• Cisco UCS C240 M3 questions

  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

• 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

• Reserved Vlan ID in Cisco UCS

  Yes, unfortunately

• 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

  -Amit

  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)

• Mellanox for Cisco UCS RDMA support.

  Hello

  I wonder if anyone can help or tell me if there is interconnection support RDMA Mellanox and Cisco UCS B series or fabric. It is possible to connect on the technical level.

  I have clients who have Cisco UCS B Series more Windows 2012 R2 HyperV installed, who now want to connect RDMA Mellanox storage medium

  Hi murielle

  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

• [Issue] TMS without VMWare using the UCS is off license?

  Hello. I am an engineer junior videoconference from South Korea.

  We use the TMS device type, but now, if we order a new MSDS, we should buy a TMS worm, not the type of device software.

  Yes, it's ok.

  However, I've heard CISCO UCS user agreement dosen't allow to install the windows Server 2008 for TMS basement without VMware environment.

  If I don't know the terms of the agreement and install the OS without VMware, then, I can take the open service case?

  is this true? If it is true, then, I do not understand these terms of use for UCS for TMS.

  Could you link/specity the user agreement you're talking about?

  Besides the fact that you have a license for vmware, I don't think

  that a server is empty of ucs has such a restriction.

  On the other hand, you might want to use vmware under tms just to make your life

  easier (snapshorts before the updates, share the same server with other applications

  (such as vcs, cucm, sql dedicated server, linux management box,...)

  Please remember useful frequency responses and identify useful or correct answers.
