Master Switch Recovers From Failure; Stack Unit In Card-Problem State Due To Incorrect Ftos Version - Dell Force10 MXL Blade Configuration Manual

Master Switch Recovers from Failure

Problem: The master switch recovers from a failure after a reboot and rejoins the stack:
• As a member unit if there is already a standby
• As a standby if there is no standby in the stack
Protocol and control plane recovery requires time before the switch is fully online.
Resolution: When the entire stack is reloaded, the recovered master switch becomes the master unit of the
stack.

Stack Unit in Card-Problem State Due to Incorrect FTOS Version

Problem: A stack unit enters a Card-Problem state because the switch has a different FTOS version than
the master unit (Figure 31-19). The switch does not come online as a stack unit.
Resolution: To restore a stack unit with an incorrect FTOS version as a member unit, disconnect the
stacking cables on the switch and install the correct FTOS version. Then add the switch to the stack as
described in Adding a Stack
