Configuring a V-Switch Cluster

Setting the V-Switch ID

When you configure a cluster, you must give each V-Switch a different device ID for proper cluster functioning. Use the CLI command device set to configure the V-Switch ID for each V-Switch.

device set

SWITCH	PARAMETER	DEFINITION	STATUS	EXAMPLE
-id	V-SWITCH ID	ID OF V-SWITCH	MANDATORY IN	1
		IN A CLUSTER	A CLUSTER
		EACH V-SWITCH	0 OR 1
		MUST HAVE A
		DIFFERENT ID

Example:

There are two V-Switches in a cluster. In V-Switch 1 the ID is set to 1.

device set –id 1

In V-Switch 2 the ID is set to 0.

device set –id 0

All CLI names and aliases are case sensitive.

Adding a Neighbor

When you configure a cluster, you must tell each V-Switch that it has a neighbor and how to contact its neighbor. Use the CLI command neighbor add to inform each V-Switch of its neighbor.

You must inform each V-Switch of its neighbor in a cluster. That means that you must tell V-Switch 1 of V-Switch 2 and V-Switch 2 of V-Switch 1.

When creating a cluster, first ensure that you have configured all IP addresses in the correct active/inactive phase as well as portals and IP routes on both V-Switches. For more information on configuring the V- Switch, see “V-Switch Configuration,” page 47.
