Management and Configuration Guide K/KA/KB.15.15

If you select y, switchover is initiated by the standby management module, which becomes the
active management module after boot completes.
If the standby module is not in standby mode (for example, it is in failed mode or offline mode),
switchover to the standby module does not occur. The system is rebooted and this message displays:
The other management module is not in standby mode and this
command will not cause a switchover, but will reboot the
system, do you want to continue [y/n]?
If the other management module is not present in the switch, the system simply reboots.
The boot command has these options.
ActionCommand
Reboots the active management module from the flash image that is
specified for the default boot. This can be changed with the boot
boot cr
set-default flash command. You can select which image to boot
from during the boot process itself. (See Figure 273 (page 493).) The switch
will switchover to the standby management module.
NOTE: This is changed from always booting from primary flash. You
are prompted with a message, which indicates the flash being booted
from.

"This command changes the location of the default boot. This command
will change the default flash image to boot from flash chosen>. Hereafter,
‘reload' and ‘boot' commands will boot from flash chosen>. Do you want
to continue [y/n]?"
You can select a boot profile during the reboot process, as shown in Figure 273 (page 493). If you

parentheses.)
