Modular switches
This section describes the modular switches that are part of the HP enterprise switch portfolio. These switches are all Layer 3/4 managed switches, and all provide support for Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology. IRF enables interconnected switches to be managed and perform as a single virtual fabric with one IP address, greatly increasing the port number and switching capability of the switches while simplifying the network and increasing availability.

Fixed-port (flex-chassis) switches

This section describes the fixed-port switches that are part of the HP A-Series enterprise core and data center portfolio. More accurately referred to as flexchassis switches, because they can function as a modular chassis as well as a fixedform-factor stackable switch, the HP A5820 Switch Series delivers the 10GbE port density to meet high-end needs (up to 24 10GbE ports per unit, and 194 per stack), high availability, IRF support, and full Layer 2 and Layer 3 dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 support. The A5820 features line-rate performance on all ports as well as cut-through switching to minimize latency (the switch starts forwarding a frame before the whole frame has been received), and hot-swappable modules, power supplies, and fans. These switches can be used in enterprise core and distribution applications as well as data center top-of-rack server access applications. Like the modular switches described earlier, they are Layer 3/4 managed switches.

LEDs
This section explains how to interpret the various LEDs found on HPs enterprise switches. Because the LEDs for A-Series switches vary depending on their functionality, a thorough examination of every LED on every switch in this portfolio would require a significant portion of the time be allotted for this course. Instead, this section is designed to help you identify different types of LEDs and use them to determine what is happening on the switch. You should then be able to identify a switchs operating condition at any given moment and begin to diagnose error conditions. For a complete explanation of a switchs LEDs, refer to the Installation Manual for the specific switch model.

Rev. 11.21
LED types
An A-Series switch may have one or more of three general types of LEDs: Switch LEDs Module LEDs Port LEDs
Switch LEDs
Switch LEDs indicate hardware and status conditions that might affect switch operation. Typical switch LEDs report on the status and operation of the following: Self-test Temperature Fan Power supplies Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Keep in mind that A-Series switches offer a variety of functions and capabilities. Although many switches have similar LEDs, not all switches have or need the same LEDs. The preceding list includes the most common LEDs; it is not a comprehensive list.
Module LEDs
Module LEDs provide information about the operation of a particular module, including the following: Module status Module activity PoE compatibility
Port LEDs
Port LEDs provide information about the operating status of a specific port, including the following: Port activity PoE compatibility and supply Full-duplex operation Connection speed

Figure 2 - 1: A5820 switch LEDs
If you are familiar with the Servicing HP Networking Products training, many of the A5820 switch LEDs will be familiar to you. These include the following: System status LED (also known as the power LED on certain A-Series switches) Port mode LED Seven-Segment Display LED Hot-swappable power supply status LEDs Power supply LEDs (these are the LEDs on the power supplies themselves)
The HP A5820 series provides the following switch LEDs as well:
The next several slides will cover the switch LEDs that are supported on the A5820 switches.

A5820 switch LEDs: System Status LED

Switch LED State On Green SYS (green/yellow/red) Red Blinking Green Yellow Off System is performing POST. POST failed on some ports. Switch is powered off. System Status LED Switch is powered on. Power-on self-test (POST) failed. Meaning
Figure 2 - 2: A5820 switch LEDs: System Status LED
You may recall that the System Status LED, marked SYS on the front of many ASeries switches, helps you determine the working status of the switch. (This LED is also known as the Power LED depending on the A-Series switch.) The System Status LED may be steady green, flashing green, steady red, flashing yellow, or off. Each of these indicates a specific system status. As you may recall, most A-Series switches have two startup modes: normal startup and fast startup. By default, the system starts up in fast startup mode and no self-test is performed. If you set the startup mode to normal, the switch performs a self-test, and it will take approximately five seconds for the switch to fully boot. When the System Status LED is on/green, the switch is started normally. When the System Status LED is blinking green, the system is performing a self-test. When the System Status LED is on/red, the self-test failed. The System Status LED and Seven-Segment Display LED together indicate the result of the self-test. When the System Status LED is blinking yellow, the self-test failed on at least one port. When the System Status LED is off, the switch is powered off.

