Symptoms

On page 206 of SL8500 Users Guide, - Redundant Electronics Operations 

On IP Addresses:

Each library controller card requires its own unique IP address. If the the Dual TCP/IP feature is active on the library, then each card requires two unique IP addresses: one for the primary port (2B) and one for the secondary (2B).

Does the statement correct? "and one for the secondary (2B)"  or "2B" should mean "2A",

If the statement is correct  "and one for the secondary (2B)  does   "2B" refers to the standby HBC as secondary.?

Cause

 Mis-worded documentation.

Solution

Each library controller card requires its own unique IP address. If the the Dual TCP/IP feature is active on the library, then each card requires two unique IP addresses: one for the primary port (2B) and one for the secondary (2B).

-This statement is miss-worded; in an RE configuration there is a Side_A and Side_B and each side has one HBCR<library controller> card with public IP ports that attach to the Host for library control.

-Port_2B is the standard primary port for each side. The minimum requirement is a unique address for each side; Side_A Port_2B and Side_B Port_2B. Port_2A is a secondary port used with the optional Dual TCP/IP feature. If Dual TCP/IP is installed then a total of 4 unique IP addresses are required.

This statement should state; “Each library controller card requires its own unique IP address. If the the Dual TCP/IP feature is active on the library, then each card requires two unique IP addresses: one for the primary port (2B) and one for the secondary (2A).
