• 2.0(1t) UCSM dislikes Java 1.7

  Guys,

  I have no chance whatsoever with UCSM 2.0(1t) departure on a Windows 2003 R2 (32-bit) machine: it says "Java detected 1.7, Java 1.6 (or MORE) required.

  The notes say: "the Cisco UCS Manager GUI is a Java application that requires Sun JRE 1.6 or higher.

  So what's the bottom line - will I expect UCSM 2.0 to work with Java 1.7, or not?

  Kind regards

  Radek

  Javea 1.7 is supported on version 2.0 (3) and newer.  2.0 (3) is currently available for download from EAC.

• How to check on UCSM NTP synchronization?

  Hi all

  Just my feet wet with UCS and have our first basically installation system.

  However, I have defined 2 NTP servers in UCSM but it doesn't seem to work.   I have hunted for an equivalent display status ntp IOS, but so far, have not found a.

  Is there a way to check the status of time synchronization? Or would be seized errors in a newspaper anywhere?

  Thank you

  YEW running that controls several aircraft viz NXOS and UCSM local administration.

  UCSM is the only way to configure the system while others are read-only.

  You can check the status of the plan NXOS ntp.

  To do this, ssh for the VIP.

  connect nxos

  At this point, you are connected to the NXOS plan and view orders / debugs are applicable.

  'See the ntp?' and you will see the options as the State and peers.

  Thank you

• UCSM showing the reason: NHS source pinning failed.

  Hello

  I have UCSM 2.2.3g and B200M4 with UCS FI 6248.

  I'm getting NHS source pinning is not...

  How can I solve this problem...

  Please see attached screenshot for details...

  Unless you configure VLAN disjoint, all the VLANS defined on UCS FI are included automatically in the trunks ethernet to the North; nothing special to do.

• List UCSM offshore all Webinterface .jar files / McAfee blocked ccore.jar

  Hi guys,.

  I'm looking for a list of all the .jar files UCSM loads at startup, basically the folder/ucsm/unpacked.

  We are using MCafee Enterprise 8.8 AV and it seems to block access to the ccore.jar file.

  I'm trying to get a rule file for exclusion from our IT for management servers, and I was wondering if someone could give me a list of these files.

  If you know of a fix for the issue that has no exception rules you are welcome to help me

  Kind regards

  Constantin

  If you open the file ucsm.jnlp (the file that will be downloaded on your machine when you try to launch UCSM GUI) in a text editor, then you will see entries like:

  and this will give you the complete list of jar files downloaded from the switch on your machine for the launch of GUI de UCSM.

  for example

  http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se' java-vm-args = "" - Dsun.java2d.d3d = false - XX: + HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError - XX: MaxPermSize = 256 m "initial heap size ="128 M"max-heap-size ="768 M"/ >"

• UCSM integration with the series C - non-nexus 2 k for the management?

  Is it possible to integrate the grid of series C rises (particularly C250 M2) with UCSM without using the 2248 management in accordance with this article for the C200 http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/hw/C200M1/install/ucsm-integration.html

  I guess we would be able to plug ports LOM on the C250 on a different switch IE of 3750 which would be connected by uplink to the FI 61xx. The ANC on the C250 map would be connected directly to the FI 61xx. Would this work?

  The integration guide refers only to the Nexus 2248 FEX which we do not have and I can find no confirmation elsewhere.

  Thanks in advance

  Tim

  Of course, the Nexus 2 k is similar to the IOM module (2104) in 5108 chassis.

  To keep the same logic of control plan the Nexus 2 k provides similar functionality.

  All under the Nexus 2 k will have a chassis 'rack mount '. The nexus 2 k is not a switch by saying but a 'slave' off the parent device "switch / stop host mode" (6100). A normal switch / normal typical would not work in this case.

• UCSM / VMware vCenter Server dependencies for vDS

  I'm still trying to wrap my head around the differences between the vDS created via UCSM / VMware vCenter integration and the traditional N1K.

  If correctly, the vDS UCSM (1.4) does not require the VSM device which is necessary with the N1K.  And if that is correct, is there any dependency on vCenter?  If vCenter falls down the vDS will continue to operate normally as made them act as the VSM?

  Pete,

  There is a dependency on vCenter, similar to N1kv (software) and UCSM vDS (hardware), applies to both methods of implementation. However, if vCenter goes down the current state of the operation continues. When a change occurs on the virtual machine, that is where should be upward a vCenter race.

  Concerning best practices, I was that it is better to have everything on the vDS for operational reasons. You can then apply and manage the kernal ports in the same case that VM vNIC. QoS, etc... There is a nice documentation on www.cisco.com/go/designzone data Center on this topic.

• Only access via UCSM KVM

  I am able to restrict users to the KVM console only in UCSM?

  What are the roles I have to assign to the user to ensure that all they can do is access the KVM Console?

  It is not a huge problem if they get the UCSM itself read-only rights.

  Create a role called "KVM-Only" or similar and affect only the privilege of "service-profile-server-oper.  Then, create a user as "KVM User" and him given that the role of KVM only.  They will be able to launch the full UCSM or KVM Launcher, but only have privileges access KVM.