Pressing the Mode button changes Port Mode LED settings and what is displayed on the Port LED for each port. Switch LED Port Mode (green/yellow) State On Green Yellow Port LEDs indicate port speed. Port LEDs indicate port duplex mode. Meaning
Figure 2 - 3: A5820 switch LEDs: Port Mode button and LED
To optimize the amount of information that can be displayed for each port in the limited space available, the A5820, like many A-Series switches, relies on multipledisplay LEDs, or Mode LEDs. These LEDs can indicate more than one port condition and are controlled by the Mode button (also known as the port mode LED switching button). The Port Mode LED and the Port LEDs together indicate the operation status for the ports. Pressing the Mode button changes the setting of the Port Mode LED and the condition reported by the Port LEDs. When the Port Mode LED is on/green, the Port LED indicates the speed at which each port is operating. When the Port Mode LED is on/yellow, the Port LED indicates the duplex mode in which each port is operating. To change the setting of the Mode LED, press the Mode button and cycle through the settings until you reach the desired one. (Mode LEDs are discussed in more detail later in the module when Port LEDs are described.)

Seven-Segment Display LED
Figure 2 - 4: A5820 switch LEDs: Seven-Segment Display LED
Another multiple-display LED on the A5820 that you may be familiar with is the Seven-Segment Display LED. The Seven-Segment Display LED works together with the System Status LED to indicate the A5820s operating status. On the next several pages, we will discuss the meaning of the many System Status LED/Seven-Segment Display LED combinations.
System Status LED is on/red

First, let us look at the statuses indicated by the Seven-Segment Display LED when the System Status LED is on/red. When the System Status LED is on/red and the SevenSegment Display LED displays F, a switch fan has failed. (The A5820s fan trays do not have their own status LEDs.) When the System Status LED is on/red and the Seven-Segment Display LED displays t, the switch has exceeded its maximum temperature threshold.

System Status LED is blinking red

Now, let us look at the statuses indicated by the Seven-Segment Display LED when the System Status LED is blinking red. When this LED is blinking red and the SevenSegment Display LED flashes a number (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9), the self-test (POST) failed. The flashing number indicates the POST test ID of the failed test. Consult the Installation Manual for information about test IDs.
System Status LED is blinking green

Next, let us look at the statuses indicated by the Seven-Segment Display LED when the System Status LED is blinking green. This LED blinks green while it is running the POST. During this time, the Seven-Segment Display LED will display the specific number of each test ID as it is run. When the test completes, a bar rotates clockwise around the Seven-Segment Display LED.
System Status LED is on/green

As you may recall from Module 1 of this training, HPs Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) allows you to manage a group (or cluster) of interconnected switches as a single common fabric with one IP address; this increases network resilience, performance, and availability while simultaneously reducing operational complexity.

Rev. 11.21
The Seven-Segment Display LED indicates the cluster status of the switch when the system status LED is on/green. In this case, the Seven-Segment Display LED should be interpreted as follows: Displaying C means the switch is the command switch in the IRF cluster. Displaying S means the switch is an IRF cluster member. Displaying c means the switch is waiting to join an IRF cluster. Displaying a specific number means that the number displayed is the switchs member ID in the IRF cluster. (A stands for 10.)

A9500/12500 LEDs on AC power supplies

The following are power supply faults that may occur on A9500 and A12500 switches, and troubleshooting tips to address these issues. The LEDs discussed below are found on A9500 and A12500 compatible power supplies. If the Input and Output LEDs stay on, but the display power command shows that the power supply is not in position (but the other power supply operates normally), there may be poor contact between the power supply and the backplane due to a badly seated power supply. In this case, switch off the power supply, loosen its screws, push it into the chassis a little bit, tighten the screws, and switch back on the power supply to check that the normal state is resumed. If the Input and Output LEDs are both off, check that the power cords are connected correctly and are in good condition, and that the power switch is flipped to the on position. If the Fail or Fault (depending on the switch series) LED is on, check that the correct power voltage is in use and that the power switch is on. Also check that the air filter protecting the fan tray is clean. Excessive dust accumulated on the air filter will block the fan tray from free ventilation and could lead to power supply failure.
If you cannot solve the problem after going through the above checking steps, contact HP technical support. Note that on the A12500 Switch Series there is a fourth LED on the power supply: the Service LED. If on, the Service LED lets you know that the power supply is operating at too high a temperature.
Power LEDS on the A7500 MPU

As mentioned earlier, on the A7500 series the power supply LEDs are found on the MPU. The green OK LED is on if the power supply is operating normally. The red FAIL LED is on if the power supply is faulty or the power switch is not on. Both LEDs are off if the power supply is not in position.

