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.

Support stand not provided my replacement WRT-ngn350 - need help with Cisco contact
Hello!
I'm starting to feel like Michael Douglas in the movie Falling Down and need help.
History:
Finally, I sent to my bad WRT-ngn350 router and when I got the replacement of all but the plastic leg support has been included. I want to have my router stand up to save desktop space, but now I have no foot."OK, should not be difficult to get Linksys to send me the missing foot stand" was my thought. Now, I called the online RMA and also emailed them and I get a similar response as Michael Douglas took with a smile
I hear that I can't get the part because it is not on the list the content of the product. As this is * my * problem. I want the part and do not care if it's on a list or not. It is the part on the router in the image. I even asked the representative of Linksys to Google a little bit WRT-ngn350 and there are foot stands on almost all of the images and it is certainly included in the box. I was told that I could go nowhere elsewhere to help with that. I really some doubt but fail to find a channel of Linksys, which may be able to help.
If some representative of Linksys sees this please help me!
Thanks, Niklas
RMA XXXXX - lack of router support/foot
(Mod Note: under the guidance of the compliance of the directive.) E-mail deleted conversation.)
SOLVED!
The representative of Linksys has managed to dig a booth for me to a warehouse. It is mentioned that it is a unique thing because some parts should be sent. Don't forget to remove the stand and send only: router, power and eventually cable NW.
Thanks to Linksys representative.

Hello
I am trying to configure a B420 in our lab, but just discovered 6324 F / I can't stand B420s in the configuration of the UCS Mini. I've read the documentation, and it was not clear to me at the time of the order. It is only when I put together all the components (B420, 5108AC2, 6324FI) I found that it does not recognize the adapter (ie the B420) from the GUI of UCS - M. It's only later that I discovered on the incompatibility of the CCIE training online documentation.
"Interconnecting cisco UCS 6324 fabric sheet
A word of warning on the blade holder, or lack - the new FI will not support anything, except for the B200 M3 blades, so if the four sockets B420 blades are on your shopping list, then consider using the full features of FI.
Support for the new FI up to 15 servers (8 servers blade set B in a single new revision UCS 5108 chassis and up to 7 connection direct rack servers C C220/240 M3 series, with support of function after his release for the interconnection of a second chassis UCS 5108). »
So now instead of rushing to buy new equipment, I would make sure that I understand well once and for all. The questions I have are:
(1) a B420 will work in a chassis 5108 AC2? I don't find anything in the documentation saying it wouldn't but now I have my doubts.
(2) if so, what other equipment do I need to run (FEX, F / I a, etc.)?
All I'm looking for right now is to get the server loaded with linux. Once I get the job I'll spend more and better.
Thank you
Dan
Great, your installation will work fine then.

Hi Adrien,.
To be able to accomplish this together the local drive to 'any Configuration' policy this way UCSM won't overwrite the current raid on the server configuration.

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.

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 DieckCraig, 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...

Cisco UCS C210 M2: PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
Hello
I'm working on Cisco UCS C210 M2 servers. I got 10 146 GB SAS HD with LSI MegaRAID Raid Controller. I did run the Raid Controller and choose RAID6. After that I installed ESXi and it said to reboot the server. Now, when I restart the server I get the following error message:
PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
PXE - M0F: Exit Boradcom PXE ROM
Restart, and then select proper boot service
or Insert Boot Media in some boot device and press a key
Any suggestions how I can solve this problem.
Thank you.
You will need to go into the Bios of the controller LSI MegaRaid (Ctrl + H) and select the option of virtual drives on the left. When the virtual command window opens, you must select the drive (Raid Volume) on which you want your drive master boot and underneath there will be an option to set as your boot device. Apply and save.

