Start with the management unit, then the standby, then each of the members in order of their assigned stack number (or
the position in the stack you want each unit to take).
Allow each unit to completely boot, and verify that the stack manager detects the unit, then power the next unit.
Figure 115. Creating a new stack
In the above example, stack unit 1 is the master management unit, stack unit 2 is the standby unit. The cables are connected to
each unit.
Reload each unit in the stack. After the reload is complete, the four units come up as a stack with unit 1 as the management
unit, unit 2 as the standby unit, and the remaining units as stack-members. All units in the stack can be accessed from the
management unit.
NOTE: Before executing show commands, you must wait for 10 to 15 seconds for the download-agent process to start.
To view the stack unit information after the reload, use the show system brief command.
