• Fabric of interconnection in the care of the CF NPIV Switch mode? If anyone can confirm?

  Hello

  I'm working on a scenario where a client will make Direct Attach Storage for a pair of UCS fabric of interconnections. It will also need to connect a device of backup based on the CF to the FI. So let's run the s FI mode Switch CF.

  There apparently is a virtual machine on the blades which must have virtual HBA running in order to access their specific LUN.

  The question is whether the fabric interconnect (version 2.1(3b)) will support NPIV when running in the FC switch mode. Or the GUI or CLI Configuration guide mentions this, and I have not any FI to connect to check.

  Can anyone confirm this, either by pointing to a URL where it can be clarified or by connecting a FI Switch FC mode and by:

  connect nxos

  have SH

  or see the race |  feature Inc.

  and check if the npiv feature is enabled or not?

  Thanks a lot for your help

  Gustavo

  NPIV is by default active! See screenshot below

  Tanti saluti

• UCS General questions

  Hello

  I have a few questions about UCS. Do not hesitate to reply to all the of them, thank you!

  1. What are the main benefits of using FCoE vs FC to UCS?
  2. can someone point me to performance data of FCoE vs FC in the UCS?
  3. What is the difference between the fixed modules and expansion on made them other than being able to replace the plug-ins? A difference that I noticed is that when you select "Configure the Ports unified" on the FI, it says that all FI will have to reboot if you use fixed ports, but the port expansion module can restart independently. There are other differences between the fixed modules and expansion?
  4. What is the best practice for creating organizations? The limit is usually the data center? What are the benefits for the combination of several data centers (which could be in the same geographic area) into a single entity?
  5. most people configure UCS of 'root', or they always configuring everything in specific OUs they create?
  6. This setup of most of the organizations mentioned here video separates VSAN for each fabric (A & B)
  a. How are the fiber channel pass setup to accommodate the VSAN on made them?
  7. is there an advantage to having separate VSANS / VLAN ID between fabric A and B? A few examples I see use the same ID of the VSAN on both fabrics, while others are not
  8. in this diagram (link), there are 4 connections from the FIs to the San. Each FI is wired to each storage processor. In this configuration, how it the SAN be configured - ALUA?
  9 (for ESXi hosts) what are the advantages/disadvantages of creating a model vNIC for each tissue, compared to one model for each vmnic vNIC?
  10. under what circumstances should you not check "Activate the failover" for models vNIC for esxi hosts?

  11. What is the best practice for the connection of FEX-to - IOM to the title of the material > policies > policies > chassis/FEX discovered political? Many companies set it up as a Port channel or not?

  (1) complex is the best I can say.  For us, we decided to stay with native CF that we already have the buildout FCC native. Our network group is for us to move to FCoE (we use N5K for our data center fabric switches).  But for our SAN group, we all all comfortable with native CF right now and didn't want to convolute our UCS deployment at a crossing FCoE.

  2) UCS FCoE, comes from the back of the interconnection.  There is no difference in performance. Once FC lands to interconnection, interconnection opens the package and converts it to the headers of FCoE, laying on a VLAN you configure (must be a VLAN unique, it will leave you not overlap with production VLAN defined in UCS already) and sends it to the VIC. The VIC then opens the package FCoE and hands to the BONE as if it were native fiber channel.  The difference in performance between the two is negligible.

  (3) the fixed module is controlled a.  When you change the unified ports any interconnection charges.  When you load a plug-in only the plug-in restarts if you change its setting unified ports.  Another thing to note when buying a plug-in you get you license additional ports that can be used everywhere where (it doesn't have a plug-in port license).  Other than that, the performance and the functionality is the same as fixed.

  (4) create us organizations for each type of OS because different groups managing different OS'. For example, we have an org for VMare, one for Linux, for windows, and then a special one oracle for our DBAs. We then assign permissions via AD to local so the groups have access to their servers with a minimum of effort on our part.

  (5) while root except if necessary below (haven't run this yet)

  (6) as a "best practice", you should always have two separate fabrics. UCS must put the FCoE VLAN fabrics.  To avoid confusion, it is best to put each fabric in its own VSAN. For example, we run our SAN fabric production in VSAN around 10 and FCoE VLAN 3210.  SAN fabric B is to VSAN 11, FCoE VLAN 3211.
  (6A) the prospect of a MDS/Nexus that you put in place a "f-port trunk." Newspapers of the UCS in the fabric as a nport with NPIV (ucs connects and then tells the fiber switch "also, these additional WWPN are also on this port, I just connected to, send their data to me").  You put the f-port channel you create on the mds/nexus device in the VSAN you want (in my example, 10 for A VSAN and VSAN 11b). Also to note: you cross never interconnection fabrics up to your SAN infrastructure. InterConnect will have a port channel to A SAN fabric and
  Interconnect B to B SAN fabric.  Consider the interconnections as HBA on a normal server.  You do not mix the tissues A and B.  That's how you get redundancy SAN.

