Deleting a logical interconnect

To delete a logical interconnect, you must remove the enclosure from management.

16.2.4 About logical interconnect groups

A logical interconnect group is associated with an enclosure group and is used to define the logical interconnect configuration for every enclosure that is added to that enclosure group. Logical interconnect configurations include the I/O bay occupancy, stacking mode, uplink ports and uplink sets, available networks, and downlinks.

The logical interconnect group reserves the appropriate interconnect ports for stacking links required for the stacking mode. For the enclosure stacking mode:

•All interconnects in an enclosure are members of the logical interconnect.•Horizontally adjacent interconnects must be the same interconnect type.

•Horizontally adjacent interconnects reserve one port per enclosure for internal stacking links, called East-West links.

•Vertically adjacent interconnects reserve an additional port per enclosure for external stacking links, called North-South links.

The uplink sets portion of the logical interconnect group defines the initial configuration for uplink sets for each enclosure added to the enclosure group. You can change the uplink sets for a logical interconnect, and existing enclosures are not affected by changes you make to uplink sets in the logical interconnect group. If you change the uplink sets for an existing logical interconnect group, only enclosures that you add after the configuration change are configured with the new uplink set configuration.

For more information about logical interconnects and the rules for uplink sets, see the online help for the Logical Interconnects screen.

When you add an enclosure and assign an enclosure group, the appliance creates a logical interconnect for that enclosure. The logical interconnect it creates matches the configuration specified by the logical interconnect group that is associated with the enclosure group. When the add operation completes, the interconnects are fully configured and the networks are available for use by server profiles.
