Notes
Partition reconfiguration may be initiated by software through modification of the operating mode of a
port, or initiated automatically as the result of a failover. When the Failover Enable (FEN) bit is set in the
Switch Port Control (SWPORTxCTL) register, automatic failover reconfiguration is enabled. A failover is
initiated when the failover capability selected by the Failover Capability Select (FCAPSEL) field in the
SWPORTxCTL register triggers a failover. See Chapter 6 for more information on the failover capability
structure.
A failover capability structure may initiate a primary failover or a secondary failover. A primary failover
event signaled by the capability structure selected by the FCAPSEL field has the following effect on a port.
–
The new port operating mode specified by the PFMODE, PFSWPART and PFDEVNUM fields in
the SWPORTxFCTL register are copied into the corresponding fields in the SWPORTxCTL
register.
–
If these new values result in a port operating mode change, then the OMCI bit in the
SWPORxTSTS register is set and the OMCC bit is set when the mode change completes.
–
The Primary Failover Status (PFAILOVER) bit is set in the SWPORTxSTS register.
A secondary failover event signaled by the capability structure selected by the FCAPSEL field has the
following effect on a port.
–
The new port operating mode specified by the SFMODE, SFSWPART and SFDEVNUM fields in
the SWPORTxFCTL register are copied into the corresponding fields in the SWPORTxCTL
register.
–
If these new values result in a port operating mode change, then the OMCI bit in the
SWPORTxSTS register is set and the OMCC bit is set when the mode change completes.
• The Secondary Failover Status (SFAILOVER) bit is set in the SWPORTxSTS register.
A failover event may also trigger a modification in the state of a partition. When the Failover Enable
(FEN) bit is set in the Switch Partition Failover Control (SWPARTxCTL) register, automatic failover reconfig-
uration is enabled. A failover is initiated when the failover capability selected by the Failover Capability
Select (FCAPSEL) field in the SWPARTxCTL triggers a failover.
A primary failover event signaled by the capability structure selected by the FCAPSEL field has the
following effect on the partition.
–
The Primary Failover State (PFSTATE) field in the Switch Partition Failover Control
(SWPARTxFCTL) register is copied into the STATE field of the SWPARTxCTL register. If this
results in a value change in the contents of the STATE field, then the SCI bit in the SWPARTxSTS
register is set and the SCC bit is set when the state change completes.
–
The Primary Failover Status (PFAILOVER) bit is set in the SWPARTxSTS register.
A secondary failover event signaled by the capability structure selected by the FCAPSEL field has the
following effect on the partition.
–
The Secondary Failover State (SFSTATE) field in the Switch Partition Failover Control
(SWPARTxFCTL) register is copied into the STATE field of the SWPARTxCTL register. If this
results in a value change in the contents of the STATE field, then the SCI bit in the SWPARTxSTS
register is set and the SCC bit is set when the state change completes.
–
The Secondary Failover Status (SFAILOVER) bit is set in the SWPARTxSTS register.
A failover event that causes both partition reconfiguration as well as partition state change has the
following execution order.
1. Port reconfiguration is executed first.
2. Once all port reconfiguration has completed, the partition state change is performed.
