Redundancy (Switches 8200zl)
Downloading a Software Version Serially if the Management Module is Corrupted
Downloading a Software Version
Serially if the Management Module is
Corrupted
If the software version on a management module becomes corrupted, you may
need to do a serial download to restore the affected module. The non-
corrupted management module becomes the active module. You can then use
the serial port on the corrupted management module to download a new
software version. When the corrupted module is rebooted, the software
version in the corrupted module is immediately overwritten by the software
version in the active management module. Both management modules should
now be operating on the same software version.
Turning Off Redundant Management
Disabling Redundancy with Two Modules Present
In some cases, for troubleshooting a suspect management module you may
want to operate the switch with redundant management disabled by entering
this command:
ProCurve(config)# no redundancy management-module
After executing this command, the second management module will not boot
into standby mode; it is off line and no longer receives configuration file
changes from the active module. The active management module updates its
config file with the information that redundancy is disabled.
