About Clock Modules
All switches in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family have two clock modules—Module A (primary) and Module
B (redundant). The clock modules are designed, tested, and qualified for mission-critical availability
with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 3,660,316 hours. This translates to a potential failure
every 365 years. Additionally, Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches are designed to automatically switch
to the redundant clock module should the active clock module fail.
We recommend that the failed clock module be replaced during a maintenance window.
Tip
Use the show environment clock command to display the status for both clock modules (see
Example
