System Configuration File
If there are more than one serial ports on the WV-ASC970 Server, you need to enter the correct port number in the
[REDUNDANT] section of the sys.ini file.
For Manual Switchover Operation
1. Connect the Ethernet cable between the SYSTEM CONTROLLER ports of both WV-ASC970 Servers.
(SERIAL ports are not used for MANUAL operation.)
2. Turn on the "Redundant" check box on Admin Console's Domain>CPU Units>Unit tab and input the backup
WV-ASC970 Server's IP Address to "Backup IPA" field.
3. Select the "Man (Redundant Manual Switchover)" radio button, and then click the "Mode" button.
4. Put the global database to both WV-ASC970 Servers and reboot both.
Note:
• If the global database is put to only one WV-ASC970 Server, the redundant function does not work properly.
5. By using the Admin Console, click the "Get CPU Status" button on Unit tab.
6. After Admin Console get the current WV-ASC970 status, click the "Switch Active CPU" button. At this point, the
dialog box will be displayed. Select "Switchover", then click "OK" button.
7. The Active WV-ASC970 Server reboots automatically, and moves to Standby state. Another WV-ASC970 Server
moves to Active state.
For Automatic Switchover Operation
1. Connect the 9-pin D-sub cross cable (locally procured) between the SERIAL ports of both WV-ASC970 Servers,
and connect the Ethernet cable between the SYSTEM CONTROLLER ports of the Servers.
2. Turn on the "Redundant" check box on Admin Console's "Domain" > "CPU Units" > "Unit" tab and input the
backup WV-ASC970 Server's IP Address to "Backup IPA" field.
3. Select the "Auto (Redundant Auto Switchover)" radio button and then, click the "Mode" button.
4. Put the global database to both WV-ASC970 Servers and turn off both servers.
Note:
• If the global database is put to only one WV-ASC970 Server, the redundant function does not work properly.
• When activating automatic switchover operation, user should not register a controller to the SERIAL port in the
CONTROLLERS menu of admin console.
5. Turn on Main WV-ASC970 Server first. After it ups, turn on Backup WV-ASC970 Server.
6. When a fatal application software error happens in the Active WV-ASC970 Server, the Standby one will switcho-
ver automatically.
When a fatal OS system error happens in the Active WV-ASC970 Server, the Standby one may automatically
switch-over but the Active WV-ASC970 Server may need to reset manually.
Note:
• If the Standby WV-ASC970 Server also has fatal error, the switchover is not performed.
• When the 9-pin D-sub cross cable is disconnected, the Standby WV-ASC970 Server will become Active, and
the Active WV-ASC970 Server will reboot.
WV-ASC970 Redundant Monitor Software
Administrator or Operator can perform the switchover operation by using the "Redundant Monitor" software includ-
ed in WV-ASC970 CD-ROM. Refer to the "Server Installer/Utility Operation Guide", "Redundant Monitor" section.