Meaning
Operation is normal. The fans are faulty or out of position. The fans are faulty or out of position. Operation is normal.
On the A12500 MPU there is a FAN LED. When it is blinking red, one or two fan trays are faulty. Specifics on each fan tray are provided on the A12500 fan trays themselves, as shown in the table below. The A9500 also provides this information on its fan trays. (It does not provide a FAN LED on the MPU.)

Meaning
The fan tray works normally. The fan tray failed. The fan tray works normally. (On the A12500) The rotating speed of the fan is too low, or the internal circuit of the fan is faulty. The fan tray is faulty.
ALM
The ALM LED on the fan tray will remain on for 2 to 3 seconds when the switch is powered on. If the RUN LED of the fan tray, or the OK LED of the MPU, is off, make sure of the following: The fan tray is well seated. All the cables connecting the fan tray and the backplane have been correctly connected and are in good condition. The fans are working normally. The rotation of the fans has not been blocked. Nothing is blocking the chassis vent. The blank filler panels have been inserted into empty interface module slots.
On the A12500, when the ALM LED is blinking red or the RUN LED is off (ALM LED is on), you can use the display fan verbose command to determine if the rotating speed of the fan tray is lower than the threshold.

Figure 2 - 13: Port LEDs at Rate Mode setting
Each port on A5820 switches has one LED. This Port LED interacts with the Port Mode LED to communicate information regarding the specific port, such as the active, link, duplex, and speed statuses of the port. As explained earlier, the operation of the Port Mode LED is controlled by the Mode button on the switch chassis, and the current selection is revealed by the LEDs color. Press the Mode button to change from one mode to the next. A green Mode LED means the Port LED is in rate mode. A green Port LED indicates that the port is operating at its maximum speed (10 Gpbs or 1 Gbps, depending on the port). The LED flashes quickly when the port is enabled and receiving a link signal. A yellow Port LED indicates that the port is operating at slower speeds (1 Gbps or 10/100 Mbps, depending on the port). The LED flashes quickly when the port is enabled and receiving a link signal. If the port LED is off, then the port is not receiving a link beat or the port has been disabled.

Installing a module into an A-Series switch

1. Remove the blank panel covering the switchs module slot. 2. Insert the module into the guides. 3. Push in the two levers on the front of the module. 4. Tighten the screws.
Figure 2 - 20: Installing a module into an A-Series switch
The figure above illustrates installing an interface module into an A5280 switch. The same procedure can be used to install an OAP module into this switch. This is also the procedure for installing interface and other modules into the A7500, A9500, and A12500 series.
Prepare to Install the Module

Before you begin installing a module, make sure that the module is supported by the switch. Then, either remove a slot cover from the modular switch or remove a previously installed module. To remove a slot cover or a module, use a Phillips-head screwdriver to loosen the two screws securing the module in the slot. (You should retain the slot cover for future use.) After loosening the screws on an installed module, pull the levers at the bottom of the module toward you. You can then slide the module out of the switch.
Install the Module

Avoid electrostatic discharge problems by handling the modules only by their bulkheads. To install the module, complete these steps: 1. 2. Insert the module into the slot, using the guides on the side of the switch chassis. Push on the outer edge of the module (near both screws), sliding it in until you feel resistance. (Modules are designed with low-force connectors. Fully insert the module into its slot, but be careful to not push too vigorously.) Push in the two levers at the bottom of the module. This will slide the module further into the switch until the face of the module is flush with the face of the switch. The levers will rest against the front of the module.

Rev. 11.21
Installing an SFP transceiver

1. Pivot the clasp on the transceiver up- it should catch a knob on the top of the transceiver. 2. Hold both sides of the transceiver and gently push it into the socket until you feel the spring tabs catch in the socket.
Figure 2 - 28: Installing an SFP transceiver
To install an SFP transceiver, complete the following steps: 1. 2. 3. Remove any fibers from the transceiver before installing it. Pivot the clasp on the transceiver up until it catches a knob on the top of the transceiver. Hold the transceiver on both sides and push the transceiver into the socket until it makes firm contact with the socket. You should be able to feel the top and bottom clasp release catch.
If you are installing a transceiver in an area with limited space, you can gently push on the front face of the transceiver instead of holding it by the sides during installation.

Disconnecting the cable connected to an SFP transceiver

1. Use your thumb to apply gentle pressure to the connector. 2. Pull the clasp on the cable out.
Figure 2 - 29: Disconnecting the cable connected to an SFP transceiver
To disconnect a cable connected to an SFP transceiver, complete the following steps: 1. Use your thumb to apply gentle pressure to the connector and loop your forefinger through the ring attached to the cable connector, as shown in the picture above. 2. Pull the clasp on the cable out in a parallel direction. It is very important to make sure you pull the cable directly backward; if you try to pull the cable in a direction that is not parallel to the socket, you could damage the clasp or triangular fillister, which is a part of the socket that connects to the clasp to keep the cable from slipping out while installed.

