An active PVX-RES remains active after a power cycle
The standby PVX-RES only becomes active if the active PVX-RES is removed or in case of manual
failover
If two PVX-RES modules are inserted into a frame and powered up at the same time, the PVX-RES in
the top slot will have higher priority.
You can control Redundancy settings via the Web based UI. See Redundancy Parameters.
Adding a Second Resource Module into a Platinum VX Frame
When a second Resource module is inserted into a frame that already has an active Resource module, it
influences the determination of the new active Resource module for the frame, based on 2 factors:
Its role in the previous frame it was in (whether it was Active or Redundant)
Its position in the new frame it is inserted into (whether it is inserted into Slot 1 or the Slot 2 of the
frame)
Whether it is inserted when the frame is operational or powered down
For example, if a frame containing a single active Resource module in Slot 2 is powered down before
inserting a second Resource module (that was previously active in another frame) into Slot 1, when the
frame is powered up again, the newly inserted Resource Module in Slot 1 becomes the active one and
retains the route configurations of the frame it was previously in.
To maintain the precedence of the existing (active) Resource module in your frame, it is recommended
that you:
Insert a second Resource module while the frame is operational, without powering it down and wait
for the synchronization process to complete.
Ensure the existing Resource module is in Slot 1 of your frame
Ensure the inserted Resource module is put into Slot 2 of the frame
