Description: The type of Fault Tolerance supplied by this logical adapter.

The following types of Fault Tolerance are supported:

unknown(1) Indicates that the instrument agent does not recognize the controller. You may need to upgrade the instrument agent.

none(2) Indicates the logical adapter is not fault tolerant. There is a single physical adapter associated with the logical adapter.

redundantPair(3) Indicates that the logical adapter has two adapters associated with it. One adapter is active and the other adapter is a hot standby. No longer used.

nft(4) Network Fault Tolerance. The logical adapter has two or more adapters associated with it. One adapter is active on the network and the other(s) are hot standby(s).

alb(5) Adaptive Load Balancing. Indicates that the logical adapter has more than one physical adapter associated with it. One adapter transmits and receives, while the others only transmit. If the receiving adapter fails, one of the other adapters assumes this role. No longer used.

fec(6) Fast EtherChannel. This allows all physical adapters associated with the logical adapter to both receive and transmit. This requires a switch that cooperates with the adapters. If any adapter fails, the load is spread among the remaining adapters. No longer used.

gec(7) Gigabit EtherChannel. This allows all physical adapters associated with the logical adapter to both receive and transmit. This requires a gigabit switch that cooperates with the adapters. If any adapter fails, the load is spread among the remaining adapters. No longer used.

ad(8) IEEE802.3ad Link Aggregation. This allows all physical adapters associated with the logical adapter to both receive and transmit. This requires a switch that cooperates with the adapters. If any adapter fails, the load is spread among the remaining adapters. No longer used.

slb(9) Switch-assisted load balancing. This allows all physical adapters associated with the logical adapter to both receive and transmit. This requires a switch that cooperates with the adapters. If any adapter fails, the load is spread among the remaining adapters. Aggregates fec, gec, and ad.

tlb(10) Transmit Load Balancing. Indicates that the logical adapter has more than one physical adapter associated with it. One adapter transmits and receives, while the others only transmit. If the receiving adapter fails, one of the other adapters assumes this role. Formerly alb.

redundancySet(11) Indicates that the logical adapter has more than one adapter associated with it. This value is used when the type of the team could not be determined.
