Casio P460 manual Synchronizing the Supervisor Modules Manually

Chapter 6 Maximizing Avaya P460 Availability

Configuring the Supervisor Modules for Active/Standby Operation

In order to operate in an Active-Standby configuration, the two SPVs must be synchronized.

•If the Supervisor modules are not synchronized, one is Active and the other Halted.

In this case you will need to synchronize them manually. See “Synchronizing the Supervisor Modules Manually“ on page 36.

•Both Supervisor modules switching fabrics participate in switching/routing in Active-Standby configuration only

•A Supervisor module which was Active stays Active after a chassis reset

One of the SPVs can operate as Standby automatically only if both of the following conditions are fulfilled:

•The current chassis is the last one in which you inserted this SPV

•The current running SW images are the same version

Synchronizing the Supervisor Modules Manually

If the SPVs are not synchronized, you need to synchronize them manually using the Avaya P460 CLI.

Note: Synchronization can be required for a complete synchronization also if the SPVs are in an Active-Standby configuration. For example, when the SPVs boot with the same SW but from different banks

1Access the CLI. See Chapter 7, “Establishing Switch Access“

2Enter the sync spv command from the Active Supervisor Module.

This command transfers the following information from the Active Supervisor module to the other Supervisor module:

—Firmware images

—Embedded Web image

—Preferred boot bank

—Chassis synchronization

The transfer process can take up to 90 seconds.
