Event Classes
Event Class
Description
Qualification Event
An event that is related to chassis qualification.
For example, the qualification process succeeded.
Disqualification Event
An event that is related to chassis disqualification.
For example, the Disqualify Secondary command was issued.
Switchover Event
An event that is related to a chassis switchover.
For example, the Initiate Switchover command was issued.
RM Fault Event
One of the redundancy modules had a major or minor fault.
For recovery information, see the Code field in the fault log on the Module Info tab. See Redundancy Module Faults.
User configuration change event
A redundancy module configuration parameter has been changed. For example, if you change the Auto-synchronization parameter from Always to Never, an event that is classified as Configuration is logged.
Redundancy state has changed
The state of a redundancy module changed. For example, the redundancy module lost its partner.
Chassis State Changed
The state of the redundant chassis pair changed. For example, the redundancy status changed from disqualified secondary to qualified secondary.
Idle Qualified
An event occurred while the chassis was in an idle qualified state. The event caused the chassis to leave the idle qualified state.
Idle Disqualified
An event occurred while the chassis was in an idle disqualified state. The event caused the chassis to leave the idle disqualified state.
