Recovering from Stacking Problems
If your Avid ISIS shared storage network has a serious problems as a result of the setup, it might
necessary to recover the stack. Here are a few possible problems:
•
Traffic loops were introduced
•
Switch does not have the right IP address
•
IP addresses seem to flipping; sometimes belonging to one switch, and then belonging to
another switch
Set One Switch Back to Default
The problem might only be with one particular switch or engine. If you think this is the case (for
example, a switch that was added does not have the right IP address), then perform the following.
To set a switch back to the default:
1. Disconnect the interconnect cables to both switches in the chassis of the problem switch. (If
the problem switch is an IXS, disconnect all stacking cables from each switch in the
chassis.)
2. In the Add/Remove Chassis page of the IXS, click Delete for the problem chassis.
3. Connect through the management port to the problem switch.
4. Use the management IP to go to the Switch Agent of the problem switch. For example
https://192.168.0.10:5015/.
5. Navigate to the “Advanced” page.
6. Under Switch Blade, click “Reset to factory defaults.”
7. Enter the password when prompted to reset the switch to defaults.
