Platforms Supported

Usage Guidelines
• This command causes the secondary CMM to take over the functions of the primary CMM. After this
command, the old primary CMM is the new secondary CMM.
• Before issuing the takeover command, be sure that the secondary CMM has all software (i.e., image
and configuration files) required to continue CMM operations.
• For information on synchronizing the primary and secondary CMM software before issuing the
takeover command, see the copy flash-synchro command.
• When the CMM modules switch primary and secondary roles, the console session to the new primary
CMM is disconnected. To continue managing the switch, be sure that you have physical connections to
both CMMs or local access to the switch in order to move your Ethernet or serial cable from one CMM
to the other.
• This command can also be used on the secondary CMM.
• If the switch is part of an a stackable configuration consisting of three or more switches, the next
switch in “idle” mode becomes the secondary CMM, and the original primary CMM becomes “idle.”
For more information on stacks, see “Managing Stacks” in the Hardware Users Guide.
Note. The saved boot.cfg file will be overwritten if the takeover command is executed after the copy
running-config working or write memory commands, in an OmniSwitch set up with redundant CMMs.
Refer to the “NIs Reload On Takeover” description on page 1-16 for more information on the takeover
command and redundant management modules.
