UCS Server beyond the 3 year support

Hello

I'm in the early stages of the review of some Cisco servers.  Specifically the M3 UCS C240.  At this point, I'm just setting up online for an approximate price, I have not yet hired a partner. I see Setup options, SMARTnet 24 x 7 x 4 is available for one year or three years.  My application requires that I find the material with an option to support for 5 years.

If I buy now for 3 years, I will be able to extend my SmartNet contract annually after that? Assuming, of course, the product was not as eol.

And to estimate the costs of the year 4/5, should I just look at CON-OSP-C420M3 part number, which seems to be about $660 online.  New - ballpark prices only at this time.

Thank you

Bill

Bill,

Yes, you can extend your support at any time.  The purchase comes by default with 3 years of support.  Even when the EoL is announced, there is always a period where it is sold.  When the notice of completion of sale is reached, then we have 5 years from this period to the full TAC support on all products.

All the details of our support policy are here:

http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/products/products_end-of-life_policy.html

Be careful when you are 'parking ball' cost.  Cisco is well known for our delta between the list and the cost of actual sale.  Make sure that engage you a partner to get when we look through each salesperson in comparable prices.

Best of Luck and let know us if you have any questions during your comparison.

Kind regards

Robert

    This is not supported! I guess you want to do vmotion and transfer your Dell to UCS Server VM. Just configure the appropriate network connectivity (vlan UCS to Northbound Dell server) and it should work.

  • What is the procedure of upgrading since version 7.1 of CUCM (MCS Server) call manager to version 10.2 of CUCM (on the server of the UCS)

    Hello

    What is the procedure to upgrade the call manager since version 7.1 of CUCM (MCS Server) to version 10.2 of CUCM (on the server of the UCS), please let me know the steps to what would be the backup procedures and upgrades.

    Concerning

    Gerard

    I suggest reading this guide to make sure that you have prepared your environment to support the first 10.x. The link below also contains the path to upgrade to 10.0 (1).

    One of the ways to do this is:

    1 / apply cooling cop upgrade file on all servers in the cluster.

    2 / upgrade the cluster to 8.6 (2). Make a backup of the cluster.

    3 / build a cluster of servers 8.6 (2) on the virtual machines and assign them the same host name and the IP address of the cluster hardware. (You may need to keep these on a separate network until turn off hardware machines)

    4 / restoration of the backup of the pile of material on the VM cluster.

    5 / upgrade cluster VM to 10.0 (1).

    Can I know if I want to install Hyper-V server on the server C240M4, the Host Configuration utility stand? any procedure and how to install it?

    • To install the Hyper-V role, Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition or Datacenter edition is required.
    • Hyper-V is supported only on x 86-64 Windows variants
    • It can be installed until the system is full or basic installation.
    • The stand-alone Hyper-V Server variant does not require an existing installation of Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2. Stand-alone installation is called Microsoft Hyper-V Server for non - R2 and Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 version.

  • WHS 2011 - server on the partition backup?

    Can anyone offer some advice please?

    I have a server running the 2011 WHS, for years, that I've been running with 2x2TB mirrored drives, SSD for the OS a 250GB for Server backup and a Bay empty.

    Yesterday, I removed the 250 GB drive and fitted with 2 drives of 2 TB more.

    I had planned to partition them the two 1.8/0.2 using one of 200 GB as a backup of Server partitions and the 1.8 in sense reverse for data storage.

    WHS seems to want to use the entire 2 TB as a backup server, which is not only a waste of space, but let me not able to put my other mirrored drive.

    Is it possible to use a partition as a backup server?

    Do I still need a backup server, if I cloned my SSD on the old 250 GB drive every 6 months for the recovery after a disaster that would be good enough, I kept only the SSD in my backup of server in any case the other disks are mirrored.

  • User logged on the server over the RDP session - Small Business Server 2011 x 64

    We have a Small Business Server 2011 standard x 64.  We have the configuration of the remote desktop on port forwarding in the firewall to allow a user to connect to this server using RDP remote desktop.  This isn't a server terminal server.  No, there are no available Remote Desktop Manager settings.

