Consequences of Switchover

When a switchover occurs, the standby management module completes its
boot process and reloads all the interface modules. The ports are brought up
and the switch resumes switching and routing.

Resetting the Management Module

The MM Reset button found on each management module reboots its
management module. If the management module is active and redundancy is
enabled, switchover occurs. The standby management module is notified
immediately. It then takes over and becomes the active management module.
If the MM Reset button is pressed on the standby management module, that
module reboots but no other switch operations are affected. The active
management module remains in control.
If redundancy is disabled, the active management module reboots and remains
in control, as long as it passes selftest.
ProCurve does not recommend using the MM Reset button to trigger a
switchover. Files being copied over at the time of the reset will be aborted.
