• 1225 VIC Port Virtualization question on Cisco UCS C240, 460 servers without FI

  Dear all,

  I have installed & configured the hypervisor, its running fine.  But the servers are connected directly to the nexus & there is no FI here.

  But the business must virtulize the adapter VIC & use for multiple purposes such as vmotion, FT etc...

  When I create a vNIC on CIMC & map the uplink port 0 or 1, even if those who signed off on the esxi console, even if the status of uplinks in the esxi console are shows connected.

  Will be that the adapter Virtualization is supported wireless?  Please tell us the best practices, how to use the Cisco VIC 1225/1227 wireless & how to virtualize the adapter.

  It would be a great help...

  Thanks in advance.

  Kind regards

• UCS C420M3 server with VIC 1225, can't see the ethernet LOM ports

  Hi Guyz,

  We have C420M3 server with VIC 1225 connected on PCIe slot, with fabric Interconnet.

  After you have installed the OS & drivers, vNIC created the VIC 1225 by the service profile appear, but 4 gig on server LOM ports do not appear.

  Any idea. ?

  Thank you

  If you incorporate your rack server to UCSM, you will be able to use the LOM ONLY ports for traffic of Mgmt, when you join the server mode to 'Dual Wire'.

  It is useless (unless you have one for a special reason, I do not intend at this very moment) to use ports LOM, once you entered the server, precisely because of the 1225 VIC is not a regular NIC card or a regular HBA, it is indeed a CNA (Converged Network Adapter), which essentially allows you to do in a map , what you would do with two (which means "what you would do with a NETWORK card and HBA separated')

  When you have a VIC card, you actually have the ability to create up to 256 virtual interfaces (this is the capacity of the equipment, always limited by the operating system, please keep this in mind), this is the reason why, after the server is integrated, entirely rely on the interfaces in the Service profile instead of the physical interfaces.

  Find more info here:

  You have a specific reason to use the LOM ports rather than create 2 additional virtual interfaces in Server Service profile?

• Configuration VIC 1225 in C240 problems

  I'm trying to set up a server with the installed VIC 1225 C240.

  Firstly, I would like to know if it is even possible to use it without fabric interconnections or Nexus switches. Suppose that I am just their regular snap up some 10GbE switches. I can change this but wante to have a better idea of my design decisions - not much info about when the VIC 1225 may or must be used outside this context. »

  Secondly, I am following the instructions here:

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/unified_computing/UCS/c/SW/CLI/config/Guide/1.4.1/b_Cisco_UCS_C-Series_CLI_Configuration_Guide_141_chapter_01001.html#task_3C31BD7B25BF4CF6839B7B12DE014482

  I checked that the VIC is installed in slot 1 visually as well as via the output below, but the output below is not what I expected by the documentation. I am not able to enter into the scope of this adapter, and it appears in "display adapters pci" and not "adapters". It is as if she is not even recognized as a VIC.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Matt,

  The VIC 1225 is fully supported as a stand-alone card outside UCSM and by default it runs in the classic Ethernet mode which means that it is compatible with any standard IEEE 10GE switch.

  The VIC is not supported in Slot 1 in the C240, he is supported in Slot 2 or 5

  (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/hw/C240/install/replace.html#wp1337242).

  Without be installed into the cracks, the connector of NC - if at the end of the PCIe bus will not be conencted and the MMIC has no interface to configure the card.  Once you have installed it in a supported housing, you should be able to frame scope and show the adapter.  Then brought to the map as shown below

  UCS-c240-m3 # chassis range

• Cisco UCS B200 M4Compatible with 2100 FEX in UCS 5108 chassis & FI 6100?

  Hello

  The blade server Cisco UCS B200 M4 is compatible with FEX 2100 within a Cisco UCS 5108 chassis & Cisco UCS 6100 fabric of interconnection?

  The interop tool said clearly for the B200-M4:

  http://www.Cisco.com/Web/TechDoc/UCS/interoperability/matrix/matrix.html

  Note 14: The 2104XP fabric Extender is not compatible when the 1240 and 1280 or 1240 and VIC Port Expander are combined on the same blade. Applies to the M3 and M3 B200 as well as B420 B22 with 1240 and the 2 adapter connector populated

  or for the VIC 1340

  Note 38: 6100 series fabric interconnects and 2100 series fabric Extender is not supported

• Connection Cisco UCS 6120 FI directly to Cisco Catalyst 6500?

  I watch a lot of design with the Cisco UCS solution guide and everywhere it is Cisco Nexus 5000/7000 connects to the uplink ports of Cisco UCS 6120 FI with the benefits of technology to the vPC.

