Ground-based software tool for controlling redundancy management switching operations
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- a device comprising;
at least two data processing systems arranged to perform redundant operations, wherein at least one of the at least two data processing systems serves as a master;
control logic arranged to determine which of the at least two data processing systems is a master; and
memory arranged for storing data values used by the control logic to determine which of the at least two data processing systems is a master; and
a computer configured to execute a ground based software tool, wherein the ground-based software tool includes a component configured to allow a user to change at least one of the stored data values used by the control logic to determine which of the at least two data processing systems is a master.

10. A method comprising:
-
altering at least one redundancy management data value associated with redundancy management logic at a computer; saving the altered data value on a removable storage device; sending the at least one altered redundancy management data value from the removable storage device to memory included in an apparatus, wherein (1) the apparatus includes at least two data processing systems, (2) at least one of the at least two data processing systems serves as a master, and (3) the at least two data processing systems perform redundant operations and execute redundancy management based on the one or more redundancy management data values stored in the memory; and using the at least one altered redundancy management data value to determine which of the at least two data processing systems serves as a master. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
