Cisco UCS C210M2-VCD2 network connectivity

Hello

I will install three servers of c210M2 and I am quite new to the world of the UCS. According to the design that I'm supposed to install

4 x Vm (CUCM, CUC, presence, UCCX) primary or Publisher on NGC 01

4 x Vm (CUCM, CUC, presence, UCCX) subscribed or failover on NGC 02

2 x Vm (MeetingPlace) on NGC 03

I have a few switches access X 3750 for network connectivity. My question is how to configure the NICs on UCS Server or the network. According to my knowledge each server has cards NIC 2 x 10 giga and 1 x NIC integrated management. I'm confused how many NICs each VM will have and how to set up all these VMs NIC on 2 x card physical NETWORK by UCS. Any suggestions please.

Kind regards

Asif

Asif,

Nexus 1000 would be useful here, but if not an option and that you use standard vSwitch then both NICS should serve rising in a unique vSwitch for redundancy.

Here are some suggestions of QoS that might help you too.

Rredundant of the physical LAN interfaces are recommended

One or two pairs of cluster NETWORK adapter for the CPU VM traffic. A pair just on C210 due to the low load per VM

A pair of NIC (or dedicated team) for specific traffic VMware (mgmt, vMotion, VMware HA, etc.)

SIDENOTE: Pair of grouping NIC can be divided through the motherboard and the PCIe card permitting the UCS C-series, protects against the failure of the PCIe card

Once we know exactly asked what vSwitch using as the last post, we are able to locate more, but this is based on the standard use of vSwitch

I hope this helps.

    Yes, you can exchange in the larger capacity disks.  The raid controller will simply allocate the required space to the drive (i.e. on the 300 GB 146 GB)

    It is always advisable to keep all all online as much as possible performance specifications (i.e. 6 Gb, 15 K rpm, etc.)

  • problem with cisco DPC-3010 USB network connection

    Today, I received the new Cisco DPC-3010 of Charter.

  • Parameters of the UCS C210M2 CIMC

    Hi guys,.

    I want to install the C210M2 server that has the unique management port. When I load the MMIC utility by pressing F8, there are options to select "NIC Modes" and "NIC Redundancy"

    3 Modes NIC settings

    Dedicated - use unique management port to access the MMIC

    LOM shared - use 2 Gb ethernet port built to access the MMIC

    Cisco card

    3 redundancy NIC settings

    No - The Ethernet ports operate independently and are not lacking on if there is a problem

    Active-standby - if an active Ethernet port fails, traffic switches to a spare port.

    Active-active - all Ethernet ports are used simultaneously.

    my questions:

    (T1) I select the dedicated NIC mode, since the server only has one management port, should I choose 'None' in settings NIC redundancy law?

    Q2) UCS-C210M2-VCD2 has 6 ethernet ports, I plan to use 2 ports for ESXi, 2 for CUCM and 2 ports for UConn... is this the right approach?

    Q3) my understanding is redundancy NIC settings are in what concerns access to administration MMIC and not for ESXi host?

    Thank you!

    That's right, because the C210 has a NETWORK card, dedicated and no options are, you have to choose. Another thing, will call an error.

    Q2 / Yes, this configuration for network adapters will work.

    Q3 / Yes, that's right.

  • 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

    Important caveat: RoCE means RDMA over converged Ethernet.

    If you look at the YouTube mentioned above, you will see, that SMB Server and Client on the blades of the UCS; so no interop Situation. everything happens within a domain of UCS.

    In your situation, you have a comprehensive Converged Ethernet network (Cisco and Mellanox); your customers could be on the blades, the servers attached to the Mellanox switches.

    It is essentially a question Interop; I have no idea if it has been tested or not.

  • 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

  • Call recording on the virtual machine running on Cisco UCS

    We evaluate the requirements for implementing call recording in our environment. Ideally the call recording server to run as a virtual machine on an ESXi host running like a blade on a Cisco UCS. I know that I need to set up RSPAN between my physical switches and turn the "Promiscuous" mode on my vSwitch which would be connected to the virtual machine. Where I'm stuck, how the NETWORK adapter that is connected to my vSwitch would be able to sniff this traffic? Are there requirements when I implemented the vNIC on the UCS or VMWare or under the physical being connected to the span port card desired traffic will get to my VM as a controlled traffic?

