Testing Redundancy

If your Selenio frame has both a primary and a secondary controller, you can test failover by clicking Failover for the controller in the Controller section of the screen. For module redundancy, first select the row in the Module Table. The parameters to the right of the Module Table update to display parameters, status, and buttons to test failover and failback for the specified module (indicated by the module’s slot number).

To test module redundancy, follow these steps.

1. Select a row in the Module Table.

   The parameters to the right of the Module Table update to display parameters, status, and buttons to test failover and failback for the specified module (indicated by the module’s slot number).

2. Click Failover for the module.
3. Check the Dashboard — Frame screen.

   The device that serves as backup for the module will indicate the device it is protecting.

   If DejaView is enabled for the slot, failover loads DejaView settings to the protecting module, so that it has the same configuration as the protected module. (See Configuring Module Faults .)

4. Return to the Configuration screen, and then click Failback for the module.

The modules reset so that the selected test module and protecting module perform their own standard functions again.

Note: If a module fails, after it is serviced, you need to manually failback the failed module to indicate that it is now operational. Failure to do so leaves the protecting module unavailable for protection operations.
