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.
EXEC Privilege
write memory
5. Reload the stack unit to activate the new Dell Networking OS version.
CONFIGURATION mode
reload
The following example shows how to upgrade all switches in a stack, including the master switch.
