The Controller object defines a group of adaptors controlled by a processor card.
The MetaSwitch VP3500 or MG3500 contains two controllers, so that you can achieve resilience and fault tolerance by using redundant resources associated with each of the two controllers. These controllers are identified in the EMS as Controller A and Controller B.
The MetaSwitch VP3510 or MG3510 contains two controllers A and B, as for the VP3500 or MG3500, which manage the adaptors that are controlled over the PCI Bus within the chassis. It also contains a third controller, identified in the EMS as Controller cPSB, which manages the adaptors that are controlled over Ethernet. An Adaptor object can be a child of any one of these three Controller objects.
The MetaSwitch VP2510 or MG2510 contains three controllers A, B, and cPSB. An Adaptor object is always a child of the cPSB Controller.
This object is pre-configured (configuration information is delivered with the NE), and you cannot create or delete it, but the object provides status information about the Controller and its adaptors.
Each Controller object is a child of the Line Cards object.

Alarm events reset timestamp | Read only | The time at which the Attention Required alarm events was last reset to zero. |
Adaptor Attention Required alarms | Read only | The total number of Attention Required alarms for Adaptors (and their child objects) associated with this Controller. |
Adaptor Attention Required alarm events | Read only / Reset | The total number of times that the alarm state for an Adaptor (or one of its child objects) has gone to Attention Required. |
Adaptor Attend To Dependent alarms | Read only | The total number of Attend To Dependent alarms for Adaptors (and their child objects) associated with this Controller. |
Adaptor Attend To Dependent alarm events | Read only / Reset | The total number of times that the alarm state for an Adaptor (or one of its child objects) has gone to Attend To Dependent. |
Summary child alarm state | Read only | Summarizes the alarm status for all children of this object. Values:
