SFR Module recovery prevents IPS Module recovery

[averill.johnson1]

I am working with a spare ASA 5512X. I had two modules installed previously, IPS and CXSC and the device worked (even though all modules were unresponsive). When I enter the command sw-module module ips recovery configure image flash:/<path>  I get error recovery in use by module sfr (or something similar). How do I take the line out of the sfr module recovery so that I can run the IPS recovery?

You should be able to do a module uninstall.

Begging the question of why you would want to install an IPS module as these are way past end of life.

Yeah after performing the shutdown command on the other modules it was able to uninstall successfully.

I was messing with a spare and I just wanted to put it back the way I found it.
