About Data Loss
TCOSS behaves like a database server and it is designed to work transactional. This means that all
confirmed data is guaranteed to be stored permanently.
Unexpected software or hardware errors (non detected RAM errors) are the exceptions. In case of a fault
tolerant system, the following hardware errors can be handled without data loss:
Failure in the disk of either the primary or secondary master.
Fatal hardware error in either the primary or secondary master (e.g. power supply, Power On Self Test
finds a RAM error...).
8.1.5 Supervisor Advises in Case of Errors
In case an error occurs or users tell that there is something wrong with the KCS system the supervisor
should perform the following tasks:
1) Do not switch off the KCS system.
2) Check the LEDs of your KCS TCOSS Server system.
3) In case the red and the green LED of the TCOSS Server are ON make sure that no further send
commands are entered and that the system can execute existing ones (capacity in use goes under
80% again).
