Fabric 6248 with MDS

Hi all

We are at the stage of inter-connecting simple IBM V3700 SAN box with double FI 6248 (redundant) via unique Cisco MDS 9000 SAN Switch with single UCS 5108 chasis.

We have four blades B200 M3 in UCS 5108. The blades have no local hard disks. Our requirement is to install hyperV/Windows on IBM storage.

I did the physical connections between IBM and MDS & MDS FI 6248 and FI 6248 dual Core 6509 VSS enabled.

I don't have issues with part FI 6248 and LAN, I have doubts about FI 6248 with SAN kindly advise.

6248 FI are default mode (Host End). I need to change FI on switch mode?
I change ports Uplink FC, unified FI ports connected to the MDS are configured as storage CF?
How vNIC, vSAN (vSAN how do I need), vHBA & Service profile works to each other? can any advise please?
What steps do we need to set up in FI & MDS so that we can use SAN storage for hyperV/Windows installation?

It's my first deployment of the UCS 5108, to apologize to ask fundamental questions.

Kind regards

1. what would be the impact of multiple VSANS vs default vSAN, I plan to use default vSan in the two FI-6248 & I can't find any problem with this, please advise.

Please do not use default vsan (vsan nr or 1); best practices: create different VSAN fabric A and B; e.g. vsan 10A, vsan 20 b

2 - pool WWPN, should I create two different WWPN pool 1 for FI-6248-A & others for FI-6248-B? I have only a UCS 5108 chasis, we cannot set an unique WWPN for the two FI-6248 Pool? What is the best practice? I can't find any problem with single WWPN pool. Please advise.

Best practices: use pools of different pwwn to fabric A and B; useful for troubleshooting; in General: all pools must also encode a field id UCS (your starting with 1). just in case in the future, you have another! See attachment.

3 - incase, if I will configure 1 WWPN pool would I face any problem in mapping the area in MDS? According to my understanding there will be no problem because the area is just the initiator (Server Blade) mapping & target (IBM Storage). Keep in mind, I only Cisco MDS SAN Switch NOT redundant. Please advise.

Even with an SDM, you create a virtual double fabric with 10 and 20 VSANs. zoning is done by VSANs, zones and activation as well!

what adapter policy 4 - Creating Service profile should I choose in the menu Dynamics vNIC? I want to install Windows on Hyper V environment, but I'm not hyper V option. It has linux, VMWare, VMWare passthrough, window, default & some HyperV more but not?

You do not create dynamic vNIC! This only applies to the VM - FEX, resp. SR - IOV. Hyper-V means political adapter = window

Good luck

Walter.

  • The physical connectivity of fabric interconnect with MDS and failover please suggest

    Dear team

    We have 2 FI and 2 MDS 1 SAN

    Currenlty connectivity is

    2 physical connections of FI - has direct MDS1

    2 direct physical links to FI - B MDS2

    SDM 1 connection to the main controller of SAN

    SDM 1 connection to the secondary controller SAN

    Connection of 2 MDS to the PDC of SAN

    2 MDS to the secondary controller SAN connection

    Hope the above connectivity is good?

    We had watched

    http://www.Cisco.com/en/US/prod/Collateral/ps4159/ps6409/ps5990/white_paper_c11_586100.html (as a team always preferred to go through the standards of cisco)

    We could consolidate the FI and the primary and subordinate, even here for MDS in we need FI. or it will be through FIS?

    If not these 2 MDs they work as independent but share the configs that happens between them?

    Now this never changes (creation area) we do on MDS1 hope that will get relpicated in MDS2 through FIS?

    If MDS1 fails will be all the configuration is available on MDS2 and yet infra smooth it won't work? and vice versa?

    All the additional steps to be performed to achieve this?

    Which is the best way to do this please suggest

    Thanks and greetings

    Jose

    Hi Jose.

    Physically, your connection is good.

    On the side of the UCS, the role of "Primary" and "Subordinate" refer only to the management of the system and the device that actually performs UCS Manager.

    Each MDS device will have a separate configuration (zoning).  It's different between the 2 devices.

