Scaling from 1 to 2 frames
Prerequisites
Follow this procedure when scaling from one frame to two frames with one of the following configurations:
HPE Synergy 40Gb F8 Switch
HPE Virtual Connect SE 40Gb F8 Module for HPE Synergy (master) and the HPE Synergy 20Gb Interconnect Link Module (satellite)
Procedure
-
Install and cable the satellite module in
frame 2, bay 3:
- Place the satellite module into the frame 2, bay 3.
- Connect port L1 on the satellite module in frame 2, bay 3 to port L1 on the master module in frame 1, bay 3.
- Connect port L2 on the satellite module in frame 2, bay 3 to port L4 on the master module in frame 1, bay 3.
-
Remove the master module from
frame 1, bay 6:
- Make note of the port locations of all uplink connections for the master module in frame 1, bay 6.
- Remove all uplink connections from the master module in frame 1, bay 6.
- Remove the interconnect module cluster links between the master modules in frame 1, bay 3 and bay 6.
- Remove the master module from frame 1, bay 6.
-
Install and wire the master module in
frame 2, bay 6:
- Place the master module into frame 2, bay 6.
- Cable all of the uplink connections of the master module in frame 2, bay 6 as they were before step 2.
- Cable the interconnect module cluster links between the master module in frame 1, bay 3 and master module in frame 2, bay 6.
-
Install and wire the satellite module in
frame 1, bay 6:
- Place the satellite module into frame 1, bay 6.
- Connect port L1 on the satellite module in frame 1, bay 5 to port L1 on the master module in frame 1, bay 6.
- Connect port L2 on the satellite module in frame 1, bay 6 to port L4 on the master module in frame 2, bay 6.
