Using Redundant Management Modules
3 - 3
Configuring the Redundant Management Parameters
You can configure the following redundant management module parameters:
• Installation parameters:
• Slot configuration. As with other module types, you must configure a chassis slot for the type of module
you are installing in the slot.
• Active redundant management module slot. By default, the redundant management module with the
lower slot number is the active module.
• Operational parameters:
• Boot code synchronization. By default, the standby redundant management module does not
automatically synchronize to the boot code version installed on the active module. The standby module
does automatically synchronize to the flash code (system software) on the active module.
• Synchronization interval for running-config file
• Warning and shutdown temperatures
Installing Redundant Management Modules
To install a redundant management module, perform the following tasks:
• Configure the chassis slot to receive the module.
NOTE: The system must be running a version of software that supports the module you want to install.
• Insert the module.
• Specify the default active module (if you do not want to use the system default, which is the redundant
management module with the lower slot number).
In addition, if you use a TFTP or BootP server to boot the active module, you need to copy the flash code (system
software) into the primary or secondary flash on the active redundant management module, then direct the active
redundant management module to use the code to boot the standby module.
A standby redundant management module does not boot from a TFTP or BootP server.
NOTE: The slots in a 15-slot chassis are divided among 4 internal
regions
. Slots 1 – 4 belong to the same
region; slots 5 – 8 belong to the same region; slots 9 – 12 belong to the same region, and slots 13 – 15 belong to
the same region. If you are using redundant management modules, HP requires that you place both management
modules in slots belonging to the same region. For example, if you place one management module in slot 5, HP
recommends that you place the other management module in slot 6, 7, or 8.
This note does not apply to 4-slot or 8-slot chassis.
Configuring the Chassis to Receive the Module
When you plan to insert a module into a chassis slot, you first must configure the slot to receive the module unless
the slot already contains the same type of module.
USING THE CLI
To prepare slot 1 to receive an eight-port Gigabit redundant management module, enter the following commands
at the global CONFIG level:
HP9300(config)# module 1 8-port-gig-management-module
HP9300(config)# write memory
Syntax:
module <slot-num> <module-type>
