Important:
When an SMC or SPIO failover occurs, the standby SMC or SPIO automatically becomes active.
However, should the failed card's error condition be corrected (by replacement or configuration change), the state of the
repaired SMC or SPIO does not automatically return to the active state. This migration must occur through manual
intervention by a system administrative user.
With the ability of performing on-line process migration, supporting 1:1 SMC and SPIO redundancy, and utilizing the
fully redundant switching fabric and control bus, single points of failure are eliminated from the switch fabric and
system management capabilities.
The following table shows various maintenance and failure situations involving the processing cards (PSC, PSC2, PPC),
Line Cards (LCs), and RCC cards; and explains how each situation is resolved. Note that LCs are not needed behind the
standby processing cards that provide redundancy.
