When Slave Main Control Board Unregistration on an ATN 950B

Keywords:

ATN 950B, slave main control board, unregistered

Summary:

On an ATN 950B equipped with the AND2CXPE/AND2CXPA/AND2CXPB boards, software does not send

packets in the defined order, causing communication failures between the master and slave main control boards.

As a result, the slave main control board fails to be registered.

 

[Problem Description]

Application scenario:

The AND2CXPE/AND2CXPA/AND2CXPB boards function as the master and slave main control boards on

an ATN 950B.

Trigger conditions:

There is a low probability that the problem occurs if the AND2CXPE/AND2CXPA/AND2CXPB boards function

as the master and slave main control boards on an ATN 950B.

Symptom:

The slave main control board cannot be registered.

Identification method:

1. Check the type of the main control boards.

Run the display version command in the user view.

 

This problem occurs only on the ATN 950B on which the AND2CXPE/AND2CXPA/AND2CXPB boards function

as the master and slave main control boards.

2. Check the board registration status.

Run the display device command in the user view.

3. Check the cause of the board reset. Information on the master main control board shows that the slave main

control board encountered an HA failure.

Run the display board-reset 8 command. The parameter 8 indicates the slot number of the unregistered board.

—    Reason:VRP HA Module reset slave board //Indicates that the slave main control board is reset due to an HA failure.

 

[Root Cause]

In some cases, software does not send packets in the defined order, causing communication failures between

the master and slave main control boards. As a result, the slave main control board fails to be registered.

 

[Impact and Risk]

The slave main control board is not registered and fails to back up the master main control board.

 

[Measures and Solutions]

Recovery measures:

Install a patch on the ATN 950B.

Workarounds:

None

Solutions:

Install the V200R003SPH005 patch or later on the ATN 950B V200R003C00SPC200/ ATN 950B V200R003C10SPC100.
