Brocade# boot system flash primary
Brocade# Are you sure? (enter 'y' or 'n'): y
Syntax: [no] boot system bootp | [flash primary | flash secondary] | slot number filename | tftp
ip-address filename
The flash primary keyword specifies the primary Brocade Multi-Service IronWare image in the
management module flash memory. The flash secondary keyword specifies the secondary Brocade
Multi-Service IronWare image in the flash memory.
For the number parameter, specify 1 for Auxiliary Flash slot 1 on the active management module
and 2 for Auxiliary Flash slot 2 on the active management module. For the filename parameter,
specify the name of the image on the Auxiliary flash card.
The tftp keyword directs the Brocade device to boot from an Brocade Multi-Service IronWare image
on a TFTP server located at ip-address with the specified filename.
For example, to reboot the active and standby management modules, enter the following command
at the Privileged EXEC level.
Brocade# reload
To reboot the standby module only, enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level.
Brocade# reboot-standby
Upon rebooting the active and standby management module, a software image is downloaded. The
following error message is displayed on the console:
Warning: There is an outstanding software download. Do you want to continue?
(enter 'y' or 'n')
If you want to continue with downloading the image, enter yes. If you do not want to download the
image, enter no.
Monitoring management module redundancy
You can monitor the following aspects of management module redundancy:
• The status of the management modules (if a module is in active or standby mode)
• The switchover history for the management modules
The following sections explain how to monitor the management modules.
Determining management module status
You can determine the status of a management module in the following ways:
• LEDs – LEDs on the management module indicate whether a module is active or standby, and
if the module has power.
• Module information in software – The module information displayed by the software indicates
whether a module is active or standby.
