FI 6332 HA Not Online

[itguy1024]

I'm having some trouble getting the HA to come online for our cluster. I'd assume it would come online on it's own but it doesn't seem to be.
Not sure what direction to take this or what information to provide.

Can you provide the outputs from UCS CLI:

UCS#show cluster extended-state

UCS#show pmon state

If you have not attached any chassis to your 6332, HA will not become ready, as it needs to have a heartbeat over the L1-L2 links between the switches, as well as a heartbeat down through the chassis from FI-A > IOM-A > IOM-B > FI-B

[Wes Austin · Accepted solution]

As suspected, until you attach chassis or rack servers to the FI, you will not be in HA READY. This is expected. Please report back if issue persist after installing chassis.

Wes,

Are the L1 and L2 ports to be direct connected (daisy chained) to the other FI or through a switch?

[Wes Austin]

Hello,

The L1-L2 should be directly connected to each other. L1 - L1 : L2-L2.

There should be no switch in between and ideally no patch panel either.

HTH,

Wes
