During IRF configuration on HP 6125XLG switches(firmware CMW710-R2422P01), I have faced a lot of problems like:
-
System errors - sorry don't have output of the error message. I hope I can give them in the nearest future.
-
After configuring the devices the slave switch rebooted but not in Virtual Chassis membership
The first issue was caused by SFP+ modules, yea it can be tricky when you don't use internal interconnect ports. Unplugging all SFP+ resolved the problem, but after restart applying the configuration switch rebooted in standalone mode. The resolve the last problem the ports on the Master switch has to be disabled, and enabled after all configs are applied and save on slave.

Master switch configuration
mkdir configs
interface range Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/17 to Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/20
shutdown
quit
sysname <CLUSTER_NAME>
irf member 1 priority 32
irf-port 1/1
port group interface Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/17
port group interface Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/18
port group interface Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/19
port group interface Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/20
quit
irf-port-configuration active
save

Slave switch configuration
mkdir configs
system-view
irf member 1 renumber 2
quit
save
reboot
After reboot:
system-view
irf member 2 priority 16
interface range Ten-GigabitEthernet 2/0/17 to Ten-GigabitEthernet2/0/20
shutdown
quit
sysname <CLUSTER_NAME>
irf-port 2/2
port group interface Ten-GigabitEthernet2/0/17
port group interface Ten-GigabitEthernet2/0/18
port group interface Ten-GigabitEthernet2/0/19
port group interface Ten-GigabitEthernet2/0/20
quit
irf-port-configuration active
interface range Ten-GigabitEthernet 2/0/17 to Ten-GigabitEthernet2/0/20
undo shutdown
quit
save

Go back to SWITCH-1 (master) and enable the ports
system-view
interface range Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/17 to Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/20
undo shutdown
quit
save
Right after you enable the ports of the Master device, slave will be rebooted and merge into Virtual Chassis.
