Added unused/new switch to stack now I get pending-aaa on console port

[Joe10]

I added another x440-48p to my existing stack. I did not set up the existing stack. I enabled and synched the new node, but I get the "pending-aaa" prompt on the console port. Rebooting did not help. As I recall the only difference in the switch's was the bootrom the new switch had 2.0.1.7 while the old nodes are running 2.0.1.6. I was under the impression this was not an issue, they all have EXOS 15 in particuler if memory serves me right all 3 have 15.2.2.7. Show version shows N/A for the new slot (slot 3). Do I need to remove and reset the new slot and downgrade the bootrom? Show stacking details only returns info on the first 2 nodes not node 3.

1) Disconnect the stacking cable from the switch which is stuck on pending-AAA

2)Power cycle the switch which is stuck on pending-AAA and go into the bootrom. To go in bootrom, you have to press spacebar while booting.

3)Execute the commnad "config none" and "reboot as MASTER-CAPABLE".

4) The switch will boot normally.

5) To build stack, software version and license should exactly match with existing slot module which are in stack.

Let me know if have any doubt on this.
