Update SNMP After a Redundant Electronics Switch (SL3000, SL8500)

If STA is configured to support Redundant Electronics (RE) and a controller card switch occurs, STA maintains a connection with the library through the port specified as the secondary library IP address. However, you must also perform a manual procedure after the switch completes.

  1. Wait 15 minutes after the newly active controller card has fully initialized.
  2. Perform a connection test to verify the library SNMP connection. See Test the Library Connection.
  3. Perform a data collection to retrieve the current library configuration data. See Manually Collect Library Data.
  4. If a controller card is replaced after the RE switch, the IP address for the library changes, so you must reenter the SNMP connection information in STA. See Configure the SNMP Connection to a Library.