  How about connect Cisco UCS 6120 FI directly to 10GE ports in Cisco Catalyst 6500 (without VSS and VSS)? It is possible to design?

  If I use C6500VSS there will be port-channel of the aggregation of the UCS Nx10GE all the bandwidth?

  And what happens if I use C6500 (without VSS) - how it will be on the many links between UCS and two boxes C6500? It will be blocked by STP? A little on the other?

  Please explain to me, because we have only C6500 switches in our data center and want to test a Cisco UCS schassis.

  Yes, you can connect the 6120 s to cat6500s with or without vs. With VSS, you get a vPC as port channel where 2 links to a single 6120 can be connected to different 2 6500 s in a port LACP-channel.

  VSS is not necessary, you can connect a 10 G uplinks / 1 G of 1 or more of a 6120 at cat6500s. I you have 2 cat6500s (non - vss) and 2 uplinks by 6120, then you want to connect 1 cat6500-1 and the other to cat6500-2. I would recommend going ahead and creating a single port-channel port so that you can easily add the uplinks in the furture without interruption of service.

  Ideally, for non - vss, I would have 4 10 uplinks by 6120; 2 in a channel port cat6500-1 and 2 in a port in cat6500-2 channel

• How to move a stand-alone series C of Cisco UCS managed service profile without losing any data?

  Hello

  We currently have a stand-alone series cisco C with 2012 Windows Server installed on the local disks.  We need to go this Cisco UCS server managed with a service profile, but can not lose existing data and the method of operating system boot.

  Does anyone know how to do this?

  Thank you

  Hi Adrien,.

  To be able to accomplish this together the local drive to 'any Configuration' policy this way UCSM won't overwrite the current raid on the server configuration.

• Server Rack with two VIC 1225 C460 - vNIC UCSM investment policy

  I try to incorporate C460 have 2 cards of VIC 1225 with UCSM. The goal is to have 2 assigned to each VIC, one by FI ethernet interfaces.

  vNIC on VIC 1 - FI 1A failover to FI B

  vNIC 2 on VIC 1 - FI B to FI A failover

  vNIC on VIC 2 - FI 3A failover to FI B

  vNIC 4 on VIC 2 - FI B to FI A failover

  I created a service with 4 vNIC profile and assigned to C460. When the UCSM is configured to use the default system for the vNIC/vHBA investment strategy, all 4 to network adapters are assigned to a VIC. When you try to manually place with 2 vCon1 and 2 on vCon2, I see insufficient resources error. The CIV are recognized and UCSM Server tab shows the two of them as well as adapters.

  Could you get it someone please let me know how?

  Thank you!

  The C460 has an integrated BCM-57711 that also would be recognized by the system.  What is more likely is that the 1225 s of VIC are on vCon1 and vCon3 and the map of the BCM is on vCon2, since FF is is not supported on the Broadcom adapter it would cause the association to fail.  Try to place the manual placement with vCon1 and vCon3 and see if that clears up the issue.

• Need help on Cisco UCS Certification

  Hi all

  I need your help.

  I intend to take the certification Cisco UCS. Please help me on this I am confused that you take as it is DCUCI or guide DCUCD please if it is DCUCI how to start and if DCUCD how to start.

  Currently working on vmware support and little UCS. I am after reading docs, and communities through videos from train signal UCS.

  Can some expert guide please, how further will be a great help

  Thanks in advance

  Vincent

  Vincent,

  Since how long did you ask? I want to mention that CCNA/P DC was relesed in November, before a review as DCUCI was a full certification and it is now part of the CCNP instead.

  CCNA has 2 reviews, DCICN & DCICT

  I couldn't find a link where it is specifically stated that you must follow a specific order, for example here:

  http://www.Cisco.com/Web/learning/certifications/specialist/DC/uc_support.html you can find specialized support requirements are:

  642-999 DCUCI (one of the basic tests I mentioned) & DCUCT 642-035 (one of the troubleshooting tests I mentioned as well)

  For CCNA, there is no choice, only 2 exams available, it does not matter for CCNP, but 4 you access CCNP, different combinations will give Add tax certifications.

  However, keeping in mind the names of examinations, which can give you an idea of what you want to learn first:

  DCUCI: implementation of Unified Computing DC

  DCUFI: implementation of DC Unified Fabric

  DCUFD: Data Center Unified Fabric Solutions Design

  DCUCD: Data Center Unified Computing Systems Design

  DCUFT: Troubleshooting Cisco Unified Fabric data center

  DCUCT: Troubleshooting Cisco Unified Computing data center

  I hope this helps clarify.

