VxRail expansion with 6 uplinks for VDS
I'm trying to expand a cluster with two new nodes. The existing cluster's nodes each have 6 x 10G uplinks. I've got 6 x 10G uplinks on the new nodes as well.
When I validate in the "Add nodes" wizard, I'm getting a message of
"The size of the nic_mappings should be either 2 or 4 for each VDS"
I'm thinking that the system wants only 4 uplinks? Should I remove 2 uplinks on the existing nodes and new nodes? The system has been running well for a couple of years - I hate to mess with it.
Thanks for any advice.

Hello jfrentheway,
What is your current VxRail cluster version? Do you have a LAG that is configured on your vDS?

Currently on 7.03.370. No LAGs, all vanilla.

Hello jfrentheway,
You will need to open a support case so that we can resolve this issue for you.

I was afraid of that. I have to wait for the guy with the support access to get back from vacation.
Thanks though!

Heya,
I'd recommend checking out the VxRail Network Planning Guide. It's pretty in-depth when it comes to network requirements and you may find it pretty helpful for this question.
