_upstab(4)                      (RM400 only)                     _upstab(4)

NAME
     upstab - parameterization file for the eipd, ptfd, and pupsd daemon

SYNOPSIS
     /var/adm/ubft/upstab

DESCRIPTION
     Reactions of the eipd, eipd, ptfd, and pupsd daemon to error events
     can be parameterized by means of entries in the upstab file.

     Reaction type parameters allow parameterization of the reaction model
     used during error events. Important parameters are the timespan
     between detection of the error and startup of the shutdown action, and
     the type of shutdown action. The reaction type parameters have the
     following format:

        error:cabno:waittime:scripttime:warntime:reaction:script [parameter]

     The error event is named using error. Values can be taken from the
     following list:

     error ::= {acf2|fanunitfail|tempfail|acf1|eiplost|toofewpsunits| \
                upsactive|upsactive+batlow}

     The cabno parameter contains the logical cabinet ID (logical cabinet
     number) from the range of values [0,15] or the character string any.
     The definition line with the character string any is used for those
     cabinets in the system which are not explicitly defined by an indivi-
     dual line and cabinet number.

     In the case of multiple entries with the same error event error and
     the same cabinet number cabno, only the first is taken into account.

     The scripttime parameter describes the user reaction script time
     available to the user to execute the required actions.

     Warning:  waittime and warntime have not yet been evaluated on the
               RM400.

     The sum of the delay time and user reaction script time represents the
     timespan between detection of the error event and startup of the
     relevant shutdown action.

     The reaction parameter defines the type of shutdown action. Possible
     values are:

          reaction ::= { noshutdown | slowshutdown | fastshutdown }

     The parameter "script [parameter]" can be used to start a user-speci-
     fic program before execution of the reaction. "script [parameter]" is
     first supplied with "echo".

_upstab(4)                      (RM400 only)                     _upstab(4)

     If slowshutdown is used, "shutdown -y -gwarntime -i0" is executed,
     and if fastshutdown is used, "uadmin 2 0" is executed. If noshutdown
     is defined, no shutdown action is executed, but the "user_reaction"
     program is executed.

NOTES
     The upstab file is evaluated when the eipd, ptfd, and pupsd daemons
     are started. If configuration changes are made during operation, the
     daemons have to be forced as follows to re-evaluate the upstab file:

     -  eipd daemon with /etc/rc2.d/S98eip stop; /etc/rc2.d/S98eip start

     -  ptfd daemon with /etc/rc2.d/S98ptf stop; /etc/rc2.d/S98ptf start

     -  pupsd daemon with /etc/rc2.d/S98pups stop; /etc/rc2.d/S98pups start

     Comment lines in the upstab file begin with the character #. Blanks
     or tabs may be placed in front of it, if necessary. Comment lines are
     also ignored.