Cisco ucs with VMware 5 auto deploy
Hello
In our lab, I test with 5 VMware and Cisco UCS. We run UCSM 2.0 (1 m). I am now to test the auto hand deploy. I have auto configuration to deploy in VMware and it works (first of all, I had some problems with DHCP on windows which is solved in version 2.0 of UCSM (q)). vSphere gets deployed to the blade. When the blade (vShpere) wants to connect to vCenter I get an error of vCenter has enough licesing for this action. I loaded a lot of low-income VMware. When I create a virtual machine, it starts perfectly and apears in vCenter.
I search on the internet for people who have the problem of the simailer, but could not find.
Some body the same problem our help me?
Thanks in advance,
Robin
Robin,
This looks more like a VC related question (UCS) platform. UCS has no effect on the functionality of licenses of the VC.
If the host does not connect to the CR, how are you VMs to "start perfectly and appear in vCenter?
Kind regards

first time with cisco ucs c220 m4, check my photos
You have a VD 11TB.
Only way to start on this is by using UEFI.
You need to activate UEFI in the boot order.
Anything over 2 TB and more 4 K sector size readers require the UEFI boot option.
BIOS will not process the VDs when manages UEFI.
Kirk...
Summary for those who seek a similar question:
- Client a large VD created, 11TB
- 2 TB and more, 4K sector drives, require boot UEFI + GPT, cannot use the legacy/MBR
- To set startup to local HD option, that referenced the PCI-E Slot, the raid controller was in (HBA slot in this case)
- UEFI mode, can't score a VD as "bootable disk / startup.
- You will see not the VD/raid controller appear in the 'real' boot order during the OS install.
- Once the installation of the OS compatible UEFI is made, it will create a UEFI boot to the operating system "Windows Boot Manager" entry in our case.
- After the next reboot, if you check your boot order, you should see this UEFI OS boot manager entry.

Need help to set up voice VLAN in SG300
Hello
I spent too much time on it now and need help. I'm trying to set up a voice switch VLAN on a SG300 - 28 p. I need to charge a phone Cisco 7965 connected to a port on SG300 - 28 p to use VLAN 100, and a workstation connected to the phone to use Cisco 7965 on VLAN 101 by SG300 - 28 p. In the common Cisco IOS switches, this task is configured as follows:
interface gi25
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 101
switchport voice vlan 100
Trying to achieve this scenario with a Cisco SG300 switch turns into a nightmare. You will have to deal with a Dynamic of VLAN voice Auto Voice VLAN mode. Then, you must have a configured trigger and activated Automatic Smartport . I tried to do this in CLI nothing helps. Cisco 7965 receives an IP address of the access VLAN on Gi15 interface, which is 101 VLAN. I need to receive an address IP of the VLAN 100.
The current configuration under Gi15 interface is as follows:
interface gigabitethernet15
activate the storm control
broadcast storm control level kbit/s 10
Storm-control include multicast
port security throw trap 60
maximum port security by 10 points
port security mode max-addresses
spanning tree portfast
LLDP-med disable
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 101
! next order is internal
macro auto smartport dynamic_type unknown $native_vlan 101 $voice_vlan 100
Now, I don't know how the macro auto smartport dynamic_type unknown $native_vlan 101 $voice_vlan 100 command in the config, and I do not know how to remove it.
When I try to enter the command macro auto smartport type ip_phone_desktop under Gi15 interface, I get the following error message:
The $voice_vlan macro setting is not configurable by the user
It seems that the auto attendant smartport macro ip_phone_desktop can not apply the setting $voice_vlan with a value of 100. In fact, I explicitly does not use this parameter to everything in the order of macro auto smartport type ip_phone_desktop ; However, the SG300 switch knows that the voice VLAN VLAN 100, and he's trying to use this VLAN ID as the value of the $voice_vlan parameter, the macro fails.
I tried statically configure the voice VLAN on the switch SG300 using the command id of the vlan 100 voice , but I couldn't get the ip_phone_desktop macro to configure interface Gi15 correctly. Then, I removed the command id of the vlan 100 voice and obtained SG300 to learn his voice VLAN ID of UC560 connected to the SG300 through a trunk port based on the port configuration (connected to SG300) for the trunk of the next UC560:
switchport trunk vlan 101 native
switchport mode trunk
switchport voice vlan 100
Cisco-switch macro description
This is the command switchport voice vlan 100 who announces to SG300 via CDP VLAN 100 is a voice VLAN. When I run the command show vlan local VoIP on the SG300, I get the following result:
VLAN ID - VPT DSCP Source MAC address Interface
1 5 46 default ---- ---
* 100 CDP e0:5f:b9:xx:yy:zz gi28
Thus, it is clear that the SG300 receives information from UC560 via CDP in port Gi28 VLAN 100 is the voice VLAN. However, I can not always apply the ip_phone_desktop macro to SG300 Gi15 interface.
Also, I tried to set up vState ofoithis vlan auto-déclenché as well as the commands in global configuration State vlan automatic voice activated mode. Or setting changes anything view voice VLAN announced at Cisco 7965 where Cisco 7965 continues to use VLAN101 (access the VLAN assigned to the interface Gi15).
Hello telecastle,
The Macro just get in the way most of the time. A default state on the switch a user will set the id of the vlan voice with orders
(config) #voice vlan id 100
* This will create the vlan 100
VLAN, VoIP? * You can use to change your defaults for dscp and cos a long with all the other settings.
State of vlan (config) enabled automatic #voice
(config) #interface rank fa1-24
(config-if-range) #switchport trunk vlan 101 native
trunk (config-if-range) #switchport allowed vlan add 100
* This function will define the vlan native on the trunk to 101 for the data port and vlan tagged will be 101 for the voice.
CDP is enabled automatically and should learn the features of the phone and get on the phone to the vlan 101 on this port.
CDP of the UC should automatically fill in the switch of the SG. You may need to upgrade the switch to the latest firmware however. Also make sure that the DHCP server for the voice if the CPU must be configured accordingly.
Let me know if this helps.

