• How many vNIC on B200 M3 with VIC 1240 + extender?

  Hello

  Asking to confirm my resoning/interpretation of B200 M3 with VIC 1240 + extensible architecture.

  I'll apply vSphere 5.1 works UCS B200 M3 equipped with blades with VIC 1240 + expanders mezzanine.

  If I understand the documentation, all the physical links through the fabric between the host and the IOM are automatically approved by UCS, so if I don't create only one UCS vNIC by fabric, ESXi must 'see' vmnic with 40 Gbps capacity (with limitation of 10 Gbps for the single 'flow').

  Say this another way - there is no need to create 8 vNIC to use all 8 physical links?

  Nice day!

  With the VIC 1240 and Extender port and 2208 hypervisor ESX will be able to see an aggregation of links total of 40G network card.

• NPIV with VIC 1240 and ESX

  I have a blade/UCS B200 with Cisco Virtual Interface Card 1240 chassis. For the life of me I can't NPIV to work. I can't find any configuration for this configuration document and the only post on here, I found 2 years ago and says that mezzanines Cisco cards do not support NPIV. Can he still be the case today?

  VMkernel log attached.

  The last time I checked (end of 2014), it was not intended for NPIV on ESX host.

  We have ongoing enforcement and documented for Hyper-V.

  Better to reach out to your local SE... it seems to be some demand for this feature.

• VIC 1240 - question Win2k8R2

  Hi people,

  I have a problem when installing Win2008 R2 via SAN to a UNIT number with the VIC1240 adapters on blades M3 B200. The installer is simply not able to find any storage to install its data. When I use ESXi 5.0u1 everything works well, the logic unit number is discovered and it can be written to-while the Microsofts installer can't find anything. I've had a few quick glances to cisco.com for advice of driver or something like that, but I could find anything in that direction.

  Tips are welcome.

  Kind regards

  Maik

  The drivers you need are found here depending on your version of the code:

  http://www.Cisco.com/Cisco/software/release.html?mdfid=283853163&softwareid=283853158&release=2.0%283b%29&relind=available&rellifecycle=&RelType=latest

  You'll need map iso drivers and add appropriate drivers during the initial installation.  Also, remember to unmap the driver cd and remap the windows iso or you will get an error windows cannot install on that partition.

• vCon Placement in UCS

  Hello

  I have a question regarding the placement of vnic in UCS specifically to the assignment of vCon.

  In my system, I have B200M3 servers with the UCS Vic1240 + mlom expansion card.

  What I was wondering how much is vCon I have in my system?  What I've read, each vCon is the virtual representation of the physical map, so in my case, I only vCon.  It makes sense, because when I look at where the system has placed my vNIC, they are all associated with vCon1.

  However, when I look at the "Modify vNIC/vHBA investment" and do one manually, I see four Vcons(4) (vCon1 - vCon4).  Is that by default, or I would be able to use Vcons(4) 2-4?  If I can, so I wonder why the system has only chosen to use vCon1?

  Any help in this understanding would be gratefuly received!

  Thank you

  Dominic

  VCON is equivalent to the physical I/O adapter; in your case VIC-1240 + port expander is 1 I/O adapter, so you only vcon.

  the fact that 4 vcon to appear, has to do with the fact that the UCS C-Series servers can have up to 4 I/O adapters; B-series servers are limited for the moment 2 I/O adapters.

• B420M3 w / 1240 + PE + 1280 + IOM ESXi 2208 + 5.5

  Hi all

  I w B420M3 4CPU / 1240 Port Expander + 1280 + IOM ESXi 2208 + 5.5

  based on my understanding, I should get 40 GB + 40 + 40 GB of total bandwidth of 40 GB = 160 GB per blade, see attached schema.

  How vNIC must be created in the service profile in order to reach the 160 GB of bandwidth?

  If 4 vNIC, how should vNIC/vHBA be mapped to Vcons(4)?

  Thanks in advance.

  Lennie

  Correct: 80 full duplex G by fabric

  My 2 c

  -between each I/O and IOM adapter, there is a pc 4 10 links; Therefore, by stream, you have a 10G limitiation

  -consider the oversupscription to the North, the IOM - FI and FI Northbound

  -with 2 I/O adapters, you have 2 vCON

  -If you create vnic, use manual placement to assign them to fabric or B and vCON 1 and 2.

  -min number of vnic is 4 (vCON has 1 & 2 fabric, (vCON 1 & 2 fabric)

• 10G between adpater and blades for VIC1240 + 1280

  As my other discussion suggested, I VIC 1240 and 1280 cards installed on the B200 M3 blade.