Removing an SFP transceiver

1. Disconnect the fiber cable from the transceiver. 2. Pivot the clap down to a horizontal position. 3. Gently pull the transceiver out of the socket.
Figure 2 - 30: Removing an SFP transceiver
To remove an SFP transceiver, complete the following steps: 1. 2. 3. Disconnect the fiber cable from the transceiver. Pivot the clasp down to a horizontal position. Hold the transceiver on both sides and gently pull it out of the socket.
Make sure to pivot the clasp down to a horizontal position. Doing so releases the spring tabs from the socket. If you try to pull the transceiver out with the clasp in vertical position and the spring tabs still caught in the socket, you could damage the spring tabs or the transceiver socket.

Rev. 11.21
Installing a fan tray

1. Loosen and then remove the screws securing the fan tray. 2. Using the handle on the installed fan tray, pull the fan tray out of the switch chassis. 3. Insert the new fan tray into the switch chassis and push until it is firmly seated. 4. Insert and tighten the screws on the new fan tray.
Figure 2 - 39: Installing a fan tray
HP enterprise switches have fan trays that can be replaced if a problem occurs. Fan trays are hot-swappable, but you should install a new one soon after removing the old one to ensure that the switch continues to function normally. If you want to replace the fan tray when the switch is working, separate the fan tray from the backplane to disconnect the power and wait till the fan stops rotating before pulling it out completely. To replace the fan tray, complete these steps: 1. Loosen and then remove the screws securing the fan tray in place. 2. Using the handle on the installed fan tray, pull the fan tray out of the switch chassis. 3. Insert the new fan tray into the switch chassis and push until it is firmly seated. (When removing or installing the fan tray, hold it by the bottom. Never attempt to lift a fan tray with its handle, which is not designed to support weight.) 4. Insert and tighten the screws on the new fan tray. Note that fan trays of the A7500 series are fixed either with captive screws or with two locks. In addition, the fan tray handle of the A7506-V is hidden in the groove of the fan tray. You need to rotate the handle out of the groove before removing the fan tray from this switch, or installing a new fan tray into the switch.

High-Availability Configuration for Switches and Routers

Module 3
Objectives
Like other HP A-Series switches, the HP A12500, A9500, A7500, and A5820 Switch Series run the Comware operating system, as do the routers covered in the next modulethe HP A6600 and A8800 Router Series. To learn how to perform basic configuration tasks on the switches, you can use the information outlined in Module 4: Basic Configuration of HP A-Series Switches in the Servicing HP Networking Products course. Likewise, to configure the A6600 and A8800 routers, you can use the steps outlined in Module 22: Basic Configuration of HP A-Series Routers in the Servicing HP Networking Products course. In addition to the software features outlined in these two modules in Servicing HP Networking Products, the A12500, A9500, A7500, and A5820 Switch Series support high-availability features. Two of these high-availability featuresactive and standby switchover and Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF)affect the software upgrade process. The A6600 and A8800 Router Series support active and standby switchover but not IRF.
Note
The A7503-S switch, the A6602 router, and the A5820 Switch Series do not support active and standby switchover. This module explains how to upgrade software on:

Switches and routers that support active and standby switchover Switches that are part of an IRF virtual devices Describe the active and standby switchover process Explain how to update the software on switches and routers that have an active main board (AMB) and a standby main board (SMB) Explain how to update software on switches that are part of an IRF virtual device

Switches
The A12500, A9500, A7500, and A5820 switches can operate in one of two modes:
Standalone mode In standalone mode, the switches that have two main processing units (MPUs) support active and standby switchover, which enables the switches to recover if a main processing unit (MPU) becomes unavailable. It also allows you to upgrade the switch software with minimal interruption of services. You will learn more about active and standby switchover in this module.
Note The A7503-S switch and the A5820 Switch Series do not have two MPUs and, therefore, do not support active and standby switchover.
Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) mode IRF enables you to interconnect multiple switches into a highly flexible, highly available virtual device. IRF not only simplifies management but also provides redundancy. Further, IRF streamlines network operations, facilitates expansion, increases performance, and decreases costs. (The A5820 switch also supports IRF.) In this module, you will learn how to upgrade switches that are part of an IRF virtual device. (For more information about IRF, refer to the switch documentation.)

