Adding a new node to stack failed - no neighbor

[holden]

Hi,
im trying to add a new x440p to an existing x440p stack of 2 devices.
Unfortunaly the stack doesnt see the new member in his list of show stacking.

i have already tried mayn times the steps in the concept guide and enabled switching, set slot number and license level. I have also checked that the same image from the same slot will be loaded.Stacking leds are all green.

But the new device doesnt come up in the stack.



on the new device

hi all

from sujit parab to All Participants:The stack MAC is either not configured or its configuration is not
consistent within the stack. The stack can not operate properly in this
condition. Please correct and reboot.

what would be the issue

please hep

[holden]

thanks, after setting any node to standard it finally works

What does show stacking stack-ports show on the new node ?
What does show log say from the new node.

Hi Nagaraj,

The error is seen because the EXOS images are installed in different partitions of master and the node which you are trying to synchronise. (For example, master booted with primary partition and the new switch booted with secondary partition). During the sync, the XOS image will also be synchronised with the target switch. So, it is necessary that the partitions are same.

To overcome this situation, please try to download and install the same image to the new switch in the partition same as the master's.

Command:
download image
