Hotswapping Management ModulesHotswapping Out the Active Management Module

You can hotswap out the active management module and have switch operations taken over by the standby management module by following the correct shutdown procedure on the active module using the MM Shutdown button. When the MM Shutdown button is pressed, any file synchronization in progress completes before the shutdown begins, and then a graceful shutdown of that management module occurs.

1.On the management module to be hotswapped out, press the MM Shut­ down button. It is located between the Module Operation and Component Status LEDs. See Figure 15-9.

Figure 15-9. The MM Shutdown Button

2.The Dwn LED to the right of the MM Shutdown button will begin flashing green. File synchronization will complete before shutdown occurs.

3.The standby module takes control and the switchover occurs. It is now the active management module.

4.The Dwn LED on the management module being hotswapped out turns green and all other LEDs go out when it is OK to remove the module.

5.The module being hotswapped out goes into offline mode. In the “offline” mode, the module cannot take over when the active module fails over.
