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.

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?

Then you should be able to fall back. Spelling errors courtesy of Swype for iOS...

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.
