• The upgrade of the plant of the UCS 1.0(1a) to 1.1(1b)

  I followed the steps described by Cisco in the UCS Central upgrade and installation guide:

  Step 1	If necessary, restart the virtual machine and change the boot options to boot from the CD-ROM.
  Step 2	Mount the ISO Cisco UCS Central image with the virtual CD/DVD drive.
  Step 3	In the Central Installation of Cisco UCS menu on the ISO image, choose upgrade existing Cisco UCS Central.
  Step 4	Once the upgrade is complete, of the Cisco UCS Central ISO image from the virtual CD/DVD drive.
  Step 5	Restart the Cisco UCS Central VM.

  However after having mounted the ISO of the UCS Central and reloading image of the virtual machine, I never see the UCS just the standard newspaper central installation menu on the screen.

  Anyone got through UCS Central 1.0(1a) to the 1.1(1b)?

  Hi Paul,.

  Yes, the above process works very well. Have you changed the boot order to make sure that it starts on the CD/DVD?

  Also can ensure that the uploaded image is correct.

• Addition of vNIC to vNIC connectivity LAN via UCS Central PowerTool (BETA) strategy

• Mini of the UCS + 4 switches, no VLAN

  Hi all

  I have a mini UCS with 6324 modules e/s with B200 m3 x 5 blades, each ESXi 6.0 running.

  I want to uplink the UCS mini with four cables to four switches separated for traffic, and I wish that each host ESXi b200 see four separate vmincs, one on each network. The switches have no VLAN, but running DHCP. I want to get DHCP from each card.

  How can I go on the correspondences between the vNIC?  Groups of LAN Pin?

  Hi Alex,

  That is right. You can also implement Layer 2 disjoint explained in the guide below for more secure access.

  Hello

  What UCSM version are you running?  It looks like you can have a version prior to 2.1, who does not have the ability to integrate into the power plant of the UCS.

• UCS Central - model of political profile of Global Service with Local SAN Boot

  Hello

  I created a profile Service Global UCS central template to create the ESX Service profile for servers 5 different area of UCS.

  The majority of addresses is assigned in the world i.e. addresses MAC, UUID, etc with the exception of the WWPN where local teams of SAN want to pre-configure the zoning for a defined block of addresses WWPN.

  I intend to use the ID range Qualification policy to assign a block of addresses WWPN to a specific area of UCS, but my main concern is around the creation of Boot SAN policy. As we intend to use the same model of Service Global profile for 5 different areas SAN Boot targets will have to be different.

  Any way to locate startup SAN strategy so I can have only one UCS Global local SAN Boot targets?

  Thank you very much, Paul

  Hi Paul,.

  What you're looking for, it's what we call a 'Boot target Alias', that should work much in the same way that VLAN alias work with UCS 1.1 Central.     Made senior level policy reference to the 'alias', but the actual link (some VLAN or target of Boot or...) will be specific field/DomainGroup and will not be resolved until the SP is associated with a session on a given field.     In the case of prime targets, this would allow for the same Global SP model to be used in several DomainGroups, while the actual target of Boot will vary according to the individual DomainGroup.

  Unfortunately, this feature is not in UCS 1.1 Central.   We have it on the list of features 'high priority' to point 1.2.

  The only 'solution' is to use several global models of the SP, whose name and attributes reflect the underlying objective of SAN-Boot - even if this creates models of N * M (N = # Gech/s;) M = bays of Boot # SAN).

  Hope this helps to enlighten us.    See you soon,.

• Manually delete the UCS field on plant?

  Hi all

  Is there a way to manually remove a UCS central area if communication has been lost to UCSM and it has not been deleted with elegance?

  Thank you!

  Yes there is, under "Newspapers and defects", you can navigate on the left for "domains registered. Select the field to UCS, you want to unsubscribe, do a right click and 'delete '. I hope this helps.

• Change of address IP UCS Central

  Hello

  Anyone know if it is supported?

  Thank you very much

  Hi Frank

  It's hard, why?

  -Register a domain UCS, does not support DHCP for obvious reasons.

  -You can not change or swap the IP addresses used by Cisco UCS Manager in a domain that is registered with Cisco UCS Central. If you need to change or swap this IP address, you must first cancel the Cisco UCS Central domain registration. You can re-register the domain of the Cisco UCS after changed or exchanged the IP address.

  -If you use a hostname instead of IP address, you must configure a DNS server. If the Cisco's UCS domain is not registered with Cisco UCS Central or DNS management is defined at the local level, configure a DNS server in Cisco's UCS Manager. If the area of Cisco UCS is registered with Cisco UCS Central and DNS management has the overall value, configure a DNS server in Cisco UCS Central.

  So maybe if you used a DNS hostname, instead of an IP address to register a UCS domain, you can change the IP address in the DNS (and IP address in the center of the UCS).  Question is: How can you use UCS Manager to do a reverse DNS lookup and choose the IP address has changed. Write off / registry is not the solution.

  Summary: I don't think that there is a decent solution.

  Hey Shane,

  You are in the process or registration UCS Central? This anomaly looks quite old (2011). It may be the result of a shared secret phrase has changed.

  If you don't use a UCS Central, you can unsubscribe safely it Admin tab is UCSM to eliminate the fault.

