Peer Name Type Flags F/O Mode Message(s)
Eq-D (Local) OS/10 F/O, A/A, xfr Backup No

Eq-B (Remote)OS/10 F/O, A/A, xfr Backup No
Eq-C (Remote)OS/10 F/O, A/A, xfr Backup No
If all peers sharing several failover groups are rebooted or powered on in a sequential fashion
(first reboot
Eq-A
, then
Eq-B
etc.), the expected behavior is that one unit may become Primary
for all failover groups, depending upon the sequence in which the systems become active on the
network. If this occurs, running the "rebalance" command will re-distribute the failover groups to
their preferred primary Equalizers.
