Figure 15-3. Example of Disabling RedundancyDirecting the Standby Module to Become Active

To make the standby management module become the active management module, use the redundancy switchover command. The switch will switchover after all files have finished synchronizing. This may take a couple of minutes if there have been recent configuration file changes or if you have downloaded a new operating system. The standby module finishes booting and becomes the active module. The formerly active module becomes the standby module if it passes selftest.

Syntax: redundancy switchover

Causes an immediate switchover to the standby module. The warning displays: “This management module will now reboot and will become the standby module! You will need to use the other management module’s console interface. Do you want to continue [y/n]?”

If redundancy has been disabled, or there is no standby module or the standby module is not in standby mode, this message displays:

The other management module does not exist or is not in standby mode

An example of the redundancy switchover command is shown in Figure 15-4.
