• 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 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

• 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.

• 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

• Cisco UCS update for vmware

  Hi all

  I am facing a problem to upgrade my vmware environment. Is it possible to upgrade my current environment to vmware vSphere 5.0 to 5.5 or v6 vSphere? Here's my current Cisco UCS report. Cisco said that no Vmware said yes.  Someone at - he tried or who have this problem?

  Current version = UCSM B series

  The UCS = 2.1 release (2)

  Server model = B230-M2

  Adapter = CAN-M91kR UCS Virtual Interface Card

  If you need confirm the hardware and software compatibility, here is your best friend:

  http://www.Cisco.com/Web/TechDoc/UCS/interoperability/matrix/matrix.html

  With version UCSM you use and the material, you have the latest version supported is ESXi 5.1 U1, but if you upgrade to 2.1.3 you will see Esxi 5.1 U2 - 3, 5.5, 5.5 ESXi U1 - 2 and 6 Esxi ESXi.

  I bet you meant to type M81KR, so keep this in mind for a proper functioning:

  1.5.0.45 = card driver (FNIC), 2.1.2.38 (ENIC)
  Adapter Firmware = 2.1 (3)