• Plant of the UCS 1.2 (1f) TFTP question backup

  I noticed that a TFTP backup (full-State) of the UCS Center on version 1.2 (1f) does not work as a restoration, however if you run a local backup in the center of the UCS and download the file, you can use this one to restore via TFTP

  Obviously it's a problem if you have a claim and your UCS plant broke, it is possible that your backup TFTP files are of no use and so you do not have a backup

  I don't know if this has been resolved in later versions

  Hi Matthew,

  It is a known with Central FTP/TFTP problem:

  https://BST.cloudapps.Cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCuy09692/?reffering_site...

  You can choose to create local backups or use a linux as a backup host server. This issue should be resolved in version 1.5 Central.

  Thank you

• Fuze doesn't recognize the MPEG-4 audio layer - any suggestions?

  Fuze doesn't recognize the MPEG-4 audio layer - any suggestions?

  I have loaded a series of MPEG-4 audio layer files on my rocket. I can see them on the "rocket" when I consider my computer but not the "rocket" itself.

  The Sansa times .mp3, .wma. OGG, FLAC and .wav. It cannot decode m4a or mpeg-4.

  Are downloads of iTunes? Apple doesn't want read you elsewhere on your computer and whatever this dopI little pocket music player they do is called?   M4a and .aac are owners of Apple formats.

  You must extract these files from CDs in mp3, or if you do not have CD you will need to convert m4a to mp3. Download the free media encoder and conversion (transcoding) these files mp4 to mp3 high quality, 192 Kbps or higher. If you use more low-quality mp3 will save you space, but the sound quality will suffer.

  And if you use iTunes to rip a CD, you can change the settings (in Edition/Preferences/Advanced/import music, which differs from the advanced visible tab) to mp3 instead of m4a files when rip you.

  If your files are m4p, the p is for protégés who are protected against copying the files, which means that you're not supposed to move on another device.  The only way to convert is to go into the underground world of pirate.

• What kind of PDU like people for the UCS?

  I intend to deploy a UCS in the next month.  It seems that every UCS chassis requires four containers of L6 - 20.

  And we get two chassis.  While I was trying to get a couple of Pulizzi as ounces below.  Anyone prefers another

  type for better management or other reasons?  Also - L6 - 20 power is only option for the UCS?  Thank you.

  http://powerquality.Eaton.com/ePDU-LPC208-2p.aspx?CX=3

  There is a 110 plug in a PDU specializes in the basket.  Check with your Cisco representative for the part number - it works fine.  We have deployed about 100 chassis and it worked very well.

• The review of the UCS and VCP

  Hi all

  I do not have a secure Channel and yet so I will at least make the test of the UCS?

  Is-Cisco has a system as they will allow us to test of the UCS, but they will not give us unless we are SECURE.

  Thank you

  Ismail

  Hi Ismail

  You can always take the test and still qualify as a Cisco Unified Computing Technology Specialist of the design and a Cisco Unified Computing Technology Support Specialist without a PCV.

  But if you're after Cisco Data Center Unified Computing Support Specialist, etc. then yes VCP is always a pre - req (I heard that there will be rejected in favour of a managed Cisco equivalent, but who is without merit)

  Unfortunatley (that I found) just passing examination VCP wasn't enough, but the VMware course is also a mandatory requirement for VCP VMware.

  Good luck with it.

• Replace the UCS - b2xx HARD drive

  We have a UCS with blades B200.

  One of the HARD drive led STATIC amber, (it is a HARD drive failure according to the documentation), but UCS Manager did no show any alert.

  My first question is... I see not awake in the UCS Manager? I have to turn on any kind of follow-up to the HARD drive?

  The HARD drive was reflected with RAID 1, then why has decided to install a replacement.

  We extracted the defective HARD drive and inserted a new (because they are Hot Swap we did with the server on).

  But now the UCS Manager is showing the HARD drive as a disc UNKNOWN, so he did not recognize it

  We rebooted the server with no luck.

  What should I do any kind of procedure of the UCS to recognize the new drive and rebuild the RAID 1 mirror?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Which firmware version are you running?

  In versions prior to 2.0, we had has very little followed HDD and reports. The status UNKNOWN to the driver after installing a new is also due to a bug known in versions 1.4 or previous.

  If you see the normal LEDs on the disc, then you know that the re - build is finished, you can also restart the blade and enter the optional ROM of LSI, and check the status of the drivers.

• Manager of the UCS of 1.2 update (1 d) to 1.3 (1o)

  I use the instructions in the UCSM_GUI_Configuration_Guide_1_3_1.pdf to upgrade my equipment ucs.  There are several questions and I had.

  (1) it says to update the firmware for the IOM and wait until you activate the firmware on the fabric of interconnections that will restart the interconnection fabric and IOM, date on which IOM will be updated.  I did the firmware was not updated on IOM.  The backup version still shows 1.3 (1o) and the current version is 1.3 (1 c) IOM for, even if the fabric of interconnections successfully updated.  When I try to manually activate the firmware on the IOM, I get error combined modification.  The compatibility check failed. What is this?

  (2) I have treid activating the UCS Manager according to page 141 of the guide of version 1.2 (1 d) 1.3 (1o) and I find failed to start activation.  The check of the compatibiity failed. 

  (3) I tried to update the individual servers of 1.2 interface cards (1 d) to 1.3 (1o) and I will meet with the same errors of compatibility check.

  This is the first time I went through and tried to update the firmware on my new box of UCS.  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  During the activation of the new firmware, you must check the box to ignore the compatibility check.
