MAINT_MODE_OFF in ACE-30

[mohammedrafiq]

         Hi,

Does anyone know how to enable maintance-mode in ACE and any disadvantages to enabling it in ACE-30 blade.

ACE-30/Admin#sh ft group 2 status

FT Group                     : 2
Configured Status            : in-service
Maintenance mode             : MAINT_MODE_OFF <--------------------------------
My State                     : FSM_FT_STATE_ACTIVE
Peer State                   : FSM_FT_STATE_STANDBY_HOT
Peer Id                      : 1
No. of Contexts              : 1
Running cfg sync status      : Running configuration sync has completed
Startup cfg sync status      : Startup configuration sync has completed
ACE-30/Admin#

Hello Mohammed-

You can not configure maintainence mode, it is an automatic state controlled internally to indicate error conditions.  Here is the information on the different states and why they are triggered:

Maintenance mode:
                                  Current maintenance mode of the local context in an FT group.
                                  Applications can turn on maintenance mode when there is an inability
                                  to communicate with the peer, license mismatches, too many application
                                  errors, and so on. Possible states are:

    •MAINT_MODE_OFF               Maintenance mode is turned off.

    •MAINT_MODE_PARTIAL           All standby contexts transition to the FSM_FT_STATE_STANDBY_COLD
                                  state (see the “My State” field description).
                                  The ACE enters this mode if configuration synchronization fails.

    •MAINT_MODE_FULL              All contexts on the ACE become nonredundant causing their peer
                                  contexts to become active. The ACE enters this mode just before
                                  you reboot the module and is
