Configure the Redundancy Modules

Use this table to determine what an event classification indicates and if corrective

action is required.

Table 21 - Classification Types

Classification Type

Description

Action Required

Configuration

A redundancy module configuration parameter has been changed.
For example, if you change the Auto-Synchronization parameter from

Always to Never, an event classified as Configuration is logged.

No corrective action is required.
This event is provided for informational purposes and does not indicate

serious anomaly with the redundancy system.

Command

An event related to commands issued to the redundant system has

occurred.
For example, if you change the Redundancy Module Date and Time

parameters, a WCT time change event of the Command classification is

logged.

No corrective action is required.
This event is provided for informational purposes and does not indicate

serious anomaly with the redundancy system.

Failure

A failure on the redundancy module has occurred.
For example, an internal Firmware error event classified as a Failure can

be indicated in the event log.

Action can be required to determine the cause of the failure.
If the failure is not followed by a Switchover or Major Fault event, then the

module could have corrected the error internally and additional action is

not required.
To determine if corrective action is required, double-click the event to see

Extended Event Information and the suggested recovery method, if

applicable.

Major Fault

A major fault has occurred on one of the redundancy modules.

Action can be required to determine the action needed to correct the fault.
Double-click the event to see Extended Event Information and the

suggested recovery method, if applicable.

Minor Fault

A minor fault has occurred on one of the redundancy modules.

No corrective action is required.
This event is provided for informational purposes and does not indicates

serious anomaly with the redundancy system.

Starts/Stops

Various internal chassis and module processes have started or stopped.

No corrective action is required.
However, if an event that is classified as a Failure, State Change, or Major

Fault occurs after the Starts/Stops event, view the Extended Event

Information of both events to determine if the events are related.

State Changes

A chassis or module state change has occurred.
For example, if the chassis designation changes from being a

disqualified secondary to a qualified secondary, a State Change event is

logged.

No corrective action is required.
However, if an event that is classified as a Failure, or Major Fault occurs after

the State Changes event, view the Extended Event Information of both

events to determine if the events are related.

Switchover

An event related to a chassis switchover has occurred.
For example, if an Initiate Switchover command is issued, an event

classified as Switchover is logged.

Action can be required to determine the cause of the switchover and

potential correction methods.
Double-click the event to see Extended Event Information and the

suggested recovery method, if applicable.

Synchronization

An event related to chassis synchronization has occurred.
For example, if the Synchronization command has been issued, a

Network Transitioned to Attached event is logged and classified as

Synchronization.

No corrective action is required.
This event is provided for informational purposes and does not indicates

serious anomaly with the redundancy system.
