Connect UCS to Nexus

• Please tell me how to connect with FCoE mini-UCS and Nexus N5k (N5K-C5548UP-B-S32)

  I have UCS 5108 chassis of Server Blade (with two blades B200 M3 inside and two FI 6324) connected to the switch of Nexus N5k 4x10GE links.

  I want to set both aggregated channels FCoE (vFC) of chassi to pass.

  All the instructions I've seen mention that UCS-mini needs to be mode end-host FC, but version 3.0 UCSM does not support this mode, what should you do?

  I put in place following the www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/switches/nexus-5000-series-switches/116248-configure-fcoe-00.html instructions

  But after the installation, I get an error on the fabric: FCoE or FC uplink is down on Vsan 500;

  And the Nexus program: Vsan 500 is declining (pending flogi)

  When I ' display interface vfc 1 ' CLI nexus I don't see "Trunk VSAN (high)", but

  "VSANS trunk (boot) (500).

  Unfortunately, I can't find the technical notes for mini UCS (with UCSM v. 3.0), so maybe you can promt guides or suggestion for this?

  Thank you in advance!

  Same question here.

• Trouble seeing vhba of UCS on Nexus 5 k

  I have UCS > 6100 (a/b) > nexus 5 k (a / b) > emc vnx 5300.  I have two installed VSAN and my switch can see two ports on my vnx5300 with show flogi. However, my 5ks don't see the vhba on the ucs system. I have two vhba configured, a tissue in one and the other for fabric b. From now the nexus is connected to the 6100 as a port channel. Ports-channel is configured as a trunk. Now, this makes me think that this is where the vsan communication is a failure. The connection to the 6100 and nexus needs to be something more than a simple trunk?

  Dennis

  Dennis,

  I hope that you give on the Fiber Channel uplinks to your N5K and not Eth/FCoE (there no FCOE Multihop yet).

  Assuming that you have your 6100's with CF logs to your N5Ks and the N5K "npiv' enabled, you should see the flogi to your host vHBAs.

  The CLI of 6100 you can also 'connect nxos' and 'show flogi npv' which will show you the CF sessions between your 6100 and N5K - I find where you problem.

  All of your SAN connections would travel on the module of Fibre Channel 6100, up to Channel N5K Fiber module, then to your table.  You can always trunk and channel ports SAN your rising FC.  Just to confirm that this is what you did and not using uplink Ethernet to your N5K waiting to work.

  Can you provide a diagram or a detail the exact topology (Eth, FC etc)

  Kind regards

• UCS to NEXUS

  Hello

  Is it possible to connect a UCS solution to a pair of 5500 Nexus via native Ethernet according to LAN and CF communications native according to communications SAN? Then I was going to link arrays EMC VNX 5500 Nexus via native FC and the core of his native LAN via Ethernet. In other words, I use 5500 Nexus as a LAN/SAN consolidated device, but WITHOUT using a consolidated as FCoE Protocol. This design is ok? Have warnings or things to keep in mind?

  In addition, in this scenario it would add any benefit to connect the VNX berries to the Nexus through FCoE instead of native FC?

  Thank you

  This will work. Do us all the time in our laboratory. The 5500 replaces the need for a MDS or Brocade FC switch. It works perfectly. You can use the NPIV Switch 5500 or you can enable the CF to switching in the box of the UCS and make a E or TE port between the 5500 and UCS FIs.  We also support F port channel trunk between 5500 and UCS FI, you can do just about every option CF connection between boxes of Nexus and UCS.

  I can't comment on the VNX and it's FCOE capabilities.

• Connectivity problem between Nexus 5548 to VNX 5300

  Hi all

  I'm a lab facility where I want to connect Nexus 5548 UP to 5300 VNX storage directly. Physical connectivity is established between the switch and the storage, but the Nexus, the port State shows "linkFailure". I've tried corresponding to the port (such as self, F) mode and the speed but the port still says "linkFailure".

  Connectivity between Nexus and VNX is CF.

  Someone may suggest the cause or the troubleshooting steps.

  Kind regards

  AFA

  LinkFailure could be a GUI status.

  might show interface fcx/y say.

  Failure to bind or not connected

  The physical layer link is not operational.

  This means that the switch does not detect the light, so the phyiscal layer is the cable and lasers (sfp, HBA or other adapter uses the VNX).  This could mean that you have to turn the interfaace to the top of the side vnx.

