While installing a three frame Synergy solution, only two of the frames are identified during the discovery process. What should you do to get resolution?

Question

Options

• ARemove and re-insert the standby Composer
• BIssue a refresh command to the enclosure
• COpen the front panel of the Composer, and read the error message
• DValidate Frame Link Module topology

• A

• B
  8% (2)
• C
  4% (1)
• D
  84% (21)

Explanation

Validating the Frame Link Module (FLM) topology is correct because FLMs are responsible for inter-frame communication and form the management ring that enables the Composer to discover all connected frames - if one frame is missing from discovery, the most likely cause is a broken or misconfigured FLM link between frames.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Remove/re-insert standby Composer): The standby Composer handles redundancy, not frame discovery; reseating it won't repair an inter-frame communication break.
• B (Issue a refresh command): A refresh re-polls already-known topology; it cannot discover a frame that was never reached due to a physical or logical FLM connectivity gap.
• C (Read front panel error on Composer): This is a diagnostic step that might surface an error message, but reading an error doesn't resolve the discovery failure - you still need to fix the root cause.

Memory tip: Think of FLMs as the "chain links" between frames in a multi-frame Synergy ring. If a frame is missing, a broken chain link (FLM topology issue) is almost always the culprit - validate the chain first.
