14.1 Process
For each VC interconnect module you want to set up as an active/active configuration in the
appliance, make configuration changes to the following resources:
DescriptionTaskResource
From the Networks screen:
• For Name, assign names to the networks following
“Requirements and best practices for an active/active
configuration” (page 148)
• For Type, select Ethernet.
• For VLAN ID, enter the same ID for the pair of networks.
• Make sure Smart Link is selected.
• For more information about networks, see “Managing
networks and network resources” (page 135), the online
help for the Networks screen, or the REST API scripting
help for networks and network sets.
1. Add a pair of Ethernet networks for
each VLAN you want to connect: one
network for the first interconnect module
and another for the second interconnect
module using the same VLAN ID. For
example, create Dev101_A and
Dev101_B for VLAN ID 101.
Networks
• You can either add the networks to existing uplink sets
or create new uplink sets for the networks.
• Uplinks in each uplink set must be restricted to a single
interconnect.
• Duplicate VLAN IDs are not allowed in the same uplink
set.
• For more information, see “Managing interconnects,
logical interconnects, and logical interconnect groups”
(page 141), the online help for the Logical Interconnects
screen, or the REST API scripting help for logical
interconnect groups and the REST API for the
uplink-sets resource.
NOTE: If you change the name of an uplink set in Logical
Interconnect Groups and then select Actions→Update from
group in the Logical Interconnects screen, connectivity is
briefly interrupted.
2. Add a pair of uplink sets to associate
the networks to the uplink ports on the
interconnect module. One set of
networks assigned to the uplink set
which has ports on the first interconnect
module. The other networks assigned to
the uplink set which has ports on the
second interconnect module. For
example, uplink port X5 is defined in
both sets, UplinkSet_A for bay 1 and
UplinkSet_B for bay 2. Dev101_A
is assigned to UplinkSet_A and
Dev101_B is assigned to
UplinkSet_B.

• Adding a network to a network set does not require that
you take resources offline. Server profiles that have
connections to the network set do not have to be
updated when a network is added to the network set.
• Duplicate VLAN IDs are not allowed in the same network
set.
• Each network set should have multiple networks.
• For more information about network sets, see
“Managing networks and network resources” (page 135),
the online help for the Network Sets screen, or the REST
API scripting help for networks and network sets.
3. (Optional) Add a pair (or more) of
network sets. Each set should include
only networks that are intended to be
used on the same server profile
connection. For example, create
network set DevSet_A for all your
development Dev_A networks and
DevSet_B for all your development
Dev_B networks.
Network Sets
• Powering off the server before changing the server
profile is optional.
• When adding a connection to the server profile, select
the physical port that is connected to the module with
the uplink set that has the networks configured for that
connection. Do not select Auto.
• For more information about server profiles, see
“Managing server hardware and server profiles”
(page 121), the online help for the Server Profiles screen,
or the REST API scripting help for server profiles.
