Dell Networking SmartFabric Services and VxRail

Hi there,

Currently, there are two Dell S4128F switches configured in SFS with leaf mode, serving as a leaf pair for the VxRail cluster. Notably, there are no spine switches present in the environment.

As the hardware refreshment approaches, aimed at replacing the S4128F switches with S5224F switches, the focus is on executing this transition seamlessly, without any downtime or configuration changes.

Although some documentation mentions switch replacement options, it primarily addresses replacing a faulty switch with the same model, particularly when operating as a VLT pair. However, I am uncertain if this guidance applies to transitioning between different switch models!

I seek clarity or additional documentation tailored to this specific scenario to ensure a smooth transition. Any insights or resources you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
