• Cisco UCS 5108 add NIC to ESXi host

  Hello

  I'm quite new in the world of the UCS, so I slowly read up on it. We currently have a laboratory with a 5108 that host two of our esxi5 servers. When I say lab, I mean a configuration that is not in production yet, and if I can use it to learn right now. I just now each server I create gives me only 2 network cards to work with, so I would like to add. I have attemtpted to add a new network adapter for the service model and apply it, but I get the following error.

  "There are not enough global resources. Not enough available vNIC.

  I don't know what I'm doing wrong or if 2 is my limit.

  Thank you

  Welcome to Dennis,

  The quantity of NICs you can create depending on the model of the adapter.

  E.g.

  See the diagram below for the virtual interfaces supported by the adapter model

  

  When you use the VIC M81 maximum interfaces that you create also depends on the number of links between IOM (chassis) and interconnections of fabric).  56 is assuming that you have 4 links of each fabric of interconnection of each IOM.

  In addition, blades of large width (B250, B440) can support two adapters mezz, so you can adjust the vnic/vhba max.

  Kind regards

  Anyone any idea?

  TACS have been super help full, but the outcome is still not resolved.  I noticed it was something to do with an older version of the firmware (1.42) but we spend elsewhere who and no matter what solution offer doesn't change anything.

• B440 M2 SLES boot fom SAN 11sp3 fails with "disk error hard gruber" on NetApp FAS3240 lun

  Hello, gurus

  I'm doing POC for client trying to deploy SAP.  Try B440M2 starting VIC1280 2 x directly from 3240 NetApp via FC.

  Prepared 450 GB lun 0 on FAS3240, he mapped OK. In the political profile of UCS for created B440M2 service startup to boot from lun 0.

  SP3 GUI SLES 4 SAP 11 installation ISO found thin installation, lun 0 path very well, but, when the system goes to the reboot disc it does not start

  with a few «grub error hard drive» 2.2.1(d) UCSM.

  He works the config? Or, get sth to make B440 SLES LUN 0 with OS just install.

  Rgds, Yuri

  When your installation detects the lun and installs, okay, that means, this FC zoning, and lun mapping/masking is ok.

  Boot failure: something might be wrong with your boot strategy?

  Can you please send your startup strategy? and the vhba of your PC?

  BTW.

  -is - this classic SAP or HANA?

• M81KR map B440 M1

  According to my knowledge, there are two cards of M81KR in M1 B440 who both have 2x10G connection to the chassis in the background. I have 2 quick questions on cards M81KR B440 M1 blade.

  1 are - these two cards work as active / standby?  Or a 10G connection is active and the other 10G connecyion's watch on each card M81KR?
  2. in addition, please could you tell balancing traffic on the strategy of 6140XP blade and failover of the UCS for these two cards?

  Thank you very much!

  Double interfaces 10 gig on each of the M81KR, s works as a network ethernet card performance, supporting the unloading State and active mode / standby in native mode.  No driver needed for operations liaison active / standby.  All traffic is routed path ensures the active pinned bond of loss od, it is proposed to come back when the connection is restored.

• S30 Config UCS

  We received a S30 and somewhere along the line someone apparently had the brilliant idea of raid SSD and a hard disk of 1 TB in a single volume on the blue ports.

  So in the boot order that one disc shows as "UCS: Intel Volume_0001" or something similar.

  In the Advanced Configuration of UCS, the first two ports show how Intel Volume_0001.

  I am assuming that they could not accomplish this in software because they have created the drives C and D, and a hidden partition on this volume.

  Question is how did do that, I don't see any RAID quick post to make changes. I turned on all the relevant BIOS including settings disable the quick start, but all messages that appear are too fast to read.

  CTRL + I or Ctrl + H seem to have no effect.

  Thank you

  Thank you, somehow they corrected, although they have to take it back to the warehouse. Since I don't know what was the exact solution I will mark this as the solution.

• vFoglight with Cisco UCS

  Hello all,.
  We are looking for Cisco UCS for our ESX env. and I was wondering if someone was running vFoglight UCS and had problems.
  Or if someone of Quest/Vizioncore knows of any problem or future integration planned with UCS.

  Thank you
  Craig Dieck

  Craig, I know of many clients running the Cisco USC with VMware and they are very happy. There is no known issue with vFoglight perspective. VFoglight hardware monitoring currently able to extract any platform SNMP information. If you are looking for a vFoglgith to pull information from the physical ESX servers directly (not SNMP) you will need to ask for a discussion of the roadmap with your representative local of the quest.

  Inform the product manager for the platform you are using and what you want to be monitored and displayed...

• Visio icon - Logical UCS

  Hi all

  I am looking for logical UCS visio icon and can't seem to find them, such as 6100 fabric interconnect and 5108 chassis, like this

  

  I found this link, but there are the icons of only physical, not logical.

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/products/HW/prod_cat_visios.html

  I also found this link, the PMS 3015 has many logical icons, but I couldn't find the above.

  http://www.Cisco.com/Web/about/AC50/AC47/2.html

  Just a suggestion, have a single Web page for logical and physical icons and clear descriptions, add dates for update and consolidation for the logic of the product icons. This will help to find the icons much easier.

  Thank you

  Ming

  Hi Ming,

  Thank you very much for your patience while we looked in the files icon.  Here's an update.

  • We checked the files in the zip file and they are not empty, but the designs are very small and if the drawing opens at about 30% of zoom, it would be easy do not agree on the drawing.  Sorry for the inconvenience.
  • In any case we are downloading a new zip with versions expanded drawings for the 6100 (interconnection of fabric) and 5108 (server chassis) so that they are more visible on the page. Of course, you can resize in Visio to what size you need.
  • We contacted the owners of the areas of Visio files on the site of icons of network topology to http://www.cisco.com/web/about/ac50/ac47/2.html regarding:

  -Download Visio stencils for the 6100 and 5108.

