• 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

• Cisco UCS - FC ports not visible

  on my fabric UCS of interconnection, no ports appear under ports CF.

  all are rather visible under Ethernet Ports.

  they have the good GBIC FC

  am I missing something? have already checked under LAN and SAN Manager of uplinks

  What kind of fabric Interconnect you 6100 s or 6200 s? If 6100 s then you need plug-ins that support the FC ports.

  If you have a 6200 s, you must configure your Ports unified:

• How to move a stand-alone series C of Cisco UCS managed service profile without losing any data?

  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.

• Configuration of a port as 'server port' in UCS FI 6120

  Hi all

  It is a fundamental question. If any user of UCS can kidly help me by providing a checklist for setting up a server in the UCS port, I will be grateful.

  What I've been running a port as the port of the server using the UCS Manager and nothing more. Then I connected the ANC of 10G from the server to this UCS FI. FCoE login never happened. My setup is slightly different from that of a regular system of UCS as I am trying to connect a stand-alone server to the UCS IF instead of use the chassis. Please visit https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2117756?tstart=0 to learn more about this topic.

  Looks like these server ports are the ports of junction and can carry any traffic VLAN? So why not FCoE VLAN? Why no "announcement of the discovery? I hung a finisar and don't see something specific protocol FCoE from port of the server.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  Niranjan,

  It might help to take the steps that need to occur when you connect a 10G ANC to Nexus one N5K.

  In order to get a CF on a N5K virtual connection, the following steps of the manuals must be made:

  (1) create a vfc and bind it to the physical interface where the ANC is attached

  (2) create a vlan and vsan and associate the vlan for the vsan fcoe

  (3) place the vfc in the vsan created in step 2 above

  Once these steps are completed, and a couple of closing/No.-stops, you will get a vfc on the N5K flogi.

  When you create a Service in UCSM profile and associate with a blade with an ANC, UCSM performs all these tasks for you. If you dig into the system, you will see the vfc and veth that were created for your SPs.

  Without a SP and UCSM to manage the port of the server, any of these steps occur, and you will not get a flogi. There is no method to manipulate UCSM to perform what you're trying to do. It is not in the current design of the product.

  The only supported method to attach a rack CSeries server to a cluster UCSM is using the integration of the C-series features and the necessary equipment (FEX)

  I hope this helps.

• I installed VMware ESXi on my Cisco's UCS server but after that I don't get from CIMC.

  I installed VMware ESXi on my Cisco's UCS server but after that I don't get from CIMC. also, I am unable to ping the address IP of CIMC. Any help?

  I think that MMIC does nothing with your ESXi installation... it is OoB management for servers of the UCS.

  Check your config MMIC inside the BIOS again.

• Cisco UCS-C210 M1 accredited for Unified Communications server

  Hello:

  Our VAR tells us that HP and Cisco are splitting up.  We are an HP store today and 7800-H series MCS routers were a perfect fit.  Our VAR tells us now that he must go with the renamed IBM systems.  BUT I would avoid the IBM servers.  And attractive servers Cisco.  But I have been unable to determine if the Cisco UCS-C210 M1 server is certified for various applications of Unified Communications (Manager of Communications, unity, Cisco Emergency Responder, ICM, CVP, etc.).

  Has anyone heard of Communications deployments unified on the hardware of the UCS?

  Thank you

  Ken

  UCS blades are being qualified for management of the applications of the CPU now. The qualification of rack mount server is expected, specifically the C210 later this summar I think.

• 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.

• Configuring the additional server ports

  Hi, if I use 2 ports per chassis of the server and want to add another 2, in addition to plug the cables and the settings, on the interconnection ports to "Set up as a Server Port" y at - it something else which is necessary and there is no interruption of traffic?

  Hello David,.

  If the links between IOM and FI server ports are individual links, then you will recognize the chassis to initialize the new links. This will cause disturbances of the network for a few seconds.

  There is no need to re - recognize the chassis if there is a channel of port of fabric between the IOM and FI.

• Can I configure some ports on FI-6200UP GEM as server ports?

  Hello

  I need your help!

  I know that FI-6100 can't be configured its some port on GEM as the server ports.

  Is it possible to configure ports on FI-6200UP GEM server ports?

  And I wonder too, some ports(1/9-16) on a (Second) group of port can be configured as a server port(1/9-10) port(1/11-12) ethernet uplink, FCoE port(1/13-14) and FC port(1/15-16).

  Thanks in advance.

• FI 6296: Server Ports module extension?

  Hello

  I have read

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/unified_computing/UCS/SW/CLI/config/Guide/2.0/b_UCSM_CLI_Configuration_Guide_2_0_chapter_0101.PDF

  Server ports

  Ports on the server to manage data traffic between the interconnection of fabric and maps on servers.

  You can only configure ports of server on the fixed port module. Plug-ins do not include the server ports.

  means I can use just 48 port fixed module to connect the chassis. If I want to connect 4 link to the IOM 2204, I can connect only 12 chassis?

  I do not understand this limitation...?

  Thank you very much

  Nicolas.

• Connection no UCS server to the fabric of interconnection 6248

  We are migrating our VMS of Dell PowerEdge servers to Cisco UCS environment 620\710. The question has been ask if we can connect our Dell servers directly to the IF SFP ports + and/or the connection of TP will 10 GB. Is this possible? How does the FIs treat non - UCS servers?

  This is not supported! I guess you want to do vmotion and transfer your Dell to UCS Server VM. Just configure the appropriate network connectivity (vlan UCS to Northbound Dell server) and it should work.
