[c-nsp] Cisco 5k with HP flex Fabric

[Thomason, Simon]

Hi All,

Has anyone run into issues with adding new vlans to a VPC for HP blades? I have just provisioned a new network to pump down to my HP blades but have run into issues on the HP farm.

Currently have 12 chassis spread over 2 sites with 2 new networks (1 per site) not working at all at one site and only 1 of the 6 chassis working with the new network.

At both sites I have allocated a new port with just this new network on it and brought up a server fine on the new network.

At our DR site I have had the server team reboot both flexfabric one at a time and still does not work.

I have even gone to the length of having the new VLAN taken off and put back on the flex fabric.

Just wanted to see if anyone else had run into an issues like this. Server team currently have a job opened with HP but wanted to see if anyone could help here.

Below is some code for the VPC but the only real difference is that the working one has a few less vlans.
