Endurance System Interconnect. The

collection of all path components in a CE to IOP

interconnect, including all MICs and MIC cables.

failout.

See

constant computing

failure.

An observable malfunction of a server

component.

fault management.

The process of detecting a

failure, diagnosing it, and continuing to process,

using either a failout or failover process. In

addition, this may include repairing one or more

component(s) and returning them to service in the

active server configuration.

faulted.

A state that indicates a component has

failed and has been removed from the active server

configuration. This state indicates one or more

failures were attributed to the component. A

component remains faulted until it is manually

repaired and enabled, using an Endurance

Manager or MTCCONS command.
