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)

Let me know if you have more doubts, if not, please check the question as "answered" so future users to see that you found the information you are looking for.

  • Cisco recent "update" for E4200 product error Code 3018, which ended wireless.

    The update "has failed," for an "unexpected error".  Connection Wi - Fi is turned off, although, as you have no doubt noticed, I can always connect to the internet (via an ethernet cable from my router to my laptop OS x 10.6.8).  Error code 3018 unknown to Cisco's Web site.  Any ideas?  Or should I just start over with the installation for my router E4200 disc?

    Hard reset the router and try again.

  • updated for vmWare Fustion 6 but cannot create Bootcamp

    I improved the 5-6 Fusion Fusion and tried to update my Bootcamp VM and it kept giving me an error that I needed to remove the virtual machine.

    The message is

    Your Boot Camp installation has been changed you last accessed it.

    Place the machine virtual Boot Camp in the trash, then select "Execute Boot Camp" to recreate. This will not affect Windows applications or on your Boot Camp partition.

    Power DiskEarly module has failed.

    Unable to start the virtual machine.

    I tried to move to the trash, and that doesn't seem to help. I he returned but still kept getting the message above. Then I deleted the virtual machine from Fusion. Seems to have removed completely not only move it to the trash. That is not a problem if I could create the virtual machine, but when I try to create the Boot Camp virtual machine I get the following message, under Choose a Boot Camp Volume:

    BOOTCAMP

    If the disk is used by another virtual machine, it must be switched off first.

    Select the volume and the option (create a Boot Camp virtual machine) I can't select CONTINUE. The CONTINUE button is grayed out.

    I tried searching on the web but couldn't find a solution.

    Fortunately, I can still use bootcamp, but I got so used to using Mac and Windows I already lack.

    I hope someone throw some light how do I fix this problem.

    Do you have any utility installed 3rd party to provide write access to the NTFS file system on the partition Boot Camp since OS X?  If yes turn it off temporarily, remove the Boot Camp partition option remount (or restart OS X), then try again.

    Tuxera NTFS is an example of a 3rd party utility installed to provide write access for the filesystem NTFS in OS X.

  • Is there any update for VMware Tools for Workstation 8.0.3?

    I've never installed a new version of VMware Workstation without the need to upgrade VMware tools in each of my virtual machines.  After the upgrade to Workstation 8.0.3 there was no prompt to update VMware Tools and he says that it is up-to-date.  Was there no new version of VMware Tools with this upgrade, or am I missing something simple just?

    Thank you

    ~ J

    What I see on VMware Server, VMware Tools 8.8.2 are used in both VMware Workstation 8.0.2 and 8.0.3.  So, looks like two issues CVE VMware Workstation 8.0.3 addresses has been fixed in the base files not tools packages.

  • 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

  • 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-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.

  • Update 3 for vmware Infrastructure 3 is a comprehensive update?

    Is update 3 for vmware Infrastructure 3, a comprehensive update or should I install the update 1 and day 2 first?

    I believe that if you apply the update 3 with the Update Manager and then rescan with your baseline, you will see fewer missing updates.  It should take care of all update 1 and day 2 patches.  If you want to apply update 3 make sure to run all of the patches that have been released since then as well, there are a few recent bugfixes of update 3.

    If all goes well with this number of hosts you can eliminate the time instead of reduce, if you have the DRS in fully automatic mode when you use the Manager to update to migrate the guests off the coast to other hosts for you while patch.

  • 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.

  • Cisco UCS 260 M 2 5.5 U3 - custom image and compatibility

    TAC has a customer turned and pointed toward a compatibility table for an installed UCS - C 260M 2, stating that the firmware of the UCS and the latest version of Vmware is not supported.

    They are suggesting that the client moves to fimware 1.5 (9) and they use a customized image of Cisco for Vmware.

    This facility is for UC/EAC, so I have to make sure that the versions supported in the docwiki for these products as well is the Vmware version.

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

    The drop down menu shows Vmware 5.5 U3 is a supported version and I find that 5.5 is supported in the dockwiki. So far so good.

    However, when I try to find a custom image for 5.5 U3 image only I find it:

    https://my.VMware.com/Web/VMware/details?ProductID=353&downloadGroup=OEM...

    VMware 5.5 U3a. The version of the driver specified on this page do not match driver versions indicating the interoperability matrix must be used.

    First, is there a customized image of Cisco for 5.5 U3, could someone point me to this image so that these versions of the drivers are the same?

    Secondly, can I use ISO customized Cisco to upgrade a vanilla install Vmware 5.1 U3?

    -GDR

    Greetings.

    The Cisco Custom images are just a collection of pilots who were up-to-date at the time wherever it has been presented to VMware.  It is expected that iso custom will exactly match the interoperability matrix (it could have at the time, it was created), but at least provide newer drivers than what is usually installed in the general VMware releases.

    The interoperability matrix will list the specific driver, i.e. igb driver intel 1 GB network interface.  Download you the version of the driver for VMware site and install adapt you to the requirements notified by the interoperability matrix.

    You should be able to use a custom Cisco ISO to upgrade.  When your custom installation ISO analyzes your existing system, it will see a higher version of the drivers/VIBs and update those.  The Cisco with custom isos are simply the original VMware updated versions the drivers injected into them.

    Thank you

  • 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

  • vFoglight with Cisco UCS

    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 Dieck

    Craig, 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...

    Thank you

    Amit,

    We do not support direct damage attach FC tape library to the FI currently.
