• Monitoring of virtual machines running on the UCS blades

  We are in the process of migration of servers HP rack to Cisco UCS blades. I have 4 blades UCS running ESXi and dΘmarrez from SAN. We have configured in HP SIM HP servers to monitor hardware issues and the status of the VM. Now Let's watch the material of the UCS in UCS Manager, but I still need to monitor the status of virtual machines. I looked at existing Solarwinds NPM we have all our ESXi HP servers to Solarwinds. What I've discovered, is that we cannot add the individual to NPM ESXi blades, because we can not configure SNMP (or we).

  Which means that migrate us from HP servers for UCS blades, we lose the ability to monitor the State of the CPU and VM.

  How people monitor their virtual machines in an environment of UCS?

  Thank you.

  We monitor our UCS ESXi 5 with SNMP hosts and use Solarwinds NPM.  It works well.  These are the commands that we send through our VMA (free VMware) server to a new host.

  vicfg-snmp - root server - username - password it

  vicfg-snmp - root server - username - password you @162.

  vicfg-snmp - root server - username - password e

  There's probably a way to do it on the console of the host, but I don't know what it could be.

• The UCS Central + Disjoint layer 2

  We would like to migrate to use UCS Manager 5 cloves separated the Central use of UCS.  We are looking for the best way to set up a VLAN global everything using an infrastructure Disjoint Layer 2.  It seems I would have to create across the world and assign them to a profile in a BASKET for them to get pushed down to this POD, and then in the UCS Manager I would have to get in the VIRTUAL LAN Manager to assign the VLAN for the uplinks appropriate.  Is there a way that we can implement the Manager of vlan in Central UCS or maybe a way to push the VLAN down to the PODS at the beginning then do not remember to do only after the VLAN has been assigned to a profile?

  Hi Jason

  Check https://communities.cisco.com/docs/DOC-35264

  1.3.1a release has the following features:

• Expansion of the files is at 27% and then my screen turns off? : s

  Hi all, I read the other thread on this subject on the website, but as usual the problem I have is simply a little more boring, I would like to re-Morphix vista compeltely but in order to do so I obviously need to go through this process. As the title says, when he reached 27% on the expansion of the files after the first reboot, it goes no further, then after awhile my screen turns off. IM typing this text from my laptop at the moment in the hope that all of a sudden my screen will restart and it will continue, but I doubt it very much.

  I understand more information may be needed to help me then please just ask. Thank you.

  P.s. This problem during one accurs installation from the cd rather than boot. When I try to boot from the drive and runing installing it, my screen turns off agan normally just after entering the cdkey for vista.

  I have no idea why this is happening, but if I have the sort I would be very very happy :)

  EDIT: A little later and the screen is back on, sound saying "Please wait a moment while windows prepares to start for the first time" then after that, there are a lot of points and moe points keep coming (etc.) I hope it's a good thing: S

• What kind of PDU like people for the UCS?

  I intend to deploy a UCS in the next month.  It seems that every UCS chassis requires four containers of L6 - 20.

  And we get two chassis.  While I was trying to get a couple of Pulizzi as ounces below.  Anyone prefers another

  type for better management or other reasons?  Also - L6 - 20 power is only option for the UCS?  Thank you.

  http://powerquality.Eaton.com/ePDU-LPC208-2p.aspx?CX=3

  There is a 110 plug in a PDU specializes in the basket.  Check with your Cisco representative for the part number - it works fine.  We have deployed about 100 chassis and it worked very well.

• The review of the UCS and VCP

  Hi all

  I do not have a secure Channel and yet so I will at least make the test of the UCS?

  Is-Cisco has a system as they will allow us to test of the UCS, but they will not give us unless we are SECURE.

  Thank you

  Ismail

  Hi Ismail

  You can always take the test and still qualify as a Cisco Unified Computing Technology Specialist of the design and a Cisco Unified Computing Technology Support Specialist without a PCV.

