ABSTRACT:
Data bases of a first and second input output processor (IOP), which are primary and secondary slave IOPs, respectively, are synchronized, and communications by a master controller is made only to the first IOP. Each IOP is executing the same tasks utilizing their own clocking systems. A method for guaranteeing that the first and second data base remain synchronized comprises the steps of communicating a message to the first IOP to update the first data base. The second IOP eavesdrops on the communications, and when the second IOP recognizes that the message is to the corresponding primary slave IOP and that the first IOP has successfully received the message, accepts the message. The first IOP and the second IOP execute the received message. The master controller issues a status request type message to the first IOP, and then issues a status request type message to the second IOP. The controller verifies that responses to the status requests indicate the update of the respective first and second data bases was completed identically, thereby providing information which permits the master controller to guarantee the first and second data base remains synchronized after the update operation.
