Removing an Aruba CX VSF Stack Member

You can remove a member from the Aruba CX VSF stack in Aruba Central. It involves completing procedures both in Aruba Central and the switch CLI.

To remove a member in the VSF stack, complete the following procedure:

1. Unsubscribe all members of the VSF stack from Aruba Central.

2. Wait for the stack to display offline in the switches List view.

3. Delete the stack from Aruba Central.

See Deleting an Offline Switch.

4. Remove the member from the VSF stack in the switch CLI by running the following commands:

For example, in a three-member stack, run the following commands to remove one member.

switch# configure switch(config)# no vsf member 3 The specified switch will be unconfigured and rebooted Do you want to continue (y/n)? y

5. Disconnect the physical VSF links for the member.

6. Update the template in Aruba Central with the configuration from the remaining stack.

7. Add and subscribe the remaining members in the Aruba CX stack to Aruba Central.

8. Assign the stack members to the template group.

9. The new stack and the standalone switch will connect back to Aruba Central.

Run the following commands if you want the switches to reconnect immediately:

switch# configure switch(config)# aruba-central switch(config-aruba-central)# disable switch(config-aruba-central)# enable

OR

switch# start-shell switch:~$ sudo systemctl restart hpe-restd
