How the Management application handles a cluster
mode change
In Network OS release 4.0, an administrator can change the mode of a cluster from fabric cluster
mode to logical chassis cluster mode, and vice versa. For instructions, refer to the Network OS
Administrator’s Guide and the Network OS Command Reference.
NOTE
All cluster-specific configurations are lost during a cluster-mode change.
On refresh collection, the Management application detects the mode change and retains all
database entries related to the cluster.
