Trouble seeing vhba of UCS on Nexus 5 k

I have UCS > 6100 (a/b) > nexus 5 k (a / b) > emc vnx 5300.  I have two installed VSAN and my switch can see two ports on my vnx5300 with show flogi. However, my 5ks don't see the vhba on the ucs system. I have two vhba configured, a tissue in one and the other for fabric b. From now the nexus is connected to the 6100 as a port channel. Ports-channel is configured as a trunk. Now, this makes me think that this is where the vsan communication is a failure. The connection to the 6100 and nexus needs to be something more than a simple trunk?

Dennis,

I hope that you give on the Fiber Channel uplinks to your N5K and not Eth/FCoE (there no FCOE Multihop yet).

Assuming that you have your 6100's with CF logs to your N5Ks and the N5K "npiv' enabled, you should see the flogi to your host vHBAs.

The CLI of 6100 you can also 'connect nxos' and 'show flogi npv' which will show you the CF sessions between your 6100 and N5K - I find where you problem.

All of your SAN connections would travel on the module of Fibre Channel 6100, up to Channel N5K Fiber module, then to your table.  You can always trunk and channel ports SAN your rising FC.  Just to confirm that this is what you did and not using uplink Ethernet to your N5K waiting to work.

Can you provide a diagram or a detail the exact topology (Eth, FC etc)

Kind regards

Robert

  • Connect UCS to Nexus

    Hello

    I add UCS FI to our network, connect you to a switch of Nexus. our network has several VLANS isolate and VLAN normal, that all should be trunk to FI. The port of the switch, can I do mode normal trunk, or private - vlan trunk.

    Thank you

    Hello

    In general, all them VLANs is defined in a domain UCS are shared resources on any Nortbound links, see

    http://www.Cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/servers-unified-computing/UCS-...

    However, there is also the notion of vlan disjoint, see

  • Please tell me how to connect with FCoE mini-UCS and Nexus N5k (N5K-C5548UP-B-S32)

    I have UCS 5108 chassis of Server Blade (with two blades B200 M3 inside and two FI 6324) connected to the switch of Nexus N5k 4x10GE links.

    I want to set both aggregated channels FCoE (vFC) of chassi to pass.

    All the instructions I've seen mention that UCS-mini needs to be mode end-host FC, but version 3.0 UCSM does not support this mode, what should you do?

    I put in place following the www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/switches/nexus-5000-series-switches/116248-configure-fcoe-00.html instructions

    But after the installation, I get an error on the fabric: FCoE or FC uplink is down on Vsan 500;

    And the Nexus program: Vsan 500 is declining (pending flogi)

    When I ' display interface vfc 1 ' CLI nexus I don't see "Trunk VSAN (high)", but

    "VSANS trunk (boot) (500).

    Unfortunately, I can't find the technical notes for mini UCS (with UCSM v. 3.0), so maybe you can promt guides or suggestion for this?

    Thank you in advance!

  • UCS to NEXUS

    Hello

    Is it possible to connect a UCS solution to a pair of 5500 Nexus via native Ethernet according to LAN and CF communications native according to communications SAN? Then I was going to link arrays EMC VNX 5500 Nexus via native FC and the core of his native LAN via Ethernet. In other words, I use 5500 Nexus as a LAN/SAN consolidated device, but WITHOUT using a consolidated as FCoE Protocol. This design is ok? Have warnings or things to keep in mind?

    In addition, in this scenario it would add any benefit to connect the VNX berries to the Nexus through FCoE instead of native FC?

    Thank you

    This will work. Do us all the time in our laboratory. The 5500 replaces the need for a MDS or Brocade FC switch. It works perfectly. You can use the NPIV Switch 5500 or you can enable the CF to switching in the box of the UCS and make a E or TE port between the 5500 and UCS FIs.  We also support F port channel trunk between 5500 and UCS FI, you can do just about every option CF connection between boxes of Nexus and UCS.

    I can't comment on the VNX and it's FCOE capabilities.

  • Map of ESX/ESXi DRS/HA/FT-UCS M71KR - Nexus 1000

    Hi all

    I have a doubt about the configuration of ESX/ESXi in congiunction with ucs years n1k.

