| Description | The fault severity of a redundant unit, as calculated by
software. The value zero represents a good unit with no
detected faults. Higher values represent progressively more
serious faults. If it's not possible to determine any current
or prior severity information about a unit, the value unknown
should be returned.
Unlike some severity definitions, cRfSupCpuActiveSeverity
should not be downgraded when it switches from being Active.
The severity for a faulty Standby unit should correspond to
the system impact it would have if it were made to be the
Active unit, assuming the severity can be determined while
Standby.
The severity can be affected by either hardware or software
faults with the CPU itself. It can also be affected by faults
which prevent this CPU from interacting with one or more other
system components (such as linecards), even when the actual
faulty Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) is not the CPU itself.
As a minimum, the nonFaulty and fullyTrafficAffectingFault
values should be supported on any platform supporting this
object. Support of the other severity values is preferred,
but optional. |
