• 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.

• UCS C200 RAID solution

  Hello

  I hope for your help about the technical question about the RAID.

  We bought a server in a rack of Cisco UCS C200. Now I looking for information on the best RAID solution in our case.

  The question:

  As I understand it, there is an integrated RAID solution: Intel ICH10R in UCS C200 server. We use this RAID configuration now and it works OK. However, we wonder if it is worth installing the PCIe controller (we have HP Smart Array P410 (ATA/dis2) card). We use currently 4 SATA and RAID drives works as expected, but we are interested in, if there are all the advantages of the separate RAID controller card. Above all, we are interested of performance benefits as we plan to have a lot of disk writes (records call - about 10-20 calls per hour, lasting 2 minutes on average). We would be happy to stay with RAID integrated if it works stable. On the other hand, we will install the above mentioned Intel RAID card if you say that it would be the best solution about the reliability and wear of the disc.

  I would be grateful for any comments.

  Kind regards

  Vytas

  Vytas,

  Your question is probably down to RAID levels supported for each card.  The performance of each should be relavitley the same, so I would not concentrate on that.

  The only supported RAID controllers are listed here and must be purchased from Cisco:

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/unified_computing/UCS/c/HW/C200M1/install/RAID.html#wp1015625

  "Others' work, but you'd be yourself if you encountered problems with TAC.

  The integrated Intel ICH10R card supports up to four SATA using RAID0 (striped) or RAID1 (mirror) drives.

  If you need one RAID5, 10 or more, then you must a MegaRAID controller to do.

  All RAID controllers provided by Cisco are heavily on trial and could be your best option for reliability and performance.

  Kind regards

• 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 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

• 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!

  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.

• 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.

• 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

• VXLAN on UCS: IGMP with Catalyst 3750, 5548 Nexus, Nexus 1000V

  Hello team,

  My lab consists of Catalyst 3750 with SVI acting as the router, 5548 Nexus in the vpc Setup, UCS in end-host Mode and Nexus 1000V with segmentation feature enabled (VXLAN).

  I have two different VLAN for VXLAN (140, 141) to demonstrate connectivity across the L3.

  VMKernel on VLAN 140 guests join the multicast fine group.

  Hosts with VMKernel on 141 VLAN do not join the multicast group.  Then, VMs on these hosts cannot virtual computers ping hosts on the local network VIRTUAL 140, and they can't even ping each other.

  I turned on debug ip igmp on the L3 Switch, and the result indicates a timeout when he is waiting for a report from 141 VLAN:

  Is there a way to check why the hosts on 141 VLAN are joined not successfully?  port-profile on the 1000V configuration of vlan 140 and vlan 141 rising and vmkernel are identical, except for the different numbers vlan.

  Thank you

  Trevor

  Hi Trevor,

  Once the quick thing to check would be the config igmp for both VLAN.

  where did you configure the interrogator for the vlan 140 and 141?

  are there changes in transport VXLAN crossing routers? If so you would need routing multicast enabled.

  Thank you!

• create the virtual machine from windows NT 4 server with adaptec raid 5

  I have an old Dell (1998) server running windows NT 4.0 sp6a.  He had a raid 5 configuration using the controller raid adaptec SCSI 2940.  2 discs failed who broke the raid set.  I had a disk recovery company to recover the data and they have scratched off readers and gave me a SATA with all volumes.  I found a procedure to create a virtual hard disk (.vhd) and then converted to a hard and used to create a virtual machine in VMware workstation 7.  When I turn on the virtual machine, it begins the process of starting windows, shows the boot menu, select normal or mode VGA, goes through the process of NTdetect, display processor and memory but then gives a BSOD with the message inaccessible_boot_device.

  I changed the hard to affect the buslogic ddb.adaptertype, but it gave me the same problem.

  is there a different driver that I need for an adaptec raid controller or if the typical SCSI drivers should work?  If the typical SCSI drivers should work, so my problem might be in my Boot.ini because it shows that he is supposed to start on the partition (4) and this sata drive may not have scores exactly as they were on the raid configuration.  I tried to mount the volumes not in read-only mode, but the partition that I need to change the boot.ini file is partition (2) what mapping VMware won't let me open mode not readonly.  whenever I have, select it and it opens the partition (1) mode not readonly.

  I know this sounds complicated then I hope I described with precision.

  Hello
  I live in Germany, but my internal clock seems to be adapted to the New York Times.
  Very useful, because most repairs or recovery to the VMware is done the evening or at night.
