• UCS C220 M3 raid question

  Hi all

  I have a UCS C220 M3 with 4 hard drives, when I want to create the Raid 5 is not enabled, I have only 1 or 10.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you.

  See this http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/hw/C220/ins...

  You need the software key, otherwise you will only be able to configure RAID 0,1 and 10

  "You can override this support by adding support of SAS RAID 5 with optional software key. See installing a key Module of software RAID for Embedded RAID 5 screens. »

• UCS C220 Virtual Drive configuration Error

  Hello

  I have been encountering a problem while creating a virtual drive of two hard drives and the RAID configuration on them.

  Hopefully, I can continue to create VD to the CLI than GUI without error. But, do I need to worry?

  I couldn't find much in troubleshooting on the error as well. Attached screenshot of error.

• Insertion/thanks to the RAID controller plug in PCIe card in a UCS C220 M3, rather than embeded RAID controller?

  Hello!!

  We have a UCS C220 M3 server with a 1 TB SAS hard drive and a controller RAID embeded, like this:

  1	UCS-HDD1TI2F212	1 TB SAS 7.2 K rpm 3.5 inch HDD/hot plug/disc horse sleigh
  1	UCSC-RAID-ROM15	Embedded SW RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 4 SAS/SATA ports

  If I add this controller RAID PCI card to my UCS server:

  UCS-RAID-9266CV =

  MegaRAID 9266CV-8i w/TFM + Super CAP

  US $ 1,686.00

  Going to work with her, ignoring the old RAID embeded it configured?

  The question is that VMWARE is not supported controllers shipped my RAID, so I want to add an external RAID PCI controller to support VMWARE.

  I don't know if it will work.

  Thank you!!

  Rodrigo,

  The embeded controller is built and not removable, it is integrated into each C220/C240. The units are designed to operate with PCIe controllers and mezzanine table when it is properly configured.

  Once you install the controller of the SIPC, you will need to do the following:

  (1) move the conectors mini SAS to the motherboard in the LSI PCIe controller

  (2) make sure that the slot PCIe what optionrom is enabled in the BIOS. (newer systems have their OptionROM disabled in the uninhabited slots (from the factory). If you do not see the OptionROM for the POST, then go back into the BIOS and enable the slot PCIe OptionROM

  (3) while you are in the BIOS, you can thus turn off Patsburg UCS regulatory table (the table embeded). It is of no use at this stage that you removed the cables up to the HARD drive Bay. It is also misleading if left active, you will see the configuration of arrays of LSI utility appear twice during POST. Time for the embeded and once again for the PCIe LSI controller.

• UCS C220 M3 beep because of the failed disk in raid 5

  Hello

  I have a server UCS C220 with 8 disks configured in RAID 5, which will beep continuously with 1 sec to 1 dry ground - indication of a problem of disk raid. Verification through CIMC, one of the drives (slot-7) is coming as faulty with the advice to "Reinstall or replace the storage disk. I have referred a case of TAC for this, got the disc replacement and installed. Suggested documentation its hot so just shot old and installed a new.

  Now, the new drive is also to give the same status in the MMIC web UI. It must be disabled/re-permits to operate? In the MMIC web interface, under "Storage-> LSI MegaRAID SAS (Slot-2) 9266-8i-> Info physical disk-> Phy-Drive # 7", all the 'Actions' are grayed out i.e. ' overall immediate replacement ","Make dedicated immediate replacement","to prepare for the withdrawal. " This is true for the other disks work 7 institutions - all actions greyed out. I am logged in as an Admin user and it's a new box.

  Also, is there a way to stop the ringing while the issue is under review? Its annoying to others working in there.

  Screenshots with the new drive in:

  

  

  Thank you

  Rick.

  Did you go to the WebBios to check the status of the disk in the view of the RAID controller?

  To get there, you must press CTRL + H at the start, at the prompt of the LSI.

