Hi,

Can you update the switch firmware to the latest version? There was a fix for some failover issues. http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/04/DriverDetails/Product/powerconnect-6224?driverId=77XG3&osCode=NAA&fileId=3288111910&languageCode=en&categoryId=NI

Are the ports in a static or LACP lag?

Hi Josh,

ok, im go update for lastest version, and about ports in a static or LACP lag, the ports are static.
but documentation of vmware and dell, with static ports the stack should work

regards

Hi Josh,

i update de firmware with lastest version, and the stack dont work in both switch. when i start/power on second switch 

the same show me in console the follow message and not work. ( UNIT 1 - Waiting to select management unit ) and not

happen.

if you can help me.

regards.

Are both units showing that they are unit one in the stack? Or does switch one work correctly and you only get an error on switch 2, if they are stacked all commands are run through the master. If you run show stack port what does it show?

Does show switch 2 from the switch 1 cli show the 2nd switch?

follow results of comands.

but the both units dont work togehter, 1 unit stay in standby mode.

yes, each port of servers-esxi have lag configuration on each switch, but the traffic bettwen switch dont happen, the second switch dont work active-active with master, and i need config each port, jumbo frames in each switch, i cant config just one and replicate for other automatically, is this correct ??

regards 

That looks like the stack is operating correctly. Is each server in its own lag with one more on each of the switches?

Stacking makes the two switches act like a single switch, so if you need to configure ports on switch 2, it is done from the switch 1 cli, as it is the master,

ok, but the switch 1 i had her work in my enviroment, i add the 2 switch after. and for example, if i disconect the cable 1 port 1 of  switch 1, the enviroment
dont can stop, because the switch 2 and stack have work with this port and this not happen, i lost connection with this server. you can understand me ??

i need that 2 switch stay with HA, work active-active.
