ABSTRACT:
A method of using cable test to modify teaming failover algorithm is disclosed. In accordance with one embodiment, a method of causing team member failover based on channel characteristics of a channel in an information handling system includes testing the channel of at least one of the team members in the information handling system. The method further includes comparing the channel characteristics of the team member to a minimum level of channel characteristics. The method further includes placing the team member into a standby mode such that the team member fails-over regardless of a link status of the channel, based on the comparison.
