ProCurve Stack Management

Configuring Stack Management

7. Use the downarrow key to move the cursor to the MAC Address field,

then type the MAC address of the desired Member you want to move from

another stack.

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 8-9 on page 8-19, with the newly added

Member listed.

Note 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 Addres

s 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).
