Secondary (Active, Primary is X)
This state indicates a secondary controller that has taken over for a failed primary controller. The administrator originally configured this controller to backup the primary controller; however, when the primary controller failed, this controller became an active copy of the primary. In this state, the primary controller backs up this secondary controller. Changing this secondary controller to “Primary (Active)” state resets this controller and the primary controller. In addition, resetting the controller causes the system to temporarily loose the link. Reads and writes occurring when the administrator resets this controller back to “Primary (Active)” state result in errors because the drives appear to have been removed. TMS does not recommended configuring an active secondary controller as primary unless no transmissions are taking place.
