CP FAULT

The following is a resume of CP FAULT OPI for learning purposes, in case CP FAULT
OPI has to be run please see the document 4/154 31-CNZ 214 099 for consultation.
In this example we consider that a permanent fault is detected in the CP, and CP FAULT
alarm is raised.
Replacement is going to be done on-site so we start the OPI in step 18 in OPI CP
FAULT 4/154 31-CNZ 214 099 rev.E)
A.- DIAGNOSIS OF THE FAULT
- A prerequisite for diagnosis function is to have a valid system backup in main
store since this is used at normalization attempts during the diagnosis of the CP.
- Initiate a diagnosis of the fault
REPCI;
Note. We will receive a printout with a list of most suspected fault (they can be SCBRP,
RPBIS, CPUB or MAUB)
B.- COLLECT VOLATILE CP LOGS
- If RPBIS was pointed in the suspected boards, we have to collect the RPBIS dump
logs:
PTCOI;
PTRPP:DUMP=dump,RPBIS=ALL;
PTCOE;
- For the rest of the boards collect just the SYSCON events and Error interrupt
information:
PTCOI;
PTARP:REG=SYSCONLOG;
PTCOE;
DIECP:INF=PAR;
DIECP:INF=SPO;
C.- PREPARE PCB REPLACEMENT
- If SCBRP need to be replaced, then the next actions have to continue with a new OPI
called FIRST LEVEL SWITCH, REPAIR , as this board is not included in REMCI
command. See next chapter of this document to see an example. After that, we will
return to CP FAULT OPI for doing a check repair.

- The other CP boards like RPBIS , CPUB and MAUB can be handled with REMCI
command for preparing the manual intervention.
REMCI:MAG=mag,PCB=pcb;
(ie.

REMCI:MAG=CPU,PCB=CPUB-B;
REMCI:MAG=CPU,PCB=MAUB;
REMCI:MAG=CPU,PCB=RPBIS-A-1; )

Note. Try to avoid the use of REMCI during high CP load, can cause call attempt
rejection if system start to do traffic regulation.
Note. MAUB board has to be with power switch in position O (off) before removing the
cables, and the new MAUB board has to be with power switch also in position O (off)
until the cables are connected, then the power switch can be changed to I (on).
Note. At repair of MAUB or RPBIS boards, the CPUB board in the CP-SB will be
automatically powered off by command REMCI. It will then be powered on by command
RECCI. The reason for this is to be able to carry out RUF of MAUB or RPBIS. The RUF
process occurs during the booting of CP-SB side.
D.- PREPARE FOR REPAIR CHECK
Note. A prerequisite for repair function is to have a valid system backup in main
store since this is used at normalization attempts during the repair check of the CP.
- If the CPUB was replaced is has to be ordered a synchronization of HW configuration
table :
APLOC;
hwcsync
exit;
Note: Manually ordered update of the hardware configuration table is only needed at
replacement of PCB of CPUB type.
- If MAUB was replaced we will need first a RECCI to MAUB for checking the success or
not in the board repairment.
RECCI;
Note . result must be received in less than 1 hour, normally less than 10 minutes. This is
due to the possibility of RUF in the MAUB.
- Check if there is a RUF ongoing in the system:
PTCOI;
PTCRP:PRO=GPR,REG=RUFSTATUS;
PTCOE;
Note. If bit 0 is set in RUFSTATUS register that means a RUF is ongoing, so RECCI
result will not be received until this RUF is finished.

- Now a repair check has to be done after REMCI for CPUB and RPBIS and to normalize
CPs after successful RECCI to MAUB:
RECCI;
Note . result must be received in less than 1 hour, normally less than 10 minutes. This is
due to the possibility of RUF in the CPUB or RPBIS units. (MAUB already finished, so in
MAUB manual interventions the second RECCI should be faster as RUF is already
done).
- Check if there is a RUF ongoing in the system:
PTCOI;
PTCRP:PRO=GPR,REG=RUFSTATUS;
PTCOE;
Note. If bit 0 is set in RUFSTATUS register that means a RUF is ongoing, so RECCI
result will not be received until this RUF is finished.
- If repair check was successful, then collect Non-Volatile CP info and do a report:
DIRCP;
APLOC;
clhls s cpa .
clhls s cpb .
exit;
-This is an example of the different MAG and PCB in REMCI and printouts obtained:
MAG only have one possibility that is CPU
PCB could be CPUB-A, CPUB-B, RPBIS-A-n, RPBIS-B-n, MAUB
REMCI:MAG=CPU,PCB=CPUB-B;

As you can see the number of units in PCB is lower than previous CPs, also the manual
intervention is reduced to locate a single board , move cables and replace faulty board.
