LAN Advanced Functions 2-39
Hitachi Compute Blade 500 Series LAN Advanced Function Manual (for Intel)
Example of Operating Advanced Function
Prerequisites
A fault tolerance team is comprised of LAN Device A (Intel(R) 82576 Gigabit Dual
Port Network Connection) and LAN Device B (Intel(R) 82576 Gigabit Dual Port
Network Connection #2). Do not set preference values such as primary and
secondary to both devices, and LAN Device A is automatically set to the Primary.
(Refer to “How to set Primary LAN Device” for setting preference.)
Operation
Suppose LAN Device A link is down when the network function is running. Fault
tolerance function makes LAN Device B take over the process. Even if LAN Device A
restores the linkup after a while, LAN Device B keeps processing.

1. When System Boots
 Event ID 7: Information
Adapter is initialized: Intel 82576 Gigabit Dual Port Network Connection
 Event ID 7: Information
Adapter is initialized: Intel 82576 Gigabit Dual Port Network Connection #2
 Event ID 15: Information
Adapter link up: Intel 82576 Gigabit Dual Port Network Connection
 Event ID 15: Information
Adapter link up: Intel 82576 Gigabit Dual Port Network Connection #2
 Event ID 8: Information
Team #<team ID>: Team is initialized.
Immediately after the system boots in setting Fault Tolerance, “Event ID 11:
Adapter link down: <member description>” may be generated. Since no
hardware failure occurs, use it as it is.
2. When Link Connection is down
 Event ID 11: Warning
Adapter link down: <member description>:
Intel 82576 Gigabit Dual Port Network Connection
 Event ID 10: Information
Current Primary Adapter is switching from: <member description>:
Intel 82576 Gigabit Dual Port Network Connection
 Event ID 12: Information
Secondary Adapter took over: <member description>:
