Introduction
During startup, the database is read to properly load the motion control hardware. A utility named readuniversals
reads from the database. Three messages should appear when readuniversals
loads shown below:
readuniv: DB Initialized OK
readuniv: Engine Found
readuniv: DB VER 2.9, SW VER 2.9 Is Acceptable
If the database is not loading correctly, you will only see the first message from readuniversals
.
Workaround
If may be possible to restart the database to finish booting. This workaround requires entering commands at the command prompt. To access the command prompt, press ctrl-C to stop the startup script. When the startup script is terminated, the following message displays:
DS9000 Startup Procedure Failed
After the startup failure message, you will see a command prompt (indicated by a line beginning with a dollar sign [$
]). At this prompt, enter the following commands (these commands are case sensitive press enter after each line):
$ slay -9 dbsrv50
$ startup.sh; startx;