    When the user connects through the RDP application and connects to the server.  If the users session is idle for 15 minutes, the user is connected to the server (not disconnected the RDP session, just to connect to the server).  The user must log into the server every time that happens.  We tried adjusting the Remote Desktop Session Host settings and changed the Session time limits, but this isn't the parameter we are looking for.  We have looked extensively through the default domain group policy and see nothing active to this behavior.  We examined local group policies and studied the session time limits in the user and computer configuration > policies > models Admin > RDP >... session host and it is has anything configured here which could trigger this behavior.

    Yet once, it connects the disabled user, not closing the remote session.  We have also examined the user account for this user and looked for resume posting require logon settings (although with SBS, it is not even there to adjust the display settings).  I had partner Microsoft supports focus on this during one hour (he didn't use too much of my time to support) and they have been unable to resolve within an hour.

  • Repair Windows installation will not continue beyond the mark of 26 min during fill the stage of installation

    Hi there all your PC gurus

    PC fails to complete a repair of Windows XP installation. It does not go beyond the mark of 26 min during the installation phase ends. You can still move the mouse around, however installation is not continue beyond this point.

    The 2 following errors are received:
    Error installing com +.
    "of the subcomponent com + threw an exception during the processing of the OC_complete_installation Setup message.

    PC is a Dell Vostro 1510, it is only a couple of years.

    Can someone please?

    The initial problem was that the PC did not go beyond the page of Windows to start upward. So I had to do an installation of the Dell windows XP disk repair. But I couldn't boot from the CD, (even after changing in the system BIOS boot order) to work around this problem, so I had to disable the boot on the other upward options being - HDD, USB etc. so only if it start from the disc.

    After completing the first part of the repair facility, the PC restarted to complete the second part of the installation, however I got an error message "the Kernel32.dll file is possibly corrupt. The header checksum does not match the checksum calculated.

    After some research, I solved this problem by using the windows recovery console to extract a new copy of the kernel32.dll from the windows XP disc. It seemed to work. The second part of the window repair facility restarted successfully, but now the problem is it will not complete installation, it gets stuck/not will not go beyond the 26 minute mark during the phase of "complete installation."

    It has been full of hiccups. I'm not a person of computer tech at all, but have managed to get so far at this stage.  Can someone please please help, very much appreciated.
    Thanks :)

  • Is a UPC (Unified Port Controller) of the FI 6200 supports multi protocol port simultaneously?

    Hello a good person.

    Is a UPC (Unified Port Controller) of the FI 6200 supports multi protocol ports simultaneously?

    For example, the second UPC has 1/9-16. Configure the ports like these? 1/9-10 for the server ports, 1/11-12 for the uplink ports, 1/13-14 for FCoE Uplink ports, 1/15 and 16 for the Uplink FC ports and so on. I know that Cisco Documents describe a port can be configured as server port, FC, FCoE... I "don't not interesting in these gross comments."

    Thanks in advance.

    Paul

    In UCS unified configuration of ports is controlled by a scroll bar, as shown here.

    There is a fixed configuration for FI ports, then another to the expansion Module. FCoE and Ethernet ports are both type Ethernet from a unified point of view port, CF requires that you select the ports you want to be FC ports.

    All ports to the left of the slider bar will be Ethernet, which can also be configured for FCoE, and everything to the right will be CF.  So to answer your specific scenario above Yes. BUT with a caveat.

    If you have moved the cursor between port 14 and 15 then left would be Ethernet can be configured as a Server Port, Port Uplink or FCoE port and ports 15 and 16 could be configured as FC ports.  BUT the downside would be that ports 17-32 would also be FC ports and you couldn't get to the Ethernet ports later.  If the port configuration is adjacent to ports on fixed ports, as well as on the extension module.

    Best practice is to determine how many FC ports you need and configure each component accordingly.

    Here are some details on the guidelines for the unified configuration of Ports.

  • UCS connection to the existing network fabric

    Hello

    I'm trying to get some new equipment:

    2 - chassis with 4 blades of each

    2 6248UP

    1 - C240G - x 2 agile

    2 - 3750 x 10gig expansion.