    If I use the channel (mac-pinning based due to material ucs) on n1k and I have only two NIC (M71KR) card can I properly configure FT/HA or DRS.

    having a port-channel vmware is informed of nic ha? I may have some redundant warning as a note to management interface or stuff like that?

    any idea of?

    TNX

    Dan

    Dan,

    We work with the DRS, FT and HA. You will be able to configure a Port-Channel with MAC-pinning and always use DRS, the FT and HA feature.

    To create the channel port, you must add the two network interface cards to the DVS in a perspective of VMware is aware that you have redundancy NIC.

  • Trouble seeing graphic white with transparent background

    Hi all

    I created a white arrow .gif file that I imported into Captivate 3. It has a transparent background and is visible in edit mode, but disappears in mode preview/publish.

    If I change the color of the arrow to something else and update the file in Captivate, it works fine. Change it back, and it's gone again...

    Any ideas?

    I think that Fabio was referring to the Transparent background option in the Image dialog box. If you specify a transparency color that matches the color of your arrow, Captivate will 'clear' all instances of the color in the image, including the arrow.

    Even if you do not have the option of transparency enabled, make sure that the transparency color does not match the color of your arrow. Captivate may make transparency despite the setting box, in which case you can try to change the transparent color to something radically different from your arrow (I like to use bright pink because it likely never will subtract in my graphics.)

    Another option is to remove the chart and get him again. Sometimes, Captivate simply refuses to play nice any settings you change and new porter from scratch can do wonders.

  • UCS Manager & Vmware

    Hi guys,.

    Before we set our Cisco UCS solution in we have Vmware running with Nexus 1000v switch. After the installation of the Cisco UCS solution, we migrated a lot off the coast of the old system to the new. By reading the manual on setting up vCenter, Port and VMS profiles in UCS Manager, it seems that this creates a new on the nexus 1000v vsm. Anyway is to import what we have so that we see in the UCS Manager?

    David, the functionality of the UCS you speak is known as VN-Link in the material while the Nexus 1000v is known as VN-link in the software. Installation and configuration is very similar to the Nexus 1000v but they are separated distributed virtual switches.

    Unfortunately, you can't use both because they require the VEM loaded on ESX hosts and the UCS VN-link requires a login policy dynamic UCS vNIC. If you use the 1000v, you will not be able to use the VM tab in UCSM and you will not see anything on the virtual computers tab on a Service profile.

    In my opinion the Nexus 1000v is preferable because is offer more features, more scalable and is managed/set NX - OS. Of the UCS VN-link option also limits the number of virtual machines, you can run on a host computer, because the dynamic vNIC takes in charge a maximum of 56 depending on how rising your chassis to your FIs. If you have only 2 uplinks of your chassis then the max machines virtual host when using the UCS VN-Link is 20-24, according to the number of vNIC ESX host, you create as part of your Service profile.

  • Masking vs. zoning for UCS and NetApp storage LUNS

    I know it's more a matter of Cisco MDS/storage, but nobody knows masking the LUNS and zoning, which one would be the most preferred method? I have two switches Cisco fabric 9148, two controllers SAN Netapp FAS3210 1 UCS chassis with 4 blades B200 M2. I said that I should not connect the Cisco UCS fabric interconnect directly at the back of the NetApp SAN and configure with LUN masking, but I rather configure a fabric zoning on switches Cisco 9148 MDS. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem but we have an offsite location where we have not all DMS switches to, and I would like to connect them directly to the San.

    I was told that this could lead to corruption if misconfigured dsik and point of view of Cisco is to use a zoning by some type of switch Cisco Fabric. Of course, I have of course this Cisco advises anyone to manage this type of configuration through their facilities instead of on the SAN. Does anyone have an opinion on the matter?

    Zoning and masking are two completely different characteristics.

    Zoning occurs on your storage switches and is the equivalent of an ACL (Access Control List).  It limits who may be considering other targets and/or initiators.  (Who I see?)

    Occurs on your storage array and masking limits what initiator LUN has access to.  (What do I see?)

