shadowing between the servers. It can have any of the following
values:
- Up. This value
indicates that the duplication manager processes on both servers have
established a link in both directions.
- Half. This
value indicates that the duplication manager communication has been established
in one, but not both, directions.
- Init. This
value indicates that neither side knows yet if it is capable of contacting
the other side.
- Down. This
value indicates that no attempt is currently being made to establish a
connection between duplication managers.
- Elapsed Time since
Init/Interchange. This field displays the days, hours, minutes,
and seconds since the last known system initialization or interchange
occurred.
|
 note
|
If you see a "curbs in" message to the right of the elapsed
time, it indicates that anti-thrashing curbs are being used. These curbs
block interchanges from occurring, even if the standby server is refreshed
and seems to have a better state of health than the active server. |
State-of-health information
Information about the server's overall state of health appears in the
bottom part of the screen. Information about the local server displays
on the left, and information about the remote server displays on the right.
- Mode. This
field indicates the server's mode, as follows:
- Not ready.
This mode displays during initialization of the server or when the server
is down.
- Standby.
Indicates the server is in service but is not the active server.
- Busy out.
Indicates that the server is out of service.
- Active.
Indicates that the server is running Avaya Call Processing (ACP) software.
- Major Alarms.
This field indicates whether or not there are any outstanding major server
alarms. It displays a yes or no value.
Minor Alarms. This field indicates
whether or not there are any outstanding minor server alarms. It displays
a yes or no value.
Control Network. This field
shows an X/Y value, where X is the number of IPSI-connected port networks
currently controlled by the server, and Y is the number of IPSI-connected
port networks the server should be controlling.
|
note |
This field is blank if it has not yet been determined whether or not
there are any connection problems. |
Server Hardware. This field
indicates the hardware's state of health, as follows:
Processes. This field indicates
the state of health for server processes, as follows:
- Okay. None
of the processes watched by the watchdog process have become incapable
of being restarted.
- acp_fail.
The ACP process has failed.
- srv_fail.
A non-ACP platform process has failed.
- crit_os.
A critical operating system service has failed.
- Blank. The
watchdog process is not running.
