fabric interconnect 6300 - HA not ready many time

[Ron Baduach]

Hi Guys ,

we configured pair of FI 6300 [don't remember exact model] 

they are new out of box

pings are up , heartbeat is OK, but even after 2 hours, HA is still not ready

we tried pmon stop/start , but it didn't helped .

what more can we check ?

thanks a lot guys

Is this a UCS mini?

Do you have a chassis or rack server connected yet?

If those are not connected, then there is no 'tie breaker' for a split brain scenario.

Assuming your mgmt IPs, and L1/L2 cables are correctly connected, the HA should show ready once you successfully connect and discover a UCS Rack server or a Chassis via IOMs.

Thanks,

Kirk...

the model is - Cisco UCS 6332

so , you are saying that until we won't connect Chassis/rack server to those FIs , the HA will show :

"HA Not Ready" ??

[right now we didn't connected any chassis/rack server]

Hey Ron,

If you have just cabled the FI and not connected any chassis, then HA will not form, as it requires the chassis and backplane heartbeat to complete the HA state.
