Migrating to a two-node switched cluster with Broadcom-supported BES-53248 cluster switches
If you have a two-node switchless cluster, you can migrate, non-disruptively, to a two-node switched cluster that includes Broadcom-supported BES-53248 cluster switches. The procedure you use depends on whether you have two dedicated cluster-network ports on each controller or a single cluster port on each controller. The process documented works for all nodes using optical or twinax ports but is not supported on this switch if nodes are using onboard 10Gb BASE-T RJ45 ports for the cluster-network ports.
Most systems require two dedicated cluster-network ports on each controller.
Ensure that the BES-53248 cluster switch is set up as described in the previous chapters before starting this migration process. See Setting up the Broadcom BES-53248 cluster switch.
