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
  1. Install and cable the satellite module in frame 2, bay 3:
    1. Place the satellite module into the frame 2, bay 3.
    2. Connect port L1 on the satellite module in frame 2, bay 3 to port L1 on the master module in frame 1, bay 3.
    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.
  2. Remove the master module from frame 1, bay 6:
    1. Make note of the port locations of all uplink connections for the master module in frame 1, bay 6.
    2. Remove all uplink connections from the master module in frame 1, bay 6.
    3. Remove the interconnect module cluster links between the master modules in frame 1, bay 3 and bay 6.
    4. Remove the master module from frame 1, bay 6.
  3. Install and wire the master module in frame 2, bay 6:
    1. Place the master module into frame 2, bay 6.
    2. Cable all of the uplink connections of the master module in frame 2, bay 6 as they were before step 2.
    3. Cable the interconnect module cluster links between the master module in frame 1, bay 3 and master module in frame 2, bay 6.
  4. Install and wire the satellite module in frame 1, bay 6:
    1. Place the satellite module into frame 1, bay 6.
    2. Connect port L1 on the satellite module in frame 1, bay 5 to port L1 on the master module in frame 1, bay 6.
    3. Connect port L2 on the satellite module in frame 1, bay 6 to port L4 on the master module in frame 2, bay 6.
