• Replacing hard drive RAID 10 (UCS-C200-M2)

  Guys,

  I'm running RAID10 on UCS C200 M2 and exchanged one of the defective drive.

  Currently, there is beep for more than 12 hours and I guess that the new drive is under reconstruction at the moment.

  In addition, physical drive status is currently on "not well configured" on CIMC. The status changes to "online" after

  the reconstruction end? Will be required reboot when the rebuild is complete?

  Please advice.

  Hello

  If the State of the reader to not configured well. You will need access to the Webbios to change online status and allow reconstruction to be undertaken.

  You will find here all the information required to set the drive to the State once again

• UCS C200 M2 could not start

  Hi all

  My Cisco UCS C200 could not start. Once checked, I found that the problem is the raid controller, the card may not work properly.

  the type of raid used controller is LSI MegaRAID 9260-4i

  can I replace this controller card with different types such as LSI MegaRAID 9260-8i

  If can, what should I do? are there concerns?

  Thank you for your kindness

  That should be fine.  See the documentation of the TA on the exact process of swapping the controller, but since they are of the same generation, just different port internal account (4 vs 8) and all RAID information is stored on the discs themselves, you should have no problem exchange controllers and imports of table on the new controller.  Once swap you controllers, host of startup, enter the optional ROM of LSI and check if the table is waiting for import (if she is not the automatic import).

  Kind regards

• UCS C200 and NIC Teaming/FailOver

  As UCS C200 with management of a 10/100 and 10/100/two interface 1000 interfaces and PCIe with 4NIC

  I want to install CUCM 8.5 is the NIC Teaming/failover supported by UCS C200 and how to set up the NIC Managment interface with failover?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  As you install apps from the CPU on the server of the UCS, speech application team listed their recommendations here.

  http://docwiki.Cisco.com/wiki/QoS_Design_Considerations_for_Virtual_UC_with_UCS#Guidelines_for_Physical_LAN_Links.2C_Trunking_and_Traffic_Sizing

  You can create a NIC teaming in the ESXi via vSphere client software for traffic from from / destined for virtual machines.

  For C200, we have only one management port and if you use the management for MMIC traffic port, switch option is not available.

  However, if you choose to use host for MMIC traffic NETWORK ports, you can set up CIMC NIC mode for 'LOM shared' which provides the NIC teaming options.

• CISCO UCS C200 M2 amber display clear on mem and warning

  Hello

  My company bought 5 units of CISCO UCS C200 M2. The servers are equipped with 2 x 6 core 2.67 GHz. The server was also equipped with 32 GB of ram. One of the shows Server alert light yellow on mem and warning on the front panel. Can someone tell what could possibly cause this problem?

  Thank you

  Hi Steve,.

  There could be a faulty MEMORY Strip on the system, in the MMIC, you can check the logs SALT (System event log) that will provide you with more details.

  I give advice you open a TAC case for this, we can take a look at the tech show and understand why accurate and if necessary replace the defective DIMM module / part (if defective).

• UCS C200 M2 R200 - 1120402W Nic will negotiate only 100 MB full

  We have a new UCS C200 M2 server running ESXi 5.0.0 and will be only neg a speed of 100 MB - tried to connect a GLC - T on a 3750 and also Port copper on 2960G - same result.

  Trying hard value speed 1000 in vSphere client produced an error:

  Operation failed, the diagnostic report: forcing 1000Mbps or faster may not be supported on this network device, please use autonegotiation call 'HostNetworkSystem.UpdatePhysicalNicLinkSpeed' to object 'networkSystem"on ESXi '172.19.99.103' failed.
  Operation failed, the diagnostic report: forcing 1000Mbps or faster may not be supported on this network device, use rather auto-negotiation

  Just use HUU to version 1.4 - no improvement.

  Thoughts, suggestions?

  Gordon,

  Can you please share the output of following ESXi

• UCS C200 Server Power Supply Question

  We make some changes in our data center and which involves electric grid.  We had to replace our Dustribution of power rack and to respond to the charge, we moved 208V, 3 phase power distribution.  Read the literature, I see that the power supply to the UCS C200 servers can operate 115V to 230V AC.

