Due to my employer's network needs and the limited functionality of the Warm Spare features with Meraki switches, it looks like I need to convert my MS410 switch pair from a Warm Spare setup to a switch stack. I'm not familiar with these kinds of procedures with Meraki switches, and there seems to be no real documentation on removing Warm Spare functionality from a switch pair. Has anybody out there ever done something like this? What should I look for? Are there any caveats I should pay attention to? What should I do, buy, (stack cables?) etc in preparation for this procedure? What kind of downtime would I be looking at? Obviously I'd have to do this during a maintenance window, so how big of a window (1, 2, ? hrs) should I request from mgmt? Is this kind of conversion even advisable in a production environment?
