EHM: 1 uplink port failure

Hello

For now, to start a new area of UCS, my client would like to set up an Ethernet Uplink with 1 single port/FO. So, we set up a purchase order with 1 port.

If this link fails, do all the vNIC using this uplink fail?

I mean, the WMare vswitch vmnic are down so this Ethernet uplink failure?

Thank you.

Nicolas.

Hi Nicolas,.

If you have enabled vNIC failover UCS level, the vNIC would move to other interconnection fabric. For example, if the vNIC initially points to FI and the port-channel on FI breaks down, with resume vNIC UCS function would kick in and move the FI B connection. The vmnic on ESX will not be aware of this.

If you have not enabled failover, then the NIC would go down on the UCS (and ESX)

Thank you

  • VSAN membership down on the CF mapped uplink port

    Hello

    Since I upgrade Cisco UCS Manager, all frame and fabric of interconnections of version 2.2 (1), I have a few minor flaws.

    I configure ports 31 and 32 as FC uplink ports and mapped each port to a vsan:

    Port 31 = VSAN 'blue '.

    32 port = "red" VSAN

    (I know, it is not common to map two different VSAN to the same fabric, but I have to)

    Since the update, I get minor flaws:

    31--> FCoE or FC uplink port is broken on 'red' VSAN / membership-down

    32--> FCoE or FC uplink port is broken on 'blue' VSAN / membership-down

    I have no channels of port FC or FC enabled link mode. Interconnection of fabric is EHM.

    Even in other tissues.

    Can anyone help me or is it the same cosmetic problem as stated in the quote?

    Dear friends,

    Need your help...

    Please let me know if I can connect EQL 6110 X (10 G SFP +) storage to ports 10 G SFP + PC 6224 for iSCSI to my servers on a local network connectivity that is 1 G.

    Correct, do not use the uplink ports for Gigabit Ethernet switch for 10GbE tables.    It can connect, but performance and stability will most likely suffer.   So has been the experience of other customers who have tried to do.

  • Uplink port VLAN

    Hello:

    I'm lost

    I know not if you have for example two uplink ports that belong to the same vlan, and two or more NICs for asociated to this VLAN, pinning happen dynamically

    I don't know how to set up a VLAN and assign it to a vNIC

    But I can't found how to link the uplink port to the VLAN in the UCS Manager

    Can someone help me please

    Thanks in advance

    Al,

    In the end-host mode for ethernet, when you set vlan in the UCSM the vlan is automatically assigning / configured on all uplink and port of the server.

    This is a chapter of the Guide to config:

    http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/unified_computing/UCS/SW/GUI/config/Guide/2.0/UCSM_GUI_Configuration_Guide_2_0_chapter15.html

    However, since version 2.0, there is a feature in which you can control or confiure different VLAN on different uplink ports. This feature is characteristic L2-disjoint and here is a URL to configure:

    http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/unified_computing/UCS/SW/GUI/config/Guide/2.0/UCSM_GUI_Configuration_Guide_2_0_chapter21.html

    Uplink Ports Fibre Channel

    Manage ports Uplink Fiber Channel FCoE traffic between the interconnection of fabric and the next layer of the

    SAN storage network. All FCoE network-related traffic is pinned to one of these ports.

    By default, the Fibre Channel ports are uplink. However, you can configure them to work as Fibre Channel

    storage ports. This is useful in cases where a Cisco UCS requires a connection to a DAS storage

    Device (DAS).

    My question is, how the FC Port could handle FCoE traffic? My understanding was that FCoE will be lifted and Enthernet connection only.

  • stop the ethernet uplink port will cause the port of the unit down

    Dear all,

    I want to make sure that this kind of network traffic will communicate internal fi.

    I've disabled the uplink port and found the path of material has also declined.

    Port of the device must road toward uplink port and then back to UCS server?

    Thank you for the clarification.

    Best regards

    Dennis Dai

    Expected behavior.  By default, if there is no uplinks online & fwd, then all links South (Server binds and the ports of the device) will be used also to the bottom.

    See the explanation of Abi here for more information how to change this behavior.

    https://supportforums.Cisco.com/thread/2187144?TSTART=0

    In short, we must change policy control of the network of the way of the material in the Hardware tab.

  • Half of the blades fell when creating a new channel of uplink port?

    I have a pair of 6248UP fiber interconnection (A and B) with blade servers connected. The switch upstream is Nexus7k. Fabric A and B each right has now a channel of uplink port to the Nexus switch upstream. I add a new Nexus switch to connect to the interconnection of fiber. The plan is to have uplink some VIRTUAL networks for Nexus one pass and uplink some VIRTUAL to the second Nexus switch networks.

    After that I configured the new Nexus switch with a channel port (only allowing some VIRTUAL networks) and corresponding port created on fabric channel A and B, new ports-channels have increased. However, half of the blade servers were down after that. What could be the reasons for this problem? Is it because half of the blades have been pinned dynamically on the new channel port, but the new port-channel side Nexus allow only some VIRTUAL networks?

    Is there a way to configure the Channel ports on fiber to interconnect with only the trunk through some VIRTUAL networks? for traffic from the server would not be sent to the port-channel where VLAN server is not allowed?

    Thank you

    In general, all NICs for/vhba of a fabric are declining, if all uplinks of this fabric are declining.

    It's not clear to me, what you're trying to achieve?

    If you create a global VLAN (for the two fabrics), this vlan is automatically inserted in all dependent North trunk links, unless you configure a leaking installation

    (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/solutions/collateral/ns340/ns517/ns224/ns944/white_paper_c11-692008.html)

    Create a new vlan on UCS requires of course also this vlan is created on the switch connection and vpc by default allows all the VLANS. Could it be, that the vlan not appeared on the switch and was therefore not upward on the trunk?

