Statement

If system component failures are detected:

Ensure that the standby components are successfully and transparently installed within {{ insert: param, si-13.04_odp.01 }} ; and

{{ insert: param, si-13.04_odp.02 }}.

Guidance

Automatic or manual transfer of components from standby to active mode can occur upon the detection of component failures.

Assessment Objective: the standby components are successfully and transparently installed within {{ insert: param, si-13.04_odp.01 }} if system component failures are detected;

Assessment Objective: {{ insert: param, si-13.04_odp.02 }} are performed if system component failures are detected.
