Save Management Network Switch Configuration Settings

Switches must be powered on and operating. This procedure is optional if switch configurations have not changed.

Optional Task: Save management spine and leaf switch configurations, and other network switch configurations before removing power from cabinets or the CDU. Management switch names are listed in the /etc/hosts file.

Procedure

1. Connect to all management network Dell leaf switches and write memory configuration to startup.xml.

   The management switches in CDU cabinets are leaf switches.

   Dell leaf switches, for example sw-leaf-001:

   ncn-m001# ssh admin@sw-leaf-001
   admin@sw-leaf-001s password:
   sw-leaf-001# write memory
   sw-leaf-001# dir config
   sw-leaf-001# exit

   Use a for loop:

   ncn-m001# for sw in sw-leaf-001 sw-leaf-002 sw-cdu-001 sw-cdu-002; \
   do ssh admin@$sw; done

2. Connect to all management network Mellanox spine switches and write memory configuration.

   Mellanox spine switches, for example sw-spine-001.nmn:

   ncn-m001# ssh admin@sw-spine-001.nmn
   admin@sw-spine-001 password:
   
   sw-spine-001# enable
   sw-spine-001# write memory
   sw-spine-001# exit

3. Connect to all management network Aruba switches and write memory configuration.

   ncn-m001# ssh admin@sw-spine-001.nmn
   admin@sw-spine-001 password:
   
   sw-spine-001# write memory
   sw-spine-001# exit

4. Save configuration settings on link aggregation group (LAG) switches that connect customer storage networks to the Slingshot network.

   LAG switches are accessible from the ClusterStor management network.

   ncn-m001# ssh admin@cls01053n00
   admin@cls01053n00 password:
   
   cls01053n00# ssh r0-100gb-sw01
   r0-100gb-sw01# enable
   r0-100gb-sw01# write memory
   r0-100gb-sw01# exit
