Reloading a Stack Unit

Use the reload command to reload one or more stack units, for example, when necessary to repair a malfunctioning unit. Stack units can be reloaded only if they are not the active controller.

When the reload command is entered on the active controller without the unit-id parameter as shown in the following example, the entire stack reloads.

device# reload

Beginning with FastIron release 10.0.20, when the reload command is entered on an active controller, an image consistency check is automatically performed to check the image version, code size, image name, and other information on all stack units. If this image consistency check fails, an error message about the mismatched units is displayed as shown in the following example. The reload procedure is not completed, and the system avoids improper upgrades in any scenario. An image consistency check may be performed when you upgrade a unit with the reload command as well as when you perform a general reload of the stack.

device# reload aborted due to image mismatch in primary partition in following unit(s): 1	2	4-8
Check and upgrade primary partition again.

Note: If you need to reload the active controller, use the stack switch-over command. When switchover occurs, the original active controller can be reloaded using the reload unit-id command.

You can specify a list of stack members to reload as shown in the following example.

device# reload unit-id 1,2,4-8

The example reloads units 1 and 2 and units 4 through 8.