• I have a printer HP 7510, it does not connect with my Nexus 7 not the printer recognize Android?

  I have a printer HP 7510 with eprint and is an own address. I bought a Nexus 7 - I, m having trouble with my Nexus 7 communicate with my printer. Is this a problem of updating software with the printer or is - that the "absence of the operator (not quite irritable)?

  Sorry to hear you are having problems, but there are 2 ways that you can print from that device.

  The first is simply send photos or documents to your e-mail address of printers by attaching them to a new message.

  The other option is to download the HP ePrint home and Biz on Google game application. The app is free and should allow you to print images and documents to the printer with ease. I've added a link below on how to get started with this app.

• Map of ESX/ESXi DRS/HA/FT-UCS M71KR - Nexus 1000

  Hi all

  I have a doubt about the configuration of ESX/ESXi in congiunction with ucs years n1k.

  If I use the channel (mac-pinning based due to material ucs) on n1k and I have only two NIC (M71KR) card can I properly configure FT/HA or DRS.

  having a port-channel vmware is informed of nic ha? I may have some redundant warning as a note to management interface or stuff like that?

  any idea of?

  TNX

  Dan

  Dan,

  We work with the DRS, FT and HA. You will be able to configure a Port-Channel with MAC-pinning and always use DRS, the FT and HA feature.

  To create the channel port, you must add the two network interface cards to the DVS in a perspective of VMware is aware that you have redundancy NIC.

• UCS/Nexus and FCoE Question

  Hi all:

  Can we connect a FCoE target directly to an interconnection of fabric or a Nexus 5xxx CWF in NPV mode and not connected to an FC switch for power and tissue services continue to have the initiator see the target and be able to supply storage as a result?

  Thus, the scenario would be the following:

  a server rack with an ANC connected to a Nexus 5xxx CWF in NPV mode

  OR

  a server blade a NON related to interconnection of UCS fabric (which is also a CWF) in VAN mode

  AND

  In the above cases, there is NO CONNECTION between the RTC and an FC switch.

  I will be able to have the ANC (FCoE initiator) see table of Strorage (FCoE target)?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Yes you are right. For the direct-attached storage work, you need the FI in FC switch mode. Your explanation is good and you can not storage direct-attached mode/npv end FC host mode. With FI in npv mode, it can just transfer CF applications to an NPIV switch and cannot process any request CF as FLOGI etc...

  In addition, in the UCS versions under 2.1 you need a SAN switch connected to a FI running in mode switching and storage directly connected to it, which can push the FI database zoning. Thanks to 2.1, you can have storage direct-attached without the need for any SAN switch upstream as we have zoning capabilities in UCS now.

  In short, for all direct-attached storage, you must have FI FC Switching mode.

• 5508 LAG connected to Nexus bundle

  Putting in place a WLC 5508 connected to a Nexus C7010 performer 5.1 (1) of the code.

  Installation guide for the WLC recommends the switch, that the WLC is connected to the tracks src-dst-ip load balancing across the beam LAG. The installation guide also makes reference to 6500 switches that are running versions of IOS which adds the number VLAN to the hash function and advises that this is incompatible with the WLC.

  This seems to be the case with the Nexus as the show command shows:

  name # sh port-channel - balance load

  Port Channel Configuration of load balancing:

  System: src - dst ip - vlan

  Port channel balancing address by protocol used:

  No - IP: mac src - dst

  IP: src - dst ip - vlan

  The link doesn't seem to have a purely src - dst ip option as shown below load balancing

  Name (config) # port - channel - the balance of the load src - dst?

  IP l4port IP and port L4

  IP-l4port-vlan IP, L4 port and VLAN

  IP IP-vlan, and VLANS

  l4port L4 port

  Mac MAC

  Anyone has an idea, what option should I use for compatibility with the 5508 and its connection LAG?

  Hello Erick,.

  From now on, the src-dst-ip pure load balancer is not available on the N7K and, Yes, we have had reports that, with all the other things method could break between the 5508 and the N7K.

  You can test with src - dst ip - vlan (it is the closest), but already we have seen previous issues: the only way to get around a connected to a N7K 5508 is through a single port, or with a switch between the two that can do the the src-dst-ip load balancing.

