New installation UCS 5108

Hello

In a new installation. For the creation of service profile

I have to ask the customer what operating system and the application will be installed on each server

Then there is for each operating system and application best practices on Cisco?

Or I will prepare profiles of service with startup recommended policies and that's all?

Thank you

Before you install any OS, you must confirm that it is supported based on the hardware and software you have configured:

Make sure you also check driver versions and make sure they are taken care of! :)

  • Configuring the Cisco UCS 5108 ports

    Hi all

    I'm new in the world of the Cisco UCS server and am setting up Cisco UCS 5108 blade server. The server has two Cisco UCS 6324 interconnections fabric I did the initial Setup on and I try to configure the ports for the blades. Looking through the various articles and tutorials after setting global policies, I see the whole world establishment of uplink and server ports. What I read the uplink ports are plugged directly into the switches (I work with two cisco nexus switches), and server ports are used to connect to the chassis.

    I wonder once the configured ports server what exactly are supposed to connect to? I assumed they would also connect to the switch nexus with the uplink ports. However, every time I set up the server ports and plug them in, the switch doesn't seem to have flooded and we lose all connectivity. If I unplug, the connection is restored almost immediately.

    The current configuration, that I work with is two ports uplink on each fabric interconnect (4 2 total in each switch of nexus), two server ports on each (4 2 total, in every nexus switch). The only other element connected to the nexus switches is a SAINT who will be configured as a boot and storage of the UCS 5108.

    Looks like you have a Mini UCS (6324), with 4-port 10 GB (each FI/IOM) with port QSFP 40 GB that can provide network connectivity linking rising, or if configured as a server port, could be used to connect to a server in a rack compatible Cisco UCS, or connect to a 5108 additional with IOM 2204XP chassis.  The blades installed in your initial 5108 chassis 6324 FI/IOM of housing have internal connectivity to the FIs / IOM without the need to configure ports 'server'...

    Please take a look at some of the visuals in the datasheet below.

    http://www.Cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/servers-unified-computing/UCS-6300-series-fabric-interconnects/datasheet-C78-732207.html

    Unified ports can also be configured as a FC ports for connectivity of FC switch upstream or directly related to CF Storage processors.

    After having watched the datasheet, let me know if you have any other questions, and I'll try to address them.

    You'll not need actually configure ports such as ports 'server' unless you connect servers in a rack.

    Please configure any ethernet SFP type connected to your switches nexus upstream as 'network' uplinks.  I guess that you don't plan on a disjoint config layer 2 (where each FI has several sets of uplinks will different devices upstream, or the same device with different VLANS allowed on each link).    If you are, we can have a separate thread about how you need to configure that.

    Thank you

  • Upgrade or new installation 5.0-> 5.5

    Hi all


    We expect an improvement in our environment vSphere/UCS/SRM 5.0 to 5.5.

    Here's a matrix of current versions and the target.

    With the dependencies of the heart rate and SRM someone of experience with the upgrade path. (we understand that Heartbeat is be what EOL d with VMware)

    Are there advantages or disadvantages to do a new installation and migration of the ESXi hosts in this new environment?

    Thank you all.

    There is a general link for 5.x, which is almost the same, but for 5. versions of x .

    Deployment modules associated with vCenter as Auto, collector bucket etc. can be improved with vCenter. You will have to worry about only the most important.

    In any case, you must start with UCS. still, it is not disruptive. Make sure you have checked all connections before proceeding. If the failover does not occur at each stage (i.e. NIC FIS) you will find yourself in trouble and also the environment will go down.

  • Email records retrieved from a drive Thunderbird crashed. You want to import into my new installation.

    Tried to copy/paste the files recovered in profiles/Mail/Local folders in my new installation, but without success. I can't find an option to import messages from a folder. Any ideas? Thank you!

    Re: tried to copy/paste the files recovered

    Are you sure you are copy/paste the correct data?
    Emails are stored in files mbox, no records.
    MBOX files don't have any extension.

    As an example, in the image below, it states:

    • Inbox (mbox file containing the e-mail)
    • Inbox.MSF (indexing file - no emails)
    • Inbox.SBD (if created subfolders of Inbox. This folder contains more than mbox and indexing of files)

    Note:
    Thunderbird should be closed when copy paste or do anything in profile files.

    There is also an add-on which is pretty good.
    Download downloads folder or desktop.
    https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Thunderbird/addon/ImportExportTools/

    Install:
    Tools > Addons or Menu icon > Addons
    Click the gear icon and select "install the addon from file".
    Locate the downloaded xpi file and click Open
    You may have to restart Thunderbird.

    Right click on "local folders".
    Select "Importexporttool" > "import a mbox file".
    Select: "import directly one or more mbox files" and click OK
    Find the mbox files, and then click Open.

  • Link new installation of thunderbird with the old profile.

    I created a new profile and stored on an external drive, there is a certain messages, I just had to reinstall win7 and do not know how to link a new installation of thunderbird with my old profile. Seems fair to get a host of issues that do nothing.

