Update the logical interconnect configuration from the logical interconnect group

To bring a non-consistent (Inconsistent with group) logical interconnect configuration back into consistency (Consistent) with the logical interconnect group, you must reapply the settings from the logical interconnect group. You can select multiple logical interconnects in the master pane to perform the Update from group action. You can track the Update from group action in the specific logical interconnect Activity page and also in global Activity page. If the Update from Group action fails, a failed task is displayed on the Activity page

Update from group is not performed on already consistent logical interconnect and are automatically excluded from the group operation.

NOTE:

When adding a network, updating a logical interconnect from its group does not require that you take logical interconnect offline.

You can make changes to a logical interconnect without also changing the logical interconnect group. In this case, you add the network to an uplink set on the logical interconnect. However, the appliance labels the logical interconnect as being inconsistent with its group.

NOTE:

You can also select Update from group in the logical enclosure because a non-consistent logical interconnect results in a non-consistent logical enclosure.

Procedure
  1. From the NETWORKING > Logical Interconnects screen, select Actions > Update from group.

    • To select contiguous multiple logical interconnects in the master pane, select the resource at the beginning of the range and press Shift and hold as you select the end of the range.

    • To select individual objects, press Ctrl and hold as you point to and select each object.

    NOTE:

    The Update from group option is not available if the logical interconnect group and logical interconnect are already compliant (Consistency state field is set to Consistent). Consistency alerts are cleared automatically and settings now match the logical interconnect group.

    NOTE:

    You cannot always make a logical interconnect compliant by editing or by manually clearing the alert; typically you must select Actions > Update from group.

    Clearing an alert will impact the health status of the logical interconnect resource (health is equal to the state of the most severe alert that is not cleared). This is a valid use case if you intend for the logical interconnect to not be consistent but want the dashboard to report a healthy (green) status.

  2. Check the confirmation box, confirming you understand all of the implications.
  3. Click Yes, update to confirm.
  4. To verify that the activity is successful, check the activity for a green status in the Notifications area.

    If the activity is not successful, follow the instructions in the proposed resolution.
