the alarm will return to its previous condition.

Taking Corrective Action

In the event that an issue was discovered with an installed application or line card, depending on the severity,
it may be necessary to take corrective action.
The system provides several redundancy and fail-over mechanisms to address issues with application and line
cards in order to minimize system downtime and data loss. These mechanisms are described in the sections
that follow.
