OME-Modular is unavailable during this process. You must have the chassis administrator privilege to start a failover. NOTE: After a failover, the chassis management performance returns to normal in a few minutes. NOTE: During a failover, the chassis power state on the OME-Modular GUI is displayed as "off". The original power state is displayed after the inventory is refreshed. Logging in to OME-Modular 35
