This table contains at most one entry representing a software synchronization process that is either currently in progress or one that was completed. When requested synchronization,the active s/w i image and the active configuration are copied to the alternate s/w image and configuration, respectively. A management station can create this entry if and only if either the table is empty or the only entry is for a synchronization that has already been completed. An attempt to create or write this entry when a synchronization is already in progress results in the 'resourceUnavailable' error status. The redlineSystemSwSyncAlternateStatus state object is used to control and monitor a s/w synchronization process. Setting it to the 'synchronizeAlternate' value starts a new synchronization if none is active at the time (otherwise an error status is returned).
