That is the server arbiter telling you that the servers switched because you lost an IPSI. The default is that the servers will switch if it thinks the other server has a better chance at controlling all the IPSIs.

pcd 08/09 means you have a total of 9 IPSI connected port networks, of which this server has control of 8 of them.

In the "change IPSI 1" form, you can administer "Ignore Connectivity in Server Arbitration? n"

If that setting is at "no", then it will not be ignored, and network connectivity issues to that single IPSI will cause your servers to interchange. If it's at a remote site with questionable WAN, you might want to set that to "yes" to ignore that IPSI for the purpose of server interchanges. That, and look through your alarm and error logs to see which IPSI is the cause of it and figure those problems out.

IP SERVER INTERFACE (IPSI) ADMINISTRATION - PORT NETWORK 9

IP Control? y Ignore Connectivity in Server Arbitration? y
Encryption? y

PRIMARY IPSI QoS AND ETHERNET SETTINGS
Location: 9A01 Use System Level Parameter Values? y
Subnet Mask: /25 802.1p: 6
IP Address: 10.194.180.81 DiffServ: 46
Gateway: 10.194.180.1 Auto? y


should I change to ' Y '..???

You can change it to yes. You still need to identify which of the 9 IPSIs was losing network connectivity to know which one to change.

You should still troubleshoot why you're losing a port network
