The system states of the fault-tolerant system
The system states of the fault-tolerant system result from the operating states of the two
CPUs. The term "system state" is used as a simplified term which identifies the concurrent
operating states of the two CPUs.
Example: Instead of "the master CPU is in RUN and the standby CPU is in LINK-UP mode"
we say "the fault-tolerant system is in link-up mode".
Overview of system states
The table below provides an overview of the possible states of the fault-tolerant system.
