Parameter 
State Decription 
MAJREVISION  Incompatible  The partner’s Major revision is not supported.   
MINREVISION  Incompatible  The partner’s Minor revision is not supported.   
PLATFORM  Incompatible  Mismatched compatibility types (i.e. different platform 
firmware).   
OPMNOTIMPL  Incompatible  Incompatible indication for those platforms sensitive to 
difference in firmware versions when firmware versions 
differ and the platform does not support OPM (there are 
no known examples of this platform type).   
OPMSEQUENCE  Incompatible  Attempting to migrate across more than one major 
release.  For example, migration between R101 and 
R300 is not allowed.   
NodeNumber  Incompatible  Device Indexes of potential redundant partner modules 
are not properly configured as consecutive odd/even 
pair.   
HardwareType  Incompatible  Mismatched factory data (i.e. different platform 
hardware).   
FirmwareType  Incompatible  Mismatched compatibility types (i.e. different platform 
firmware).   
MessageFmt  Incompatible  The partner compatibility message format is undefined 
or not supported.   
PartnBootFmw  Incompatible  The partner module is executing from boot firmware 
(e.g. partner is in the Alive, Ready, or Fail State).  To 
be compatible, both partners must be executing from 
application firmware.   
 
Synchronization states 
The RDNSYNCSTATE parameter indicates the controller’s synchronization state.  
Given a redundant controller pair, synchronization is the act of transferring configuration 
and execution data from the primary controller to the secondary so that the secondary has 
the same information as the primary when it is needed to transition into the primary role.  
Synchronization is only possible for a compatible redundant controller pair; when a 
compatible partner is found, the controller transitions from the ‘No Partner State’ to the 
‘Partner Visible State.’  Initial-sync is the act of performing first time transfer of 
synchronization data; during this time the controllers are in the ‘Sync in Progress’ State.  
The redundant controller pair enters the ‘Synchronization Maintenance State’ upon 
initial-sync completion.  While in the Synchronization Maintenance State, the secondary
