Hello I have issue adding new/RMA switch to VFC.
Our setup is 2 QFX5110-32Q as spine and various QFX5100-48T/S-6Q as leafs. One of leafs was RMA and also need to add additional QFX5100-48T-6Q as leafs.
All Juniper documentation list it as simple task, but for unknown reason it just don't work for me. Folowing this document I have set SN for new device (Copy&paste from console connection show chassis hardware so no typo and all upper case as should be).
They say, you need to install qfx-5e image on 5100 to join VFC so I have downloaded file install-media-host-usb-qfx-5e-flex-x86-64-18.1R1.9.img and installed from USB.
Versions should be now identical:
VCF reported version: --- JUNOS 18.1R1.9 Kernel 64-bit FLEX JNPR-11.0-20180308.0604c57_buil
Version on new installed 5100: --- JUNOS 18.1R1.9 Kernel 64-bit FLEX JNPR-11.0-20180308.0604c57_buil
After instalation only set virtual chassis mode to fabric on QFX5100 and reboot. (MAC and SN anonimized)

Now connecting master spine device (et-0/0/2) with added leaf (second to last QSFP - 0/0/52). Link goes up, strange is interface LED don't work on leaf 5100.
user@existingVCF> show interfaces terse |match 0/0/2 et-0/0/2 up up et-0/0/2.16386 up up
=============================
root> show interfaces terse | match 0/52
et-0/0/52 up up
et-0/0/52.16386 up up
On leaf device I didn't even entered configuration mode, so no setting preventing it to join cluser shouldn't be there.
Spine QFX5110 have each installed VFC licence.
I also tried different interface on spine box (0/0/2 was previously used to connect RMA box, used "requst virtual chassis vc-port delete ..." to convert it back as per following article) without any luck.
My configuration on VCF (anonimized):
user@existingVCF> show configuration virtual-chassis

}According to this KB, there should be "e" added in model listed, but I don't see it for any of devices (even 5110)
Same happens with another QFX5100 I have tried (member 10 in code above) and I need to add another switches soon.
If anyone noticed what I have missed I would be very grateful.
