Onboarding a switch with preexisting config

Onboarding a switch with preexisting config

I have a Dell switch in production. I now need to add it to HiveManager. Must I erase the startup config, reboot the switch and configure it from scratch in HM interface? Or is there a less intrusive way for me to perform this?

Hi Ana-Maria,

Be warned - I'm new to Dell switches in HiveManager as well - bit Idid have a similar issue. Unfortunately, I tried a number of things to resolve it at the same time so, I'm not sure which solved it - but two things to check;

 

1) I've couldn't see where routed ports and other layer3 information is to be stored in HiveManager - so, just check that the config push is not "cutting off the branch you're sitting on" - i.e. that the interface you need for HiveManager to reach the switch is not being cut off by inappropriate config.

 

2) I had AAA running on the switch and one of the issues was that there were authentication failures on the ACS server for user "hivemanager" (or something similar. Ensuring local authentication works and turning off AAA authen and authorization may help.

 

Best of luck, Martin

Ok, I created a template, as close to the current config as possible; some options I couldn't configure via web GUI - I added using the supplemental CLI. When I push the config update, it gets stuck at 30% and then the switch reboots. Some (debug) logs right before reboot:

I know some commands go through (for example hostname changes from hive to hive12). What am I missing?

I guess it depends on the actual configuration. We create templates, thus permitting us to assign port types, VLANs, etc prior to deployment. If you choose this method, you'll be able to duplicate your config within HIveManager and have a less intrusive migration,.