    Look at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_how-to-find-your-profile and then go to the directory corresponding to your external drive to find your old * *.default file.
    Copy your old profile to the directory where your current profile is stored.
    See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-multiple-profiles to switch to your old GOLD "profiles.ini" edit profile to change the 'path' in the name of your old profile.
    Restart Thunderbird.

  • Firefox opens, then is unresponsive. Cannot reset. New installation doesn't fix it. Mac OS x

    I was browsing the internet with Firefox when it froze, so I force quit. I open it, but immediately, it freezes / does the thing of mouse wheel that turns indefinitely, so I have to force quit it again.

    I tried restarting and closing of my Mac. Then, I tried to reset Firefox, but it does not. I tried Safe Mode, but it's always immediately the cursor of the spinning wheel. So I tried to do a fresh reinstall several times. But it still keeps having the same problem.

    Help!

    Ed. I don't think it could be a problem with my Add ons, because I used the same for years and never had this problem.

    One thing I've changed a few days ago is usually I leave my Firefox history store things for centuries, but I thought I'd release RAM by changing these settings. I can't remember which, however, I changed the settings may have changed something then it deletes history and and something else after the closure of each session.

    It seems that I found a solution to my problem!

    I went in "name of user/Library/Application Support /...» "and deleted the folder of Firefox with the settings of the profile, as it seemed to be the settings I changed what triggered the problem beforehand.

    I then with the sacking of the application and downloads of .dmg and remake a new installation. Firefox is now open and work normally for me. (However, I do not know why change my history in the first place settings, causing the problem.)

    Please NOTE: If someone else tries this, if you delete the folder, you will lose all your saved bookmarks. There is probably a folder in profiles that you can copy and save to preserve your bookmarks, but I don't know who it is.

  • New installation of Xubuntu w / Firefox on my PC. Everything works VERY slowly, even typing and cursor movement. Is - fixable?

    With this new installation of Xubuntu (which is supposed to be quick enough) with Firefox included, all transactions processed through the browser are incredibly slow: typing, go to other pages or Web sites; move the cursor is painfully slow, and sticky with time delayed reaction and excessive results. I have the maximum encryption and security; This could be the problem? Note: I noticed that type in this window is normal...? E-mail is correct, also.

    Thank you very much
    Bob

    Glad your problem is solved itself, and I see that you have also your problem another (1012424/questions/1012424). Don't forget to update Firefox, it should be 31 Firefox now or if Xubuntu is a bit behind perhaps still Fx30 but certainly not Fx28.

    why would they include an unsupported version of Firefox in the same package with the newest version of an operating system?

    Ubuntu and Xubuntu major versions come out every six months. Firefox updates every six weeks. Probably the first thing to do after you have installed a new version of X / Ubuntu is updated the software, also immediately before the upgrade to the next Xubuntu.

    Versions of Firefox & Ubuntu/Xubuntu

    I use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS for most. 14.04 is also LTS, so you have to stay on that instead of update in due course to 14.10

    I use their distro Canon of construction of Firefox since their deposit of Aurora. Who is behind Mozilla versions datewise (I also installed mozilla versions), but it uses the package manager, so no need for manual updates of Firefox. You probably don't want or need to do that, but if you do not want to install this as a browser extra is available for 12.04 & 14.04 of

    Synaptic (graphical APT front-end server) package manager is therefore longer in default distributions of Ubuntu/Xubuntu, you could add Synaptic (included in gDebi in Xubuntu 12.04) otherwise use the "Software Center" to ensure that everything is kept up-to-date

    I know that some earlier versions of Ubuntu to (less LTS versions) the canonical versions of Firefox did not update, but I expect the center of software or package manager to be able to keep Firefox reasonably aware and do not drop by more than one version.

  • My PC crashed. Restored on a new record and a new installation of FireFox. I can still access all the files. How do I take the old bookmarks if there is no backup?

    My PC crashed. Restored on a new record and a new installation of FireFox. I can still access all the files on the old drive. How do I take the old bookmarks if no backup exists, or has been completed? Does not save bookmarks of FireFox auto? If, then what is the file name and where is normally stored by FireFox?

    In fact, it can be easier...

    If you have the old drive connected as, say, drive E, go to:

    E:\Users\username

    Then click in the address bar and paste it after this and press ENTER to open it:

    \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

    Normally, you have only one file, which has a random string followed by "default." In this case, click on this file and find the subfolder bookmarkbackups.

    If you find multiple profile folders, look inside to find the most recently updated backups.

    To restore the backup files, see: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer

  • Fixed a crash issue repeated with a new installation of Firefox on Windows 8.1 28

    It is not so much a question as a contribution to the solution.

    On a new computer running Windows 8.1 a new installation of Firefox 28 has been repeatedly crash or freeze ("no response"). Loading pages can be slow and scrolling in staircase. Totally unusable, especially after playing content with Shockwave.