  There, check if the disc is already on the Bay, otherwise it will have to be added manually.

  You can also stop the alarm. Select the controller properties > continue clicking Next until you get here:

  

• Cannot configure RAID on UCS C220 M4

  I'm trying to setup a new M4 C220 however the option press to enter the WebBIOS RAID never appears.  I also went in MMIC and the only options in there set up RAID 0, 1 or 10 However, we want to use RAID 5.  I tried to reinstall my readers and my RAID controller.

  Hi Cameron

  Which option RAID you bought?

  Is based on the RAID card, you can only create RAID 0, 1, 10

  http://www.Cisco.com/c/en/us/products/servers-unified-computing/UCS-c-SE...

  See Cisco UCS C220 M4 Rack Server Data Sheet

  Modular Cisco 12 G SAS RAID controller
  You can choose the Cisco 12 G RAID SAS controller, which plugs into a dedicated RAID controller card slot. This RAID controller supports RAID 0, 1, 10 (without option FBWC) and supports up to RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 6, 50, 60 (with FBWC option).

• UCS C220 M3 custom problem after installing ESXi 5.1.0 Cisco

  Hello world

  I m using a Cisco UCS C220 M3 when I tried to install ESXi 5.1.0 custom Cisco after complete the entire process and restart the server. The ESXi has not started it appeared as if there is no operating system.

  In addition, before installing ESXi I configured a HDD in RAID 0, initialized the RAMDisk and chosen as a pilot.

  Hoping someone could help me.

  Llianovich,

  Unfortunately, the on-board controller is not supported with ESXi.  I saw other people using this controller for VMware and makes the work but the behavior is very random and it could work or fail at any time. It is recommended to use one of the controllers of basic PCI or Mezzanine by the ESXi (see c220 m3 datasheet below)

• How can Cisco ucs c220 m4 I start with 12g cisco sas controller? 2012 UEFI Server installation issues

  first time with cisco ucs c220 m4, check my photos

  You have a VD 11TB.

  Only way to start on this is by using UEFI.

  You need to activate UEFI in the boot order.

  Anything over 2 TB and more 4 K sector size readers require the UEFI boot option.

  BIOS will not process the VDs when manages UEFI.

  Kirk...

  Summary for those who seek a similar question:

  • Client a large VD created, 11TB
  • 2 TB and more, 4K sector drives, require boot UEFI + GPT, cannot use the legacy/MBR
  • To set startup to local HD option, that referenced the PCI-E Slot, the raid controller was in (HBA slot in this case)
  • UEFI mode, can't score a VD as "bootable disk / startup.
  • You will see not the VD/raid controller appear in the 'real' boot order during the OS install.
  • Once the installation of the OS compatible UEFI is made, it will create a UEFI boot to the operating system "Windows Boot Manager" entry in our case.
  • After the next reboot, if you check your boot order, you should see this UEFI OS boot manager entry.

• Warning of the UCS C220 M3 FlexFlash

  Hello

  We have UCS C220 M3, hosting Unified Communications application CUCM CUC IM & P UCCX.

  In CICM / storage: Cisco FlexFlash appears with a warning "Raid degraded" because there isn't a single card SD provided by default on the server. We have no use of it and it is in "disconnected" State.

  Q: is it possible to disable this warning

  Hi rich,

  You have the operating system installed on the SD card? If you do, you will need to install the second SD card and send the hypervisor partition.  If you do not use the SD card and you want to get rid of this message, you will need to remove the SD card from the server and restart the MMIC (see release notes below).

• UCS C220 M3 - cannot install Ubuntu 14.04 OS

  Hi all

  I'm new to Cisco servers and we bought 3 servers UCS C220 M3.

  For one of them, I would like to had installed an operating system Ubuntu (14.04). I tried hard but unsuccessfully to install the operating system on the server.

