HPE 5940 - IRF configuration help

Hello,

Preface: Not worked a ton with HPE products in the past, just looking for some help on configuring IRF. Link between switches won't come up after IRF configuration.

We have recently got 3x HPE FF 5940 48SFP+ 6QSFP28 switches.

They are connected in a ring topology with 40G QSFP DAC. See here: https://i.imgur.com/y0blCWj.png

All switches are running the same software (HPE Comware Software, Version 7.1.070, Release 2509P02).

Factory default configuration out of the box all interfaces are LINK UP.

After configuring IRF on all three switches the link between them won't come up and IRF won't form.

Not sure if I'm missing something? I'm following this guide https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c05212296

I've tried both with the "easy-irf" command and manually configuring the switches.

Here's sample configuration from one of the switches:

Any help would be appreciated.
