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.