  On this server, I have only one physical hard drive, because I'm not really interested in getting the RAID on this server. Initially, I started on a USB with Ubuntu image and installation worked fine. Then, I tried to boot from the hard drive, but it was impossible to find the hard drive in the boot menu.

  You have no idea about it? I suspect that this is because the RAID of LSI sotfware controller is enabled and one thing to note is that I have not installed FlexFlash Cisco's SD card. Is - this mandatory? When I try to configure RAID 0, so I'm not able to install ubuntu (impossible to detect the drive with the Ubuntu Installer).

  Thanks for any help!

  If you set the UCS SW storage battery in AHCI mode, Setup see your local hard drive then?

  What is the hard disk that you installed? Depending on whether you install a 32-bit or 64-bit OS and size of the disk you are installing, it may require that the UEFI boot options.

  Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI for Ubunto UEFI install help.

  If you have an installation ISO that you used to create the bootable installation USB, you might want to consider editing than the ISO via the virtual KVM, on the tab of the VM and begin your installer in this way.  This will require that a compatible version of Java to be active in your browser.

  If you do not have a longer boot disk 2 TB, you might want to consider to keep everything in legacy bios mode and avoid the complexity of UEFI which can sometimes appear.

  For drivers, these will actually be the C600 Intel or Intel AHCI drivers (depending on the mode you're looking for).

  See the Readme in ucs-cxxx-drivers.2.0.8b.iso\Linux\Storage\Intel\AHCI\Ubuntu\14.04\ AHCI driver said that the ahci driver is already provided with the operating system...

  I must stress that for Ubuntu, I see not all versions or versions of firmware that have been officially supported for the SR on board or AHCI controller.  Please visit http://www.cisco.com/web/techdoc/ucs/interoperability/matrix/matrix.html

  Although you are able to run in AHCI mode, it is not officially test/pick-up.

  In my view, the controller AHCI/PCH 6 port included with theM4 C240 is supported in Ubunto 14.04.

  Thank you

• Extremely noisy UCS C220 M4 rack server

  Hello

  I am preparing a UCS C220 M4 with windows 2012 for a customer.

  The server is extremely noisy, I mean much more than any other rack server I have ever seen.

  All the fan working at the higher rate of speed, as if the server had emergency cooling.

  The question is: is this normal? Is the broken Server? Y at - it an option to reduce the 'fan-policy '.

  And how it's done.

• Important: Redundancy lost for BE6K UCS C220 M3S PSU_REDUNDANCY

  Hello team,

  We have several deployments based on servers UCS C220 M3 (the famous BE6K) UA.

  I'm not derived from systems, I'm a guy of the voice.

  In fact, the UCS BE6K C220 M3 comes by default with a single power supply.

  However, in the MMIC, we find many times that an alert is triggered for the redundancy of power and the system LED turns into continuous light.

  Here's the warning: PSU_REDUNDANCY: PS redundancy sensor, redundancy Lost said

  We do not understand why this alert is triggered when we already know that the BE6K server contains only a power supply?

  What is a real problem or a false alarm?

  How we clear this alert?

  In fact the system LED is orange isn't bodes well from the perspective of the customer. As well as when let us it stay in the State of the orange light, we would be not only a more serious problem (and real) can happen?

  The MMIC version is: 1.5.4f

  Please notify.

  Unfortunately not (that I know) but if you go to loopholes in the Server tab, you should be able to view a summary of alerts and check what is happening.

  If it is useful, please rate... If it answers your question, please mark as well for future users.

• Installation of the CPU in server UCS C220 M3

  Hello

  I'm looking to install a cpu (UCS-CPU-E5-2643) in a UCS C220 M3. According to the documentation, I should use UCS-CPU-GREASE2 for the thermal grease. The CPU came with 2 needles - one with a blue CAP and a red. I searched through literature and can not find who's who. I'm assuming that the syringe with the Red cap is UCS-CPU-GREASE2 - is this correct?

  Thank you