NAT is your problem, IE.
NAT (inside) 0-list of access inside_outbound_nat0_acl
NAT (inside) 0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0 0presumanly first NAT is fot your good VPN that acl looks a little funny, what exactly are you doing with that?
The second NAT is the real problem but for outgoing internet access - the NAT statement, you said not NAT one of your addresses 10.10.10.x which is a problem as 10.x.x.x address is not routable on the Internet.
You must change this setting IE. -
(1) remove the second NAT statement IE. "no nat (inside) 0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0.
(2) add a new statement of NAT - ' nat (inside) 1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0.
(3) add a corresponding statement global - global (outside) 1 interface.
This will be PAT all your 10.10.10.x to external IP addresses.
Apologies, but these are some CLI commands that I don't use PDM.

Need help to see an alarm for an AP story/event
I need help to see an alarm last occurred about two months ago, here's the information:
I had a point to access Cisco 1524 down has a location around the week of April 15. This access point is in a very remote place and is very rarely used so I did not have to examine the problem until about a month later. It turns out that the Cat5 cable was damaged in an act of vandalism and the AP returned to the top after I solved the problem of cable.
An investigation is underway and I wish I could say the detective the exact moment wherever the AP first reported down to the WCS. I know that the alarm was there as I just never took the time to record the date and time.
When I go to the alarms it go far enough to see when this happened. Is - this information stored anywhere so I can pull a report and see the date and time of the AP are down? I have searched and searched the boat launch of the report, but for the life of me, I can't find this information.
I have the version 6.0.132.0 of the WCS.
Thanks for any help that can be provided.
Bucky
Bucky,
WCS logs have a finite number of alarms, they can store. If the event is more listed, then he was in and there is no way to recover this message alarm to see exactly when it was generated.
Sorry...

How does them VLANS in Cisco UCS
Hi guys,.
I wanted to help better understand the notion VLANS in Cisco UCS.
I ask this because even if we create a VLAN in UCSM but where can I define which port should apply this VLAN?
Is it possible that this can be done by using the user interface or api XML?
Thank you
Hello
All the VLANS created will be assigned to the uplink ports. There is no option to have on the same fabric of interconnection of VLANs on an uplink and other VLANs on another. As on the side of the blade, you choose what VLAN is assigned to a blade when you create the vNIC.
Kind regards
