Installing a Second RPM

Install a second RPM either before the system is powered on or after the Primary RPM is up and stable. After the second RPM is installed, wait several seconds until the connection between the two RPMs is established before configuring any commands. Below is an example of the messages that appear:

%POLLMGR-2-ALT_RPM_STATE: Alternate RPM is present

%IRC-6-IRC_COMMUP: Link to peer RPM is up

%RAM-6-RAM_TASK: RPM1 is in Standby State.

Once the link between the two RPMs is established, copy the running configuration to the startup configuration.

RPM Label and LEDs

Table 7-1describes the RPM LED states and the RPM front panel.

RPMs control the routing and switching functions for the entire E600i system. The E600i operates with a minimum of one RPM module. You can hot-insert a second RPM into a running system without performance interruption or software intervention. A second RPM for redundant functionality provides uninterrupted operability if the system transitions from the primary RPM to the secondary (standby) RPM. The secondary RPM constantly performs updates and receives the same information received by the primary RPM. The secondary RPM also performs diagnostics on its subsystems. In the event of a switchover, the secondary RPM immediately takes over and resumes the control activities that the primary RPM was performing.

A: Green: activity on port

 

 

 

Alarms

Major

Red: a critical condition exists, such as a severe over temperature condition, a fan tray

 

 

failure, an over temperature condition in a power supply, or an out-of-tolerance voltage.

 

 

The RPM LEDs are controlled by software which sets the threshold levels for triggering the

 

 

different stages of alarms.

 

 

Unlit: no major conditions.

 

 

 

 

Minor

Amber: a serious condition exists, such as an over temperature condition, a single fan failure,

 

 

or a line card failure. The RPM LEDs are controlled by software, which sets the threshold

 

 

levels for triggering the different stages of alarms.

 

 

Unlit: no minor alarm conditions.

 

 

 

 

ACO/LT

Allows you to test the operability of LEDs to verify that they are able to light.

 

 

Press the ACO/LT button to temporarily illuminate the LEDs on the RPM.

 

 

If you press this button when the alarm status LED is lit, the alarm relay contacts are reset

 

 

until the next alarm event.