This section describes the MPU redundancy offered by A12500, A9500, and A7500 switches and A8800 and A6600 routers. It then explains how this redundancy enables active and standby switchover, which can be used to minimize the disruption of services during a software upgrade.

Active and standby main boards

Active main board (AMB) Standby main board (SMB)
Figure 3 - 3: Active and standby main boards
With the exception of the A7503-S switch and the A6602 router, the A12500, A9500, and A7500 switches and the A6600 and A8800 routers have two MPUs. One of the MPUs functions as the active main board (AMB) and one as the standby main board (SMB). By default, the board with the smaller slot number is designated as the AMB. You can configure which board acts as the AMB, but this task is beyond your responsibility to perform basic configuration and management tasks. The following sections describe the functions the AMB and SMB handle on the switches and routers.
A12500 switches
On the A12500 switches, the AMB is always in a working state. It handles:
Management functions (such as the CLI, FTP, and Simple Network Management Protocol [SNMP]agent) Control functions (such as routing protocols and Multiple Spanning Tree protocol)
The SMB is in a backup state. All the routing protocols and configuration settings on the AMB are backed up to the SMB. If the AMB fails, the SMB takes over the management and control functions. The A12500 switches also require multiple Switch Fabric Modules (SFMs), which handle inter-slot forwarding. Unlike the AMB and the SMB, these SFMs work in loadbalancing modeall of them forward packets.
3 4
A9500 and A7500 switches

On the A9500 and A7500 Series switches, the management, control, and inter-slot forwarding functions are all handled by the AMB and SMB. These switches do not have SFMs. For the management and control functions, the AMB handles the management and control functions, and the SMB remains in a backup state. If the AMB fails, the SMB takes over the management and control functions. For inter-slot forwarding, however, the AMB and SMB can work in either load-single mode or load-balance mode:
Load-single modeThe AMB processes and forwards all packets; while the SMB is in a standby state. Load-balance modeThe AMB and the SMB share responsibility for forwarding packets.
By default, the AMB and SMB function in load-single mode. To change this setting, use the xbar command:
<A-Series switch> system-view [A-Series switch] xbar [load-balance | load-single]
To view which mode the AMB and SMB are using, use the display xbar command.
A6600 and A8800 routers

Like the A9500 and A7500 switches, the A8800 and A6600 switches can be configured to load balance between the AMB and the SMB. You use the same commands to configure this functionality on the routers as you do on the switches:
<A-Series switch> system-view [A-Series switch] xbar [load-balance | load-single]
By default, the routers operate in load-single mode. To view which mode the AMB and SMB are using, use the display xbar command.
Note
If the SMB is not installed in the router or switch, the AMB will work in load-single mode, no matter what setting is configured for the xbar command.
3 5
Initial synchronization
1. SMB notifies the AMB that it has been installed. 2. AMB sends response. 3. SMB requests batch backup. 4. AMB notifies HA applications to begin the backup. 5. After the backup is completed, AMB enters the real-time backup state. 6. AMB notifies SMB that the backup is completed. 7. SMB enters the real-time backup state.
Figure 3 - 4: Initial synchronization
By default, the AMB synchronizes its data with the SMB. This initial synchronization process is outlined below. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. When the AMB and SMB are installed and powered on, the SMB notifies the AMB that it has been installed. The AMB sends a response message to the SMB. The SMB sends a batch backup request to the AMB. The AMB sends a message to all applications that support high availability, requesting that they perform a batch backup. When the backup is completed, the AMB enters the real-time backup state. This means that the AMB will hereafter automatically back up changed data (in realtime). The AMB notifies the SMB that the backup is complete. The SMB enters the real-time backup state, which means that the SMB will be ready to receive changed data from the AMB.
6. 7.
To successfully complete an active and standby switchover, the AMB and SMB must have completed this synchronization.
Note During the initial synchronization, you will not be able to configure the switch. Once this initial synchronization is completed, however, the AMB will back up only the changed data.
3 6
Active and standby switchover

If the AMB fails or becomes unavailable, the SMB automatically takes over. The new AMB backs up data to the new SMB.
Figure 3 - 5: Active and standby switchover
The SMB can take over for the AMB if it failsa process that is called active and standby switchover. Two types of active and standby switchovers can occur:
Automatic active and standby switchoverIf the AMB fails or is removed from the switch, the SMB automatically begins to function as the AMB. Manual active and standby switchoverYou can force a switchover by entering certain commands at the command line interface (CLI). For example, you may want to force a switchover when you upgrade the switch software. That way, you can eliminate downtime during the upgrade process.
When the switchover occurs, the original SMB becomes the new AMB and begins to control the system bus and the application protocols. The original AMB disconnects from system bus. When possible, the original AMB automatically reboots and functions as the new SMB.
3 7
Upgrade the switch software using an active and standby switchover