  To do this, an enhancement (visible internally) for the N7K request was filed:

  http://Tools.Cisco.com/support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCtf19657

  Src-dst-ip load balancing method should be available on the N7K from 5.1.2: best however to double check with N7K CSC forum or through a standard case of TAC:

• VMware View connect not not using Nexus 7 (2013)

  Hi all.  I am a new user and have problems even connect using my Nexus 7 (2013).  I use VMware View version 2.3.3 - 1749018 on Android 4.4.2.  Whenever I try to connect to a virtual desktop, I get an error "Lost connection to server."  I can always regardless of my physical location or what wireless network that I use.  In all the same places I can always connect with my iPhone.

  Any ideas? Sorry if I left out some key info.

  Thanks for the quick response.  I went through your steps and unfortunately had no chance.  But I managed to get connected in a different way, maybe it will help others.

  My Nexus 7 is set up with two accounts different profiles/user.  The first and main is my personal account.  The second (child) account is my business account.  I managed to install the VMware View app on my work account profile, but it would never connect.  I tried to install the VMware View app on my personal account profile and it connect to 100% of the time.  So, there is some difference in my settings on these two profiles OR child accounts have some inherent differences I don't know.

  If someone else has a similar problem, try using your main account to connect!

• Question of VLAN native of UCS

  All,

  I have a problem that I can not just wrap my mind autour.  We have UCS setup in a lab with 2 interconnections connected to 2 nexus switches 5510.  The nexus switches are passed to the network via a Switch 4900 m.  All circuits are configured and tested as functional. All routing is configured and confirmed.  I have a problem in UCS, which is confusing to me.  In the lab, I kept the VLAN native to the vlan1.  I have the Setup VLAN 2-10 on all switches test and interconnections.  I created a service profile that contains 1 network card and placed it in the VLAN 7.  I installed Windows 2008 on a blade using this service profile.  In the operating system I statically IP'ed the NIC for the schema used in VLAN 7.  The OS, I cannot ping another device located in the vlan 7.  Also, I can't ping a host on a different VLAN.  If I place a check on the VLAN 1 as the vlan native I still cannot ping anything.  If I place the audit for vlan native to vlan 7 I can ping hosts in the same vlan, as well as outside of the vlan.  So why should I place vlan 7 as the vlan native when all my boxes are set up in the vlan 1 is the vlan native?

  Thanks for any help,

  Ken

  Ken,

  When you allow some VLANs on your Service vNIC profile you will need to set the VLAN native. This is because the way you have configured currently you are only "allowing VLAN 15', but you're not marking it.   It will work fine for ESX or Linux which allows to assign the dot1q tag to the host.  With Windows unless you have specific drivers doing the marking for you, you will need to do it at the level of the vNIC in UCS.

  Two ways to see this in action.  When you create a service profile in the 'Basic' - not 'Expert' method, you will need to choose a single VLAN for your interfaces.  This will treat interfaces about like an "access Port".  Conversely, when you use the "Expert mode you select the vNIC as a trunk, in which you" will allow to "all VLAN you acceding them as to, like this is the method you did.»

  For a Windows operating system, set the VLAN natively for the VLAN you want to access and you'll be gentle.  Unchecking this option button that "VLAN native" is allowing traffic to cross out of UCS on the VLAN native VLAN 1, your network - it is therefore MAC appears on other fabric under VLAN1

  Kind regards

• Disable mac leaning UCS

  We have a single fabric interconnect with 7 on connected servers. I get the traffic that I want to capture on one server but the destination Mac are not for this server. Because of this, the packets are getting rejected by the interconnection of fabric. This traffic is on vlan 4090. Is it possible to send all traffic for the 4090 VLAN through a particular server? Establishing a new vnic to benefit from all that traffic would be ideal.

  If this does not make sense, here's the longer description of what I'm trying to do. I have a traffic flow which is a mirror of RADIUS and dhcp of our radius traffic, and DHCP servers. We want to capture all the traffic on a server and store it in a file. We have the workflow and you can see the traffic on a server not UCS by setting the network adapter in promiscuous mode before turning off learning mac on a switch non - UCS that we use. However, in the environment of the UCS these packages don't get through. In short, can I put off learning mac (or whatever the FI do) just for the vlan 4090 and flood these packets to any server with a vnic on 4090?

  Hi Mike,.

  It makes perfect sense.  You want to basically COVER all the traffic and use of the destination vNIC interface.  See CSCtr80980.

  This feature is not currently supported.

  What you could do is send a one-way to the UCS VM ERSPAN session if your source allows it.  What are the sources servers connected to? Nexus switch?   (Wireshark can that decapsulating and save it in a wheelchair-capture file.)
