Mgmt 0 Interface Down - HA not ready

[NaelShahid_2]

Setting up a new set of 6248 FIs running 2.1(a) – HA never becomes ready – After some investigation within NXOS mgmt 0 reports as down “link not connected”, even though I am connected on that interface to both FIs and the cluster IP - I have changed cabled and switch etc. I did also turn off interface monitoring thinking it could be this, however I still have the issue.

Any ideas?

Hi Nael,

Can you check and confirm if the L1 and L2 cables are connected between 2 FI's?

Since you are able to connect to both the FI's using the management IP's, that should be fine.

Also, missed to mention what Robert mentioned. You need to have chassis connected and server links activated for the full HA to be ready.

Nael,

Full HA will not become ready unless there is at least one Chassis configured & discovered.  The Chassis are used in the HA sync process.  Once you enable the server links connecting to your chassis, and discovery completes, HA will initialize shortly afterwards.

Mgmt 0 will always show down in NXOS.

The management interface is maintained by UCSM not NXOS so it will never show up under the NXOS context.

Thanks for the quick response - There are no chassis / servers connected as yet...
