Managing IronStack partitioning
When a unit in an IronStack with a linear topology fails, the IronStack divides (partitions) into two or
more separate stacks that all have the same configuration. This may cause an IP address conflict
in the network. If you want to keep the stacks separate, you will need to change the IP address of
each new stack.
When a stack breaks into partitions, the partition with the Active Controller remains operational. If
a partition contains the Standby Controller, this partition will become operational because the
Standby Controller will assume the Active role and will reload the partition units. A partition without
an Active or Standby Controller will not function. To reconfigure these units to act in standalone
mode, you must first do a stack unconfigure me command on each unit. Refer to “Unconfiguring an
IronStack” on page 130.
