4. DUPLEX STANDBY SPE MODES
The modes of the standby SPE can be classified into one of the following
four areas: Standby Mode, Busyout Modes, Maintenance Modes and
Down Modes.
5. STANDBY MODE
■ standby This SPE is held reset, its memory is being shadowed from
the active SPE, and is ready to take over the functions being
performed by the active SPE.
6. BUSYOUT MODES
Busyout modes occur when the standby SPE has been busied out via the
busyout spe-standby command. The active SPE could be either active
or selected when the standby SPE is in one of the Busyout modes.
■ busyout/idle This standby SPE has been busied out and no
maintenance activity is currently taking place. The active SPE could
be either active or selected.
■ busyout/entering This standby SPE has been busied out and is
currently in the process restarting the switch software on this SPE.
As soon as the switch software on this SPE finishes its initialization,
the standby SPE will be ready to perform SAT requested
maintenance functions on the standby SPE and the mode will
change.
■ busyout/testing This standby SPE has been busied out, however
the switch software on this SPE has been restarted and is currently
in the process of executing a SAT demanded test command.
■ busyout/not-refreshed This standby SPE has been busied out,
however the busyout spe-standby command was executed at a
time when the standby memory was not refreshed. The standby
SPE will not be able to perform any maintenance or SAT requested
activities until a successful refresh spe-standby command is
executed.
■ busyout/list-config This standby SPE has been busied out,
however the switch software on this SPE has been restarted and is
currently in the process of executing a SAT demanded list
configuration command.
■ busyout/status This standby SPE has been busied out, however
the switch software on this SPE has been restarted and is currently
in the process of executing a SAT demanded status card-mem
command.
7. MAINTENANCE MODES
Maintenance modes occur when the standby SPE is taken out of standby
mode to perform a maintenance or SAT requested function. Unlike the
busyout and down modes, being in maintenance mode implies this SPE
can be returned to standby mode when the requested activity is