  • 4 FC by FI uplink ports. But what a single port to send the addresses of WWPN vHBA?

    I have four portis configures as uplink FC by FI and FI woking in end host mode.

    I have 24 blades using two vHBA. vHBA0 and vHBA1.

    24 address WWPN are saved on the uplink of SAN of only 1 FC uplink.

    Same case in the other Brocade.

    That is something we don't want.

    All FC uplink ports must be used.

    We have borcade. Advised not to use the port channel.

    I can manually create groups of pin code and balance the load. But do create a lot of model vHBA and tedious work.

    Other autour work?

    Help, please.

    (1) you can only use Port FC channels connecting to Cisco MDS and Nexus or for FC traffic.

    (2) on each FI, run the following command:

    (nxos) # see the npv flogi-table

    You should see the WWPN by connecting to the FIs, or you have problems downstream with your configs vHBA.

    Make sure that vHBA0 is mapped to FI - A and vHBA1 is mapped to FI - B and the proper vSAN is assigned to the vHBAs. Also ensure that the FC connections are not crossed the FIS for the brocades.

    model vHBA allows very simple, consistent deployments.

  • Group of VDS uplink port setting

    Hi all

    I'm new to VDS.

    I found that I can not change setting of group VDS uplink port image attached and many VDS menu editting is not editable.

    I wonder why I can't edit VDS setting. Kindly pls advise.

    This is because there is no need to put anything on the uplink.

    Uplink port groups are distinctly different from normal port groups. There is absolutely no reason to have these settings on the uplink port groups, because they generate all the executives themselves and traffic simply forwards to the vNIC/vmk interfaces on port groups attached, there is no need to expose a Visual similarity like this again. These parameters and others like safety apply to groups of normal port only.

  • Broadcast/multicast designated uplink port

    Hi all

    If I have a chassis with two modules 2208IO and FI6248XPs,

    I'm pinning each server, on each uplink.

    I place an uplink designated B/m on the port of FI6248 1, this means only the Server Blade 1 can receive traffic B/M?

    As far as I know, if I want to access a server I need to know what is the ARP and MAC address is a broadcast traffic.

    So how the remote does find out local server MAC address, like Blade 2,3,4... ?

    Thank you

    Of Hele

    Hello

    UCSM 1.4 and earlier, we had NOT the possibility to implement a leaking layer 2, so he used to work the way you're so the recommendation then was to swtich to end host (EHM) to mode switching Mode, however, now with 2.0 and 2.1, we can implement disjoint Layer 2.

    {Now is NOT recommended to use the switch mode, EHM in new versions has all the features you need to not lose the features available here}

    It's the way it works from 2.0 and newer:

    In this way, you can have an uplink by VLAN designated as receiver for B/M.

    Check this, it may help you understand how it works and how to get around the traffic:

  • On the Satellite P300-172 USB port failure

    I bought this laptop in August 2008, I had no problems with it until last week when the USB port I plug the mouse in stopped working.
    I changed to the following, it also wasn't work, but one of the other side worked ok. Use the computer laptop all that evening, the next day it would not start, just got a whole screen, that came out and it turns off, back on, power lights all came, but just a blank screen. I noticed that the area round the s defective USB was really hot in a few minutes.

    According to me, the failure of USB caused a significant fault, motherboard maybe.
    I paid a lot of money for this laptop and I expected to last more than 13 months. I tried to call Toshiba but I can t live without it repeat press this button for the Department you want, but whatever the button that you press it back to the original message.

    If he had an idea of what could be the problem with the laptop and he thinks that too much power going to him, asked a computer engineer.

    Someone at - it an idea what could be causing this, I am housebound and rely on the internet.

    Hello

    His pity to hear that your laptop has started to malfunction, but a hardware malfunction can always happen. Generally, you should contact the ASP (certified partner) in your country for assistance.

    I put t know where you are but I found this page from Toshiba Europe ASP database:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-> support download &-> find an authorized service provider

    Regarding your question.
    In most cases, the higher internal temperature might be the reason for this closure downs.
    Portable media some sensors that would power the laptop off to prevent material damage the temperature can increase because the cooling modules are blocked because of the dust and debris also use of non-Toshiba graphics card driver can cause problems of graphics so it s always advisable to use the graphics drivers from Toshiba.

    In any case it seems that your laptop needs expert help then get in touch with ASP in your country and ask for more details.

  • Tecra 9000 USB port failure

    Hello Helpers,
    My Tecra 9000 IGH with Windows XP model has two usb ports dead and taken from mouse. From what I've read, it's a defect with this model. The USB ports are on a separate module that is plugged into the main Board.

    Is the fault on the set of the USB module or on the main Board or the fault lies in the power plug. Is the fault of the joints for example dry easily repairable, where a quick touch of a soldering iron can redo them. Does anyone have a circuit diagram which would make tracing easier fault.

    I had partially circumvents the problem by using a USB card, but this often causes freezing the computer and my laptop hard drive will not work with it.

    Any help appreciated.
    Linlithgow your sunny.
    Derek

    Hello Derek

    On this path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here, but I guess there is a contact problem. It is really not easy to say it's the problem motherboard or separate module itself. I think that it should be checked on professional way.

    The second problem is the scheme of construction. As far as I know that is not a public document and you'll be lucky if anyone has it for you. I know that you will not be satisfied by my suggestion, but I think the best way is to communicate with the technicians and talk with them. Maybe there really small problem and can be cheaply repaired.

    Good luck!
