Chapter 6 Configure the Redundancy Modules
The chassis platform configuration identifies the common operating platform of
the modules in the redundant chassis and applies to all redundancy modules. It
may be one of the following values depending on the redundancy release installed
in the system and the type of communication modules running in the redundant
chassis.
Determine if Further
Configuration is Required
The default configuration of the redundancy modules lets you synchronize your
redundant chassis without additional configuration if you are using a basic
redundant chassis pair.
However, some applications and uses of the redundancy system can require
additional configuration. For example, you must use the RMCT for additional
configuration if you need to complete any of these tasks:
• Set the redundancy modules to a different time or date (recommended).
• Program your controller to control the redundant system.
• Change the redundancy synchronization options of the redundant system.
• Change the synchronization states of your redundant chassis.
• Conduct a test switchover.
• Complete a firmware update of a module in the redundant chassis while
the system is online.
If you need to complete any of these tasks, reference the sections that follow.
Table 16 - Chassis Platform Configuration
Type Description
Standard The redundant chassis is operating on a Standard
platform. Modules supported in redundancy release
revisions 16.057, 16.056, 16.053, and 16.050 and releases
earlier than revision 16 comprise the standard platform.
Enhanced The redundant chassis is operating on an Enhanced
platform. Modules supported in redundancy release
revision 16.054 and all releases of revision 16.080 and
later comprise the enhanced platform.
Hybrid The redundant chassis contains a mix of modules
belonging to standard and enhanced platforms. All Hybrid
platforms are an unsupported redundant system
configuration.
