• 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

• 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

• Setting port channel between UCS - FI and MDS 9124 (Mode F)

  Dear team,

  We tried to create the channel of port between UCS FI and MDS 9124

  But the port channel do not take action in mode F on MDS 9124

  FI is in host FC end Mode

  We have allowed FC uplink on FI trunking

  We have activated NPIV on MDS

  We have activated the MDS trunk

  FI and MDS in default VSAN

  To check that we have changed the way FI FC channels mode and switch port became active, but in E mode

  When we enabled CF trunking of uplink on the port mode FI channels and FC Switching became active in mode TE

  but in both cases above, showflogi database shows WWPN of SAN alone does not have the any fi.

  How to achieve this?

  Have read that no need to change the mode switching mode of CF swicthing and keep FC Endhost way

  SO how to channel ports with mode F MDS and FI (Display Mode as NProxy)

  What is it has nothing to do with the MDS NX - OS version? (https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2179129)

  If yes how to put as license for ports came with the camera and we don't have any CAP/PAK or license file as she came

  with license

  Also, we saw 2 files available for download (m9100-s2ek9-kickstart - mz.5.2.8 .bin and m9100-s2ek9 - mz.5.2.8 .bin b b) to use

  Hi Jo Bo.

  What version of the software if your MDS race?

  On your UCS do connect nxos and show ficelleStringString ficelleT inteface and find the mac address.

  It is possible that you could be hitting the bug below. If this is the case, you may need to update the firmware on your MDS.

  Add MAC YES '002a6a', '8c604f', '00defb' for 5 k/UCS-FI

• UCS C200 and NIC Teaming/FailOver

  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.

• Research of software bug

  Hi team,

  Cisco removed the ability to search for known bugs in a particular software version?

  The new tool of bug seems to allow seraches if you know the ID of the bug.

  All my attempts to locate the old dialog box where you enter platform and software information ended up in this new tool.

  The link of display bugs in advising software also now just takes you to the new bug tool.

  How am I supposed to identify a potential bug that we are witnessing on our infrastructure when I clearly do not know the ID of the bug?

  The information on the link for this tool States 'Finding software bugs based on the product, release and key word'. I don't see how this is possible.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I see that you do not have an assosiated to your Cisco.com user ID valid service contract. To search for bugs in products or releases, you need a valid service contract in your Cisco.com user ID.

  If you do not have a service contract you can get one through:

  • Your team if you have a purchase contract direct with Cisco Cisco
  • Your Cisco partner or reseller

  Once you have the service contract, you must associate your service agreement with your Cisco.com user ID with the Profile Manager

• UCS C22 M3 software RAID LSI problem with hard drive

  Hello

  I post here because I searched many hours for a stupid problem.

  I have a Cisco UCS C22 M3 with soft RAID LSI MagicRAID.
  I have two hard disk of 1 TB.
  I create a RAID array with the type 1 (mirror).

  When I run the installation of VMware ESXi 5.1 U1 I see the RAID array, but the two discs.
  I think that it is a driver problem.
  So, I install special with an iso VMware in the VMware Web site for Cisco server.
  I have test with ESXi 5.0 and 5.1, and 5.1 U1 but it's the same problem.

  I try to remove the RAID array and to install esx on disc one monkey. Installation works well, but in the boot menu, I can't boot from a hard disk. I don't know why I search with UEFI and she is disabled.

  I test with windows 2012, and 2008R2 to check if its working but in install I don't see also hard drive or the RAID array.
  I go to Cisco and download the driver of the 2G for VMware Linux and Windows.
  I try inserting the driver in windows install, but does not.
  I think that the driver for a hardware RAID card and software.

  I have try to disable the LSI RAID in the advanced bios "SouthBridge". After I disabled I don't know how I can do to start on the hard drive.
  When I go to the start menu (F6) I see absolutely nothing in drive.

  I test this on two Cisco server.

  I can't know what I can do now. I take a working installation tomorrow and nothing.

  I join you a photo of the boot sequence LSI.

  Thank you very much.

  Sent by Cisco Support technique iPhone App

  Stephane,

  For what I understand, you use the RAID controller integrated, therefore, these drivers will not work you:

  -LSI 92xx

  -LSI 106xE

  -LSI 2008 M

  -INS 3081E-R

  -LSI8708EM2

  -LSI 9201< all="" of="" the="" above="" are="" not="" the="" controller="" you="">

  -CISO 1225 x< this="" is="" for="" the="" vic="">

  -CISCO P81E< this="" is="" for="" the="" 1st="" generation="" of="" vic="" cards,="" so="" definitely="" not="" a="" raid="">

  Pilots are organized into top level by operating system folders, and each folder of OS has a structured series hierarchically who become more specific subfolders so that you can find the exact drivers you need. When you navigate to a folder containing the drivers, it will contain also one or several README files that explains what are these drivers in particular.

  Here is an example of the structure of folder for Windows:

  Windows    ChipSet       vendor          blade-model-number             OS-version-number                All                ia64                Lang (contains language subfolders)                Vista                x64

  You need to look for: /< OS > / storage/Intel/C600 /.< if="" you="" are ="" doing="" the="" installation="" of="" the="" os="" through="" the="" kvm,="" you="" first="" need="" to="" un-mount="" the="" os="" .iso="" image="" to="" mount="" the="" drivers,="" once="" the="" drivers="" are="" done,="" un-mount="" the="" drivers="" and="" mount="" again="" the="" os="" .iso="">

  If it does not, you better open a TAC case that will allow us to put in place an additional troubleshooting Webex meeting.

• 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)

• Lack of drivers and software

  So I have a VPCL232FX that is 2 months old and I downloaded Windows 8 and ALL the drivers and software (which I wanted) on the support page and I seem to be missing elements.

  First, the touch screen driver is missing from the page and so does not work. 2. the firmware sony Monitor driver is missing. 3. the driver of a Dolby sound is missing. 4 update Sony and Sony Care do not work because I installed and when I go to check updates, it says that I must be careful of sony to check for updates day and not of sony update, even if I am in charge of sony. 5. There is no update of the software of bluray or anything. 6. my keyboard shortcuts do not work except volume. 7 Sony control has reduced the elements and features for development of speaker stuff are absent, control monitor stuff are missing, etc. 8. I seem to lack of Intel components such as the Intel Management Engine interface and a few others. Sony drivers still checking or what it?

  I was going to list the download URL for each article you mention however there is a faster way to get all your drivers.  Download our VAIO - Lite version upgrade tool.  It will automatically capture the Windows 8 drivers for you.

  Go here:

  http://eSupport.Sony.com/Perl/SWU-download.pl?upd_id=8153&SMB=Yes

  Note: The VAIO Upgrade too Lite version contains only driver and software from Sony.  It will not contain 3rd party software like PowerDVD for BD.

  I would recommend that you reinstall Windows 7--> performing an upgrade (not clean) to Windows 8--> purchase and use the full version of VAIO upgrade tools
