Synchronization can occur:
• automatically
Automatic synchronization is disabled by default. To enable automatic
synchronization, run the config>redundancy>synchronize command with the
boot-env parameter or the config parameter.
When the boot-env parameter is specified, the BOF, boot.ldr, configuration, and
image files are automatically synchronized. When the config parameter is
specified, only the configuration files are automatically synchronized.
Automatic synchronization also occurs whenever the BOF is modified and when
an admin>save command is entered with no filename specified.
• manually
To execute synchronization manually, run the admin>redundancy>
synchronize command with the boot-env parameter or the config parameter.
When the boot-env parameter is specified, the BOF, boot.ldr, configuartion, and
image files are synchronized. When the config parameter is specified, only the
configuration files are synchronized.
The following output is an example of information displayed during a manual
synchronization of configuration files.

6.4.1 Active and Standby Designations on 7210 SAS-R6
and 7210 SAS-R12
Typically, the first Switch Fabric (SF) or CPM card installed in a redundant
7210 SAS-R6 and 7210 SAS-R12 chassis assumes the active CPM role, regardless
of whether it is inserted in slot A or B. The next CPM installed in the same chassis
then assumes the standby CPM role. If two CPMs are inserted simultaneously (or
almost simultaneously) and boot at the same time, preference is given to the CPM
installed in slot A.
If only one CPM is installed in a redundant 7210 SAS-R6 and 7210 SAS-R12, it
becomes the active CPM regardless of the slot it is installed in.