  (7) see above.  I strongly recommend that create you separate VSANS for each fabric.  This will ensure that nothing ever gets through.

  (8) If you connect directly FIs them processors SAN you must activate the switch for on the UCS fabric mode.  You won't be able to connect the UCS for all fiber switches once do you it, and all the zoning must be done in UCSM. It does not work (we do in our test environment), be aware that it fits well beyond an area.  You would provide the same as before your San.  Activate ALUA.  The first port on each SP would go to FI - A and the second port on each SP would go to the FI - B.  Then the appropriate area in UCSM.

  (9) our ESXi hosts get a minimum of six models of vNIC.  We create an A, B mgmt, A vmotion, vmotion mgmt B, features and data B.  As you can guess, pin us each model to a cloth and do not switch.  This gives us a ton of flexibility within ESXi.  Furthermore, I believe that it is the 'best practice' is not to use the failover fabric for VMware. (If you chose, you will get alarms in vmware indicating that there is no redundancy nic.  There is an advanced disable setting.  Do not have casual, you would need to google that.). I recommend you to make a template for each tissue and keeping them up-to-date as a pair.

  (10) I wouldn't use fabric failover for everything related to VMware, VMware does a great job of redundancy management.  Let it do its work.  We only use the fabric failover for windows and Linux host running the SCU.

  (11) Yes set up as a port channel.  Before you connect the chassis as you can not no interruption of service do this later.  When a frame is automatically recognized, port channels or groups of pine are configured behind the scenes.  You cannot change these directly. Therefore, if you switch to port channels later, the only way to 'rebuild' is to re - emphasize the chassis, which will be the frame and everything in it in offline mode.  Bad day.  If you do not port channels, use the vETH blade interfaces get pinned to an uplink (following the defined process of cisco, google for UCS once again pinning get more information).  The channels of port pine servers to the interface port-channel instead of the uplink interface which makes it much more stable and resistant to link failure.  Pinning, if memory is, if a link to a server is pinned breaks down, the interface of the server is down.  It is not "repin" the link.  Thus, for example, if you do not use channel ports and a server gets pinned to uplink 1/1, and it breaks down, the server will see this interface out of service.  With a port channel, as long as a link in the chain is in place, the server will be displayed.

  I hope this helps. I typed this from my ipad - do not hesitate to respond and I'll try to clarify.

• NPIVs and VMs

  Hi, I'm looking for model workloads running on multiple virtual machines on a vSphere 5 / ESXi host Fibre Channel 5. I'm not 100% certain if unique FCIDS and WWPN is used for virtual machines. Here is my understanding. If you know the answer, I'd appreciate it if you can clarify for me.

  I think I understand:

  -If a virtual computer simply uses the virtual disk, then it is not a unique FCIDS / WWPN assigned to this virtual machine.

  -If a virtual computer is configured to use CF NPIV (under VM properties-> change settings for virtual machine-> Options), then a single FCIDS / WWPN is assigned to this virtual machine. The host that performs using NPIV.

  -Example 1: If a host has 40 virtual machines installed and that all of them use only the virtual disk (i.e. no NPIV FC enabled), then the host uses a FCIDS (i.e. the HBA N_Port FCIDS) and WWPN for send i/o down the infrastructure of storage for all virtual machines.

  -Example 2: If a host has 40 virtual machines, and each of them has CF NPIV is enabled, then the there will be 40 unique FCIDS / WWPN observed out of HBA of the host.

  Is the above correct? I myself would trace if I have a FC Analyzer, but I have not at this stage. So I have to ask this question here.

  Thank you

  Yes, you are right! Spot on.

• Question of cloning for SSD upgrade on 12 Macbook Pro

  Previously, I did an upgrade to SSD on my Macbook Air to 2012 according to the instructions of JetDrive transcend. Basically connection via USB 3 and using Mac OS X to clear (and format) disc utilities new SSD, then restore again SSD and then remove the original 128 GB SSD and insert the new 480 GB SSD.  For about a month and so far without problem.

  Now I'm trying to 2012 Macbook upgrade my Pro partner (on 10.11.6).  I got a Crucial SSD MX300 to replace his HARD drive.  Crucial comes with (or recommend) Acronis software.  And a lot of the messages of the forum recommend Carbon Copy Clone.

  My question is if I can use the same method for the cloning of the HD as my Macbook Air (just restore disk of Mac OS X utilities)?  This time, I'm upgrading HARD drive and I don't know if something is different.  At the same time, if I got lucky the first time, I don't not ruin Macbook Pro my spouse this time.

