Hi, I am afraid Andrew is quite right. The redundancy code was developed at DESY some 10 years ago. At DESY it is important to utilize the sequencer, this unfortunately nails us to 3.14.11 ( because of the implementation details), which is our working horse still. Currently we are looking into upgrading to a more recent version (3.15.8). But we have no roadmap for upgrading the redundancy code as of now, although it appears to compile with 3.15.8. Joerg.

Support for redundant IOCs has never been part of the core EPICS code nor is it maintained by the core developers group. It was developed by/for DESY but they don’t publish the code online. They are apparently no longer able to maintain it themselves,
and we don’t know if it works with recent versions of EPICS at all (to be honest it probably won’t). The last discussions here about it were in this message, this
one and this unanswered question.
If there are sites that are relying on this software they should probably get together and try to find some funding or developer expertise to maintain it.
