1. A redundant service processor configuration, comprising: a first processor in a first node for operating elements in the first node; a first control line operatively connecting the first processor to a first multiplexer in the first node, wherein the first processor controls the first multiplexer to initialize the elements in the first node; a second processor in a second node for operating elements in the second node, the second node being adjacent to the first node; a second control line operatively connecting the second processor to a second multiplexer, wherein the second processor controls the second multiplexer to initialize the elements in the second node; the first control line from the first processor being connected to the second multiplexer; the second control line from the second processor being connected to the first multiplexer; wherein the first processor is active in the first node and the second processor is active is active in the second node; wherein in response to a failure of the second processor: the first processor operates the first multiplexer to initialize the elements of the first node; the second processor is switched off; the first processor operates the second multiplexer to initialize the elements of the second node; wherein in response to a failure of the first processor: the second processor operates the second multiplexer to initialize the elements of the second node; the first processor is switched off; the second processor operates the first multiplexer to initialize the elements of the adjacent first node.