    The blade itself will be a connection on each side, or the "fabric SAN.

    for example

    +----+

    +---+    +-----+

    |   |    |     |

    |   |    |     |

    |   | SAN |     |

    | +->----<--+ >

    | |         |  |

    | |         |  |

    +---+-+-+    +--+--+--+

    |       |    |        |

    | MDS - A |    | MDS - B |

    +--^-^--+    +---^-^--+

    | |           | |

    +--+-+--+    +---+-+--+

    |       |    |        |

    | UCS - A |    | UCS - B |

    +--+----+    +-----+--+

    |               |

    |               |

    VSAN100 +-+ | VSAN200

    |    |     |    |

    +----><>

    | Blade |

    +-----+

    The blade will have a HBA on FabricA (VSAN100) and FabricB (VSAN200)

    Each HBA has a different WWPN, and on the Bay of SAN, each controller will have a WWPN

    So on MDS - A, the zoning will be:

    Blade WWPN

    WWPN primary storage has

    WWPN secondary storage has

    MDS - B, the zoning will be:

    Blade WWPN B

    Storage WWPN primary B

    Storage WWPN secondary B

    So the configuration is * not * synchronized between both MDS devices, but each of them have visibility to the device of vHBA of blades.  At the level of the blade, the software of multiple paths on the operating system will handle any failover.

    On the UCS, we would usually use a channel from Port to the MDS.

  • Connection of fabric interconnect with the Cisco MDS switch

    I'm new to the unified fabric and try to understand it.

    There are clients who connect fabric connects directly to switch MDS without any Nexus 5 K between the two.  If the fabric of interconnections are able to provide connectivity to the LAN and SAN Islands then why you install Nexus 5 K between two switches to add an extra jump.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Most of the clients do the following:

    -connect FI upstream for example N5k with vPC for Ethernet (IP)

    -connect FI upstream for example MDS for the classic FC

    This implies that between the blade into the chassis and FI you run FCoE, integrating CF and Ethernet on the same means of transport; then, on the FI, FC and Ethernet is disintegrated.

    The other choice would be Multihop FCoE, linking FCoE also FI and N5k and make the disagregation it.

    However, if your storage subsystem is FC and FCoE, I wouldn't recommend Multihop FCoE (I see only a minority of clients to do).

  • FI6248 FC connectivity with MDS SAN switches problem

    Hello

    We have two FI6248 in a cluster must be connected to two MDS SAN switches, using FC ports.

    However, I am not able to configure the ports on the FI.

    There is no "Set up as FC storage Port" option. I don't see what "configure as FCoE storage Port."

    I have the FC SFP (DS-SFP-FC8G - SW--> 8 Gbps Fibre Channel SW SFP +, LC) installed on the two FI6248 on the first 16 ports.

    No idea what is the problem?

    Kind regards

    The 6248UP unified ports.  The ports can be configured as Ethernet Ports or FC ports.  By default, all ports are of type Ethernet.  The ports that you configure is currently an Ethernet port.  You need config of the ports as FC ports.  Ethernet ports will be on the left side of your FI and FC ports will be on the right side.

    The following link explains how to convert a port UP Ethernet CF.  Since it's on your FI and not a plug-in, you have to restart the FI in last step.

    Hi all, I'm having a problem using the Simulator.

    I'm using Eclipse and run the 8520 with 5.0.0 sdk, my mds is 7.0 JDE

    I can connect to MDS thrugh a normal browser to localhost: 8080 and seems to works, but when I use the Simulator he has no connection at all, even when I start to say that there are no connectivity bb browser.

    Someone knows how to fix this?

    Maybe your Mobile network is disabled, go to connection to manage in your Simulator and check it out.

  • 9630 Simulator NOT work with MDS Simulator!

    Hi all

    I use the Tower Simulator (BlackBerry_Simulators_4.7.1.40_9630_Verizon) with the MDS Simulator (BlackBerry_Email_MDS_4.1.4) but I can't connect my browser to the internet at all.

    What can be the problem?

    Thanks in advance

    Edit: Follow-up "understandable" simon's note.

    There is a workaround to use a newer version than the official facilities files: use the Simulator MDS of the JDE or Eclipse installation and copy them to any machine he needs.

    The final answer seems to be not related to the MDS version. In the BB Simulator, please make sure that the network is the "1xev".

    Then it works fine.

  • Interconnection fabric 6248

    6248 does support 1 Gb copper RJ45 transceivers?  Given that each port supports either 1 or 10 Gb LAN, Native Fibre Channel and FCOE ports, which means that each port requires a transmitter/receiver and was looking at the datasheet.  There are many options for the SFP and SFP + such as 10 GB copper Twinax, MMF, SMF, MMF/SMF fiber 1Go, but did not find any manufacturer for 1 Gb RJ45 transceiver.  In addition, what type of transceiver requires for native FC or FCOE?  Did not find any manufacturer to another.

