• Boot FC SAN with server C260 M2 and VIC 1225

  Hello

  I'm trying to boot SAN CF installation with my server M2 C260. I have two VIC 1225 slot1 and slot7. Contained the vHBA entries table properties and MMIC boot, it doesn't seem to work. Looking at the sheet, this seems to be supported. Advice to solve this problem?

  I have updated the firmware and the BIOS/MMIC in the last 1.5.7e. Host operating system is ESxi5.5.

  See the screen shot for the vHBA parameters.

  Thank you

• UCS C420M3 server with VIC 1225, can't see the ethernet LOM ports

  Hi Guyz,

  We have C420M3 server with VIC 1225 connected on PCIe slot, with fabric Interconnet.

  After you have installed the OS & drivers, vNIC created the VIC 1225 by the service profile appear, but 4 gig on server LOM ports do not appear.

  Any idea. ?

  Thank you

  If you incorporate your rack server to UCSM, you will be able to use the LOM ONLY ports for traffic of Mgmt, when you join the server mode to 'Dual Wire'.

  It is useless (unless you have one for a special reason, I do not intend at this very moment) to use ports LOM, once you entered the server, precisely because of the 1225 VIC is not a regular NIC card or a regular HBA, it is indeed a CNA (Converged Network Adapter), which essentially allows you to do in a map , what you would do with two (which means "what you would do with a NETWORK card and HBA separated')

  When you have a VIC card, you actually have the ability to create up to 256 virtual interfaces (this is the capacity of the equipment, always limited by the operating system, please keep this in mind), this is the reason why, after the server is integrated, entirely rely on the interfaces in the Service profile instead of the physical interfaces.

  Find more info here:

  http://www.Cisco.com/c/en/us/products/interfaces-modules/unified-computi...

  You have a specific reason to use the LOM ports rather than create 2 additional virtual interfaces in Server Service profile?

• Disadvantages with VMware Workstation (7) running on a server rack Xeon?

  Hello

  We intend to run VMware Workstation on my company (7) on a server rack Xeon based (the next generation of Xeon, i.e. Beckton/Nehalem-EX, with 8 cores, planned in the 1st quarter of 2010), and then access all of these virtual machine guests (based on Windows, both the server and desktop kind/flavor) by separate remote desktop connections direct to them.

  I had a very hard time, trying to find out if there is (large or small) disadvantages with this approach?

  We do not want to use Vmware Server for this, because its characteristics (for example with respect to snapshots) are lower than those of VMware Workstation, and nor do we want to use ESXi, because we always want to run Windows as a host on the server operating system.

  Is VMware Workstation our best choice then, and there will be no significant disadvantage? I think it's as if there is a missing in the VMware portfolio, product i.e. namely I miss a server product with all the features of VMware Workstation, which still runs on a different host OS, what am I?

  In any case, again, the main question is:

  This plan of ours is stupid, and in this case how should we best solve it? Is there really an advantage by using VMware Server instead of VMware Workstation in this situation and in this case more exactly what?

  Any input or answers will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

  VMware Workstation on a good Windows installation will do you fine.

  Ideal if you conclude that the MS-host in this day you don't need no matter what Antivirus or firewall.

  Then such a facility will do what you expect.

  I wouldn't consider VMserver - workstation surpasses VMserver my experience

• C200M3, VIC 1225, Catalyst 4500 x

  Hello

  Everyone has set up a server with the installed VIC 1225 C200M3 and configured an etherchannel to a pair of Catalyst 4500 x?

  The server is freshly installed ESXi 5.1 standard vSwitch and two vNIC active/active and LB Hash IP value.

  As soon as the etherchannel is applied in the x 4500, the traffic of the host goes down.

  Have seen a few articles indicating that this will only work with the 1225 VIC if it s connected to a FEX or Nexus, is that correct?

  Concerning

  Hello Andreas,

  VIC in classical Ethernet (CE) interacts with any standards-based Ethernet switch.

  Can you please check the mac address of the interface vmkernel? Should one of the vNIC mac address?

  If so, the traffic could be running in default CSCuf65032

  As a work-around, you could recreate the vmkernel interface so that it would be the mac address which is not delong to vNIC.

• Configuration VIC 1225 in C240 problems

  I'm trying to set up a server with the installed VIC 1225 C240.

