Chapter 2 HP NetServer AA Overview

IOP States

The IOP states are:

Faulted Indicates that the server removed the CE from operation as a result of one

or more faults that were attributed to the CE. The CE remains in this state

until it is repaired and an Endurance Manager CE Enable command is

issued.

Disabled Indicates that you issued an Endurance Manager CE Disable command

that removed the CE from operation. The CE remains in this state until it

is enabled using an Endurance Manager CE Enable command.

Sync-Slave Indicates the CE that is being activated by the server while the other CE is

already running the Windows NT operating system.

Sync-Master Indicates the CE that is running the Windows NT operating system while

the server is activating the other CE.

Table 2-5 IOP States

State Description

Offline Indicates that the IOP is not available for use in the server. The IOP is typically in this state if

it is powered down or if it cannot communicate with other IOPs because the Interconnects

between the IOP and the server are not usable.

Ready Indicates that the IOP is ready to become an active member of the server configuration. The

IOP remains in this state until it joins with another IOP, or until it boots the CE. Then, the

IOP transitions to active.

Initializing Indicates that the IOP is in the process of agreeing on the states of all server components and

parameters with the second IOP. As this process completes, the IOP transitions to active or

joining.

Initialized Indicates the transitional state an IOP enters at the completion of the IOP initialization process

just before it begins joining with the second IOP. Then, the IOP transitions to the joining

state.

Joining Indicates that the IOP is in the process of being joined into the active server configuration.

During this process, all providers perform initialization with their peers on the remote IOP,

and the IOP is activated into the server. Then, the IOP transitions to active.