    * UCS is not supported to directly connect a storage array in the interconnection of fabric, at least to have a storage upstream switch (MDS or equivalent) to push the zoning.  The use of zoning prevents a faulty initiator potentially impacting on the operation of the others by limiting what they can see in the fabric.

    If you happen to have a Nexus 5 K by chance, they can also work as your storage switch.  The N5K is able to perform almost all of the same services as MDS fabric and is fully supported.

    Kind regards

  • UCS Fiber Channel FI for San switch wiring & config

    My question is about the correct wiring & vSAN configuration by the UCS FI switch San (Cisco MDS).

    Currently my wiring is as follows:

    Fi1 port 25 - SW1 port 3

    Fi1 port 26 - SW2 port 3

    Fi2 port 25 - SW1 port 4

    Fi2 port 26 - SW2 4 port

    On the side of the switch San, our guys of storage configured vlan10 SW1 and SW2 as vlan20. For this reason, I was not able to have a vSAN by FI, I read is recommended, because the VLAN switch cross FIs. Now, when I created vHBAs I have 4 vHBAs per server, 2 by IFS by vlan if I want redundancy with a switch or a loss of FI.

    Question: Is this the correct configuration on the side of the SAN switch? Do I actually create 4 vHBAs per server? I do not have my incorrect wiring & I should just be linking FI1 to SW1 on two ports & FI2 to SW2?

    Help or advice would be appreciated!

    ~ Tara

    Hi Tara,

    There are two ways of wiring of your SAN infrastructure.  It boils down to a design decision. Traditionally the SAN admins prefer to keep their separate/isolated tissue.  In this design THAT MDS-1 only connect to FI - A and MDS-2 would connect only to the FI - B.

    Another option is to connect each MDS at each END.  This gives each FI SAN fabric access and allows to create double VSANS (that exists on each FI) rather than separate them.

    You don't need four vHBAs by UCS Server - some adapters support no more than two in any case.   What you do is create two vHBA by the Service profile, each host will have access both to VSAN 10 and 20.  What you can do is to shift your tissue of vHBA while 1/2 access your Service VSAN 10 via FI - profiles and the other half access VSAN 10 FI - B.  This will help to distribute the load accordingly.

    E.g.

    First 1/2 of SPs

    vHBA0 - VSAN10 - fabric-A

    vHBA1 - VSAN20 - fabric-B

    1/2 second of SPs

    vHBA0 - VSAN20 - fabric-A

    vHBA1 - VSAN10 - fabric-B

    As you can see a bit of a manual balancing can act.  The best scenario would be to isolate (re-cable) to your network SAN fabrics according to the traditional SAN design above.

    Kind regards

  • Cannot see all files on external drives (external HARD drive / flashdrives)

    I do not see any folder on my external hard drive, I know that these files exist because it still shows how the same amount of space remaining left on this drive. Is the same for all flashdrives I plug it into my laptop

    Edit * directories to the folders still exist, I can access when I type in my address bar, but I can't see the icon to click on it.

       

    Hello

    Windows 7 sometimes has trouble seeing external drives. Found one potential than me and other solution is to download and install the freeware Aomei Partition Assistant application, download it here: http://download.cnet.com/AOMEI-Partition-Assistant-Standard-Edition/3000-18512_4-75118871.html?tag=mncol;1 (only use the Direct download link).

    Once installed, go to the readers in question and one both select and select Properties. It is her, no formatting or partitioning required. Just select the drive is often enough to get Windows 7 to recognize.

  • VTP on UCS?

    Hi all

    I need to create about 100 VLANS on link bottom-up clusters interconnection by UCS fabric nexus 7K, impossible to find a way get UCS learning VLANS use VTP or something like that. I have prepared the list of commands to run with CLI, that's still a lot of work, because according to each create vlan command, I need to add 'exit' command to return to the previous mode, otherwise the next command ' create a vlan "won't work not - different from the switches to the Cat.

    blade system UCS does support VTP? What is the best way to create a VLAN that much?

    Thank you

    UCS does not DRIFT support under this item.

    I suggedt make you a little script in your Notepad and paste it on the fabric of interconnection CLI.
