Has any progress been made with the app for VSF? 10.05.0030 and still not able to stack two new switches, using the SFP56 DAC interconnects. As Ricardo said nearly a year ago, the configuration appears to work up until commit time. Then the member switch times out and a failure message is presented.
After manually rebooting (power off/on), the secondary joins, but attempting to login using its console puts the admin in "member02" low-level console, rather than backup. Rebooting with the DAC link disconnected results in the secondary not being able to complete the boot.
Stacking at the CLI seems to work as intended.
I've seen the same behaviour using the app with the 6200, and have configured them at the CLI successfully.
Feels like a TAC call coming on...
Solved - needed to define a secondary/standby. Did that and things worked well. Missed the checkbox in the app. Can do this from the app by editing the member and checking the box, or using the CLI to declare which member is the standby member.

My experience with 6300M VSF:
- Configure everything either manually or using the Mobile App
- Everything is working
- Remove power from the switches.
- Connect the switches to power
- Wait
- Only master works; all others get stuck on boot.
