Introduction
This procedure is used to configure the 6127XLG enclosure switches.
All steps are executed from a Keyboard, Video, Mouse (KVM) connection.
Procedure
Table 3-7 Procedure to configure enclosure switches
Step # | Procedure | Description |
---|---|---|
1.
|
Copy the 6127XLG configuration file |
Copy the 6127XLG configuration file on the Utility USB (See OCCNE 1.0 Installation PreFlight checklist : Create the OA 6127XLG Switch Configuration File) to the /var/lib/tftpboot directory on the Installer Bootstrap Host and verify it exists and the permissions. $ cp /media/usb/6127xlg_irf.cfg /var/lib/tftpboot/6127xlg_irf.cfg $ ls -l /var/lib/tftpboot/ total 1305096 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 311 Mar 25 08:41 6127xlg_irf.cfg |
2.
|
Modify the switch specific values in the /var/lib/tftpboot/6127xlg_irf.cfg file. |
These values are contained at OCCNE 1.0 Installation PreFlight checklist : Create the OA 6127XLG Switch Configuration File from column Enclosure_Switch. $ cd /var/lib/tftpboot $ sed -i 's/{switchname}/<switch_name>/' 6127xlg_irf.cfg $ sed -i 's/{admin_password}/<admin_password>/' 6127xlg_irf.cfg $ sed -i 's/{user_name}/<user_name>/' 6127xlg_irf.cfg $ sed -i 's/{user_password}/<user_password>/' 6127xlg_irf.cfg |
3.
|
Access the InterConnect Bay1 6127XLG | Access the InterConnect Bay1 6127XLG switch
to configure the IRF (Intelligent Resilient Framework).
Note: On a new switch the user is presented with the following when connecting to the console and must type CTRL_C or CTRL_D to break out of the loop. Note: When trying to save the config, the following prompt is received: [HPE] [HPE] save The current configuration will be written to the device. Are you sure? [Y/N]: Before pressing ENTER you must choose 'YES' or 'NO'[Y/N]:y Please input the file name(*.cfg)[flash:/startup.cfg] (To leave the existing filename unchanged, press the enter key): User can leave this default startup.cfg unchanged, or change to another name. The cfg file will be used for next reboot. $ ssh <oa username>@<oa address> If it shows standby, ssh to the other OA address. OA-FC15B41AEA05> connect interconnect 1 .... <HPE>system-view System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z. (Note: Run the following commands:) irf member 1 priority 32 interface range Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/17 to Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/20 shutdown quit irf-port 1/1 port group interface Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/17 port group interface Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/18 port group interface Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/19 port group interface Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/20 quit interface range Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/17 to Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/20 undo shutdown quit save irf-port-configuration active |

Access the InterConnect Bay2 6127XLG |
Access the InterConnect Bay2 6127XLG switch to re-number to IRF 2. OA-FC15B41AEA05> connect interconnect 2 .... <HPE>system-view System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z. [HPE] irf member 1 renumber 2 Renumbering the member ID may result in configuration change or loss. Continue?[Y/N]Y [HPE]save The current configuration will be written to the device. Are you sure? [Y/N]:Y Please input the file name(*.cfg)[flash:/startup.cfg] (To leave the existing filename unchanged, press the enter key): Validating file. Please wait... Saved the current configuration to mainboard device successfully. [HPE]quit <HPE>reboot Start to check configuration with next startup configuration file, please wait.........DONE! This command will reboot the device. Continue? [Y/N]:Y Now rebooting, please wait... System is starting... |
5.
|
Configure the IRF on Bay2 6127XLG switch |
After rebooting, the interfaces will begin with number 2 such as Ten-GigabitEthernet2/0/17, Ten-GigabitEthernet2/1/5. Run the following commands: system-view interface range Ten-GigabitEthernet 2/0/17 to Ten-GigabitEthernet 2/0/20 shutdown quit irf-port 2/2 port group interface Ten-GigabitEthernet2/0/17 port group interface Ten-GigabitEthernet2/0/18 port group interface Ten-GigabitEthernet2/0/19 port group interface Ten-GigabitEthernet2/0/20 quit interface range Ten-GigabitEthernet 2/0/17 to Ten-GigabitEthernet 2/0/20 undo shutdown quit save irf-port-configuration active |
6.
|
Run "reboot" command on both switches |
<HPE>reboot Start to check configuration with next startup configuration file, please wait.........DONE! This command will reboot the device. Continue? [Y/N]:Y Now rebooting, please wait... System is starting... |
7.
|
Verify the IRF for the 6127XLG switches. | When reboot is finished, verify IRF is
working with both member and ports from previous two switches, which form IRF
to act as one switch now.
