• 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.

• Cisco UCS-C210 M1 accredited for Unified Communications server

  Hello:

  Our VAR tells us that HP and Cisco are splitting up.  We are an HP store today and 7800-H series MCS routers were a perfect fit.  Our VAR tells us now that he must go with the renamed IBM systems.  BUT I would avoid the IBM servers.  And attractive servers Cisco.  But I have been unable to determine if the Cisco UCS-C210 M1 server is certified for various applications of Unified Communications (Manager of Communications, unity, Cisco Emergency Responder, ICM, CVP, etc.).

  Has anyone heard of Communications deployments unified on the hardware of the UCS?

  Thank you

  Ken

  UCS blades are being qualified for management of the applications of the CPU now. The qualification of rack mount server is expected, specifically the C210 later this summar I think.

• New UCS-C210 problem with video monitor output

  Hi all

  We just bought a new Cisco UCS C210 M2 product for our CUCM migration to Virtual Machines. We plugged a HP monitor and a USB keyboard to start work with the UCS. Then we plugged the server to the power supply and turn on the server, the fan worked properly for his initial shot. However, I could not see the monitor up and I can't see if it boots correctly. We waited and notice that the keyboard seems to work as you can see the num and lock the scroll works.

  I unplugged the monitor of the connection of the console before the use of the foxconn connector that came with it and plugged into the DB15 port on the back. Same result the monitor does not display anything.

  So I went on the second UCS server using the same keyboard and mouse, everything works.

  Any who know this problem of the screen does not? If so, please share how to fix it.

  Otherwise, our conclusion would be that Cisco sent us a faulty hardware or it has become defective during the transport.

  Thank you best regards &,.

  Ramon

  OK fans turn upwards and then downwards with the lights on the front would indicate to me that the server itself is ok and boot up normally. The fact that you have used this monitor UCS one another in the same way seems to indicate that the problem is probably with this server and a video on the issue. I suggest to open a TAC case and include these steps you have taken. If you can, try reinstalling all your memory and boot up the server again.

  I hope this helps.

• Replacement of CMOS on UCS-C210 R2

  Hi all

  Just a quick question. I replace a failing on my Cisco UCS C210 Server CMOS battery. My main question is there will be loss of specific configuration settings in addition to the typical parameters of the Bios?

  Marcus,

  N ° avoid any other configuration affected by measures.

• UCS-C210 Firmware

  When I try to update the firmware via TFTP I get an error message Image_CRC_Failure on the web and CLI.  I tried to re - upload the image and I tried several versions of the image.  I also tried the upgrade via the web and I get to 5%, and the system hangs.  When I try to log in I get this error message: "this browser has already a MMIC session. Only one session is allowed by the browser. You must log on to the other session, connect with a new session. "I click on the link"Logout of the other session", but I can not always log in.  I have to completely power off the server for the Web to become available.  When I say "shut down", I want to say that I physically remove the cable from the back and wait 10 seconds.

  Could someone tell me please the right way with these 2 questions?  It is the first time that I had the chance to work with the UCS-C210 and I'm about to say that I'm not impressed because this isn't the first question that I met.  I like Cisco and I won't get that far right now.

  Any help is appreciated,

  Terry

  Hello Terry,

  These types of problems are usuing the fault of a Windows TFTP server cause CRC errors.   Have you tried downloading interface Web of another client by chance?

  Have you tried the HUU (Host Update Utility)?  It's an ISO you just go up and it will update all FW components as you like.

  You can get it here:

  http://www.Cisco.com/Cisco/software/release.html?mdfid=283862069&flowid=25882&softwareid=283850974&release=1.4%281C%29&relind=available&rellifecycle=&RelType=latest

  * Note the name of the file will be called something like "ucs -c200- huu - x.x.x.iso", but that's fine.  The C200 and C210 are the same basic architecture, and this package is compatible with both.

  As for your other questions, you can configure the MMIC to allow multiple connections: it's under Admin settings or Communication, I think.  By resetting the MMIC (not disturbing for the host operating system), you can clear all 'stuck' sessions.

  Let me know how you go and we'll get you squared away, I promise you.

  Kind regards

• UCS-C210 M2 RAID 10 (1 + 0)

  Hello everyone

  I doubt that the raid 10 (1 + 0) that several sources indicated that they need 4 hard drives, however I have read elsewhere that are required to at least 2 disks.

  I could indicate if UCS C210 M2 Server is that you can configure RAID 10 with two 300 GB hard drives each.

  Thanks for responding.

• UCS-C210 m2 low IOPS / s

  I currently have a case for it with cisco, but I thought that I post to the community to seek one advises...

  I have 2 ucs c210 servers,

  The two are almost identical.

  Ucs1 - has 24 sons of CPU power and 32 GB of ram,

  Ucs2 - has 16 sons of CPU and 48 gb of ram.

  Other then that they both have the same server - win2k8 r2 running hyperv bones

  Same raid configuration and even hard disks.

  UCS 1 becomes significantly more high IOPS / s

  This becomes increasingly more clear when a comment server benchmarking.

  Joined landmarks of comments on each server (migration)

  I swapped the raid under wty with Cisco card, but the performance was not improved.

  Then.

  Other thoughts about the large performance difference?

  Would it be a windows affecting one somewhere I missed?

  Or is a card or mother or other hardware failure?

  Hi Robert,.

  Thanks for the update

  Performance decreases in Windows Server 2008 R2 when the Hyper-V role is installed on a computer that uses Intel Westmere and Sandy Bridge processors

• 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...

• 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

• Reserved Vlan ID in Cisco UCS

  I understand that to be true with Cisco UCS platform:

  "you cannot create a VLAN with ID from 3968 to 4047. This VLAN ID range is reserved. »

  Yes, unfortunately

• 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

• Cisco ucs with VMware 5 auto deploy

  Hello

  In our lab, I test with 5 VMware and Cisco UCS. We run UCSM 2.0 (1 m). I am now to test the auto hand deploy. I have auto configuration to deploy in VMware and it works (first of all, I had some problems with DHCP on windows which is solved in version 2.0 of UCSM (q)). vSphere gets deployed to the blade. When the blade (vShpere) wants to connect to vCenter I get an error of vCenter has enough licesing for this action. I loaded a lot of low-income VMware. When I create a virtual machine, it starts perfectly and apears in vCenter.

  I search on the internet for people who have the problem of the simailer, but could not find.

  Some body the same problem our help me?

  Thanks in advance,

  Robin

  Robin,

  This looks more like a VC related question (UCS) platform.  UCS has no effect on the functionality of licenses of the VC.

  If the host does not connect to the CR, how are you VMs to "start perfectly and appear in vCenter?

  Kind regards

  Hello Amit,

  The UCS SW/HW interoperability tool should answer your questions.  5.1 ESXi is supported of the UCS 2.0 (4) and later versions.  Install the OS, and then update the drivers enic & fnic from the ISO driver available on cisco.com

• CISCO UCS C200 M2 amber display clear on mem and warning

  Hello

  My company bought 5 units of CISCO UCS C200 M2. The servers are equipped with 2 x 6 core 2.67 GHz. The server was also equipped with 32 GB of ram. One of the shows Server alert light yellow on mem and warning on the front panel. Can someone tell what could possibly cause this problem?

  Thank you

  Logan

  Hi Steve,.

  There could be a faulty MEMORY Strip on the system, in the MMIC, you can check the logs SALT (System event log) that will provide you with more details.

  I give advice you open a TAC case for this, we can take a look at the tech show and understand why accurate and if necessary replace the defective DIMM module / part (if defective).

  Thank you!
