ProCurve Stack Management
Configuring Stack Management
8. Do one of the following:
| • If the stack containing the Member you are moving has a Manager |
| password, press the downarrow key to select the Candidate |
| Password field, then type the password. |
| • If the stack containing the Member you want to move does not |
| have a password, go to step 9. |
| 9. Press [Enter] to return to the Actions line, then press [S] (for Save) to |
| complete the Add process for the selected Member. You will then see a |
| screen similar to the one in figure |
| Member listed. |

|
N o t e : | If the message Unable to add stack member: Invalid Password appears in the |
| console menu’s Help line, then you either omitted the Manager password for |
| the stack containing the Member or incorrectly entered the Manager pass- |
| word. |
| You can “push” a Member from one stack to another by going to the Member’s |
| interface and entering the MAC address of the destination stack Commander |
| in the Member’s Commander MAC Address field. Using this method moves the |
| Member to another stack without a need for knowing the Manager password |
| in that stack, but also blocks access to the Member from the original |
| Commander. |

Using the Commander’s Menu To Remove a Stack Member. These rules affect removals from a stack:
■When a Candidate becomes a Member, its Auto Join parameter is automatically set to No. This prevents the switch from automatically rejoining a stack as soon as you remove it from the stack.
■When you use the Commander to remove a switch from a stack, the switch rejoins the Candidate pool for your IP subnet (broadcast domain), with Auto Join set to No.
■When you remove a Member from a stack, it frees the previously assigned switch number (SN), which then becomes available for assignment to another switch that you may subsequently add to the stack. The default switch number used for an add is the lowest unassigned number in the Member range (1 - 15; 0 is reserved for the Commander).
