Stack Unit in Card-Problem State Due to Configuration Mismatch

• Problem: A stack unit enters a Card-Problem state because there is a configuration mismatch

between the logical provisioning stored for the stack-unit number on the master switch and the

newly added unit with the same number.

• Resolution: From the master switch, reload the stack by entering the reload command in EXEC

Privilege mode. When the stack comes up, the card problem will be resolved.

Upgrading a Switch Stack

To upgrade all switches in a stack with the same Dell Networking OS version, follow these steps.

1.

Copy the new Dell Networking OS image to a network server.

2. Download the Dell Networking OS image by accessing an interactive CLI that requests the server IP

address and image filename, and prompts you to upgrade all member stack units.
EXEC Privilege mode

upgrade system { flash: | ftp: | scp: | tftp: | usbflash: } partition

Specify the system partition on the master switch into which you want to copy the Dell Networking
OS image. The system then prompts you to upgrade all member units with the new Dell Networking
OS version.

The valid values are a: and b:.

3. Reboot all stack units to load the Dell Networking OS image from the same partition on all switches

in the stack.
CONFIGURATION mode

boot system stack-unit all primary system partition

4. Save the configuration.
