Cloning within a Stack
To clone within a stack, you can either:
- Run the synchronize {slot slotid} command, which invokes the clone.py script. You can only clone one slot/switch at a time. For more information, see synchronize in the Switch Engine 32.2 Command Reference Guide .
- Run the clone.py script directly, which allows you to specify multiple slots/switches. If more than one slot is specified, the master is cloned to each slot one at a time.
To clone within a stack by running the clone.py script directly, on the master switch, enter the command:
run script clone.py slot slotlist
Where slotlist can be any number of valid slot positions separated with commas, or all. For example, run script clone.py slot 1,2,3
The following appears on the master
switch:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + C A U T I O N + + Cloning will erase all contents on these slots: + + 1,3,4,5,6,7,8 + + The switch contents of this stacking master + + will replace the contents of these switches + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Do you want to continue cloning? [y/N]: y Cloning slot 1 started ........................................ Slot 1 cloning COMPLETE Cloning slot 3 started .........................................................

On each slot, the following
appears:
Cloning stack master. DO NOT REBOOT OR POWER CYCLE this switch Starting cloning process Transfering EXOS partitions and configuration Transferring active EXOS partition.........
