Figure 26.14 Active/Active System Configuration Before Failover Event
The serial EEPROM configures the GPIO pins 0 and 1 to operate in alternate function 0 mode.
–
GPIO 0 acts as a partition fundamental reset input for partition 0 (i.e., PART0PERSTN).
–
GPIO 1 acts as a partition fundamental reset input for partition 1 (i.e., PART1PERSTN).
The serial EEPROM configures the switch’s event signaling mechanism such that partition fundamental
reset events in partitions 0 or 1 are notified to the other partition. This allows a root complex to track the
event of a partition fundamental reset occurring in the partition associated with the other root complex. The
serial EEPROM configures the switch’s automatic failover mechanism as follows:
–
Failover capability 0 and 1 are configured to respond to a software initiated failover by setting the
FSWTRIG bit in the FCAP0CTL and FCAP1CTL registers.
–
Ports 0, 4 and 6 are configured to respond to failover capability 1.
–
Port 0 is configured to respond to primary and secondary failover events by programming fields
in the SWPORT0FCTL register as follows:
• PFMODE = SFMODE = 0x5 (i.e., primary and secondary failover mode is set to unattached port)
–
Ports 4 and 6 are configured to respond to primary and secondary failover events by programming
fields in the SWPORT4FCTL and SWPORT6FCTL registers as follows:
• PFMODE = SFMODE = 0x1 (i.e., primary and secondary failover mode is set to downstream
port)
• PFSWPART = SFSWPART = 0x1 (i.e., primary and secondary failover partition is set to partition
1)
• PFDEVNUM = SFDEVNUM = 0x4 (for port 4) and 0x6 (for port 6)
–
In addition, ports 0, 4 and 6 are configured to be reset during the failover operation by program-
ming the OMA field in the corresponding SWPORTxCTL registers to a value of 0x1.
Resetting these ports is desired in this scenario so that when the failover operation takes place,
the root complex to which these ports are assigned finds the ports in a non-configured state.
In addition, resetting the downstream ports causes the port’s links to be retrained from the
Detect state, thereby causing a hot reset to any devices downstream.
–
Ports 8, 12 and 16 are configured to respond to failover capability 0.
–
Port 8 is configured to respond to primary and secondary failover events by programming fields
in the SWPORT8FCTL register as follows:
