PROC-SAN (Process Sanity Audits)
S8700 | 8710 / S8500
The Process Sanity Audits MO is responsible for monitoring the sanity of software processes in
the system. If the Process Sanity Audits MO detects that a process has gone insane (does not
respond to a sanity message within an allotted time period), the process will be restarted. If the
Process Sanity Audits MO detects that multiple processes (or a single key process) do not
respond to sanity messages within an allotted time period, a system recovery action will be
initiated.
The Process Sanity Audits MO has no alarms and no tests. Certain errors are logged to the
Hardware Error Log for information purposes only.
