Hello Nacho, since you named the Aruba 2930F and a production stack we suppose you're dealing with an already formed VSF Stack made of two or more Aruba 2930F switches and your plan is to add another Aruba 2930F switch to that VSF Stack. Is it correct? If so I suggest you to read the
Backplane Stacking and VSF Best Practices for ArubaOS-Switch thread and, particularly, to have a look at the
attached PDF, there you will find the Alpha and Omega of dealing with an VSF Stack for its deployment, maintenance and troubleshooting.
First of all you need to check how the current production VSF was built (topology, involved members, etc.) and what is its current health status, then you can plan how you want to connect (if the VSF uses a ring topology you necessarily need to break the ring to insert the new member, if instead the VSF uses a chain topology you just need to add the new switch at one end of the chain) and how you want to provision the additional member.

Subject: procedure on integrating a new switch to a production stack
Good Morning,Is there a procedure that indicates how to integrate a new switch to a production stack step by step?I need to know if it entails a cut in its operation, if at the time of connecting it it is better to be off and then turn it on, the configurations that are created directly ........
