• 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.

• Cisco UCS Manager does not discover C240 Server

  Hello, Cisco community!

  Currenlty UCS manager shows two interconnections of fabric and two extensions of fabric, but for some reason, my server isn't appear

  Birds seen are:

  I have my C240 connected with two 10GbE twinax cables, each going to a fabric Extender. (Total FEX 2)

  I have two 10GbE twinax cables connected each interconnections FEX fiber modulus in each tissue. (Total of 2 FI)

• MMIC access after integration of series C with UCS Manager

  My question is on the following terms:

  This guide contains information and procedures for installing Cisco UCS C200, C210 and C250 servers for integration with Cisco UCS Manager version 1.4 or 2.0.1.

  Cisco UCS C-Series-Rack mounting servers are managed by the autonomous integrated software, Cisco (CIMC) integrated management controller. When a series C Rack-Mount Serveris integrated with Cisco UCS Manager, the MMIC manages nor the server. Instead, it is run with the Cisco UCS Manager software. You'll control the server using the Cisco UCS Manager or Cisco UCS Manager CLI user interface.

  This means that you literally can't website to the graphical interface of MMIC?  Or means that, although you can still access the MMIC, the management of the C series is recommended to run through the UCS Manager?

  They are mutually exclusive?

  Thank you

  Amir

  That's right, all the features are moved to Service UCSM profiles and can't do anything of CIMC.

  CIMC will report "managed by UCSM" or something like that.

• Cisco UCS components and software bug

  I was reading on the Cisco products affected by the vulnerability of software to the following Cisco Security Council

  http://Tools.Cisco.com/Security/Center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/CIS...

  I couldn't find if below products/components are affected by this problem... can someone confirm if these products/components are vulnerable to the software?

  Cisco UCS Manager

  Integrated management of Cisco (CIMC) controller

  Cisco UCS blade chassis

  TIA

  I agree that sentence is a bit off, note that the view talking affected _products_ (or not), not specific _components_ of a product.

  UCS seems to be off the hook. Not affected are:

  • Cisco UCS series B (blade) servers
  • Cisco UCS C-Series (Stand alone Rack) servers
  • Cisco UCS Central
  • Cisco UCS fabric of interconnections
  • Systems Cisco UCS Invicta series Solid State

  MMIC and UCSM would be part of the FI or B-or-C-series, etc.

• 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 Dieck

  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.

  Inform the product manager for the platform you are using and what you want to be monitored and displayed...

• Integrating Active Directory and UCS Manager

  I'm looking to create an LDAP authentication provider in the UCS Manager that will authenticate users in Active Directory. I see the configuration guide UCS that a schema change is required to add a new attribute for user accounts and the guide details what the new attribute should be. However there are no detailed instructions on how to make the change to AD. I imagine some sort of import LDIFDE is required, but does anyone have more detailed steps on how to do it?

  Thank you

  You can ssh in your UCS, go to the NxOS prompt and test authentication as follows:

  Laurel - A (nxos) # test cpaggen aaa cisco group ldap
  the user has been authenticated
  Laurel - A (nxos) # test aaa group ldap cpaggen cisco1
  user authentication failed
  Laurel - A (nxos) # test aaa group ldap foo doesntexist
  user authentication failed
  Laurel-a. (nxos) #

  Make sure that this part of work. The role assignment comes from CiscoAVPair and the value must be a shell: roles = 'admin' If you want the user to be an administrator. CiscoAVPair must be an attribute of the user object. I've attached a screenshot of Wireshark for a successful authentication and authorization.

  You will also find the definition of the user and configuration of my UCS.

• UCS Manager &amp; Vmware

  Hi guys,.

  Before we set our Cisco UCS solution in we have Vmware running with Nexus 1000v switch. After the installation of the Cisco UCS solution, we migrated a lot off the coast of the old system to the new. By reading the manual on setting up vCenter, Port and VMS profiles in UCS Manager, it seems that this creates a new on the nexus 1000v vsm. Anyway is to import what we have so that we see in the UCS Manager?

  David, the functionality of the UCS you speak is known as VN-Link in the material while the Nexus 1000v is known as VN-link in the software. Installation and configuration is very similar to the Nexus 1000v but they are separated distributed virtual switches.

  Unfortunately, you can't use both because they require the VEM loaded on ESX hosts and the UCS VN-link requires a login policy dynamic UCS vNIC. If you use the 1000v, you will not be able to use the VM tab in UCSM and you will not see anything on the virtual computers tab on a Service profile.

  In my opinion the Nexus 1000v is preferable because is offer more features, more scalable and is managed/set NX - OS. Of the UCS VN-link option also limits the number of virtual machines, you can run on a host computer, because the dynamic vNIC takes in charge a maximum of 56 depending on how rising your chassis to your FIs. If you have only 2 uplinks of your chassis then the max machines virtual host when using the UCS VN-Link is 20-24, according to the number of vNIC ESX host, you create as part of your Service profile.

• How can Cisco ucs c220 m4 I start with 12g cisco sas controller? 2012 UEFI Server installation issues

  first time with cisco ucs c220 m4, check my photos

  You have a VD 11TB.

