Replace Cisco Nexus 3132Q-V cluster switches

12/12/2024 Contributors

Follow this procedure to replace a defective Cisco Nexus 3132Q-V switch in a cluster network. The replacement procedure is a nondisruptive procedure (NDO).

Review requirements

Switch requirements

Review the Requirements for replacing Cisco Nexus 3132Q-V cluster switches.

Before you begin

The existing cluster and network configuration has:
- The Nexus 3132Q-V cluster infrastructure is redundant and fully functional on both switches.
  
  The Cisco Ethernet Switch page has the latest RCF and NX-OS versions on your switches.
- All cluster ports are in the up state.
- Management connectivity exists on both switches.
- All cluster logical interfaces (LIFs) are in the up state and have been migrated.
For the Nexus 3132Q-V replacement switch, make sure that:
- Management network connectivity on the replacement switch is functional.
- Console access to the replacement switch is in place.
- The desired RCF and NX-OS operating system image switch is loaded onto the switch.
- Initial customization of the switch is complete.
Hardware Universe

Enable console logging

NetApp strongly recommends that you enable console logging on the devices that you are using and take the following actions when replacing your switch:

Leave AutoSupport enabled during maintenance.
Trigger a maintenance AutoSupport before and after maintenance to disable case creation for the duration of the maintenance. See this Knowledge Base article SU92: How to suppress automatic case creation during scheduled maintenance windows for further details.
Enable session logging for any CLI sessions. For instructions on how to enable session logging, review the "Logging Session Output" section in this Knowledge Base article How to configure PuTTY for optimal connectivity to ONTAP systems.

Replace the switch

This procedure replaces the second Nexus 3132Q-V cluster switch CL2 with new 3132Q-V switch C2.

About the examples

The examples in this procedure use the following switch and node nomenclature:

n1_clus1 is the first cluster logical interface (LIF) connected to cluster switch C1 for node n1.
n1_clus2 is the first cluster LIF connected to cluster switch CL2 or C2, for node n1.
n1_clus3 is the second LIF connected to cluster switch C2, for node n1.
n1_clus4 is the second LIF connected to cluster switch CL1, for node n1.
The number of 10 GbE and 40 GbE ports are defined in the reference configuration files (RCFs) available on the Cisco® Cluster Network Switch Reference Configuration File Download page.
The nodes are n1, n2, n3, and n4. - The examples in this procedure use four nodes: Two nodes use four 10 GB cluster interconnect ports: e0a, e0b, e0c, and e0d. The other two nodes use two 40 GB cluster interconnect ports: e4a and e4e. See the Hardware Universe for the actual cluster ports on your platforms.

About this task

This procedure covers the following scenario:

The cluster starts with four nodes connected to two Nexus 3132Q-V cluster switches, CL1 and CL2.
Cluster switch CL2 is to be replaced by C2
- On each node, cluster LIFs connected to CL2 are migrated onto cluster ports connected to CL1.
- Disconnect cabling from all ports on CL2 and reconnect cabling to the same ports on the replacement switch C2.
- On each node, its migrated cluster LIFs are reverted.

Step 1: Prepare for replacement

If AutoSupport is enabled on this cluster, suppress automatic case creation by invoking an AutoSupport message:

system node autosupport invoke -node * -type all - message MAINT=xh

x is the duration of the maintenance window in hours.

The AutoSupport message notifies technical support of this maintenance task so that automatic case creation is suppressed during the maintenance window.

Verify that the appropriate RCF and image are installed on the new Nexus 3132Q-V switch as necessary for your requirements, and make any essential site customizations.

You must prepare the replacement switch at this time. If you need to upgrade the RCF and image, you must follow these steps:
1. On the NetApp Support Site, go to the Cisco Ethernet Switch page.
2. Note your switch and the required software versions in the table on that page.
3. Download the appropriate version of the RCF.
4. Click CONTINUE on the Description page, accept the license agreement, and then follow the instructions on the Download page to download the RCF.
5. Download the appropriate version of the image software.

This example shows the ISL ports 1/31 and 1/32 being shut down on switch CL1:
(CL1)# configure (CL1)(Config)# interface e1/31-32 (CL1)(config-if-range)# shutdown (CL1)(config-if-range)# exit (CL1)(Config)# exit (CL1)#

Step 2: Configure ports

Remove all the cables attached to the Nexus 3132Q-V switch CL2 and reconnect them to the replacement switch C2 on all nodes.
Remove the ISL cables from ports e1/31 and e1/32 on CL2 and reconnect them to the same ports on the replacement switch C2.

Bring up ISLs ports 1/31 and 1/32 on the Nexus 3132Q-V switch CL1:

(CL1)# configure
(CL1)(Config)# interface e1/31-32
(CL1)(config-if-range)# no shutdown
(CL1)(config-if-range)# exit
(CL1)(Config)# exit
(CL1)#

Verify that the ISLs are up on CL1:

show port-channel

Ports Eth1/31 and Eth1/32 should indicate (P), which means that the ISL ports are up in the port-channel.

Show example

CL1# show port-channel summary

Verify that the ISLs are up on C2:

show port-channel summary

Ports Eth1/31 and Eth1/32 should indicate (P), which means that both ISL ports are up in the port-channel.

On all nodes, bring up all the cluster interconnect ports connected to the Nexus 3132Q-V switch C2:

network port modify

Show example

cluster::*> network port modify -node n1 -port e0b -up-admin true
cluster::*> network port modify -node n1 -port e0c -up-admin true
cluster::*> network port modify -node n2 -port e0b -up-admin true
cluster::*> network port modify -node n2 -port e0c -up-admin true
cluster::*> network port modify -node n3 -port e4e -up-admin true
cluster::*> network port modify -node n4 -port e4e -up-admin true

For all nodes, revert all of the migrated cluster interconnect LIFs:

network interface revert

Show example

cluster::*> network interface revert -vserver Cluster -lif n1_clus2
cluster::*> network interface revert -vserver Cluster -lif n1_clus3
cluster::*> network interface revert -vserver Cluster -lif n2_clus2
cluster::*> network interface revert -vserver Cluster -lif n2_clus3
Cluster::*> network interface revert –vserver Cluster –lif n3_clus2
Cluster::*> network interface revert –vserver Cluster –lif n4_clus2

Verify that the cluster interconnect ports are now reverted to their home:

network interface show

Show example

This example shows that all the LIFs are successfully reverted because the ports listed under the Current Port column have a status of true in the Is Home column. If the Is Home column value is false, the LIF has not been reverted.

You can use the network interface check cluster-connectivity command to start an accessibility check for cluster connectivity and then display the details:

network interface check cluster-connectivity start and network interface check cluster-connectivity show

cluster1::*> network interface check cluster-connectivity start
