Redundancy (Switch 8212zl)
Existing CLI Commands Affected by Redundant Management
Existing CLI Commands Affected by
Redundant Management
Several existing commands have changes related to redundant management.
Boot Command
In redundant management systems, the
boot
or
boot active
command causes a
switchover to the standby management module as long as the standby module
is in standby mode. This message displays:
This management module will now reboot and will become
the standby module! You will need to use the other
management module’s console interface. Do you want to
continue [y/n]?
If you select “y”, switchover is initiated by the standby management module,
which becomes the active management module after boot completes.
If the standby module is not in standby mode (for example, it is in failed mode
or offline mode), switchover to the standby module does not occur. The
system is rebooted. This message displays:
The other management module is not in standby mode and
this command will not cause a switchover, but will
reboot the system, do you want to continue [y/n]?
If the other management module is not present in the switch, the system
simply reboots.
The
boot
command has these options.
Command
Action
Boot <cr>
Reboots the active management module from the flash image
that is specified for the default boot. This can be changed
with the
boot set-default flash
command. You can select
which image to boot from during the boot process itself. See
Figure 15-22. The switch will switchover to the standby
management module.
Note
: This is changed from always booting from primary
flash. You are prompted with a message which will indicate
the flash being booted from.
