DS15 (Alpha) is shutting off
I understand this DS15 system is on UPS other systems in the same room are found powered up.
What would cause the DS15 to be found shutdown?
Even if power was loss, shouldn't the Alpha boot at least to the ">>>" (if no Auto_Action was set)>
I am not aware of the Alpha having an option like PCs have in their BIOS to Start on When Power is Restored.
Any ideas?
I'm hoping the ERRLOG.SYS may have some information.
I notice this log is not All text. What utility can be used to read the ERRLOG.SYS?
Thanks.
Tony

Re: DS15 (Alpha) is shutting off
>set autoaction BOOT
(or RESTART)
>init
If your node crashed for some reason, check the files in sys$common:[syserr] /since=xxx.
If your node is shutdown by someone, you should find some log files for it (depends on how you boot/shutdown).
If your node lost power, you have none of the above.

Re: DS15 (Alpha) is shutting off
a reason for the shutdown could be, that the system reched its overheat temperature and did a aoutomatic shutdown

Re: DS15 (Alpha) is shutting off
to translate ERRLOG.SYS, you'll need ANAL/ERR/ELV (is included in OpenVMS Alpha V7.3-2 or higher) or you need to separately install DECevent V3.4 or WEBES (SEA).
Also consider to have a look into SYS$MANAGER:OPERATOR.LOG.
May the system be running UPS control software (to check the state of the UPS and power) ? I've seen this type of software to cause 'false' alarms and automatically shut down the system.
Volker.

Entering from a Serial Terminal
Invoke the RMC from a serial terminal by typing the following default escape sequence: ^[^[ rmc
* This sequence is equivalent to typing Ctrl/left bracket, Ctrl/left bracket, rmc. On some keyboards, the Esc key functions like the Ctrl/left bracket combination.
To exit, enter the quit command. This action returns you to whatever you were doing before you invoked the RMC. In the following example, the quit command returns you to the system COM1 port.
RMC> quit
Returning to COM port
Entering from the Local VGA Monitor
To enter the RMC from the local VGA monitor, the console environment variable must be set to graphics and COM1_MODE must be set to THROUGH. Invoke the SRM console on the VGA monitor and enter the rmc command.
>>>set Com1_mode through
>>>rmc
You are about to connect to the Remote Management Console.
Use the RMC reset command or press the front panel reset
button to disconnect and to reload the SRM console.
Do you really want to continue? [y/(n)] y
Please enter the escape sequence to connect to the Remote
Management Console.
After you enter the escape sequence, the system enters the CLI and the RMC> prompt is displayed. When the RMC session is completed, reset the system with the Reset button on the operator control panel if the button has been configured for reset or issue the RMC reset command.
RMC> reset
Returning to COM port
After you logged in you could use the "stat" command and you would get something like this:
RMC> stat

You can also use the log command to see the last 10 logged alerts. Use "help" to see all available commands. After you are done here you can exit with "reset" and your normal console will return.
