You will get an error trying to remove the last 10Gb port on the ifgrp if VLANs are assigned "Error: command failed: Can't remove the last port of an ifgrp while the ifgrp is referenced by a vlan".  However, if you leave the ifgrp and port before you reconfigure, if the ports are the same you may not need to delete the ports from the ifgrp.  Of if different, you may be able to add the new port before removing the old port with all LIFs re-homed temporarily to another node.  Need hardware to test on..  Since you are using the same PCIe slot this might work well after testing this first.

I’m never sure how much you can trust the simulator with hardware related things like these and I do not have spare gear at hand here to try it myself :-/

I’ll see if I can dig something up and will try it on a physical system too, then.

 

Thanks,

That might work.

 

If I get a chance, I will try on a simulator today.

Yah, that’s what I thought needs to be done, but that’s a bit cumbersome given the fact that there are like 100 VLANs configured on a0a and I need to update all broadcast domain memberships, etc. too – and I can only remove the VLAN ports if they’re not configured as home ports on any lifs I guess, to quite some fiddeling would be involved here.

 

What I’m looking for basically is something like disable a0a, remove all 10g ports, so I will end up with an empty a0a but all the VLANs on top of it will still be there, then halt the node, add the 40G adapter, add its ports to a0a -> done.

Would that work or am I overlooking something obvious?

If you fail the a0a over to another node, making sure auto fall back is disabled, then destroy the a0a on the node, halt it, remove the 10g card, replace with the 40g card and recreate a0a with its vlans. Then you should be able to fall back.

Hey there,

 

I’m currently thinking about upgrading some of my filers from 10G to 40G interfaces. This would involve pulling out the 10G card and inserting the 40G card, so one halt per node is necessary, which isn’t really the problem.

I’m just a bit unsure of the best way to move my a0a ifgrp to the new ports – I remember that in the past when you wanted to switch the ifgrp to a different portspeed, you had to recreate it completely which is a bit cumbersome due to all the VLANs built on top of it – has that changed?

 

If I issue a takeover of the first system and replace the card, it will probably boot up with a broken ifgrp configuration since it cannot find the physical ports in the ifgrp anymore and I’m looking for the best way to do a physical port upgrade like this now, so if anyone has gone through that already, feedback would be greatly appreciated.

 

Best,