    Although I had not installed the plug-ins outside Shockwave and Adobe Acrobat, I have had a look and was surprised to see that I had never asked. I disabled those I don't think I need:
    Intel's Identity Protection technology
    Photo Gallery
    WildTangent Games App alarm presence V2.

    Since these disabling Firefox works well. But I was forced to use another browser for a week until you find the time to research the problem.

    Why are these called not - for and of course (at least one) annoying plugins installed by default? It does not have any good Firefox!

    Plugins are not included in the Firefox download, because Mozilla is not allowed to distribute. Firefox automatically detects the plugins on your system through a number of methods, so it was a good idea to revisit and disable those you don't need. I have really no idea whence the special ones.

  • How to perform a new installation while keeping the book mark, addons, etc.?

    I need to perform a new installation and I would like to keep my personal information, bookmarks, etc.. I know these info are stored separately and want to use it in the new facility. How can I do?

    Your personal data are stored in your profile. This folder is normally left intact when uninstalling Firefox, unless you check the option 'remove my Firefox personal data '.

    Also note that most of the problems with Firefox are contained in the profile folder. You can get a fresh start while maintaining things like Favorites and passwords resetting Firefox.

  • New installation of ff15 crashes always in under a minute

    After way too much nagging, I improved a product that worked, ff3.6, one who is not, ff15. It upgraded 3 plugins.
    Now when I open ff, no matter if I try actually use or just sit and look at a blank page, it crashes in about 30 seconds.
    Try to go there, more than 20 times on a new installation!
    Using XP. But this gave me the excuse to try Chrome and I found that it is very stable and much, much faster. And of course, I use Chrome now to send this message.

    OK, I discovered that kdump.dll is also used by Kingsoft PC Doctor. I have disable Kingsoft PC Doctor, and I was able to use Firefox normally.

    I have similar installation in the office where I use Windows 7, so far no problem...

    Microsoft Office installation
    OS: Windows 7 Pro SP1
    FF: 15.01
    Kingsoft PC Doctor 3.7, Antivirus 2012 (Cheetah) SP5.0

    Homepage:
    Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 operating system
    FF: 15.01
    Kingsoft PC Doctor 3.31.9 (with security option construction in)-last

    Since you the Kingsoft has been installed before.

    It thus means that Firefox may have to change its use of kdump.dll

  • Symbol ban after new installation on new SSD

    Hello

    A few months ago, my original HD failed (MacBook Pro (13-inch, mid 2012)).

    I decided to replace it myself with a SSD instead.

    the thing is, every time you start, I get the symbol ban for a few seconds until sometimes for hours, but once the start is done - everything works perfectly.

    tried to replace the disc SSD 3 times now - the same result after each new installation of recovery of the internet.

    Currently, using SanDisk Ultra II 240 GB.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you!

    The symbol you see means that the computer did not find a bootable system disk and sometimes occurs when you have not set up a default startup disk. Go to System Preferences, and then select Startup disk. You should see your SSD in the window. Select it after you unlock the preferences.

    The strange thing is that, if this is your problem, it must be solved in seconds - certainly not hours. This would suggest there is something more complex. You say that you tried to replace the SSD 3 times. Different drives? Different manufacturers?

  • Why FF act as if each start is a new installation and hang on to old tabs?

    I updated Firefox to version 8.0.1 to 9.0.1 about an hour ago, and it has been wrong since. I suspect it's a matter of preference, but I'm not sure.

    Every time I have start FF (or restart), he seems to think that this is the first time, it was run / installed. It checks the compatibility of each extension, once again.

    It also opens a new page in "Welcome to Firefox hooray... "as if it were a new installation. Each time, it adds a new tab with this message. Address, it opens:

    http://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/9.0.1/whatsnew/

    In addition, it does not follow my load on startup home page settings. It sticks with the old tab rather than that it should open.

    I've already gone through and tried to use the information on the pages of the forum helps:

    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/Firefox%20Has%20just%20updated%20tab%20shows%20each%20time%20You%20start%20firefox?s=page+opens+on+startup & r = 8 & As = s

    and

    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/preferences%20are%20not%20saved

    They do not seem to have helped matters. Of course, I don't know exactly which lines in the Prefs.js file should be deleted, but I took:

    user_pref ("browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab", false);
    user_pref ("browser.taskbar.lastgroupid", "Mozilla.Firefox.8.0.1");

    ... and the problems persist. I don't want to go lift more information that I do not understand. Thanks for any help.

    Oh, and I made sure there is no running session restore feature, AFAIK (including TabMixPlus). My settings of homepage in the menu Options are correct.

    To summarize:

    (1) stop FF to think every start/restart is a new installation.
    (2) get my home page to load to the correct address.

    I don't know what the problem with the old profile, and in this case, it is easier to try a new profile, that spend a lot of time to devote to what is wrong. It could be a prefs.js file or a problem with the registry extensions file or a problem with the files sessionstore or something else.
