Removing an SRP Module
Before you remove an SRP module, you must issue the halt command, which stops operation on that module. If the system contains both primary and redundant SRP modules, you can specify which modules the command should affect.You can also configure the system to prompt you if the modules are in a state that could lead to loss of configuration data or NVS corruption.
Caution: If you do not use the halt command before removing or powering down an SRP module, the system's NVS may become corrupted.![]()
For information about physically removing an SRP module, see ERX Installation and User Guide, Chapter 3, Installing ERX Modules.
halt
- Use to stop the system's operation before you remove or power down an SRP module.
- Specify neither the primary nor the secondary keyword to stop operation on both SRP modules.
- Specify the keyword primary to stop operation on the primary SRP module only. This action causes the redundant SRP module to assume the primary role.
- Specify the keyword secondary to stop operation on the redundant SRP module only.
- If you specify the force keyword, the procedure will fail if the SRP modules are in certain states, such as during a synchronization. In these cases, the system will display a message that indicates that the procedure cannot currently be performed and the reason why. However, if the SRP modules are in other states that could lead to a loss of configuration data or NVS corruption, the system displays a message that explains the state of the SRP modules and asks you to confirm (enter yes or no) whether you want to proceed.
- If you do not specify the force keyword, the procedure will fail if the SRP modules are in any state that could lead to loss of configuration data or NVS corruption, and the system will display a message that explains why the command failed.
- When you issue this command, the system prompts you for a confirmation before the procedure starts.
- Remove or power down the SRP module within 2 minutes of executing the halt command. Otherwise, the SRP module will automatically reboot.
