8 — Network management
A VSC can act in the primary or secondary role in a redundancy setup, and can be
associated to more than one virtual switch session group. If you are managing more
than one data center with the 5620 SAM, you should ensure that the primary and
secondary VSC are in the same data center.

Workflow for VSC redundancy setup

This workflow explains the high-level steps required to configure VSC redundancy.
1 Discover the 7701 CPAA to be associated with the redundancy setup.
2 Create an IGP and BGP administrative domain. See the 5650 CPAM User Guide for
more information on administrative domains.
3 Associate the 7701 CPAA with the administrative domains.
4 Discover all other NEs to be associated with the redundancy setup.
5 Add the discovered standalone VSCs to a data center POD. You may have already
completed this step if you associated a DC POD with the discovery rule used in
step 1.
The 5620 SAM automatically creates the virtual switch session group when it
discovers the two VSCs targeting the same V-Switch instance.