  My questions are: is it everything I have on power supply from 120V AC 208 v power supply power supply power supply?  Can I have a power running at 120 v and the other operating at 208V?  I try to avoid the closure of the server.

• MMIC UCS C200 M2 blade - cannot access

  Hi all

  I was hoping someone in this forum could help with a problem I have on a customer site. We have therefore two blades UCS C200 M2 we cannot access MMIC of. When I try to reach the IP address, the browser just sits there, but the IP address is an echo request ICMP who responded. I rebooted a systems press F2 and tried to launch the utility BIOS Setup MMIC but received a message "no attention not found" and the only option was to hit very well.

  What would cause this? And should I update the firmware? If I need to update the firmware how can I go about this...?

  In addition, these systems are running ESXi 4.1, but I believe that the version of VMware is not compatible. Could someone help me confirm this?

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  -Bobby

  Hello

  It worked before?

  If this is not the case, try resetting the MMIC or it could be a browser/java problem too. The problem exists across the browser and several pc user.

  See doc below to configure the Mmic

• UCS C200 M2 - RAID card R200-PL004 battery backup

  During the installation of a 6 G of LSI MegaRAID 9260-4i, I am invited with the statements "the battery is missing" and "Protect against data loss in the event of a server failure or power by providing emergency power to the cache."

  Can someone tell me if the backup battery (R2XX LBBU) for the LSI 6 G MegaRAID 9260 - 4i (R200-PL004) is required or simply a recommendation to avoid any loss of data during a power outage?  Ordering guide said "Battery Back-Up Option available" so I guess that's not a mandatory item for purchase.

  Please notify.

  Thank you

  C

  Hello Chad,

  BBU is optional.

• Firmware for UCS C200 M2

  I wonder if I'm missing some existing documents?

  There is not just a simple DVD I can load into the server and run all the firmware updates?

  Cisco does it provide?

  I tried to look through the site and hoped that I didn't have to enumerate all parts of my servers and have to find updates for them individually.

  The best links that I could find are attached to this message as a screenshot.

  Marco,

  Host utility upgrade can upgrade firmware for all components of material in a single step.

  It is available in download section UCS Server firmware.

• LEDs of State fault/memory system UCS C200 M2

  We have just received servers C200 M2 with 32 GB of Ram (4 * 8 GB). One of the server gives the status of fault in the front LED. Two LEDs are bright orange - led failure system and fault led memory. First two days, the servers are hanging all night and we had to restart in the morning. These last two days the servers work OK but these LEDs are permanently on.

  We would like to know the exact reasons for these lights and always the system works. How to stop these LEDs? If any body has come across this error message, please discuss the corrective actions performed by the latter.

  TIA

  Kishore

  PS. I enclose the photo of LEDs glowing serever.

  Hi Kishore,

  Please SSH in MMIC and give us the following result.

  See the version

  chassis of scope

  Is the ability of memory reported by operating system matches the memory installed capacity?

  I also suggest to open a request for service of the TAC with MMIC show tech support bundle to examine more closely the behavior.

• UCS C200 M2 - screw drive plate?

  Hi all

  I have a server of beam C200 M2 for my lab at home that came without the installed disks.

  Given that that's only laboratory work and I wanted to save money, I used my own SATA drives but I could not find the screws that are pretty slim head use without scraping the bottom of the server.

  Someone at - it a source for the screws that work or know a reference number that I can order just the screws of Cisco?

  Thank you

• How to set RAID 1 in C200-M1

  Hi, anyone knows how to implement RAID1 in UCS C200 M1?

  Thanks in advance

  Lenin

  Go into the BIOS of the server and disable the quiet start.  Once this is reboot the server and enter the LSI config during the startup process.  I think it's a ctrl-S to enter the config of the LSI.  Once you're in the config of LSI, you can set the RAID level for readers.
