Troubleshooting installation and deployment issues
Installation and deployment issues include the initial deployment or creation of a stack, adding additional members or removing members from a stack.
Problem:
When using the Deterministic method, one or more of the statically provisioned members did not join the stack.
Possible reasons a switch does not join a stack
are:
The switch being added is already a member of another stack and has a different stack ID.
The maximum number of switches is already configured.
The switch being added has been statically provisioned. The MAC address matches, but the switch type does not.
There is a problem with the stack cable.
The stack cables are connected in a way that creates an unsupported topology.
Stack module failure.
Solution:
Perform a diagnostic analysis.
