NVRAM is only good for 5 to 8 years. This stores basic machine
configuration info. The NVRAM may need replacing.

Subject: [foxboro] AW51D Problem

At one site, they are using AW51D with 64 MB RAM, 360 MHz speed,
Ultrasparc-II machine

It is frequently giving problem. Sometimes it goes to ok prompt on the
message " Panic..................."

And sometimes the display just freezes with no response from keyboard =
and mouse. The CPU power is on and the screen is frozen onto one
display.

I have checked the disk space by df command and usage is very low. Most
= of the hard disk is empty. Also the memory usage is very low as
indicated = by "vmstat" and "perfmeter" commands.=20

Surprisingly there are two such AW51Ds and both are having similar =
frequent problem.

Can you comment what can be the problem. Guess the problem lies within =
the CPU of these machines.

A couple more things. Even if you are not at 8.x there are three
documents you might find helpful:

        B0700AM - Just ADMC
        B0700AT - Workstation Alarm Management (revised). I think
improved over B0193RV
        B0700AP - AM Built-In Commands

Although written for 8.0 (with a lot of enhancements) you may find them
useful.

Also for the matching, the following should also work:

    match no_priority1.ams
    clear_page
    stop_match

Steve,

Try replacing the command on the Clear Alarm button with:

    !=3D3D3D <Priority> 1 clear_alm

This should only clear the alarm if it is not a priority 1. However I do
not think this will work with multiple alarms selected. Also if the
alarm has returned to normal the priority field will no longer have the
"1" in it. It will most likely contain an "R", so if selected even a RTN
priority 1 alarm would be cleared.

It would not be possible to do this with Clear Page. The clear_page
functionality is internal to the AM. You might be able to use a
combination of matching and clear_page. Filter out priority 1 alarms
(via a pre-created match spec file), clear_page, stop the match. You
would probably see the AM changing as the matches were applied and then
stopped. Something like the following might work. I've never tried it
myself.

    almdisp CAD -match no_priority1.ams
    clear_page
    stop_match

You can write your own scripts and programs and execute them with the AM
built-in command "run" however there is no built-in to do a clear_alarm
by name it must be selected.

Good Luck,
Kathy

I have been trudging through the documentation around alarming and
haven't quite found what I need.

I want to change the "Clear Alarm" and "Clear Page" button actions in
the CAD.  Instead of simply disabling these buttons, I'd like to be able
to have these buttons ignore alarms based upon priority.  For example, I
don't want priority 1 alarms to be cleared, but all others can.  B0193RV
taunts me with a "hint" that this can be accomplished, but I haven't
been able to discover how.

Hopefully someone knows how to do this (on a UNIX-only system).  Thanks!