  Thank you.

  Yes, you can use disk utility to clone your MBP wives, but unlike CCC, it will not clone the recovery and Partition.

• Question about resolution movie downloads

  If I buy a movie at a certain resolution (780p for example), but I want more later re - download at a higher or lower resolution (SD or 1080 p), can I do so and how?

  Same question perhaps for music. Some of my songs have been bought before the latest Apple codecs.

  Any help is appreciated!

  THX!

  Once you have made a purchase on the iTunes store, you will see your purchased items in the menu under accounts bar > bought. You can simply select the item purchased and re-upload.

  With regard to the resolution of the film for films that are offered, and you select the resolution, you can download it again and select a different resolution. For movies that are available as separate download to SD, 780, or 1080 points, you would be limited to the original resolution you selected.

• Bootcamp Windows 10 question

  Hi all

  Stumbled upon a problem, try to install Windows 10 an end 2014 27' iMac w/retina education runs Yosemite 10.10.5. Bootcamp is V 5.1.4. 32 GB, 3.5 ghz Intel I5. Disk of 1 TB of Fusion. Before you try this, I read the guide of Bootcamp to install windows, but also a number of other tutorials and forum messages about potential problems. This research, I learned that for EDU edition you must change the name of the file from Win10_1607_Education_English_x64.iso to Win10_1607_English_x64.iso. Apparently to have the former name of the file may cause OS X to not recognize the ISO. That fact I started Bootcamp, waited while the software downloaded and created a bootable USB key and partitioned my drive giving Windows 70 GB of space. After that, I got the message that my computer is restarts. Upon restarting, I got the black screen with the blue Windows logo and a spinning loading animation. After a few minutes, a blue screen with a message "Windows has encountered and error with computer and must restart," or something similar. He was pretty quick, so maybe it's not word for Word, but it was not a helpful post in terms of saying something specific. When the computer reboots, I am sent directly to OS X, though a bit slower than normal. I tried to restart with the flash drive to see if the installer would start up, no dice. Try now the Option key at startup, the flash player is not available. Went into my settings to see if I could change my startup on Win disk install USB, no luck it no more.

  Now for the question: How can I get the Windows installation again? What I have to start the process, and if so, what should I use Bootcamp to delete the partition that was created? I have re-run Bootcamp and the only option that is checked is the partition and start and install/uninstall windows and delete the partition.

  Thanks for the help.

  How to reset the NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

  If you use a USB drive, not a USB flash drive, you will have problems. It is recommended to use a 8-16 GB USB2 flash drive.

  If the installation program is located on a USB Flash drive, stop your Mac, connect the USB key, restart and hold down the alt/option key and select the Windows icon in the USB port. This installs Windows in BIOS mode. If you click the start EFI icon, it will install using the EFI mode (faster). You may need to change the partition from MBR to GPT using GPT Fdisk.

• Yahoo account question

  Yes, I understand these are the Apple support forums, but I don't know where else to ask this question and I thought some of you would have the answer to this question.

  I deleted my Yahoo account last week, but I've heard that the 500 million Yahoo accounts were hacked in 2014. I made my account in 2015. Im sure it is hacked since I made my account a year after the supposed hack, but if my account has been hacked and I deleted which would be safe?

  If your account did not exist in 2014, then it is has not been hacked. Removal of the guarantees it will not be new since there was more pirate. Normally, at least the hackers got access to more information in the narrative, as credit card numbers, change your Yahoo password would have sufficed.

• Text backup question / deleted

  I accidentally deleted one of my iPhone SMS 6 Plus.  They always show on my iMac and iPad but I fear when an AutoSave occurs, it will back up the iPhone and remove them to two other devices. What will happen?  I use iCloud if that makes a difference.

  Hi melissahh625,

  I understand that you have questions about your messages deleted on different devices. I know that it is important to have a handle on your data, so I'm happy to help you.

  When you receive messages, they are stored on different devices. This means that when you delete a device they will not be deleted on the other. This is the case, even if one of your backup devices to iCloud that these backups are specific to devices, as well.

  Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. See you soon!

• Question

  Look I went to a new site called collabmix.com, and in any case I tried one of my samples Logic Pro download for someone else to try to collaborate with and help me through my song production. In any case when I go to download, the site accepts only gif, jpg, jpeg, or png. How to record my song pro logic and make a jpeg or jpg file? Please someone... IM new to this site and maybe someone asked this already so I'm sorry if this is a redundant question. Anyway ill be looking for a response from the community here. Thank you

  GIF, jpg, jpeg, or png are all formats of image, audio files or formats of logic.

  I got a peek on the site but I'm not register. I'm going to guess and say you are in the wrong place to download your song.
