Group on FI uplink ports?

• 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.

• 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.

• Connection EQL 6110 X (10G SFP +) PowerConnect 6224 10 Uplink ports

  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

  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

  I hope this helps!

• Uplink Ports Fibre Channel - UCS GUI Configuration Guide

  Hi all

  Could someone please explain which means that what follows in the Configuration of GUI of UCS guide @.

  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.

  The CF module interconnection fabric is the place where the speration of CF vs. FCoE happen, so it's where the FC frame is extracted in the Ethernet frame.

• 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.

  Kind regards

• 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?

• 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?

  FCoE Uplink vsan membership fault for any vsan not configured upstream Symptom:
  
  Fabric Vsan Membership Down fault message on FCoE uplink ports
  Severity: Major
  Code: F1083

  Hello Danny,

  Yes, it is a cosmetic issue in UCSM 2.2.1

  the question is followed by

  https://Tools.Cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/ CSCum89468

  The one that you cited ( CSCud81857 ) is specific to the rising FI FCoE in version 2.1 of UCSM.

  Hello

  You can use them for what you want.  They can connect to the virtual machines, stand-alone server, workstation, inter-switch etc... They can also be access or trunk ports.

• 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

  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:

• 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

• Vswitch group permissions management standard port with PowerCLI

  Hi all

  I have many groups of ports on standard as well as switches distributed on ESX 5.0.

  I would like to know if there is a way to manipulate the permissions of those groups of port with PowerCLI.

  Is it possible, or you can help automate this work?

  Thank you!

  The easiest are discussions on dvSwitches.

  For example

  $user = Get-VIAccount -Name "domain\lucd"$role = Get-VIRole -Name NetworkAdmin$dvPg = Get-VDPortgroup -Name "dvPortgroup"New-VIPermission -Principal $user -Role $role -Entity $dvPg
  

  The regular exchanges require the use of the API.

  For example

  $pgName = "VM Network"$pg = Get-VirtualPortGroup -Name "VM Network" | Select -First 1$net = Get-View (Get-View $pg.VMHostId).Network | where {$_.Name -eq $pgName}    $authMgr = Get-View AuthorizationManager$perm = New-Object VMware.Vim.Permission$perm.Principal = "domain\lucd"$perm.RoleId = $role.Id$perm.Propagate = $true$perm.Group = $false$authMgr.SetEntityPermissions($net.moref,$perm)
  

  Because the Get-VirtualPortgroup cmdlet does not have direct access to the corresponding object on the network , you have to find via the ESXi network property.
