463.0. "Problem with second CPU on system" by BRETTN::HEITER (CSS Realtime Systems Engineering) Fri Mar 21 1997 17:57

I am having a problem with a V4.0 Field Test kit on a 2100A system running 
two CPUs. During the FT4.0 installation and when the system boots, the
following error message appears on the console screen: 
 
	... 
	CPU1 unable to complete console mode transition 1 
	CPU1: begin = 268160987421, end = 275153994627, delta = 6993007206 
	CPU1 unable to complete console mode transition 2 
	CPU1: begin = 275158960950, end = 282151968202, delta = 6993007252 
	... 
	 
Does this mean that there is a problem with the second CPU, i.e. it is dead
and is not configured for use? Or, does the second CPU have to be added through
a configuration routine after MLS+ is installed?

This system is actually at Oracle for testing their Trusted database code on 
an SMP machine (on MLS+ V4.0, currently the FT version). 

Thanks for your help,

   Chris

463.1	have not seen this before	NETRIX::"[email protected]"	thomson	`Tue Mar 25 1997 15:59`	26
	Sounds like you have a problem with your cpu. Try the following: (this is done from the console prompt level) >>> show error <- to see what type of errors you have >>> clear_errors cpu <- to clear cpu related errors And a note for those who are interested: CPUs are enabled by setting 1 bit for each of the cpu boards that you want to enable. ex. If you have cpu's 0 1 2 & 3 in your system and you want to run 1 & 3 as a multiprocessor system then: >>> set cpu_enable 0A <- where 1 0 1 0 cpu 3 --^ ^ cpu 1-' The system must be rebooted for a new setting to take effect.

463.2	also, if you can ftp, we can give you a RIS area	SMURF::BAT	Segui la tua beatitudine	`Tue Mar 25 1997 16:59`	5
	Chris, We are shortly going to have available the MLS+ V4.0A SSB CDROM. As soon as we do, we'll ship them one{some?}. Who is them? I am planning on sending to Alex Chen... should there be more?

	I had tested the system before I sent it to them, so something must have happened during the shipment or at the Oracle site... no matter. re: .1 I am trying to get the failure information from them now as well as trying to work with the local Field Service rep on site. re: .2 Yes, Alex Chen is the person who I am am working with to test the Trusted Oracle code. I had set up with Louise Brandwein (who? ;^) to get them a CD as soon as it came out.
