I'm shamelessly plagiarizing some of my colleagues because this data is just too good to not share.
Q). Has anybody converted a standalone physical
interface into a single-mode vif/ifgrp non-disruptively before?
It should just be a matter of tweaking the
partner interfaces and rc files at the appropriate times and doing some
takeover/givebacks, but if someone has actually done it for real rather than me
working out what I “think” will work in theory then that would be
nice.
I’ve got cutting and pasting or “source” a
script file that downs all the vlan interfaces, etc then creates a singlemode
ifgrp, then recreates all the vlans, aliases, etc as an option, but am also
looking for other options that might sound a little bit more NDU to a cust
that’s a bit hot at the moment rather than playing with live interfaces on an
active controller.
A). As
far as the VIF goes I would copy to original rc file, place the new rc in place
and yes do takeover/givebacks so long as the networking is done correctly the
filers should boot up cleanly using the new rc file.
