Hello,
we got 2 brand new 5406Rzl Chassis with two J9827A Management Modules each and some 24p 1G RJ45 Ports and 8p 10G SFP+ Ports.
As I tried to configure the switch to VSF, cause of this will be the main router in our system I figured out, that somehow the second management modul is offline - and don't bring it online.
When pulling out the running one, I sometimes run into a state, where I can configure the new management module with the chassis as a new switch, without running vsf on it, waited several minutes.
If I initiate a reboot of the system only with the second module active, it boots into VSF, but, that's not what I wanted - we were promised to have full redundancy on the chassis and redundancy during the VSF.
This is how they were configured with the modules

I'm still in basic testing on the system, but this was a main feature, why we decided on this type of switch.
Any suggestions on here? - Or is this just not possible?
