Showing High-Availability Settings and Operational Status
The
show system highavailability
command displays the following:
•
High-availability setting (enabled or disabled)
•
Versioning setting (enabled or disabled)
•
High-availability operational status (based on whether the standby supervisor engine is present and
operational). The operational status field displays one of the following:
–
OFF (high-availability-not-enabled): The high availability option in NVRAM is disabled.
–
OFF (standby-supervisor-not-present): The standby supervisor engine is not installed.
–
OFF (standby-supervisor-image-incompatible): The standby supervisor engine is running a
different image than the active supervisor engine and it is not version compatible (the versioning
option in NVRAM is enabled). No synchronization is done (even a configuration change in
NVRAM on the active supervisor engine cannot be propagated to the standby supervisor engine
because of the version incompatibility).
–
OFF (standby-supervisor-image-nvram-only-compat): The standby supervisor engine is
running a different image than the active supervisor engine (the versioning option in NVRAM
is enabled) and the image is only NVRAM compatible (a configuration change in NVRAM on
the active supervisor engine is propagated to the standby supervisor engine). However, high
availability cannot be supported.
