Figure 7.2 PES16NT2 NTB Upstream Port Failover Architecture
Failover
An upstream NTB port failover may be initiated statically through a fundamental reset or dynamically
while the system is running.
A static NTB upstream port failover occurs when the state of the switch mode (SWMODE[3:0]) signals is
modified and a fundamental reset is initiated. This results in the PES16NT2 operating in the mode selected
by the switch mode signals in the boot configuration vector (i.e., a non-transparent mode or a non-trans-
parent mode with failover). Since a fundamental reset is initiated in a static failover, it results in a complete
loss of system state.
Dynamic NTB upstream port failover allows the operating mode of the PES16NT2 to be modified from
normal to failover or failover to normal while the system is running and without a fundamental reset.
Dynamic NTB upstream port failover may be configured to operate in a state-preserving manner. See
section System State Preservation on page 7-4 for information on preserving system state during an a
Dynamic upstream port failover.
