Review Test Plan Guidelines: The Test Plan guidelines in the Dell VxBlock Deploy Achievement
document outline the procedures for validating the redundancy capabilities of the network1.
Understand Redundancy Validation: Redundancy validation involves testing the network’s ability to
continue operating in the event of a component failure1.
Identify Redundancy Components: Top of Rack (ToR) switches are critical components that often have
redundancy built-in to ensure network resilience1.
Execute Redundancy Test: To validate redundancy, the primary ToR switch is powered off to simulate
a system failure. This tests the failover mechanisms and ensures that the secondary systems take
over without service disruption1.
Document and Analyze Results: After the test, the results are documented and analyzed to confirm
that redundancy measures are functioning as intended and that there is no loss of connectivity or
service1.