1. Download the newest software version to the AMB and SMB. 2. Specify the boot file as the newest software version for the next startup on the AMB and SMB. 3. Configure the switch to ignore the version check for the SMB. 4. Save the AMB configuration so that it is synchronized to the SMB. 5. Restart the SMB 6. Force the switchover between the AMB and SMB.
Figure 3 - 6: Upgrade the switch software using an active and standby switchover
As mentioned earlier, using an active and standby switchover to upgrade software helps minimize downtime. As a result, this upgrade is sometimes called a graceful upgrade. To use the active and standby switchover in an upgrade, you must ensure that the difference between the current version of the switch software and the new version is relatively small. If the changes between versions are too extensive, the SMB may not be upgraded properly. (In this case, see Upgrading the boot file for the SMB on the next page.) To upgrade a switch or router by performing an active and standby switchover, complete the following steps: 1. Download the newest software version to the AMB and SMB. Use FTP, TFTP, or XModem to download the updated switch software to the AMB and SMB and save it in the flash area on the switch. 2. Specify the boot file as the newest software version for the next startup of the AMB and SMB.
<Switch> boot-loader file flash:/update.bin slot 0 main <Switch> boot-loader file slot1#flash:/update.bin slot 1 main
In this example command, update.bin is the new software file. Slot 0 is where the AMB is installed, and slot 1 is where the SMB is installed. The main option indicates that this file will be the primary boot file.
Note You cannot execute any commands on the SMB. You must configure the AMB, which will synchronize the configurations to the SMB. 3 8
3.
By default, the switch checks the software version running on the SMB to ensure it matches the version running on the AMB. Configure the switch to ignore the version check for the SMB.
[A-Series switch] ha slave-ignore-version-check
4.
Save the configuration on the AMB so that it is synchronized to the SMB. If the auto-update function is enabled, you can save the configuration on the AMB, and the file will be backed up on the SMB. The auto-update configuration should be enabled by default, but if someone has changed this default setting, enter:
[Switch] slave auto-update config
5. 6.
Manually restart the SMB to upgrade the SMB.

[Switch] slave restart
Once the upgrade on the SMB is completed, force the switchover between the AMB and SMB.
[Switch] slave switchover Caution!!! Confirm switch slave to master[Y/N]?y
After the switchover, the original AMB will reset, restart, and update its software. The software on both boards will be updated. If you want to re-enable the version check for the SMB, enter:
[Switch] undo ha slave-ignore-version check Note
If the switchover fails, check the following:

The SMB is working normally. The back backup process between the AMB and SMB is completed. Switchover is enabled. This is the default setting. If the setting has been changed, enter slave switchover enable.
Upgrading the boot file for the SMB

If you are replacing an SBM and the newly inserted SMB is running a different software version than the existing AMB, the SMB cannot operate properly. If an active and standby switchover occurs, it will fail. To view information about the boot file, enter:
display boot-loader [slot <slot-number>] Note Switches and routers that do not have two MPUs do not support the slot <slotnumber> option. 3 9
To upgrade the SMB so that the SMB and AMB have the same software version, complete the following steps: 1. 2. Copy the AMBs current boot file to the SMB. Before upgrading the boot file for the SMB, use the dir command to view whether there is enough space on the storage medium of the SMB. If there is not enough space, the boot-loader update command will fail. Specify this boot file as the boot file to be used at the next device boot for the SMB.
boot-loader update file <file location> slot <slot-number>
3.
The SMB reboots automatically, and the upgrade of the SMB is completed. The SMB and the AMB will be running the same version.

