Unconfiguring an IronStack

The stack unconfigure command is a run time command that returns stack units to their
pre-stacking state. When a stack unit is unconfigured, its stacking flash is removed, and its
startup-config.txt flash file is recovered. These actions apply to all units to which this command is
applied, regardless of the role of the unit in the stack.
When the stack unconfigure command is applied to the Active Controller, it removes stack enable
from the run time configuration but not from the startup configuration. If you want to remove stack
enable from the Active Controller permanently, you must enter the write memory command.
When the stack unconfigure command is applied to the Standby Controller or a stack member
(besides the Active Controller) it removes stack enable from the recovered startup-config.txt and
resets the unit.
When a stack unit that did not have an original startup-config file is unconfigured, it becomes a
clean unit. It is possible that this unit could automatically rejoin the stack if its module
configuration matches that of the Active Controller. To prevent this from happening accidentally, it
is best to first disconnect the unit, and then issue the stack unconfigure me command on it.
To remove the configuration from a specific IronStack unit, or from the entire stack, enter a
command similar to the following.
PowerConnect# stack unconfigure 3
Syntax: stack unconfigure <stack-unit> | all | me | clean| rollback]
