How to force reset of Virtual Connect Flex-10 module?
Robert wanted to reset the VC Flex-10 modules for a customer:
**********************************************************************************************
Question: How do you reset the configuration of a Flex-10 module if you cannot access it from the GUI or SSH?
***********************************************************************************************
Lee jumped into the problem:
***************************************************************************************
Team,
I asked the customer the remove both modules and only replace the bay 1 module until the VCM comes up, then plug in the bay 2 module. I’ve never tried it, but I’ll assume it works that way.
The real question is this: What if the customer can’t remove the modules in a situation like this, i.e. no DC access. Is there a way to force the module in bay 1 to take over Primary? Is there some undocumented feature that can force a module to be primary if both are showing secondary?
****************************************************************************************
Greg got involved:
*****************************************************************************
Via the OA you can either poweroff or reset any interconnect or device bay
Affecting this on VC2 would force the VC1 to become primary.
Note: You need to be VERY confident that the hosted OS loads are well connected as far as network paths are concerned, ie. teamed via both VC1 and VC2
*******************************************************************************
To which Cullen remarked:
*************************************************************************
Based on my experience, it can take quite a long time (more than 15 minutes) for a module to become VCM primary when you power down the other module.
*******************************************************************
Any other input here? Let us know.
