  • 1.  Replace VSF Stack Conductor - 6200F

    Posted Jul 02, 2024 03:26 AM

    We switched over to Aruba switches in the last year and need to replace the conductor for a stack of 3 switches.  Aruba has sent a new switch so it's the same model/part number.

    I found this how-to, but cannot find what commands to use in the CLI to switch over the conductor in step 6.

    Outside of that is it really that simple to replace the conductor switch?  The new one is defaulted.  Thank you!

    Same Part Number

    The following section describes the procedures for replacing the conductor, standby, or any other member with the same part number:

    Replacing the Conductor

    To replace the conductor in the VSF stack, complete the following steps:

    1. Shut down the conductor member in the stack.
    2. Wait for the standby member to become the conductor.
    3. Replace the conductor switch.
    4. Move the VSF link from the old conductor to the new conductor.
    5. Power up the new conductor switch.
    6. Switchover to the new conductor in the switch CLI.
    7. Verify the status of the stack in the switch monitoring pages. For more information, see Summary Tab in Switch Dashboard and Monitoring AOS-CX Switch Stacks.

    Replacing an AOS-CX VSF Stack Member

    Replacing an AOS-CX VSF Stack Member
    You can replace either the conductor, standby, or any other member of the stack with the same or different part number. You must perform these configurations directly on the switch and switch CLI, outside . The configurations performed directly on the switch are synchronized in Aruba Central.

    Than you for the follow.  It ended up we had a member switch go down instead of the conductor.  We were able to get it online by replacing it with another switch after running "erase all zeroize" on it.  We then attached it to the stack with the DAC cables, powered it up and joined right up as member 3 like the one we pulled it.
