Hi,
I've just replaced my HP Procurve 24-port switch with a new replacement unit which was previously configured in a stacking mode of 24-port and 48-port, see below command result:
Running configuration:
; hpStack_WB Configuration Editor; Created on release #WB.15.11.0007
; Ver #03:12.15.0d:09
stacking
member 1 type "J9729A" mac-address c4346b-8f0e40
member 2 type "J9726A" mac-address c4346b-970ec0
member 3 type "J9726A" mac-address c4346b-8838c0
exit
......
and this is the show stack command result:
Stack ID : 0100c434-6b8f0e40
MAC Address : c4346b-8f0e4b
Stack Topology : Chain
Stack Status : Fragment Inactive
Uptime : 0d 0h 14m

Mbr
ID Mac Address Model Pri Status
--- ------------- -------------------------------------- --- ---------------
1 c4346b-8f0e40 HP J9729A 2920-48G-POE+ Switch 128 Commander

3 c4346b-8838c0 HP J9726A 2920-24G Switch 128 Standby
My question is, how can I remove the missing or replaced switch that is in red font ?
ANy help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Re: How to remove old HP switch in stacked mode ?
There are also some amber light blinking on the front panel of the switch, see below that I circled:
What command should I type so that those light can turn to green ?

Re: How to remove old HP switch in stacked mode ?
You can remove a member of a stack with the "stacking member N remove" command. You do need to be in the configure context.
If you have a switch that should not be part of a stack anymore, use the "stacking disable" command from the configure prompt. This command will require that the switch reboot. Or if you want to join it to a new stack, use the "stacking factory-reset" command from the configure prompt. Again this will reboot the switch. Both of these commands will turn off the stacking led. It is on because the switch still thinks it should be part of a stack.
For more info, check out the stacking whitepaper: http://h20195.www2.hp.com/V2/GetDocument.aspx?docname=4AA5-7121ENW&cc=us&lc=en
Regards,
Eric

Re: How to remove old HP switch in stacked mode ?
Eric, thank you foryour response. But somehow the command that I tried doesn't seems to be working for the switch:
The switch member ID 2 is still there and I'd like to know how to make the member ID 3 to be active ?

Re: How to remove old HP switch in stacked mode ?
You need to be at the config prompt:
AV_Switch1# config
AV_Switch1(config)#

Re: How to remove old HP switch in stacked mode ?
Thats wierd. I would have understood if the prompt looked like this "AV_Switch_1>". That would have indicated that you were at the operator prompt.
Do a "?" at the prompt to list the available commands. It should look like this:
AV_Switch_1# ?
backup Backup next startup-configuration file to TFTP server
boot Reboot the device.
clear Clear information.
clock Configure or show the current time, date, and local time offset.
command-alias Specify a command alias
configure Enter the Configuration context.
copy Copy datafiles to or from the switch.
debug Enable/disable debug logging.
delete Delete a file
<truncated>
verify Verify the signature of a switch firmware image.
AV_Switch_1#
If that isn't the case and it looks more like this:
AV_Switch_1> ?
chassislocate Control the chassis locate LED.
dir Display a list of the files and subdirectories
in a directory on a USB device.
display Display current system information.
enable Enter the Manager command context.
exit Return to the previous context or terminate current
console/telnet session if you are in the Operator
context level.
link-test Test the connection to a MAC address on the LAN.
logout Terminate this console or telnet session.
menu Enter the menu-based console user interface.
page Toggle paging mode.
ping Send IPv4 ping request(s) to a device on the network.
ping6 Send IPv6 ping request(s) to a device on the network.
quit Exit the current command view
show Display switch operation information.
traceroute Trace the IPv4 route to a device on the network.
traceroute6 Trace the IPv6 route to a device on the network.
verify Verify the signature of a switch firmware image.
AV_Switch_1>
Then you have to use the "enable" command first to get to the manager prompt.

Re: How to remove old HP switch in stacked mode ?
Here's what I can see from the ? command and the enable.
I'm connecting to the Commander switch,
AV_Switch_1# show version

Re: How to remove old HP switch in stacked mode ?
Ok, now I get it. The switch is administratively shutdown because it thinks that the rest of the stack is still up and running and has shut down all of its ports to keep from looping the network. I don't have a switch in this state in front of me but we should be able to figure it out.
Type the "stacking" command and hit <tab> or the question mark key. There should be a couple of options. I think that two of them are "disable" and "factory-reset".
If you don't intend to join this switch to another stack, you can use the "stacking disable" command.
If you would like to join this to another stack, then use the "stacking factory-reset" command.
Sorry it took a while to get there.
