Figure 21: Switchover CTP dialog box
If you click Enable Beaconing, the amber LED beacons (blinks) on the card that
was the active card before switchover.
If a redundant card has failed, or is not installed, choosing Switchover displays an
error message explaining that two operational cards must be installed to use this
feature.
SBAR Card Menu
Right-click an SBAR card in the Hardware View to display a menu with the
following options:
■ FRU Properties—Click this option to display an FRU Properties dialog box
for the card. The FRU Properties dialog box includes the FRU name, position
(slot number in the backplane), state (active, backup, or failed), part number,
and serial number.
■ Enable Card Beaconing—Click this option to add a check mark to the check
box and enable beaconing for the SBAR card. This causes the amber LED on
the card to flash to help you locate it in the unit. Note that you cannot enable
beaconing if the card has failed.
■ Switchover—Click this option to display the Switchover SBAR dialog box,
which is similar to the Switchover CTP dialog box shown in Figure 21. Click
Switchover to switch operation from the active card to the backup card. When
switchover occurs, the green LED illuminates on the backup SBAR card to
indicate that it is now the active card.
Note: You must have maintenance authorization rights to access this feature.
If you click Enable Beaconing, the amber LED beacons (blinks) on the card that
was the active card before switchover.
