ProCurve 2530-48G hang, probably stacking problem

[Ofi]

Last night I have upgraded firmware on some of our Procurve Switches (all except ProCurve 2530-48G). After this operation ProCurve 2530-48G (NOT upgraded, already newest YA firmware) stopped responding to ping, and after two hours it totaly hung. It even hangs on 'show ip' command. Reboot didn`t help - same thing.

I spent few hours trying to fix it. It seems to be problem with stacking. After removing 2530 from stack (no stack ...) it started to work fine again.

There is nothing interesting in logs.

Commander: HP ProCurve 2824 (upgraded that night from I.10.101 to I.10.105) connected direcly with ProCurve 2530-48G (YA.15.16.0005) using 3x1000gbit ethernet with LACP.

Is this the right place to submit such issue?

I can see the following change in I.10.105:

"Stacking (CR_0000146549) - If the switches are configured to disable HTTP (no web-management) and instead use
HTTPS (web-management ssl), some stack members might not be accessible from the commander."

I have web managment disabled. Maybe its releated?

Logging a call might be appropriate - after all, it has a lifetime warranty!

The stacking is just a mechanism that allows management from a single IP address; it doesn't allow MLAGs across multiple 2530 switches.

If it turns out there is an issue with the IP stack management, you might want to think about using IMC to give you visibility and control over your network.

Yes, I know about the MLAG and IMC, but I`m using SSH/SNMP to manage my network (~60 procurve 26xx, 28xx, 29xx). I don`t need to remember every switch IP address using HP stacking. I think I will do the call ;)