  But if you're after Cisco Data Center Unified Computing Support Specialist, etc. then yes VCP is always a pre - req (I heard that there will be rejected in favour of a managed Cisco equivalent, but who is without merit)

  Unfortunatley (that I found) just passing examination VCP wasn't enough, but the VMware course is also a mandatory requirement for VCP VMware.

  Good luck with it.

• Replace the UCS - b2xx HARD drive

  We have a UCS with blades B200.

  One of the HARD drive led STATIC amber, (it is a HARD drive failure according to the documentation), but UCS Manager did no show any alert.

  My first question is... I see not awake in the UCS Manager? I have to turn on any kind of follow-up to the HARD drive?

  The HARD drive was reflected with RAID 1, then why has decided to install a replacement.

  We extracted the defective HARD drive and inserted a new (because they are Hot Swap we did with the server on).

  But now the UCS Manager is showing the HARD drive as a disc UNKNOWN, so he did not recognize it

  We rebooted the server with no luck.

  What should I do any kind of procedure of the UCS to recognize the new drive and rebuild the RAID 1 mirror?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Which firmware version are you running?

  In versions prior to 2.0, we had has very little followed HDD and reports. The status UNKNOWN to the driver after installing a new is also due to a bug known in versions 1.4 or previous.

  If you see the normal LEDs on the disc, then you know that the re - build is finished, you can also restart the blade and enter the optional ROM of LSI, and check the status of the drivers.

• New installation fails during the expansion of the files Windows 7 Pro

  Recently, I built a new computer after my old man died. I installed Windows 7 Pro, I had on the old system. Everything worked well for about a month. Then I started having various errors, some suggesting a memory error. I ran several times using the most comprehensive parameters of memtest and no problem not found. Further inspection, I discovered that a critical system update was applied just before that the problems started. I decided to roll back the change. It does not solve the problem. I tried to do a system repair. That did not work. She only had basic as IE11 and Skype applications. I had also installed the utilities for the motherboard and graphics card. So, I decided to do a clean install. Each time, it fails during the expansion of the files. The error message is, "Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupted or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. "Error code: 0 x 80070570." He gets up to 30% each time. I tried to install for a V300 Kingston SSD (120GB). I also tried another SATA II HDD (750 GB) with the same problems. I downloaded a new ISO and tried to install from that. Yet once, it is not at the same point. I noticed that whenever it creates a partition system reserved 100 MB which is almost full. At one point, I got a message saying that there are about 8 000 MB of free space. (I think that was all trying to manually unzip the files by a tip I found online). I found several suggestions for similar problems, but the solutions proposed did not help. I'm sure it will be a simple solution, but I'm out of ideas. Any help would be appreciated.

  If Memtest86 fails then you need to get into the BIOS and set the RAM timing.  Memtest86 + displays the calendar then use the value displayed and compare to the real specs for your memory.  Also, you may need to increase the voltage to the RAM (in BIOS) place a small amount.

  As regards the function of Intel EIST, let her enabled for now. Then enable it after installing Windows successfully.

  Disconnect any other (additional) internal hard drives and external USB devices.
  Look for any loose hard drive power or cables SATA, graphics card or other power cables.

  First run Memtest86 +:
  It runs from a floppy disk or CD and should eliminate or confirm if one or more of your memory
  sticks are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.
  Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours (at least 3 full passes), so no errors at that time then your ram is OK.

• Manager of the UCS of 1.2 update (1 d) to 1.3 (1o)

  I use the instructions in the UCSM_GUI_Configuration_Guide_1_3_1.pdf to upgrade my equipment ucs.  There are several questions and I had.

  (1) it says to update the firmware for the IOM and wait until you activate the firmware on the fabric of interconnections that will restart the interconnection fabric and IOM, date on which IOM will be updated.  I did the firmware was not updated on IOM.  The backup version still shows 1.3 (1o) and the current version is 1.3 (1 c) IOM for, even if the fabric of interconnections successfully updated.  When I try to manually activate the firmware on the IOM, I get error combined modification.  The compatibility check failed. What is this?

