no you dont, just connect the OOBM interfaces directly.
If my post was useful accept solution and/or give kudos.

Hi Ariyap,
Sorry for late response, in the document which you send me, VSF best practice guide
VSF split detection
In order to mitigate the effects of a VSF split, a split-detection (also known as Multi-Active Detection, or MAD) method should
be configured and utilized. The 6300 Switch Series supports using a connection between the OOBM ports on the primary and
secondary members to detect when a split has occurred. The OOBM ports can either be directly connected using an Ethernet
cable, or connected to a common Layer 2 broadcast domain via a dedicated OOBM switch or network. In the latter case, the
OOBM ports on the primary and secondary can be assigned a global stack OOBM IP address and used normally for remote
management
Both switch's management port connected directly .
My configure:
Switch# show interface mgmt
Address Mode : dhcp
Admin State : up
Link State : up
Mac Address : 5c:a4:7d:4f:ea:70
IPv4 address/subnet-mask :
Default gateway IPv4 :
IPv6 address/prefix :
IPv6 link local address/prefix: fe80::5ea4:7dff:fe4f:ea81/64
Default gateway IPv6 :
Primary Nameserver :
Secondary Nameserver :
Tertiary Nameserver :
Do i need to configure IP address for Management port ?
Thanks so much.

one way to check it is the output of the "show vsf" which indicates that split detection is enabled and it is the out of band mgmt interface.
you can also test the vsf link failure by disconnecting the stacking cables and observing the behavior. But before that I suggest to go through the VSF best practice guide which covers Split stack operations and various scenarios

Hi Expert,
I am new with Aruba product, i have configured stack 2 switch 6300M Version: FT.10.10.1070 following this guide from Aruba
https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/AOS-CX/10.09/PDF/vsf.pdf
with show vsf
Force Autojoin : Disabled
Autojoin Eligibility Status: Not Eligible
MAC Address : 5c:a4:7d:4f:ea:80
Secondary : 2
Topology : Ring
Status : No Split
Split Detection Method : mgmt
switch(config)# vsf split-detect mgmt
The management interface of conductor and Standby connected directly.
Could you please guide how can i check the split detection working properly ?
Thanks
