Cisco UCS configuration happy Pack
Hello
I downloaded the last available Cisco UCS Content Pack, listed as version 1.5. I was able to import the content successfully Pack and see the dashboard properties, queries, alerts and retrieves the fields. I am also able to select the Cisco UCS content Pack in a drop-down list in the section of the dashboards of the site (no data is displayed).
However, I can't find anyway to configure the content Pack in my Center of interconnection Cisco UCS fabric, etc!
Am I missing something?
Do you mean Insight Log version 1.5 to version 1.5?
Instructions for the UCS configuration can be found here: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/servers-unified-computing/ucs-manager/110265-setup-syslog-for-ucs.html. You can add a review on the UCS on Solution Exchange application documentation.

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.
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

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 DieckCraig, 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 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

Dell TL4000 Tape Library on Cisco UCS 6120
Hello
We have Cisco UCS 5108 2 6120XP fabric of interconnection. We are running VMware on my Cisco blades. I have I need to connect my Dell TL 4000 LTO3 tape library this Cisco UCS so that I can configure a virtual machine with the EMC Networker software for backup of virtual machine data. When I connect the Cisco UCS library, it does not recoginize as tape drive.
Please suggest how to set up the same.
Thank you
Amit,
We do not support direct damage attach FC tape library to the FI currently.
It may be a CF or CF storage end switch.

Hello
We currently have a stand-alone series cisco C with 2012 Windows Server installed on the local disks. We need to go this Cisco UCS server managed with a service profile, but can not lose existing data and the method of operating system boot.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thank you
Hi Adrien,.
To be able to accomplish this together the local drive to 'any Configuration' policy this way UCSM won't overwrite the current raid on the server configuration.

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.

Service profile of the CISCO UCS for ESXi
Do you need multiple boot LUN on the storage array for each host that you want to apply the service profile to? I'm just confused, let's say I have 12 blades that I want to designate as boot SAN for ESXi, y aura-t 12 profiles of separate service for each of them, and will need me 12 different LUNS on our storage? I am new to this and I just want to make it as clean as possible! Any help is appreciated.
Hi Justin,
You can have the same LUN ID for multiple service profiles, as well as the same target ID. However, your initiators will be different and you will need to configure the zoning on your switch upstream if you use the end host mode.
Here is a good guide, review the basics and how to put in place.

Cisco UCS c240 can not have a partition outside the disk
Hello
I try to install ESXi 5.5 on a Cisco UCS of c240 M3.
The local drive is a FlexFlash Raid 1 2 sd cards.
When installing esx sees the local map 30 g.
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:
ESXi-5.5.0-1746018-Custom-Cisco-5.5.1.3.iso
and it seems to work for now (it's 28%)

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. »
I have a private network 172.16.x.x North on my network is in the vlan what ID 4001, I wanted to present this southbound on NGC. Maybe it's a stupid question but the only way to be arounf to change the Vlan ID to the one who is sitting in the pool of UCS Vlan IDS that are allowed?
Yes, unfortunately

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.

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

vSphere 5.1 on Cisco UCS
Hello
I just want to check is one have tried to install VMware vSphere 5.1 on Cisco UCS blades? I was fine that some items and come to know that if you want to install vSphere 5.1, you have to first upgrade the firmware 2.0 (4A or 4B), and only then you can install / upgrade the 5.1 vSphere
If anyone has a sine qua non for the installation of vSphere 5.1 on B200M2 & B200M3 to share the same

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!