  Alternative if you want to only grant access KVM while preventing access by connection/UCSM.     Configure an IPMI profile with ipmi-user named something like 'helpdesk' for example. Creating 'helpdesk' offer the privilege of ipmi admin. assign this IPMI-profile to the profile of your server service.      Then use the following link on your browser

  http:///ucsm/kvm.jnlp

  or

  http:///ucsm/kvm.jnlp?kvmIpAddr=w.x.y.z (where w.x.y.z is the Management IP
  
  of the blade or Service profile you wish to provide access to)

  It will open a KVM connection screen. Enter the username 'helpdesk' and assigned password and the MMIC-server you have configured IP address.  Address IP of MMIC lie on the Hardware tab, by selecting the blade, then the right selection inventory - MMIC.  The MMIC IP is listed under the section "Management Interface."             This will open the KVM from that server. Also, the ipmi vinay-kvm user only WILL NOT be able to connect to regular UCSM GUI Note that in version 1.3 - MMIC IP is static and will remain with the hardware of server/slot.  In the latest version 1.4, you can join the IP of CIMC/IPMI address your service profile so that it will follow him around everywhere where the profile is associated with.

• UCSM VM - FEX create when port-profile name cannot be used. (dot)

  UCSM q with 6120XP 2.01

  I can create using port-profile. (dot) for example "VLAN30 - 192.168.1", but it causes a warning message (pictured below)

  so I try to change the name of VLAN30-192-168-1 it can work very well

  My question is can I use. (point) in my profile of the port name?

  PS. I checked the manual of cisco

  This name can be between 1 and 31 ASCII alphanumeric. You can not

  Use spaces or other special characters as - (dash) _

  (underscore character). (period), and: (colon), and you cannot change this name

  Once the object has been saved.

  Thank you

  We have logged a bug for this CSCtw50228 - thanks to Yasmin!

  Our developers have confirmed that while other objects have name validation, virtual computer Port profiles are not, who raises the error you see because NXOS cannot process ".» (periods).  The names of service profiles are another matter that NXOS has no knowledge of these objects.

  The solution is to avoid using periods in the VM profile names.  Use a dashboard.

• Masking vs. zoning for UCS and NetApp storage LUNS

  I know it's more a matter of Cisco MDS/storage, but nobody knows masking the LUNS and zoning, which one would be the most preferred method? I have two switches Cisco fabric 9148, two controllers SAN Netapp FAS3210 1 UCS chassis with 4 blades B200 M2. I said that I should not connect the Cisco UCS fabric interconnect directly at the back of the NetApp SAN and configure with LUN masking, but I rather configure a fabric zoning on switches Cisco 9148 MDS. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem but we have an offsite location where we have not all DMS switches to, and I would like to connect them directly to the San.

  I was told that this could lead to corruption if misconfigured dsik and point of view of Cisco is to use a zoning by some type of switch Cisco Fabric. Of course, I have of course this Cisco advises anyone to manage this type of configuration through their facilities instead of on the SAN. Does anyone have an opinion on the matter?

  Zoning and masking are two completely different characteristics.

  Zoning occurs on your storage switches and is the equivalent of an ACL (Access Control List).  It limits who may be considering other targets and/or initiators.  (Who I see?)

  Occurs on your storage array and masking limits what initiator LUN has access to.  (What do I see?)

  * UCS is not supported to directly connect a storage array in the interconnection of fabric, at least to have a storage upstream switch (MDS or equivalent) to push the zoning.  The use of zoning prevents a faulty initiator potentially impacting on the operation of the others by limiting what they can see in the fabric.

  If you happen to have a Nexus 5 K by chance, they can also work as your storage switch.  The N5K is able to perform almost all of the same services as MDS fabric and is fully supported.

  Kind regards

• How to clear faults on UCSM 1.4(3q)

  Hello

  I run a 1.4(3q) platform and I would erase all faults displayed on the UCSM.

  How can I do?

  I would like to remove the flaws because in some cases it very old flaws.

  All faults are Acknoledged but I can't delete it.

  Thank you

  Can you make a screenshot of the fault or the details of the flaws of the CLI and fix here.

  as well as a screenshot of the backup jobs.

  One quick thing, you can try, if its for a job back that is still present in the UCSM: try to delete the job and that should fix the problem. You can then recreate the work once the problem is resolved.

• Improved zoning (MDS-6248)

  Hello

  I read the forums and advice, and I want to configure Enhanced zoning on my canvases.
  Can someone confirm that Cisco 6248 s can work in enhanced mode of zoning?
  Whenever I set it up, it fails to activate on the VSAN - even if the MDS status is activated and distributed.
  So when I trying to box through the device alias, that it throws an error that comes up to say that enhanced zoned devices cannot operate in basic mode.
  Seeing that the SDM is certainly Enahnced mode it takes the 6248 but I find no material command or the reference on how to activate it on the 6248.

  Does anyone have this working?

  I know that the 6248 s do not support zonign without switch upstream so I wonder if that is the question.

  Steve.

  You will not be able to use zoning improved on MDS switches, providing the zoning to the 6248 s. Improved zoning is more useful in a multiswitch fabric or tissue where there are several SAN admins that could be potentially make zoning changes at the same time. When the first admin initiates a change of area, the fabric is locked and no one else can make a change until the admin hired their change.

  In the case of a 6248 you can't configure it which means you can't use it on the MDS, connected to the 6248.

• FCoE directly connect to VNX5300 with no switch zoning

  I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this unit or a similar facility. I find no decent documentation to help us decide if it is a legitimate set upward for a production of about 16 servers 3 chassis environment. Our expert Cisco has ever put up a UCS environment with a direct connection to the San via FCoE and intuitively is against it, as we do not expect to use a switch to zoning.  Is there a real risk in the present? It will support in the future?

  Hi Henry,.

  If you look at the following document:

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/switches/Datacenter/MDS9000/interoperability/matrix/Matrix8.html

  See point number 3, the direct model to support tethering still requires a SDM or N5k upstream to provide this information.
