• UCS C200 RAID solution

  Hello

  I hope for your help about the technical question about the RAID.

  We bought a server in a rack of Cisco UCS C200. Now I looking for information on the best RAID solution in our case.

  The question:

  As I understand it, there is an integrated RAID solution: Intel ICH10R in UCS C200 server. We use this RAID configuration now and it works OK. However, we wonder if it is worth installing the PCIe controller (we have HP Smart Array P410 (ATA/dis2) card). We use currently 4 SATA and RAID drives works as expected, but we are interested in, if there are all the advantages of the separate RAID controller card. Above all, we are interested of performance benefits as we plan to have a lot of disk writes (records call - about 10-20 calls per hour, lasting 2 minutes on average). We would be happy to stay with RAID integrated if it works stable. On the other hand, we will install the above mentioned Intel RAID card if you say that it would be the best solution about the reliability and wear of the disc.

  I would be grateful for any comments.

  Kind regards

  Vytas,

  Your question is probably down to RAID levels supported for each card.  The performance of each should be relavitley the same, so I would not concentrate on that.

  The only supported RAID controllers are listed here and must be purchased from Cisco:

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/unified_computing/UCS/c/HW/C200M1/install/RAID.html#wp1015625

  "Others' work, but you'd be yourself if you encountered problems with TAC.

  The integrated Intel ICH10R card supports up to four SATA using RAID0 (striped) or RAID1 (mirror) drives.

  If you need one RAID5, 10 or more, then you must a MegaRAID controller to do.

  All RAID controllers provided by Cisco are heavily on trial and could be your best option for reliability and performance.

  Kind regards

• UCS C200 and NIC Teaming/FailOver

  As UCS C200 with management of a 10/100 and 10/100/two interface 1000 interfaces and PCIe with 4NIC

  I want to install CUCM 8.5 is the NIC Teaming/failover supported by UCS C200 and how to set up the NIC Managment interface with failover?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  As you install apps from the CPU on the server of the UCS, speech application team listed their recommendations here.

  http://docwiki.Cisco.com/wiki/QoS_Design_Considerations_for_Virtual_UC_with_UCS#Guidelines_for_Physical_LAN_Links.2C_Trunking_and_Traffic_Sizing

  You can create a NIC teaming in the ESXi via vSphere client software for traffic from from / destined for virtual machines.

  For C200, we have only one management port and if you use the management for MMIC traffic port, switch option is not available.

  However, if you choose to use host for MMIC traffic NETWORK ports, you can set up CIMC NIC mode for 'LOM shared' which provides the NIC teaming options.

• UCS C200 M2 could not start

  Hi all

  My Cisco UCS C200 could not start. Once checked, I found that the problem is the raid controller, the card may not work properly.

  the type of raid used controller is LSI MegaRAID 9260-4i

  can I replace this controller card with different types such as LSI MegaRAID 9260-8i

  If can, what should I do? are there concerns?

  Thank you for your kindness

  That should be fine.  See the documentation of the TA on the exact process of swapping the controller, but since they are of the same generation, just different port internal account (4 vs 8) and all RAID information is stored on the discs themselves, you should have no problem exchange controllers and imports of table on the new controller.  Once swap you controllers, host of startup, enter the optional ROM of LSI and check if the table is waiting for import (if she is not the automatic import).

  Kind regards

• 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...

• UCS C200 Server Power Supply Question

  We make some changes in our data center and which involves electric grid.  We had to replace our Dustribution of power rack and to respond to the charge, we moved 208V, 3 phase power distribution.  Read the literature, I see that the power supply to the UCS C200 servers can operate 115V to 230V AC.

  My questions are: is it everything I have on power supply from 120V AC 208 v power supply power supply power supply?  Can I have a power running at 120 v and the other operating at 208V?  I try to avoid the closure of the server.

• MMIC UCS C200 M2 blade - cannot access

  Hi all

  I was hoping someone in this forum could help with a problem I have on a customer site. We have therefore two blades UCS C200 M2 we cannot access MMIC of. When I try to reach the IP address, the browser just sits there, but the IP address is an echo request ICMP who responded. I rebooted a systems press F2 and tried to launch the utility BIOS Setup MMIC but received a message "no attention not found" and the only option was to hit very well.

  What would cause this? And should I update the firmware? If I need to update the firmware how can I go about this...?

  In addition, these systems are running ESXi 4.1, but I believe that the version of VMware is not compatible. Could someone help me confirm this?

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  -Bobby

  Hello

  It worked before?

  If this is not the case, try resetting the MMIC or it could be a browser/java problem too. The problem exists across the browser and several pc user.

  See doc below to configure the Mmic

• Replacing hard drive RAID 10 (UCS-C200-M2)

  Guys,

  I'm running RAID10 on UCS C200 M2 and exchanged one of the defective drive.

  Currently, there is beep for more than 12 hours and I guess that the new drive is under reconstruction at the moment.

  In addition, physical drive status is currently on "not well configured" on CIMC. The status changes to "online" after

  the reconstruction end? Will be required reboot when the rebuild is complete?

  Please advice.

  Hello

  If the State of the reader to not configured well. You will need access to the Webbios to change online status and allow reconstruction to be undertaken.

  You will find here all the information required to set the drive to the State once again

• 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.

• 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