  Firstly, I would like to know if it is even possible to use it without fabric interconnections or Nexus switches. Suppose that I am just their regular snap up some 10GbE switches. I can change this but wante to have a better idea of my design decisions - not much info about when the VIC 1225 may or must be used outside this context. »

  Secondly, I am following the instructions here:

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/unified_computing/UCS/c/SW/CLI/config/Guide/1.4.1/b_Cisco_UCS_C-Series_CLI_Configuration_Guide_141_chapter_01001.html#task_3C31BD7B25BF4CF6839B7B12DE014482

  I checked that the VIC is installed in slot 1 visually as well as via the output below, but the output below is not what I expected by the documentation. I am not able to enter into the scope of this adapter, and it appears in "display adapters pci" and not "adapters". It is as if she is not even recognized as a VIC.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Matt,

  The VIC 1225 is fully supported as a stand-alone card outside UCSM and by default it runs in the classic Ethernet mode which means that it is compatible with any standard IEEE 10GE switch.

  The VIC is not supported in Slot 1 in the C240, he is supported in Slot 2 or 5

  (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/hw/C240/install/replace.html#wp1337242).

  Without be installed into the cracks, the connector of NC - if at the end of the PCIe bus will not be conencted and the MMIC has no interface to configure the card.  Once you have installed it in a supported housing, you should be able to frame scope and show the adapter.  Then brought to the map as shown below

• DL180 G6 Server Rack - permanently at 80% fan speed

  I bought a "SE326M1 G6 Twin Xeon Hex Core L5640 48 GB RAM HP Proliant DL180 G6 Server Rack 2U" on eBay. As he came not with all drives, I bought four caddies and some third party SATA hard disks. The computer works as such, but fans run constantly on the 80% fan speed and thus sounds like a rocket.

  The logging of the ILO 2 displays the following warning:

  "Error MESSAGE: 1717-Slot X Drive Array - the following discs declare a State of overheating:

  The temperature of the ILO 2 storage area (five separate readings) reading displays 'OK' and 0 degrees centigrade for five. So, I assume that the 'sea of sensors' place the fan speed 80% because there is no available temperature.

  My current conclusion, which is no more;

  1. the hard drives is not a temperature sensor and I need to use four hard drives certified HP

  2. the sensors on the Drive Cage Assembly (HP-530946-001) are defective

  3. berries for empty drives must be filled with blanks

  In order to exclude all these possible I have to spend very little money and time, and so I have the following questions.

  Issues related to the:

  1. do the disk drives HARD to have a temperature probe at all? Will they have, is the temperature read by the sea of sensors?

  2 iLO 2 would display a temperature for the "storage area" even if there is no disk HARD drive in one of the 25 bays at all? If this is the case, it would tell me that the Drive Cage Assembly sensors are defective.

  3. fill the HARD drive bays with white makes temperature sensors start working? What I wonder if whites have an electronic or similar, or that they are just empty pieces of plastic?

• Problem setting up Port Forwarding with two routers.

  I can't set up by Linksys RT31P2 and routers port forwarding WRT160Nv3.

  My setup is Webstar Modem = RT31P2 = WRT160N = Mac OS 10.6.5. (No configurable modem and ISP do not prevent port forwarding. It comes with two Linksys routers).

  I had a Monty Python-going around with the support of Cisco cat; and follow up with telephone assistance in which the agent knew nothing about port forwarding and his supervisor expressed the view that it was not possible with two routers. Sigh.

  If anyone can help me with step by step specific and simple instructions to configure routers. I know that the basic procedures. I'm not clear, what exactly changes on routers.

  I read that portforward.com has to say and it does not work so I must be misunderstanding something.

  The ip address of my computer is 192.168.1.103.  Are the last three digits of this speech concluded the two routers in the area on the port forwarding page? What other changes should be done what router?

  I know the port numbers that I use are OK because I can implement successfully if I connect to one or other of the routers (but not both), and my software of p2p shows port are open.

  Any help and suggestions most welcome.

  If you set up as I have suggested that you have only a single LAN that will be using in your addresses * 192.168.15 case. So in your case:

  1. change the address LAN IP of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.15.2 WRT.
  2 disable the DHCP server.
  3. connect the LAN of the WRT port to port LAN of the RT.

  That's all. Disable the DHCP server will not affect whatever it is that you're connected LAN - LAN and DHCP server on the RT is still operational.

  After the change, previously the WRT computers may require a reboot to get a new address 192.168.15. *.

  Your computer to which you are transferring must have an IP static and not dynamic (or variable). Check the current IP information on this computer. It must have an IP address like 192.168.15.103, mask 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.15.1 subnet and DNS 192.168.15.1 server or maybe two other IP addresses instead. Note DNS servers if you do not 192.168.15.1.

  Then configure a static IP address on the computer. Use something like 192.168.15.10, 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.15.1 and the DNS servers you found before.

  After this implement 192.168.15.10 port forwarding.

• Two R810s, each with two 8Gb Fiber Channel HBA + MD3620F + MD1220

  Hi people.

  I am planning an installation on this end, and I'm tender hand in the hope that the community can help me carry this all together.

