Force VSM Active task
To force a switch to be the active switch from which configuration changes can be entered, select
the switch in the navigation tree, and then click Force VSM Active.
• In dual-switch configurations, this changes the switch status to VSM Active.
• In single-switch configurations, this changes the switch status to Not Redundant.
Helpful hints:
• Switch status must be one of the following to use this feature: Mismatch, VSM Passive, or Not
Configured.
• Firmware on both switches must be the same version.
VSM Event Log task
To view a log of switch and connected storage enclosure events, select the active switch in the
navigation tree, and then click VSM System Log.
The event log contains details of events, including hardware changes, user login activity, and CLI
output (for example, the output of the flashing operation.)
Entries are recorded for switch and storage enclosure events.
