Virtual-service-blade reduncancy not working

hegleran
Level 1
Level 1

I have a pair of n1010 appliances in an HA pair. The redundancy is working as expected. I have an existing virtual-service-blade configured and enabled, which is operating as expected in an HA mode. When I attempt to build a second virtual-service-blade with a unique svs domain number, HA never establishes. Both virtual-service-blades are configured in an L3 mode. Both use the same vlan for control and packet interfaces. Both virtual-service-blades have management interfaces configured in the same subnet. I am not sure why the second virtual service blade is failing to establish HA.

Note that the vsb failing to establish HA is v1ksdc04.

Relevant code from the n1010

virtual-service-blade SDC-UCS01
  virtual-service-blade-type name VSM-1.2
  interface control vlan 480
  interface packet vlan 480
  ramsize 2048
  disksize 3
  numcpu 1
  cookie 199249335
  no shutdown primary
  no shutdown secondary
interface VsbEthernet1/1
interface VsbEthernet1/2
interface VsbEthernet1/3
virtual-service-blade v1ksdc04
  virtual-service-blade-type name VSM-1.2
  interface control vlan 480
  interface packet vlan 480
  ramsize 2048
  disksize 3
  numcpu 1
  cookie 824653835
  no shutdown
interface VsbEthernet2/1
interface VsbEthernet2/2
interface VsbEthernet2/3 

svs-domain
  domain id 2
  control vlan 480
  management vlan 480
  svs mode L2 

 

Relevant code from the vsb that is functioning as expected:

svs-domain
  domain id 1000
  control vlan 480
  packet vlan 480
  svs mode L3 interface mgmt0

I am not certain why there is an error in getting the supervisor and internal state of the secondary supervisor. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

'Active with warm standby' means that the VSB sees the other VSB on the management VLAN but not the control VLAN. So you would want to trace the control VLAN between these VSBs and verify that it is end to end.

HTH,

Joe