  To explain, I have two servers Dell PowerEdge R810, each with two 8 GB HBA Fibre Channel adapters.

  I also have a Bay SAN of Dell PowerVault MD3620F 8 Gbps, with two controllers.

  I also have a Dell PowerVault MD1220 DAS SAS Expander Bay.

  I think to connects both R810 servers directly to the MD3620F, in order to consume all ports of four CF on the MD3620F. That is, one in each controller, from two HBAs in each server. (I can do this, or do I need a Fibre Channel switch? The MD3620F has 4 available ports, 2 per controller, so it would seem to be a natural configuration for only these two servers)

  Then, I will link the MD1220 to the MD3620F, so that its readers are also accessible through the two R810s on the link of Fiber Channel 8 Gbps. (what is the process to connect a MD1220 to a MD3620F?)

  Thoughts, tips, suggestions?

  Thank you

• SX2210T-touch screen with two monitors feature

  Solution found by the user ES128 for touch dual monitor.
  I've just set up a configuration of dual monitor with a SX2210T and a ST2220T on Windows 7. I got the touch features work correctly on both. As a first step, affecting either translated the entry only on the primary (the one that has been in primary school at the time), but after playing around with the settings I got work like I wanted. I tried several things, but I think that the right thing to do is go in the settings of the Tablet PC from the Control Panel window and press the Setup button next to "configure your pen and touch poster» There you will be asked to each touch screen and you're done. 2-point multitouch works on each monitor, but not both simultaneously. At one point, I went that one would be regarded as primary, and which caused the hand on a single monitor to take account of the other and vice versa. Following the same steps above again not straightened it.

• Oracle Text returns no results when the string begins with two consecutive vowels

  Hello

  I hope someone can shed some light on a strange problem, that we face.

  Oracle Database 11 g R2 (11.2.0.4) EE 64 bit running on Windows 2008 Server R2.

  When I create an index of context on a column varchar2 (surname), it works fine when the surname begins with a consonant or a vowel. But when the family name starts with two vowels, that it fails to return the file?

  Please see example below:

  create table t1 (surname varchar2(50));
  
  insert into t1 values ('OURS');
  insert into t1 values ('JOURS');
  insert into t1 values ('ONES');

• vmxnet3 adapter on windows server 2012 with problem of bottleneck for MSSQL Server

  Hello!

  We have a server windows 2012 R2 with MSSQL server 2014.

  The client software uses the jdbc for database connection. If customers make a query which collects a massive amount of data the whole thing slowed down after a while.

  Then, his need to wait 10-20 minutes to speed up again. I have tested and tried everything.

  -measure the ethernet parameters

  -replace the cables by cat7

  -installed a virtual machine with the windows client and the real customer use the virtual environment via rdp

  -activated the RSS in the vmxnet3 advanced settings and windows

  -the mode SplitRx in vcenter vm settings and disabled ethernet Coalescent too

  -set the VM to high latency

  -tried to migrate the virtual machine to another host

  Not for their help. If a massive sql query is run first its great, then the need for a second or more to check a single record.

  checked the vm cpu stress but its less than 5% all the time. Checked the network with wireshark, there are a lot of small packets but nothing big. The bandwidth used is still low.

  When its idle delay after two packets will increase from a few ms to 400-500 ms.

  Our most powerful server is an HP DL380 G9 with two octa core Xeon processor 384 GB of ram, full SSD datastore. Its a lightning fast host.

  The virtual machine have 8 core cpu and 64 GB of ram.

  No matter where am I up the virtual machine or how many resources provide the custom aisle question.

  The strange thing is when customers slowed down I can copy large files between the client and the server with fast speed, so the slow sql.

  I can solved this question if I use the ethernet E1000 instead of the VMXNET3 adapter, but E1000 have much more load and the server need to transfer big files too, not only the sql service.

  Vmxnet3 much faster and have less overhead, but this question of sql, I have a problem with that. So I go back to the E1000 for now. Its slower eat more cpu but the sql connections works very well without any problems.

  Can someone tell me what I can try harder to identify the vmxnet3 problem? I really need it to improve network performance and lower overhead, but the rapid sql is the top priority.

  Thank you!!!

  We had exactly the same problem on our SQL servers once upgraded to Vsphere6.This is due to Receive Segment coalescence feature in new VMXNET3-nics on Win 2012.

  More details here: http://nickmarshall.com.au/blog/2015/7/24/vsphere-6-hardware-version-11

  The best way to solve this problem is to turn it off completely in the server operating system (in the admin command prompt):

  netsh int tcp set global rsc = disabled

  
  

  Check with:

  
  

  netsh int tcp show global

  It's fast and easy without downtime or disruptions and involves no change types of nic.

  After doing this on all our SQL and application servers, everything was ok.