  (2) I have treid activating the UCS Manager according to page 141 of the guide of version 1.2 (1 d) 1.3 (1o) and I find failed to start activation.  The check of the compatibiity failed. 

  (3) I tried to update the individual servers of 1.2 interface cards (1 d) to 1.3 (1o) and I will meet with the same errors of compatibility check.

  This is the first time I went through and tried to update the firmware on my new box of UCS.  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  During the activation of the new firmware, you must check the box to ignore the compatibility check.

• Can I see faults offset and deleted in the UCS Manager?

  Is there a way to see the flaws that have been deleted in the UCS Manager and deleted once the retention period has expired?

  No, unless you use an external syslog server.  It is the only way to maintain indefinitely offset flaws.

• Helps the clarification on the ports of the UCS C220

  Hi guys New computer unified (and the servers / virtualization in general to be honest!) Sorry for stupid questions, I guess. I tried to read as much as I can but still a little fuzzy on a few things.

  At the back of the UCS C220 I have, there is a M, 1 LAN, LAN 2 port, and then a 4 ports ethernet card. What I guessed was:

  M's management for MMIC port

  LAN 1 and 2 were for ESXi (grouping of NETWORK cards?)

  So do not know what is the purpose of the ethernet card 4 ports as well?

  In addition, the MMIC, you have the option for dedicated/shared LOM etc and I don't really understand the differences. I guessed who dedicates meant that MMIC used the port of M and LOM shared meant she could use other LAN ports? Furthermore, making MMIC and ESXi had to be on separate subnets?

  Sorry for stupid questions, but once I have clearly in my head I think it will be easy for me,

  Thank you

  Hello

  If I have CIMC running in "Shared LOM" then it means I can have 1 cable connected from one of the LOM ports and can access both the CIMC and ESXi on a single cable without the need for the management cable to be connected?
  

  Yes, the only cable connected to the LOM port will give access to interface MMIC and ESXi.

  In this case the CIMC and ESXi can also be on the same subnet without problems? (Assuming switch with single vlan)
  

  They can be in the same subnet and won't cause problems

• The upgrade of the plant of the UCS 1.0(1a) to 1.1(1b)

  I followed the steps described by Cisco in the UCS Central upgrade and installation guide:

  Step 1	If necessary, restart the virtual machine and change the boot options to boot from the CD-ROM.
  Step 2	Mount the ISO Cisco UCS Central image with the virtual CD/DVD drive.
  Step 3	In the Central Installation of Cisco UCS menu on the ISO image, choose upgrade existing Cisco UCS Central.
  Step 4	Once the upgrade is complete, of the Cisco UCS Central ISO image from the virtual CD/DVD drive.
  Step 5	Restart the Cisco UCS Central VM.

  However after having mounted the ISO of the UCS Central and reloading image of the virtual machine, I never see the UCS just the standard newspaper central installation menu on the screen.

  Anyone got through UCS Central 1.0(1a) to the 1.1(1b)?

  Hi Paul,.

  Yes, the above process works very well. Have you changed the boot order to make sure that it starts on the CD/DVD?

  Also can ensure that the uploaded image is correct.

• The UCS firmware update

  Hi all

  What would be the recommended way to upgrade the firmware on a current environment UCS run 1.4.3x?

  wouldn't be better to go from 1.4.3x to 2.0 and 2.1.

  or go straight from 1.4.3x to 2.1 x?

  Thank you

  Kass

  Kass,

  Since you're currently at 1.4, you can directly pass to 2.1 (2) - last version if you wish.  This process can be facilitated in particular by using the function Auto Install of 2.1 Firmware.

  Review the complete upgrade procedure, but essentially you first download the new 2.1 (2) 'A' and 'B' your system UCS beams, then activate the image of the UCS Manager first to the new version 2.1 (2).  After restarting UCSM you can use the feature of Firmware Auto Installer to upgrade the rest of the Infrastructure (IOM and FIs) and then the firmware of server endpoints.

  Kind regards

  Robert
