[j-nsp] M series RE failover * subject change

[Eric Van Tol]

I, too, experienced something similar, however our HD problem caused an
SSB switchover.  Ensure that your 'redundancy keepalive-time' is not set
too low.  If this is set too low, the possibility exists of an
unnecessary switchover.

In my recent experience a chassis alarm was raised on active RE when the
HDD failed (console showed disk read/write errors) but no other change.
Ie keeps running on the active RE.

Active RE (with failed disk) continued to run for a while (~5 hours in
my case)
Eventually it appeared to get stuck on something (maybe trying to write
a log file to the dead HDD) and the backup RE took over after no
keep-alives.

This was with a 6.4-ish Junos running at the time.

Not sure if that is expected behaviour as I never did get around to
reading
the doco that covers this area.

Regards,

Tony