Upgrading software on an IRF switch

Main-board ISSU upgrade Member switch-based ISSU upgrade
Figure 3 - 11: Upgrading software on an IRF switch
IRF allows companies to connect two or more A-Series switches and create one virtual device. Using a virtual switch not only simplifies management, but also provides redundancy and load balancing. IRF streamlines switch operations, facilitates expansion, increases performance, and decreases costs. When you are required to upgrade switches that are members of an IRF virtual device, you use the In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) process. ISSU allows you to upgrade the switch without disrupting the services running on the switch. There are two ISSU upgrade processes:

Main-board ISSU upgrade Member switch-based ISSU upgrade
Because the member switch-based ISSU upgrade process is simpler and easier, HP recommends that you use this process whenever possible.
3 15
Main-board ISSU upgrade process

AMB and SMBs
Global Local Global
AMBthe AMB on the master SMBsthe AMBs/SMBs on other IRF members
SMBthe SMB on the master
Process:
1. Upgrade the masters local SMB. 2. Perform an active standby switchover. 3. Upgrade all the other main boards, one-by-one.
Figure 3 - 12: Main-board ISSU upgrade process
If you use the main-board ISSU upgrade, the IRF virtual device is considered a distributed device with one global AMB, multiple global SMBs, and multiple interface cards. In an IRF virtual device, the global AMB is the AMB on the master. This global AMB manages the entire IRF virtual device. The global SMBs, on the other hand, are main boards on other switches in the IRF virtual device. The global SMBs back up the configuration information stored on the global AMB. The master in the virtual devices also has a local SMB. The main steps in an ISSU main board-based ISSU upgrade are listed below. 1. 2. Upgrade the local SMB on the master. This upgrade will not affect the global AMB, allowing it to operate normally. Perform an active and standby switchover, making the upgraded local SMB become the new global AMB. (Note that both the hotfixes for interface cards and the upgrade program for the main boards are compressed in the boot file of the system. You can use the issu load command to upgrade the boot file.) Upgrade all the other main boards one-by-one.
3.
This upgrade process provides non-stop services because the IRF virtual device ensures the data and state of all main boards remain synchronized. The interface cards are upgraded by installing a hotfix and do not require a reboot. To use this upgrade process, you must ensure that the result of version compatibility check is compatible. You will learn how to perform a version compatibility check later in this module.
3 16
Note
You can determine whether or not an interface card will require a reboot if you upgrade the switch to a particular version of software. Enter the display version comp-matrix file filename command, replacing filename with the name of the upgrade file. If the upgrade method of an interface card is displayed as Hotfix, it means the hotfix upgrade method will be applied, and the service on this interface card will not be interrupted; if Reboot is displayed, it means the interface card will be rebooted during the upgrade process, and the service on this interface card will be interrupted for a short time.
3 17
Member switch-based ISSU upgrade process

1. Update a switch member (not the master). 2. Perform an active and standby switchover, making the upgraded member the master. 3. Reboot the former master.
Figure 3 - 13: Member switch-based ISSU upgrade process
Rather than upgrading each main board one-by-one, you can upgrade each of the member switches. This method does not require upgrade hotfixes in the boot file. However, each member switch is upgraded through a switch reboot, thus causing a brief interruption to the traffic passing through the member switches. However, the other For this upgrade process, you would complete these steps: 1. Upgrade a member in the IRF virtual device. This upgrade will not affect the master, which will continue to operate normally. (If you have more than two members in the IRF virtual device, upgrade all of them, except the master, at this time.) Perform an active and standby switchover, making an upgraded member become the new master. Reboot the former master.
2. 3.
HP recommends that you aggregate links on different interface cards or even different switches to avoid traffic interruption during the upgrade process.
3 18
Preparing for an ISSU upgrade

Save the current configuration. Verify the running status and software version of each main board. Verify the boot file information. Verify the active-standby state. Copy the new boot file to the root directory for all main boards. Verify the new boot file and old boot file exist on all main boards Verify the file paths for the boot file are the same on all main boards.
Figure 3 - 14: Preparing for an ISSU upgrade
Before performing an ISSU upgrade, you should complete the following checklist. Completing this checklist will help ensure that the upgrade is completed successfully. 1. 2. Save the current configuration, using the save command. Verify the running status and software version of each main board and interface card. To check this information, use the display device command. Ensure that the master and the other member switches have two main boards, all interface cards operate normally, and all main boards have the same software version. Use the display boot-loader command to verify the boot file information. Ensure that the AMBs use the same boot file, which means the two files have the same file path, name, and content. Use the display switchover state command to verify the active-standby state. Ensure that the SMB is in a real-time backup state, which is displayed as:
Realtime backup

5. 6.
Use FTP, TFTP or other method to copy the new boot file to the root directory on all main boards. Use the dir command to verify that:

