Initiate a Locked Switchover
The difference between a locked switchover and a normal switchover is that you must always initiate a locked switchover. You or a fault in the primary chassis can initiate a normal switchover.
The Initiate Locked Switchover command is available under these conditions:
- The chassis state is Primary with Locked Secondary.
- The Lock for Update process is complete.
If you select Initiate Locked Switchover, your secondary chassis assumes control and becomes the new primary. The old primary is now the new secondary chassis and you can update the firmware of the modules in the new secondary chassis.
