Verifying Switchover Possibilities

This section describes how to verify the status of the switch and the modules before a switchover.

OL-16184-01, Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.x
When you manually initiate a switchover, system messages indicate the presence of two supervisor
modules.
A switchover can only be performed when two supervisor modules are functioning in the switch.
The modules in the chassis are functioning as designed.
Use the show system redundancy status command to ensure that the system is ready to accept a
switchover.
Use the show module command to verify the status (and presence) of a module at any time. A
sample output of the show module command follows:
switch# show module

The column in the output should display an
Status
status for supervisor modules. If the status is either
HA-standby
your configuration.
Use the show boot auto-copy command to verify the configuration of the auto-copy feature and if
an auto-copy to the standby supervisor module is in progress. Sample outputs of the show boot
auto-copy command follow:
switch# show boot auto-copy
Auto-copy feature is enabled
switch# show boot auto-copy list
No file currently being auto-copied
