Viprion vcmp guest link failover does not work

Hi all,

 

I have configured 2 vcmp guests and formed cluster. However when I try to unplug the 40G fiber phsically on Viprion on active vcmp guest, it does not trigger failover. Even I set failsafe Vlan, also I have checked that all device group setting is correct (such as failover unicast, network failover etc...)

 

I noticed that the interface of the vcmp guest is still up even I unplug the 40G fiber. Is that any other approach to perform link down failover?

 

Thanks in advance.

    When you remove the QSFP, the slot on the Host, should show as UNPOPULATED, as such the Trunks\VLANs using those the interfaces should show as offline. The failover should thus kick on.

     

    What does it show when you remove the QSFP?

    have you configured the multicast failover? this is recommended for Viprion. Then I would use failover groups to trigger the cluster. With them you could specify trunks and pools as failover conditions. Also please do not share vlan's between vcmp guest.
