• vFoglight with Cisco UCS

  Hello all,.
  We are looking for Cisco UCS for our ESX env. and I was wondering if someone was running vFoglight UCS and had problems.
  Or if someone of Quest/Vizioncore knows of any problem or future integration planned with UCS.

  Thank you
  Craig Dieck

  Craig, I know of many clients running the Cisco USC with VMware and they are very happy. There is no known issue with vFoglight perspective. VFoglight hardware monitoring currently able to extract any platform SNMP information. If you are looking for a vFoglgith to pull information from the physical ESX servers directly (not SNMP) you will need to ask for a discussion of the roadmap with your representative local of the quest.

  Inform the product manager for the platform you are using and what you want to be monitored and displayed...

• Virtualization Cisco UCS in some software

  Hello community,

  I want to ask you a few tips. My question is: If there is some software that virtualizes Cisco UCS? Freeware is the best option. Reason why I ask is because I need to create the test environment for the follow-up. IBM followed agent KV6 for Cisco UCS, which connects via HTTP to UCS Manager.

  Thank you Jan

  Take a look at the UCS platform emulator. https://communities.Cisco.com/docs/doc-66688

  In my view, that it will respond to SNMP requests and api as the normal version.

  Thank you

• Cisco UCS update for vmware

  Hi all

  I am facing a problem to upgrade my vmware environment. Is it possible to upgrade my current environment to vmware vSphere 5.0 to 5.5 or v6 vSphere? Here's my current Cisco UCS report. Cisco said that no Vmware said yes.  Someone at - he tried or who have this problem?

  Current version = UCSM B series

  The UCS = 2.1 release (2)

  Server model = B230-M2

  Adapter = CAN-M91kR UCS Virtual Interface Card

  If you need confirm the hardware and software compatibility, here is your best friend:

  http://www.Cisco.com/Web/TechDoc/UCS/interoperability/matrix/matrix.html

  With version UCSM you use and the material, you have the latest version supported is ESXi 5.1 U1, but if you upgrade to 2.1.3 you will see Esxi 5.1 U2 - 3, 5.5, 5.5 ESXi U1 - 2 and 6 Esxi ESXi.

  I bet you meant to type M81KR, so keep this in mind for a proper functioning:

  1.5.0.45 = card driver (FNIC), 2.1.2.38 (ENIC)
  Adapter Firmware = 2.1 (3)

  Let me know if you have more doubts, if not, please check the question as "answered" so future users to see that you found the information you are looking for.

• Service profile of the CISCO UCS for ESXi

  Do you need multiple boot LUN on the storage array for each host that you want to apply the service profile to? I'm just confused, let's say I have 12 blades that I want to designate as boot SAN for ESXi, y aura-t 12 profiles of separate service for each of them, and will need me 12 different LUNS on our storage? I am new to this and I just want to make it as clean as possible! Any help is appreciated.

  Hi Justin,

  You can have the same LUN ID for multiple service profiles, as well as the same target ID. However, your initiators will be different and you will need to configure the zoning on your switch upstream if you use the end host mode.

  Here is a good guide, review the basics and how to put in place.

• Changes in prices for the contracts of Support for Cisco IDS/IPS

  Nice day

  My boss asked me if there is no value added regarding Cisco's recent move to charge separately for hardware and software support for IDS/IPS product line.

  Other than what is obvious (need software support for updates of signature, need of material support in case something breaks), I'm having a hard time to provide a response.

  Can anyone suggest what is the increased value, other than annual recurrent costs more we get as a result of this change of license?

  Also, was there any release press or other notice to the client about this change?

  I am at a loss...

  Alex Arndt

  Alex,

  Cut through the spin and the hype... the software support allows us to finance a development team dedicated to signature, which has improved our signature rejection rates and response times. In addition, it is allowing us to expand our coverage to keep IDS 4.1 to get the support of the signature. It is contrary to our previous policy which would have seen 4.1 updates to signature cut shortly after 5.0 released.

  A side effect of this is that our development team is now free to focus on the development of the feature, and you will see more updates, more often.

  Can't comment on press releases and others, they make your head spin my ;)

• Cisco UCS-C210 M1 accredited for Unified Communications server

  Hello:

  Our VAR tells us that HP and Cisco are splitting up.  We are an HP store today and 7800-H series MCS routers were a perfect fit.  Our VAR tells us now that he must go with the renamed IBM systems.  BUT I would avoid the IBM servers.  And attractive servers Cisco.  But I have been unable to determine if the Cisco UCS-C210 M1 server is certified for various applications of Unified Communications (Manager of Communications, unity, Cisco Emergency Responder, ICM, CVP, etc.).

