RPM synchronization
Data between the two RPMs is synchronized immediately after bootup. Once the two RPMs have done an
initial full synchronization (block sync), thereafter FTOS only updates changed data (incremental sync).
The data that is synchronized consists of configuration data, operational data, state and status, and statistics
depending on the FTOS version.
Failover Type Synchronized Data
Warm Failover some NVRAM information, startup-configuration, line card configurations, user-access
configurations
Hot Failover some NVRAM information, startup-config, line card configurations, user-access
configurations, running-config, SFM and datapath states, run-time event log and
configuration, interface state

• you are performing a warm upgrade
from CONFIGURATION mode. View which RPM is the primary using the command
from EXEC Privilege mode, as shown in Figure 18-2.