    Thank you.

    No we are not running Cisco UCM. We have a 3rd party VOIP solution. I think I got the answer I need... we need to order a series C for our UCS Server manage the recording of calls.

  • Windows Vista Business 64 bit no network connection

    I installed the 5.0.0.04 for 64-bit Cisco VPN client and it worked perfectly. I power down my machine and when I turned back the next day the network connection just stopped working. Is really weird, when I go to the network adapter I see no error or anything, nothing shows no more on the event viewer. The hardware Manager shows the network adapter works, but on the systray I see the icon of the unplugged network cable and I am unable to connect to any network, I can't get an IP address any or anything. If I go to the network adapters, I see the map connected and everything, but I can't get an IP address, it shows as not connected. I already checked with another computer and the router and the network cable work. This crazy. I have already uninstalled the Cisco VPN client, updated the NIC drivers and firmware and restarted the machine in safe mode but nothing seems to work.

    I appreciate your help

  • Install unsigned driver caused network connectivity problem

    Original title: problem with deterministic network improve miniport - unsigned driver

    We recently bought a new laptop of Lenovo Edge E540.  When we installed our software Client Cisco it installs a driver Miniport of Deterministic Network Enhancer for each of the adapters.  These drivers are not signed, and it blocks my network connection.  We have laptops Lenovo E540 since a previous order and it didn't happen.  Is there a way I can remove the miniport driver and/or to allow the drivers can be installed not signed?

    Hello

     

    If the driver is not signed it means that this driver is also not have a digital signature, or it has been signed with a digital signature that is not verified by a certification authority. Therefore, we do not recommend installing unsigned drivers as this is a security feature that makes it much more difficult for average users to install malicious hardware drivers on their systems. You must install this driver if you obtained this disc from the manufacturer of origin or from your system administrator.

    Is the computer on the domain?

     
    To uninstall the unsigned driver, you can see the steps mentioned below.
    1. press Windows + R, type devmgmt.msc, and then click ok.
    2. now look for and right-click on the driver and click on uninstall.

    3. restart the computer.

  • Nexus 1000v, UCS, and Microsoft NETWORK load balancing

    Hi all

    I have a client that implements a new Exchange 2010 environment. They have an obligation to configure load balancing for Client Access servers. The environment consists of VMware vShpere running on top of Cisco UCS blades with the Nexus 1000v dvSwitch.

    Everything I've read so far indicates that I must do the following:

    1 configure MS in Multicast mode load balancing (by selecting the IGMP protocol option).

    2. create a static ARP entry for the address of virtual cluster on the router for the subnet of the server.

    3. (maybe) configure a static MAC table entry on the router for the subnet of the server.

    3. (maybe) to disable the IGMP snooping on the VLAN appropriate in the Nexus 1000v.

    My questions are:

    1. any person running successfully a similar configuration?

    2 are there missing steps in the list above, or I shouldn't do?

    3. If I am disabling the snooping IGMP on the Nexus 1000v should I also disable it on the fabric of UCS interconnections and router?

    Thanks a lot for your time,.

    Aaron

    Aaron,

    The steps above you are correct, you need steps 1-4 to operate correctly.  Normally people will create a VLAN separate to their interfaces NLB/subnet, to prevent floods mcast uncessisary frameworks within the network.

    To answer your questions

    (1) I saw multiple clients run this configuration

    (2) the steps you are correct

    (3) you can't toggle the on UCS IGMP snooping.  It is enabled by default and not a configurable option.  There is no need to change anything within the UCS regarding MS NLB with the above procedure.  FYI - the ability to disable/enable the snooping IGMP on UCS is scheduled for a next version 2.1.


    This is the correct method untill the time we have the option of configuring static multicast mac entries on
    the Nexus 1000v.  If this is a feature you'd like, please open a TAC case and request for bug CSCtb93725 to be linked to your SR.

    This will give more "push" to our develpment team to prioritize this request.

    Hopefully some other customers can share their experience.

  • 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