  Has anyone heard of Communications deployments unified on the hardware of the UCS?

  Thank you

  Ken

  UCS blades are being qualified for management of the applications of the CPU now. The qualification of rack mount server is expected, specifically the C210 later this summar I think.

• vSphere 5.1 on Cisco UCS

  Hello

  I just want to check is one have tried to install VMware vSphere 5.1 on Cisco UCS blades? I was fine that some items and come to know that if you want to install vSphere 5.1, you have to first upgrade the firmware 2.0 (4A or 4B), and only then you can install / upgrade the 5.1 vSphere

  If anyone has a sine qua non for the installation of vSphere 5.1 on B200M2 & B200M3 to share the same

  Hello Amit,

  The UCS SW/HW interoperability tool should answer your questions.  5.1 ESXi is supported of the UCS 2.0 (4) and later versions.  Install the OS, and then update the drivers enic & fnic from the ISO driver available on cisco.com

• Need help on Cisco UCS Certification

  Hi all

  I need your help.

  I intend to take the certification Cisco UCS. Please help me on this I am confused that you take as it is DCUCI or guide DCUCD please if it is DCUCI how to start and if DCUCD how to start.

  Currently working on vmware support and little UCS. I am after reading docs, and communities through videos from train signal UCS.

  Can some expert guide please, how further will be a great help

  Thanks in advance

  Vincent

  Vincent,

  Since how long did you ask? I want to mention that CCNA/P DC was relesed in November, before a review as DCUCI was a full certification and it is now part of the CCNP instead.

  CCNA has 2 reviews, DCICN & DCICT

  I couldn't find a link where it is specifically stated that you must follow a specific order, for example here:

  http://www.Cisco.com/Web/learning/certifications/specialist/DC/uc_support.html you can find specialized support requirements are:

  642-999 DCUCI (one of the basic tests I mentioned) & DCUCT 642-035 (one of the troubleshooting tests I mentioned as well)

  For CCNA, there is no choice, only 2 exams available, it does not matter for CCNP, but 4 you access CCNP, different combinations will give Add tax certifications.

  However, keeping in mind the names of examinations, which can give you an idea of what you want to learn first:

  DCUCI: implementation of Unified Computing DC

  DCUFI: implementation of DC Unified Fabric

  DCUFD: Data Center Unified Fabric Solutions Design

  DCUCD: Data Center Unified Computing Systems Design

  DCUFT: Troubleshooting Cisco Unified Fabric data center

  DCUCT: Troubleshooting Cisco Unified Computing data center

  I hope this helps clarify.

• How to read the papers of ucs tech support

  Hi team

  Can you please tell me how to read the newspapers of ucs tech support to find out hardware problems

  Greetings.

  Your question is probably something that is difficult to address in this format.

  Hardware and firmware is so rapidly changing, so are the various capabilities of diagnosis (and how, when, where they write to newspapers).  I think that it would be virtually impossible to maintain a full guide updated content of tech support file and how to interpret them.

  That being said, there are some more frequent for both blade/UCSM and stand alone C series servers such as SALT that connects usually record the major mistakes such as chess DIMM, HD failures, etc.

  There are general troubleshooting guides such as http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/ts/guide/UCSTroubleshooting/UCSTroubleshooting_chapter_0111.html

  There are also courses that correspond to the review DCUCT 642 - 035 http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/training-events/training-certifications/exams/current-list/dcuct.html entering some details by looking at newspapers, among other things.

  Is there some hardware problems that you try searching?  You have some sort of polling app that parses the files you are trying to Setup alerts for, etc.?

  Thank you

• Cisco UCS C240M4 Esxi installation version 5.0 cisco custom image do not start

  Hi all

  We are trying to install ESXi 5.0 on Cisco UCS C240M4 server and during loading of the VMware purple screen with the following error

  Bora/vmkernel/hardware/apic.c:1913 and bora/vmkernel/hardware/apic.c:1915 NOT_IMPLEMENTED NOT_IMPLEMENTED.

  Greetings.

  ESXi 5.1 U2 is the first supported by Cisco for the C240M4. See matrix interop

  I suspect that older versions 5.0 and earlier versions will have problems with the latest chipsets, as well as the lack of 12 GB storage controller drivers.

  You will want to check the interop matrix for which OS versions are supported as well as different levels of driver for the network cards, storage, etc.

  Thank you

  Kirk...
