Any options out there on replacing the fans to something quieter ??
I have mine up and running okay - but would love to swap out the fans for a quieter experience.
what are the specs on these things ?
I got the pair for $300 - so I cannot complain about them. It is just a little different than other switches I have workd on. My background is on the enterprise level server side and these are not nearly as loud as my IBM Power Systems that runs AIX and IBMi - WHen I power those puppies up...
Thanks everyone for their input.......
Apparently when I refresh the VCS cluster back to default settings I did not redo the uplink on port one of switch one. It got set back to default and I missed that as I was focused on switch2's configuration.
Now I am all good - and all I did was leave...
I moved the 40GB to port51 and left everything default. Now I show two fabric ISL links - I still cannot get out of the switch.

I agree - the reason I said ISL is that the Mode still shows as ISL for the port.

A little more background - because the first time I tried to disable ISL I ended up in a split brain VCS fabric where each side saw the other as offline and themselves online - So I connected a 10GB for the fabric ISL so I could shutdown the port and reconfigure to the settings it has -

This is the settings on the port

Okay
I now have two working 6740 s and I connected them together with the 40Gb link. It showed up as an ISL link - running at 40GB and is connected.
show vcs showed both the switches had joined together. However, it is as though there is no network traffic moving between them. IN just...
I know the 325 can as I did that a few months back - you will need a controller to do that - I built a VM for that and used a TEMP license you can download the VM version from Aruba online and I think you get 30 days without a license. The process works great and they are all up and running.
I just received a VDX 6740 - Rethinking that I might have taken the wrong pill here - Either way I am going to get to learn something out of it.
I have a pair of them - pretty clean units - only has the 16 Licenses for 10Gb would like to hear about options please.
Okay I found this forum the hard way - I have a group of AP325 and also a few IAP-325
I upgrade the AP325 to 8.6 and as I have no controller I did the upgrade via TFTP server with no issues - so now I have an upgraded 8.6 version that still loops looking for its controller.
Now here is an...