  -Your comment to facilitate icons: have a single web page for logical and physical charms with clear descriptions, dates of update and groupings of products for logical icons.

• UCS C460 M2 - error 1902 during the firmware upgrade

  Hello!

  A few days ago, I could upgrade the firmware 1.5 (7 c) to 1.5(8a) and the BIOS to version 1.5.4a to 1.5.4b using file ucs-c460-huu - 1.5.8 has mapped via KVM using an old windows xp with java 1.7. In fact, this upgrade would allow access of latest java KVM, something that was lost a few months ago.

  On Monday, I did the same procedure on an exact server and everything was fine, but this server cannot update firmware.

  I get error 1902, described here:

  https://Quickview.cloudapps.Cisco.com/QuickView/bug/CSCui18044

  But there is not something to solve this problem.

  Any ideas please?

  Concerning

  David

  David,

  A few steps to try:

  -Turn off the server, remove the power supply and press and hold power for 30 seconds. Retry the upgrade.

  -Restart the MMIC before the upgrade.

  -Try the upgrade using a physical USB vs vMedia

  Let me know what questions you have and please share the results.

  Thank you

• Cisco UCS 260 M 2 5.5 U3 - custom image and compatibility

  TAC has a customer turned and pointed toward a compatibility table for an installed UCS - C 260M 2, stating that the firmware of the UCS and the latest version of Vmware is not supported.

  They are suggesting that the client moves to fimware 1.5 (9) and they use a customized image of Cisco for Vmware.

  This facility is for UC/EAC, so I have to make sure that the versions supported in the docwiki for these products as well is the Vmware version.

  http://www.Cisco.com/Web/TechDoc/UCS/interoperability/matrix/matrix.html

  The drop down menu shows Vmware 5.5 U3 is a supported version and I find that 5.5 is supported in the dockwiki. So far so good.

  However, when I try to find a custom image for 5.5 U3 image only I find it:

  https://my.VMware.com/Web/VMware/details?ProductID=353&downloadGroup=OEM...

  VMware 5.5 U3a. The version of the driver specified on this page do not match driver versions indicating the interoperability matrix must be used.

  First, is there a customized image of Cisco for 5.5 U3, could someone point me to this image so that these versions of the drivers are the same?

  Secondly, can I use ISO customized Cisco to upgrade a vanilla install Vmware 5.1 U3?

  -GDR

  Greetings.

  The Cisco Custom images are just a collection of pilots who were up-to-date at the time wherever it has been presented to VMware.  It is expected that iso custom will exactly match the interoperability matrix (it could have at the time, it was created), but at least provide newer drivers than what is usually installed in the general VMware releases.

  The interoperability matrix will list the specific driver, i.e. igb driver intel 1 GB network interface.  Download you the version of the driver for VMware site and install adapt you to the requirements notified by the interoperability matrix.

  You should be able to use a custom Cisco ISO to upgrade.  When your custom installation ISO analyzes your existing system, it will see a higher version of the drivers/VIBs and update those.  The Cisco with custom isos are simply the original VMware updated versions the drivers injected into them.

  Thank you

• 6248 FI Cisco's UCS with Cisco catalyst 2960 connectivity

  In our environment, UCS, connects the two fabric as a Cisco Nexus 9 k switch upstream with vPC and it works well. But we need to isolate some virtual servers on the blades of the UCS on an entirely separate DMZ switch which is Cisco catalyst 2960.

  (1) so can we connect cables separate physical twinax of FI uplink ports to catalyst 2960 and connectivity to the servers in the DMZ keeping YEW to nexus connectivity as it is?

  (2) in this case, as there are 2 switches to nexus core 1 and 2 so we will require 2 cisco catalyst 2960 for disjoint such a network? or otherwise we can connect A FI and FI B to one on his 2 numbers 2960 switch. Gig SFP ports + 10?

  (3) also suggest things must be taken in charge, the best guides practice or an illustration in this context.

  The assignment is static and cannot be changed.

  location 1 - uplink 1

  slot 2 - uplink 2...

  If a property has no blade, the corresponding uplink is not used and that can not be changed!

  This dedication of uplinks of IOM is of course a lot of resources: cables, ports on FI, allowed port,...

• Error UCS Manager Console KVM to open after Java Update

  After the upgrade to version 1.7_21 Java I tried to access the KVM console from within the UCS Manager (v2.1 (1 d)) and get the error message:

  "Cannot run the program"C:\\Program": CreateProcess = 2 error, the system cannot find the file specified."

  I tried to remove installed applications and applets as well as temporary files from the Java console inside, but it does not solve the problem. We also tried to launch the console KVM in KVM Manager and that works very well. Everything works correctly when you run Java 1.7_17.

  Everyone knows about this problem since upgrade to 1.7_21?

  Thank you.

  In the meantime, you can install Java in a directory path that has no space to work around the problem. For example: c:\Java\jre7

  This will give you access KVM again.

• VSM UCS Fagot, CPS-UCS-2RU-K9

  When we buy VSM7.5 on UCS Bundle CPS-UCS-2RU-K9, do we buy VMware Hyperviosr / VMware licenses separately?

  OR is the bundle includes VMware hypervisor as well?

  Your partner Cisco PhySec ATP or the Cisco should be able to clarify this for you, but I think that SKU number is for a VSM bare metal on the chassis Setup.