3 19
ISSU version compatibility check

Ensures that the new version supports ISSU and is not the same version as the current one After you perform the heck the results:
Compatible Basic-level Unknown
compatible
Incompatible
Figure 3 - 15: ISSU version compatibility check
During the ISSU upgrade, the AMB and the SMB may run a different version of the boot file. When you enter the issu load command for the upgrade, the switch performs a static compatibility check based on the version compatibility information recorded in the boot file. If the new version does not support ISSU or the new version is the same as the current version, the ISSU upgrade cannot be performed. If the SMB passes the static compatibility check, it reboots with the new software version, and then the system performs a dynamic version compatibility check. Before entering the issu load command, you can check the compatibility by entering the following command:
<Switch> display version comp-matrix file filename
Replace <filename> with the name of the new switch software. The compatibility check result can be any of the following:
Compatible The fundamental modules that support the operation of the switch and the service modules are compatible. The ISSU upgrade between the two versions can proceed successfully.
Basic-level compatible The fundamental modules that support the operation of the switch are compatible, but some protocol modules are incompatible. The system disables the incompatible modules automatically, and the ISSU upgrade between the two versions can proceed successfully.
Incompatible The fundamental modules that support the operation of the switch are incompatible. In this case, you need to include the force keyword when you enter the issu load command. After starting up with the new software version, the SMB operates in the independent active mode, and the interface cards can be upgraded only through the reboot upgrade method.
3 20
Unknown The specified version file does not support ISSU or cannot be upgraded using ISSU.
The result of the compatibility check can affect the upgrade process, as you will learn in the sections that follow.

Version rollback
If you need to cancel the upgrade, you can use the version rollback function. There are two types of version rollbacks:
Auto-rollbackThis rollback occurs when the version rollback timer expires. This timer is started you enter the issu load command. If you do not enter the issu accept or issu commit command before the timer expires, the switch stops the upgrade and reverts to the previous version of software. When you enter the issu accept or issu commit command, the switch deletes the version rollback timer and maintains the new version of software. Manual rollbackYou can manually rollback the switch to the previous software version by entering the issu rollback chassis command when the switch is in the load, switchover, or accept state. (These states are described later in this module.) You must perform the version rollback before you enter the issu commit command. For a main board-based upgrade, enter:
[Switch] issu rollback chassis <chassis-number> slot <slotnumber>
For a switch member-based upgrade, enter:

[Switch] issu rollback chassis <chassis-number>
By default, the version rollback timer is set to 45 minutes. To change this setting, enter:

Summary
Switches operate in standalone or IRF mode. For switches in standalone mode, use the active and standby switchover process for the upgrade. Use the active and standby switchover process to upgrade the routers as well. For IRF switches, use: Main board-based ISSU upgrade Member switch-based ISSU upgrade
In this module, you learned that the A12500, A9500, and A7500 switches can operate in standalone or IRF mode. For switches that operate in standalone mode, you should use the active and standby switchover to upgrade them. You use the same process to upgrade A8800 and A6600 routers that have two main boards. However, if switches are part of an IRF virtual device, you use one of the ISSU upgrade processes.

Figure 5 - 5: HP RPE-X1A6600 module installation
The HP RPE-X1 A6600 module is the management module (or MPU) for the A6604, A6608, and A6616 router chassis. Each chassis has two MPU slots and supports a dual MPU environment where one module is active and the other remains in a standby state in case the active module fails. A chassis accessory is required to install the RPE-X1 in an HP A6604, A6608, or A6616 chassis. The chassis accessory includes the power and bus connectors necessary for the MPU to operate. Install the chassis accessory by sliding it into the appropriate slot on each module, with the components facing up, until the positioning pins on the backplane are lined up with the positioning holes at the bottom of the chassis accessory. Lock the chassis accessory in place by pushing in the ejector levers and fastening the captive screws. To install the RPE-X1, slide the module into either slot of the chassis accessory and lock in place with the ejector levers. Fasten the captive screws using a Philips screwdriver. If you will be using only one RPE-X1 module be sure to use the blank panels included with the chassis accessory to cover the unused slot to prevent dust from entering the router.

Figure 5 - 20: Resetting routers to factory defaults
The MPUs for the A6600 and A8800, as well as the front panel of the A6602 router, provide a reset button which allows you to reset the router to the factory default settings. The reset button is recessed into the panel so that it cannot be accidentally pressed. The figure above shows you the location of the reset buttons on the A6600 and A8800 MPUs. The reset button for the HP A6602 is located on the right side of the front panel, next to the System LED (see Figure 5-1). In order to reset the router, insert a small thin object, such as the end of a paper clip, into the reset slot and hold the reset button down for at least three seconds.