    Thank you

    Native FC: A 6248 comes with a few 8 Gbps SFP modules out of the box if used memory I think only four by interconnection?  8 Gbps additional are DS-SFP-FC8G-SW

    1 Gbps copper: GLC - T

    Note: you must manually specify the port that 1000 speed when using the GLC - T. All Ethernet ports are set at 10 Gbps and won't auto negotiate with SFP. Its quite easy - just go to the physical port ads on the material, click on the appropriate interface, click show interface and choose 1 Gbps. Quite.

    I have no experience with FCoE so I hope someone else can ring in.

  • Socket connection in the Simulator with MDS, but not on the curve

    Hello

    Working on an application using socket connections.

    SOC = (SocketConnectionEnhanced) Connector.open ("socket: / /" + address.ip_number + ":" + address.port_number + ";") deviceside = true");

    Proceed to use a DataInputStream and DataOutputStream to communicate.

    The server works, can transmit very well with the Simulator, but also another curve (not same model). (There is a small chance that deviceside = true has not been passed as a parameter when we tested on the curve, which would go through BES? This is probably still there however).

    IMHO, this means the places that the question could be one) how the code is implemented on the client phone or b) phones or their settings (have 4 curve 8530 s on the same CDMA network).

    -These phones have already activated in the last days, is there the chances that something is missing from the service book to allow socket connections? (I doubt that what I downloaded messenger ping I assume uses taken... and everything is fine).

    No authorization application that I put?

    Ideas! Please let your mind flow. Thank you!

    To all those who might find this thread after encountering the same problem:

    The issue was with the DataInputStream... available() was ALWAYS return zero, even if there are more bytes to read. This is our 8530 s curve 4 tests phones. Tried on another curve and "BOLD" and they did not have this problem.

    Use available() stopped and tried reading for much bigger than one of our packages will be (5000 bytes).

    Have some phones to test with 5.0.0.337 that they would not work with that.

    After the 5.0.0.1000 they all work perfectly.

    I read somewhere that the available() issue has to do with J2SE-> J2ME problems, something on a wrapper. This problem exists (or existed) with TSL/SSL apparently (sorry I can't find the thread I get this info, if someone really wants to see him answer and I'll get the link in the history of my browser of laptops).

    Hope this helps someone!

  • 6248 fabric interconnects FC interfaces and MDS ports license

    Hello

    I need help. I need to configure port-channel of CF between 2 x 9148 MDS and 2 x Cisco fabric interconnects. My main problem here is interfaces CF appear not on the fabric of interconnections (UCS Manager). I don't see ethernet ports. I have to turn on the unified ports or do I license for CF?

    I also connected the ds-sfp-fc8g-sw FPS but I get the error "operation status failed, reason: SFP Validation failed.

    Another thing, all 48 FC ports on switches DMS 9148 acquire the license. Aren't they supposed to come with 16 ports enabled by default?

    Any ideas?

    Hi Selby

    6248 FI unified ports, by default, all are Ethernet; so as a first step, you must configure the FC ports.

    You just need Ethernet port licenses, which are also universal.

    See, for example.

  • 8320 running Simulator 4.2.2.161 will not connect to the 4.1.4 MDS Simulator

    HI -.

    I just installed the 4.2.2.161 Simulator device 8320 and can't seem to connect to the network via the browser.  I run the 4.1.4 MDS Simulator.  I have several other simulators installed, and they can all connect fine when I run it.  When I'm trying to here, it is there for awhil, and then it times out with the message "unable to connect to the selected Mobile Data Service. Please try again later. If the problem persists please contact your administrator. »

    I noticed a strange thing is that I do not see the "arrows" flashing at the top right of the screen of the simulated device, and I see no record appears in the MDS Simulator window.

    Please notify.

    Thank you

    Mike

    Managed to get the 4.2.2.161 Simulator (8320) working on the PC with MDS 4.1.4.  The only thing I did was shut down, install the 4.2.2.163 Simulator (8310), try it (it worked), and then re-run the 4.2.2.161 Simulator (8320).  It just started working.  (If all goes well, it blocks everything works again.)

    It does not always work on another PC with MDS 4.1.0 but I guess it's just a matter of MDS version.
