Migrating from a two-node switchless cluster to a cluster with Cisco Nexus 3232C cluster switches

You must be aware of certain configuration information, port connections, and cabling requirements when you migrate a two-node switchless cluster to a cluster with Cisco Nexus 3232C cluster switches.

You must have the following before you begin the migration process:

  • Available ports for node connections:

    The cluster switches use the Inter-Switch Link (ISL) ports e1/31-32.

  • Appropriate cables for cluster connections:
    • The nodes with 10 GbE cluster connections require QSFP optical modules with breakout fiber cables or QSFP to SFP+ copper breakout cables.
    • The nodes with 40/100 GbE cluster connections require supported QSFP/ QSFP28 optical modules with fiber cables or QSFP/QSFP28 copper direct-attach cables.
    • The cluster switches require the appropriate ISL cabling: 2x QSFP28 fiber or copper direct-attach cables.
