If an AP blade is present: At the point of the failover an autoleveling process is activated.
Autoleveling is triggered when the active CP detects a blade that contains a different version of
the firmware, regardless of which version is older. Autoleveling downloads firmware to the AP
blade, swaps partitions, reboots the blade, and copies the new firmware from the primary
partition to the secondary partition. If you have multiple AP blades, they are updated
simultaneously; however, the downloads can occur at different rates.
Autoleveling takes place in parallel with the firmware download being performed on the CPs,
but does not impact performance. Fibre Channel traffic is not disrupted during autoleveling,
but GbE traffic on AP blades may be affected.