    Currently, I have 3750's in a battery and intend to add these new 3750's existing battery. Can I connect the 10 g on the 3750 x directly to the fabric of interconnection to bring my new equipment into my existing network?  I thought that this would be considered UCS Uplink Ethernet Ports.

    The reason why I ask, I didn't know that I could not connect servers other than Cisco (IBM with 10 g cards) directly on the fabric and caused my second guess.

    Thank you.

    Hi mjensen

    Fabric interconnection ports are 10 GB interfaces, then Yes, you can connect to the Cisco 3750 Switch via 10Gig ports.   The only thing you want to make sure is that when plug you these devices in transceivers for use based on both ends. If you want to know the list of radios supported on the UCS 6248 take a look at the link below.

    Supported transceivers

    http://www.Cisco.com/c/en/us/TD/docs/unified_computing/UCS/HW/6200-insta...

    You're right about UCSM you want to configure these ports Uplink Ethernet ports!

    Now, the reason why you can not just plug another server ucs to the fabric of interconnection as you IBM server, because the interconnection of fabric does not work like a regular switch.   Only one UCS server can be managed via the GUI UCSM.

    Please let me know if it helps.

  • After update-> 5.3 4.3: unknown file a LSN..., beyond the end of the paper to...

    We use a BerkeleyDB for about six years in production, store ~ 100 GB of data in db files ~ 500 in an environment. The application uses the Perl API to access the BerkeleyDB.

    After a week of tests, we have improved our production server of BerkeleyDB 4.3.29 to 5.3.21 yesterday, running on the db db_upgrade files. While the upgrade went well, since then, we have the following problem:
    To access some database files to write for the first time, db_put fails with the error message:

    unknown file a LSN..., beyond the end of the paper to...
    Commonly caused by the displacement of a database of databases environment
    to another without erasing the LSNs of the database, or by the deletion of all
    the log of a database environment files

    Since we did not move the environment or database files, the "common cause" isn't the issue here.
    db_verify is happy with the database in question files, db_recover has also been attempted without success.

    The only way to get the job of database (we have found to date) is a discharge-charge cycle.

    You have any idea what is causing these issues?
    The BerkeleyDB is stored on mounted with ioerror, vxfs largefiles, delaylog, rw is mwdisable options.
    We open the environment with these flags:

    DB_INIT_TXN | DB_INIT_LOCK | DB_INIT_LOG | DB_INIT_MPOOL | DB_DSYNC_DB
    and DB_LOG_DSYNC, just to be on the backup the value side...

    The application runs on the version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5.6 (Tikanga)

    Thanks for your help...

    Dear Bogdan,

    Instead of environment files steps 8 and 9, we have removed the __db.* and logs, intending to start a new environment from scratch.

    I see, it's okay, you can do, but you need to reset the log sequence numbers (LSN), databases so you disconnect the old log files databases and start with new.
    To do this, I ran db_upgrade on databases and after that reset the NSE. You have two options to reset the LSN, either do you it programmatically using the DB_ENV-> lsn_reset() (documented at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17076_02/html/api_reference/C/envlsn_reset.html) or, better yet, you use 'db_load' utility - r lsn (documented at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17076_02/html/api_reference/C/db_load.html) which does the same thing. Once you reset the LSN, replace the old databases, delete the log files and the region, start your application and how you are going.

    Let me know if you still have problems.

  • is there a way (or an app?) to set up a local proxy server on the airport extreme or time capsule?

    Hello

    If you have the answer! I'll be so happy!

    is there a way (or an app?) to set up a local proxy server on the airport extreme or time capsule?

    Thanks for your time!

    BR,

    Stéphane

    All routers, including the AirPort base station, run as a transparent proxies for the local network behind them. However, if you are talking about the possibility of proxy requests between the LAN and Internet, then no, the airport base stations do not have a native function to support doing so.

    The two common methods to accomplish this are: 1) use a proxy on your local network, or 2) use a DNS, like OpenDNS service, which offers proxy services.
