Downloading a Software Version Serially if the Management Module is Corrupted

Downloading a Software Version Serially if the Management Module is Corrupted

If the software version on a management module becomes corrupted, you may need to do a serial download to restore the affected module. The non- corrupted management module becomes the active module. You can then use the serial port on the corrupted management module to download a new software version. When the corrupted module is rebooted, the software version in the corrupted module is immediately overwritten by the software version in the active management module. Both management modules should now be operating on the same software version.

Turning Off Redundant ManagementDisabling Redundancy with Two Modules Present

In some cases, for troubleshooting a suspect management module you may want to operate the switch with redundant management disabled by entering this command:

ProCurve(config)# no redundancy management-module

After executing this command, the second management module will not boot into standby mode; it is off line and no longer receives configuration file changes from the active module. The active management module updates its config file with the information that redundancy is disabled.