  Only way to start on this is by using UEFI.

  You need to activate UEFI in the boot order.

  Anything over 2 TB and more 4 K sector size readers require the UEFI boot option.

  BIOS will not process the VDs when manages UEFI.

  Kirk...

  Summary for those who seek a similar question:

  • Client a large VD created, 11TB
  • 2 TB and more, 4K sector drives, require boot UEFI + GPT, cannot use the legacy/MBR
  • To set startup to local HD option, that referenced the PCI-E Slot, the raid controller was in (HBA slot in this case)
  • UEFI mode, can't score a VD as "bootable disk / startup.
  • You will see not the VD/raid controller appear in the 'real' boot order during the OS install.
  • Once the installation of the OS compatible UEFI is made, it will create a UEFI boot to the operating system "Windows Boot Manager" entry in our case.
  • After the next reboot, if you check your boot order, you should see this UEFI OS boot manager entry.

• installation document ucs Manager

  someone can tell us where ucs manager is executed or can antbody can tell us where we can find a facility for ucs document manager with c-series single pedestal.

  Thanks in advance

  Erick,

  I think you are talking about two different things.  UCS Manager is for blades of series B and C-Series, which are built/managed by UCSM.  Stand-alone C-series is no manager of UCS.  Each C-Series is managed independently by the MMIC (Cisco integrated management controller).

  Kind regards

• The UCS Manager LDAP question

  Hi guys,.

  I was wondering if anyone could help with a weird problem that we seem to have met with our UCS Manager.  We set it up to use LDAP authentication for log on which works very well for four of the five members of the team, but we have a user that although it is in exactly the same groups as the rest of us continually gets unautheticated errors to the user.

  We did the habit of checking that it is not his machine or installation and in the newspapers that it even does not save an attempt to log on default so not sure what I can check any thoughts would be much appreciated!

  We use UCSM v2.1 (1e) in case it's relevant?

  Thank you very much

  John

  I ran into the same issue.  Has proved to be a bug in the firmware DN was too long.

  CSCth96721

  It is more a limitation of 128 characters for the number of units of organization or the length of the distinguished name (DN) when you use LDAP to Active Directory authentication.

• Virtualization Cisco UCS in some software

  Hello community,

  I want to ask you a few tips. My question is: If there is some software that virtualizes Cisco UCS? Freeware is the best option. Reason why I ask is because I need to create the test environment for the follow-up. IBM followed agent KV6 for Cisco UCS, which connects via HTTP to UCS Manager.

  Thank you Jan

  Take a look at the UCS platform emulator. https://communities.Cisco.com/docs/doc-66688

  In my view, that it will respond to SNMP requests and api as the normal version.

  Thank you

• Looking for a UCS Manager 'lite' or stand-alone

  We have a dozen UCS C-series servers spread over 5 different sites.  Is there a free utility or inexpensive to manage all servers in our series C from a single point?  UCS Manager is great, but its exaggerated and way too expensive.  I think of something as a UCS Manager-Lite or even a third party utility that I can install it on my workstation.

  Hi Tod

  Is Cisco Cisco Integrated Management Controller (IMC) supervisor-1.

  It's a solution under license; don't know if it fits your needs 'too cheap' ;-)

• UCS Manager 2.2 - LDAP authentication

  Hello

  I have some general questions about authentication LDAP and UCS Manager.

  I hope it's unterstandable...

  We have the following structure:

  • DC = Company.domain.com
    • OU = Domain Administration
      • OU =Administrators
        • UO = Germany
          • CN = User1-SMA
          • CN = SMA-user2
      • OU = Test-UO
        • CN = ucstestuser
        • CN = ucsadmingroup--> Member = SMA-user1, user2-SMA
          

  I added an LDAP provider

  binduser is the SMA-User1

  Base DN = OU = Domain Administration, DC = company, DC = domain, DC = com

  attribute = empty

  filter = sAMAccountName = $userid

  password for User1 SMA

  group permission / recursive enabled.

  I have not add some attributes or map the group. Now I can connect with ucstestuser (read-only), but not with SMA-user1 user2 SMA oder.

  If I add ucstestuser to ucsadmingroup a map of this group, ucstestuser can access and have right to admin, ADM-user1 and user2-adm cannot access (user authentication failed).

  I don't understand, why ucstestuser can access and other users in a different OU not. Unique database name is domain Administration, so that UCSM should see all three users, not?

  Can anyone help? Thank you.

  With UCS remote authentication when a user connects using a temporary account on the FI as a UCS-MyAuthDomain\myusername, which is limited to a total of 32 characters.  If you shorten the name of domain authentication defined in UCSM domain.com to a shorter name as AD, it will allow for the use of a username any longer.

  Note

  For systems using the remote authentication protocol, the authentication domain name is considered to be part of the user name and the limit of 32 characters for usernames created locally. Because Cisco UCS inserts 5-character formatting, the authentication will fail if the name and the user character domain name combined total is greater than 27.
