Configuring Active-Active for Procurve Switch
This is what we plan to do:
Switch A has module A (24 ports) and Switch B has module A (24 ports).
1. Switch A and B configured in Active-Active mode.
2. Module A Port 1 in Switch A and Module A Port 1 in Switch B needs to be trunked.
3. Server NIC1 will connect to Switch A, Module A, Port1. Server NIC2 will connect to Switch B, Module A, Port 1.
This way, if one switch, UTP cable, or Server NIC fails, the server will still be reachable.
The VLAN for the modules are not configured (just the default VLAN). The switches sole purpose is for our storage.
Thanks.

Re: Configuring Active-Active for Procurve Switch
Maybe i overlooked it but i don't see it also on feature matrix:
http://h40060.www4.hp.com/procurve/uk/en/pdfs/quick_reference/quick_reference_EEE.pdf
So I think you have following options.
- Put 2 modules to same switches and create trunk between ports from different modules, so if one fail your server is still reachable. However this will not provide you redundancy when whole switch fail.
- configure teaming on server so when one NIC fail, 2nd connected on other switch will be enabled. I think there is various settings of teaming on servers so maybe there would be possible setup some kind of loadbalancing in order to use both NICs
Good luck.

Re: Configuring Active-Active for Procurve Switch
Thanks for replied.
I tried stack but it just devices management. When will the new firmware release for switches clustering?
Thanks
