Soaking?

[JCcisco123]

In the UCS their is a fault collection status called "soaking". I pulled this from the UCS guide. Can someone translate this into something I can understand?

When the fault is alleviated, it is cleared if the time between the fault being raised and the condition being

cleared is greater than the flapping interval, otherwise, the fault remains raised but its status changes to

soaking-clear.

JC,

Cleared - The condition has been resolved and the fault has been cleared.

Flapping - A fault was raised, cleared, and then raised again within a short time interval, known as the flap interval.

Soaking - A fault was raised and then cleared within a short time interval, known as the flap interval. Since this "may" be a flapping condition, the fault severity remains at its original active value, but this state indicates the condition that raised the fault has cleared.
