Scenario
Acceptance criteria
Outcome
Verification parameters for the wanted outcome
Main server is duplicated and PE interface is not used
PE interface is not enabled (no ESS server is provided and no IP endpoints are controlled by PE interface)
Status Summary page shows:
  • PE connection is not functional on both servers
  • PE connection is not functional on both servers
  • PE Interface is set to
  • PE Interchange Priority is set to
  • Functional Assignment for eth0 does not include PE on the Network Configuration page
  • PE Interchange Priority is set to
Main server is duplicated and PE interface is used
PE Interface is enabled on the main server and the ESS server (either ESS server is provided or IP endpoints are controlled by PE interface, or both)
Status Summary page shows:
  • PE connection is not functional on both servers
  • PE priority is set to the same value (but not IGNORE) for both servers
  • PE Interface is set to one of the Ethernet interfaces on the Set Identities page
  • PE Interchange Priority is set to the same value (but not IGNORE) on the Configure Interfaces page on both servers
  • Functional Assignment for eth0 includes Processor Ethernet on the Network Configuration page
  • PE Interchange Priority is set to the same value (but not IGNORE) on the Duplication Parameters page on both servers
Either the main server or the ESS server is duplicated
–
Current Alarms page (or running almdisplay -v on the command prompt) shows no active _PE alarms for up to 15 minutes after both servers have been running as an active or standby pair
