• Assign the profile to a server blade using script

  I had a UCS workshop this morning with one of my clients, and he asked me if there is a way to develop a script to remove the profle of one of the blades and re - assign a different profile for the same lame.

  Thanks for your input in advance!

  Should be possible.

  Take a look at some of the scripts available on the Cisco Developer Network site, using the API of the UCS:

• Set permission org vlan

  Hello

  I'm working on the deployment of new virtual LANs to my UCS Central with the UCS PowerTool Central. Anyone know how I can configure vlan org permissions?

  I know how I can put it on the console, but I can't find the cmdlet for powershell

  Control console:

  Connect with resources mgr
  org MyOrg scope
  create a vlan-enabled dmz-vlan-1234

  Thank you

  Mike

  Mike,

  I think this will help. This is how you can set the permission of the org. We will use ' root/my_org' and 'myvlan_11' as an example:

  Get-UcsCentralOrg-root | Get-UcsCentralOrg-name "my_org" - LimitScope | Add-UcsCentralFabricVlanReq-name 'my_vlan_11 '.

  You can also use the following tool to help you establish a correlation between actions in the GUI to cmdlets.

• WWPN query values

  Y at - it a way to query all the WWPN's on my frame? I'm looking to automate certain zoning and Group creation.

  I did some research on Google, but I don't get great results...

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi Jay,.

  Ah ok I see that you use UCSM.  You can use the Cisco UCS PowerTool to quickly retrieve information from name WWN (http://developer.cisco.com/web/unifiedcomputing/pshell-download) of all the blades in UCSM. The two commands below will provide you with the necessary information:

  SE connect-Ucs
  Get-UcsServiceProfile-instance of type | Get-UcsVhba | Select Dn, Addr, NodeAddr

• Addition of vNIC to vNIC connectivity LAN via UCS Central PowerTool (BETA) strategy

  When I try to add a vNIC to a VNIC LAN connectivity strategy using the UCS Central Powertool (v0.94) I got the following error:

  everything I try, I still get the same error each time ("create/delete/change operations are not allowed").

  I use 1.2(1a) version Central UCS and UCS plant PowerTool version 0.94 (BETA)

  Maybe that post you your problem in https://communities.cisco.com/docs/DOC-53127 where are discussed other issues related to the UCS Center powershell.

• Cannot get the list of Ports on server using Powertool

  I try to get the list of Server Ports that have been activated on the FI-s using Powertool

  I use the below command and I don't get nada

  Get-UcsFabricServerCloud-Id "A" | Get-UcsServerPort - AdminState "enabled."

  Have tried without the additional options with no luck

  Get-UcsFabricServerCloud-Id "A" | Get-UcsServerPort

  The following command gives me a good performance

  Get-UcsFabricServerCloud-Id 'A '.

  On a whim, I also tried the below with no luck

  Get-UcsFiLanCloud-Id "A" | Get-UcsUplinkPort - IfRole 'server '.

  Any help appreciated.

  As for my other answer, you'd better start searching for the network element.  In this case, I'm looking for ports that are of the type "ether" and have an Interface to 'server '.

• Get links from speed negotiated CF using Cisco Powertool

  I can get the speed of the uplinks to network on the FI-s Cisco with the command

  Get-UcsFiLanCloud-Id "A" | Get-UcsUplinkPort - AdminState 'enabled ' | ForEach-Object {$_.adminspeed}

  However, there is no option to get the speed negotiated in the rising Fibre Channel on the Cisco FI - s. There is no property AdminSpeed of the output of the command below

  Get-UcsFiSanCloud-Id "A" | Get-UcsFcUplinkPort - AdminState "enabled."

  Is it possible to get the negotiated speed of the CF links? If so, please provide the command powertool.

  You can take a different approach to get them.  I said that the 'network element' cmdlet to get all the IFS, specify the 'Module' I want to get the information of (id 1 = fixed ports, code 2 = the first slot for expansion into the FI, id 3 = the second extension in the FI slot, if present), specify the FC port groups, get all of these ports and then use a select statement to filter down.  As you can see below, my FC ports are negotiated at 4gpbs.

  If you weren't aware, there is a large command called get-ucscmdletmeta.  It will help to understand how things are defined in the XML of the UCS model.

  Here are some example uses:

  Get-UcsCmdletMeta-name ucsnetworkelement-tree

  (I removed the output as it was very long, but it will give you the entire hierarchy of all classes of sup that are children of the network element, the names of XML classes for each and it suitable PowerShell verbs and names for query and manipulate classes.)

• Cloning of the areas of the UCS

  All best practice how to clone areas UCS? I have install 5 areas of UCS, with of course field of specific IP addresses, resource pools?

  XML Backup and then change in the editor is rather inconvenient?

  See the configuration is a more appropriate way

  Any suggestions are welcome

  Walter.

  Hi Walter,

  My favorite way to "clone" areas is to make a backup of my domain name 'gold' - and uncheck "keep identities."    In this way, then of the import, all ID references are the 'name' pool, but not the ID explicit.

  Then the work necessary for individual areas are limitted to:

  -Fill the pool of ExtMgmt

  -Create blocks of ID, based on 'Field ID' and other local best practices.   [Made easier with PowerTool]

  HTH,

• 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

  Kirk...
