Cisco UCS C240 M3 BIOS Flash Image corrupt
I have a Cisco UCS C240 M3 server than the bios flash corrupted image.
I followed the steps to recover the bios but below the image, this machine couldn't find a recovery.cap file...
I just plugged my USB key and the file recovery.cap in the folder root of the USB.
also the FAT16 formatted USB and FAT32, but it failed.
I plugged my USB thumb key USB which is at the center of the server.
Help, please...
also, the keyboard and the mouse doesn't work. they couldn't recognize too.
Have you had the recovery.cap ISO HUU for the ISO c240 (see screenshot)?
Make sure the USB is formatted, and only the image of recovery.cap is inside.

Hello
I'm trying to install VMWare ESXi on a Cisco UCS C240 M3 and have a few problems.
I configured the other servers before, but never a Cisco UCS.
Firmware versions
v1.5 (7 c) I could not load the KVM as I have a problem of Java. I am running Java v1.6.0_27 on my client.
v2.0 (1B), the server kept by booting to the BIOS and seemed to ignore other startup options
v2.0 (3d) the keyboard no longer works in KVM.
Startup options
There are a lot of startup options, and they seem to be configurable in many different places.
I don't know where to start or what would be best practices?
Nothing seems to work I'm waiting, and I did a lot of reading through documents, help, etc. online.
My local Cisco support person on vacation so I hope someone can help me or guide me in the right direction.
Thank you & best regards
Steve
Glad you found a way to fix it, don't forget to mark it as answered future users finding themselves in the same situation.

Cisco UCS c240 can not have a partition outside the disk

request the language, root password and when I click on install, it gives an error. (see attached files)
This program has encountered an error: parted util, can't have a partition outside the disk
I have 2 servers configured exactly, out of the box, same error... any idea?
OK, so I tried with an older version of esx:

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

Cisco UCS C240M4 Esxi installation version 5.0 cisco custom image do not start
Hi all
We are trying to install ESXi 5.0 on Cisco UCS C240M4 server and during loading of the VMware purple screen with the following error
Bora/vmkernel/hardware/apic.c:1913 and bora/vmkernel/hardware/apic.c:1915 NOT_IMPLEMENTED NOT_IMPLEMENTED.
Greetings.
ESXi 5.1 U2 is the first supported by Cisco for the C240M4. See matrix interop
I suspect that older versions 5.0 and earlier versions will have problems with the latest chipsets, as well as the lack of 12 GB storage controller drivers.
You will want to check the interop matrix for which OS versions are supported as well as different levels of driver for the network cards, storage, etc.
Thank you

Need help to recover a bad BIOS flash on Satellite L300D-01
I need your help to fix my laptop because the BIOS is not included in the guarantee.
What happened:
I was downloading all the drivers from the site Web of Toshiba to make a CD-ROM of drivers, in case I need it.
I clicked the update of the BIOS when I drag and drop into a new folder and the BIOS start without asking and freezz about 50% I wait 30 min because I know THAT BIOS is critical, but after all this time I have no choice then to power off the computer.Now when I turn on the computer, I have no disk image trying to read and she.
Now what I want to do is a CRISIS of recovery since this is the only option I have for now.
What I need, is that the BIOS file not the stupid .exe, but a ROM or .bin I think and instruction to do on this particular model.
Thanks for looking for my post and I hope that someone can help me here because repair $80 for a budget laptop is great.
I doubt that you might be able to repair this laptop for yourself.
The fact is that the ROM module has been flashed properly and I guess it must be flashed again using a traditional BIOS version.
This version of BIOS is NOT available on the Toshiba page. Only a victory according to BIOS version.Therefore, you will need to contact the ASP in your country for a BIOS flashing module.
Mate sorry but I don't see another solution to the problem you.

Problem with the BIOS boot image
Hi - I recently updated day/flashed the BIOS of my T60 (2623-KFU) through windows by using the Setup files in the support section. I noticed the image of the characteristic changing BIOS boot and creates the Logo.Mod file that I have included in my BIOS flash. However, flashing it, I noticed that the Intel Logo (top-right) and the Lenovo Logo (right & Vertical) still exists and overlapped my custom image.
Is it possible to remove these logos so that I can have a clean design beautiful original appears at startup? I tried flashing back to nothing does not.
ThinkWiki says that you have to work with them. I didn't find a way to remove them.

Windows (7 x 64), I tried to update the BIOS.
He treated and after that it restarted to close unexpectedly.
Now, after turning on the laptop it beeps twice and that's it.
Nothing appears on the screen.
Tried to download the bootable BIOS flash CD, but unable to start than at the Lair of the BIOS.
I guarantee, but I think I have to send the machine in another country (im in Hungary) for weeks, I ask so as there may be a solution for this... but I 'google' for hours on the subject.
Thanks in advance.
Hi cbodis,
I'm sorry to hear the BIOS update failed, but I think that your only option in this case is the service. I'm sure that there are no other choice to fix it on your own if the BIOS is damaged after a failed BIOS updated.
Are you sure you want to send the computer to another country? I'm sure that the computer can be fixed in Hungary. They will probably replace just the motherboard. You can call the following number and ask about the warranty/service: 36-1-382-5500
As for the future, I recommend that you update the BIOS by downloading the ISO image, burn the image and boot from the CD to update instead of Windows Update. I know this will not solve the problem, but I've heard more issued after only an update of Windows over the use of the ISO so maybe a good idea for the future.

Am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. When the recovery is executed to create a disk Image, it fails stating that there is not enough space on the empty external hard drive (1. 5 t). The drive is freshly formatted. I want to reflash my BIOS with the latest version, however there is not BIOS flash utility for win7. How can be flashed the BIOS?
The BIOS can actually be flashed to Win 7... its a project!
The HP utility allows the creation of a bootable CD that can Flash the BIOS, and it's this *.iso file that must be extracted and burned to a CD, that we are after.
Right click on the file thedownloaded containing the remote Flash BIOS utility and run it in Windows XP SP 2 compatibility mode.
This will generate a folder with several file folder in there, and we got the inside *.iso file.
The generic Windows CD burning software that opens automatically will fail, so shut up.
Start any CD burning software that allows the creation of a data disk, or more precisely, the burning of a disk image.
Copy the *.iso file in the CD burning software and burn the CD.
The set of restart and hit the key options to Boot.
Select, boot from the CD drive.
This should start the BIOS flashing utility that runs automatically.
In this way, the BIOS can be flashed without the use of Windows, as the BIOS flash utility is a utility BACK.

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.

Any ideas?
Thank you.

Hello
Please check if the cables are connect integrated RAID controller and the appropriate ports on the back plane.

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.
