LAN Advanced Functions 2-71
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 when LAN Device A is automatically set to the
Primary. (Refer to “How to Set Priority to LAN Device: Primary/Secondary” for the
setting.)
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.
OS Event Log to be recorded: System Log (Source: iANS Miniport)
1. When a server blade boots up
 Event ID 7: Information
Adapter is initialized: Intel(R) 82576 Gigabit Dual Port Network Connection
 Event ID 7: Information
Adapter is initialized: Intel(R) 82576 Gigabit Dual Port Network Connection
#2
 Event ID 15: Information
Adapter link up: Intel(R) Gigabit Dual Port Network Connection
 Event ID 15: Information
Adapter link up: Intel(R) Gigabit Dual Port Network Connection #2
 Event ID 8: Information
Team #<team ID>: Team is initialized.
Immediately after a server blade boots in setting Fault Tolerance, “Event ID
11: Adapter link down: <member description>” may be generated in the
event log. Since no hardware failure occurs, use it as it is.
2. When Link Connection is down
 Event ID 11: Warning
Adapter link down: Intel(R) 82576 Gigabit Dual Port Network Connection
 Event ID 10: Information
Current Primary Adapter is switching from: Intel(R) 82576 Gigabit Dual Port
Network Connection
 Event ID 12: Information
Secondary Adapter took over: Intel(R) 82576 Gigabit Dual Port Network
Connection #2