• Configuring the Cisco UCS 5108 ports

  Hi all

  I'm new in the world of the Cisco UCS server and am setting up Cisco UCS 5108 blade server. The server has two Cisco UCS 6324 interconnections fabric I did the initial Setup on and I try to configure the ports for the blades. Looking through the various articles and tutorials after setting global policies, I see the whole world establishment of uplink and server ports. What I read the uplink ports are plugged directly into the switches (I work with two cisco nexus switches), and server ports are used to connect to the chassis.

  I wonder once the configured ports server what exactly are supposed to connect to? I assumed they would also connect to the switch nexus with the uplink ports. However, every time I set up the server ports and plug them in, the switch doesn't seem to have flooded and we lose all connectivity. If I unplug, the connection is restored almost immediately.

  The current configuration, that I work with is two ports uplink on each fabric interconnect (4 2 total in each switch of nexus), two server ports on each (4 2 total, in every nexus switch). The only other element connected to the nexus switches is a SAINT who will be configured as a boot and storage of the UCS 5108.

  Looks like you have a Mini UCS (6324), with 4-port 10 GB (each FI/IOM) with port QSFP 40 GB that can provide network connectivity linking rising, or if configured as a server port, could be used to connect to a server in a rack compatible Cisco UCS, or connect to a 5108 additional with IOM 2204XP chassis.  The blades installed in your initial 5108 chassis 6324 FI/IOM of housing have internal connectivity to the FIs / IOM without the need to configure ports 'server'...

  Please take a look at some of the visuals in the datasheet below.

  http://www.Cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/servers-unified-computing/UCS-6300-series-fabric-interconnects/datasheet-C78-732207.html

  Unified ports can also be configured as a FC ports for connectivity of FC switch upstream or directly related to CF Storage processors.

  After having watched the datasheet, let me know if you have any other questions, and I'll try to address them.

  You'll not need actually configure ports such as ports 'server' unless you connect servers in a rack.

  Please configure any ethernet SFP type connected to your switches nexus upstream as 'network' uplinks.  I guess that you don't plan on a disjoint config layer 2 (where each FI has several sets of uplinks will different devices upstream, or the same device with different VLANS allowed on each link).    If you are, we can have a separate thread about how you need to configure that.

  Thank you

• vFoglight with Cisco UCS

  Hello all,.
  We are looking for Cisco UCS for our ESX env. and I was wondering if someone was running vFoglight UCS and had problems.
  Or if someone of Quest/Vizioncore knows of any problem or future integration planned with UCS.

  Thank you

  Craig, I know of many clients running the Cisco USC with VMware and they are very happy. There is no known issue with vFoglight perspective. VFoglight hardware monitoring currently able to extract any platform SNMP information. If you are looking for a vFoglgith to pull information from the physical ESX servers directly (not SNMP) you will need to ask for a discussion of the roadmap with your representative local of the quest.

• C200M3, VIC 1225, Catalyst 4500 x

  Hello

  Everyone has set up a server with the installed VIC 1225 C200M3 and configured an etherchannel to a pair of Catalyst 4500 x?

  The server is freshly installed ESXi 5.1 standard vSwitch and two vNIC active/active and LB Hash IP value.

  As soon as the etherchannel is applied in the x 4500, the traffic of the host goes down.

  Have seen a few articles indicating that this will only work with the 1225 VIC if it s connected to a FEX or Nexus, is that correct?

  Concerning

  Hello Andreas,

  VIC in classical Ethernet (CE) interacts with any standards-based Ethernet switch.

  Can you please check the mac address of the interface vmkernel? Should one of the vNIC mac address?

  If so, the traffic could be running in default CSCuf65032

  As a work-around, you could recreate the vmkernel interface so that it would be the mac address which is not delong to vNIC.

• Cisco UCS C210 M2: PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

  Hello

  I'm working on Cisco UCS C210 M2 servers. I got 10 146 GB SAS HD with LSI MegaRAID Raid Controller. I did run the Raid Controller and choose RAID6. After that I installed ESXi and it said to reboot the server. Now, when I restart the server I get the following error message:

  PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

  PXE - M0F: Exit Boradcom PXE ROM

  Restart, and then select proper boot service

  or Insert Boot Media in some boot device and press a key

  Any suggestions how I can solve this problem.

  Thank you.

  You will need to go into the Bios of the controller LSI MegaRaid (Ctrl + H) and select the option of virtual drives on the left. When the virtual command window opens, you must select the drive (Raid Volume) on which you want your drive master boot and underneath there will be an option to set as your boot device. Apply and save.
