I have two x460-48t switches configured in a stack. I want to create a procedure for replacing one of them if it fails. I searched and found a similar question from a year ago. But the document that was offered as a solution is no longer available to download. Can someone please help me out?
We will have a spare running the same XOS on the same partition as the active/backup nodes. So we can remove the failed node and install the spare. The necessary commands to add the new node and synchronize the stack is what I'm not clear on. Thanks a lot
The following could make life easier when you have to change the master node:
Log into the master-node "run failover" if you have still the possibility. Now the master node becomes the backup node! And proceed like described under the link.
Maybe an idea to think about is to configure stacks always with "configure stacking redundancy maximal" and to give priorities.
conf stacking redundancy maximal
conf stacking slot 1 prio 100
conf stacking slot 2 prio 90
conf stacking slot 3 prio 70
conf stacking slot 4 prio 60
Particularly when they are from the same switch typ.
Then you don't have to think a about the master-capability!
