Adapter Qualification
In a Redundant Adapter configuration, one adapter takes the Primary role and
a second adapter becomes Qualified Secondary ready to take I/O control in the
event that the primary becomes disqualified.
To complete the qualification process the following conditions must be met.
The modules must:
• have the same firmware revision.
• reside in slots 0 and 1 of the same chassis.
• be initially set to the same IP address.
• have at least one Ethernet port link active.
• be connected to the same Ethernet network.
