HPE Alletra 6000 dHCI solution with new SN2010M switches

[jlangmead]

Hi

I'm trying to find updated information relating to an Alletra 6000 dHCI deployment with SN2010M switches that come with Cumulus NOS rather than the older Onyx NOS. 

The switch setup information for SN2010M information included in the guide seems to be only for Onyx. Please can you provide a link to an updated document that covers the necessary commands for configuring the SN2010M switches when Cumulus NOS is installed.

Many thanks

Hi jlangmead

For the HPE Alletra 6ooo dHCI deployment, I request you to go through
HPE Alletra dHCI Deployment Guide for New installations on Array OS 6.1. X and Later

and to switch setup information, please go through the "Downloading and installing the Cumulus Linux NOS" KB article.

Hope this helps.!!

Regards
Mahesh.

Hi @Mahesh202 

That isn't quite what I was after but there is an Alletra PCBE document using Cumulus SN2010M switches available. I needed to go via support to be sent a copy. It's still in draft at the moment and so I guess it will be released to partners soon.

Although it contains errors and still needs to be proof read, it provided enough details to allow me to complete the switch config

thanks

Hi jlangmead

I am glad you could work through the errors and get enough information to finish your switch configuration.
Regarding the document you mentioned, I would appreciate your help in providing more details about the document so I can share it with the relevant team to have it corrected.

Hi @Mahesh202 

Thanks

I've included the link to the document I was directed to as I was specifically needing info on configuring the SN2010M switches for Alletra DHCI (now PCBE) solutions . This doc covers the SN2010M configuration which now ships with Cumulus NOS rather than the previous Onyx NOS. There are some flaws in the document so hopefully it will soon be updated to fix these.

@jlangmead Wow that guide is great. I'm not sure where you found that, but can you point me in that direction? We have an Alletra MP with SN2010M switches and are looking for the same kind of setup guide.

Hi @CVO1 

I was sent the document by HPE Support - I think much of it would be applicable to non DHCI Alletra MP environments too and is specifically for Alletra MP PCBE environments

You could also take a look at the below.

I'm hoping that HPE will produce an updated version as there are a few issues with this one that coule do with being addressed.

kind regards