  UCS automatically creates 4x20G port-channel between the adapter and the blades. We have therefore 80 G total n/b to the INSTITUTION of the blade. Side has 40 G and 40 B side

  I have a delicate question: if I could change the 4 ports-channels to 8 individual links while I have granular control to 10G does level not 20G

  Can anyone help to answer the question?

  No, these are internal pc, automatically. Be aware that a single stream is limited to 10G, more if you have not configured a pc between the IOM and fi, you are limited by this public static pinning (IOM - FI) to 10G anyway. PC between IOM and fi requires the second generation material, for example. 62xx and 22xx.

• Failover of the UCS Virtual Interface Card 1280

  Hello

  I am facing some problems with failover and Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card 1280.

  I found some information about M81KR:

  Cisco UCS M81KR has fabric failover

  The Cisco UCS M81KR offers fabric failover, which allows the failover interface to a physical level without the overhead of operating system or hypervisor or certification.

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/prod/collateral/ps10265/ps10276/solution_overview_c22-555987_ps10280_Product_Solution_Overview.html

  (b) the two uplinks to a FI fail or FI fails: in this case the corresponding server links will be closed because there is no available on a financial institution uplink. The FI will spread link at the bottom of the adapter status. Once link at the bottom of map Upstate occurs, it is the responsibility of the operating system for the NIC/HBA remaining traffic re-PIN. The exception here is with adapter of Palo (M71KR and M81KR) that supports failover of fabric.

  https://supportforums.Cisco.com/docs/doc-18525

  But I've not found on Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card 1280.

  Cisco UCS Virtual Interface 1280 card is newer than M81KR, anyone know if 1280 has the same function? is - it possible failover even if the fabric interconnect fails?

  Thank you

  Hi Mauricio,.

  1280 VIC a fabric failover, the data sheet:

• Epson 1280 printer not shared in XP Mode

  I just upgraded from Vista 32 to Win 7 64 (clean install) with only a few problems (love Win 7!)  but I'll limit this post for a particular problem:

  I have two printers installed: HP Laserjet 1020 and Epson 1280 ink jet. I have CreataCard installed in XP Mode and it works fine. In the USB tab, I left the printers in sharing mode (both present, the HP is labeled with its full name, the Epson is labeled with only "USB Printer" - perhaps an idea of the problem?)  I can print on printer HP of CreataCard but not for the Epson printer. If I first start XP Mode and exit the "USB Printer" sharing mode, then CreataCard can print on it (an extra step).

  Additional information: the Epson printer is not displayed on the page "Devices and printers" and yet it appears in the print dialog box when you print a document directly from an application Win 7.

  I have CreataCard on the Windows 7 Desktop icon and it launches CreataCard full screen just the way I want it - and - it prints right out of the HP printer without intermediate action by me. I would like the same capacity for the Epson printer.

  Question: What can I do to allow the use of the Epson printer in XP-Mode programs sharing mode?
  
  Thanks, Bob423

  PS, in system Informaton - printer, the Epson 1280 appears on the port USB002 and made the right description, ' Epson Stylus Photo 1280 (M). Printers HP LaserJet appears on the port USB001. When I try not to print with the Epson printer in share mode (labeled as "USB Printer" in the dialog USB but corrected labeled as Epson 1280 in the CreataCard printer dialog box) I get an error message "Epson Status Monitor 3: Communication error". To get rid of him, I have to start the Task Manager and stop the Epson Status Monitor application.

  Well, I found the answer! The Epson 1280 was not assigned a port TS in XP Mode even if the HP printer has been (TS001). The solution was to open the "printers and faxes" in XP Mode, click on "Add a printer", click 'Next', "Local printer attached to this computer" option but be sure clear a check mark (if any) in "automatically detect and install my Plug and Play printer", then click on 'Next', under "use the following port", select one of the ports of TS. Because on my computer port TS001 has been used by the HP printer, I selected the TS002 port, then click on 'Next', select your printer driver and install. Just for good measure, I allowed the printer to share, but I don't think it was necessary. The printer will now appear in the "Printers and faxes" page as "Ready", which he did not before. The HP printer has always appeared as "Ready". The programs I run in XP Mode can now print to the printer Epson on TS002 without having to "join" the printer from the USB tab at the top of the window of the XP Mode. I've seen other messages that you may need to try trial and error to find the ports TS used by Win 7 to share printers in XP Mode. I only had a single printer to match, but if you have several printers with the same problem, it can be tedious but you only to have for once. There is no indication in the window "Select a port" as to what Win 7 printer is assigned to what TS port, you have to guess and try to print a test page to see if you guessed correctly. Of course, if the manufacturer has successfully written the driver Win 7, you wouldn't have this problem (the Win 7 HP for the 1020 driver worked perfectly, the Epson driver was listed as Vista 64-bit, not having said anything about support for Windows 7).

  I always get a communication error of the Epson Status Monitor when sending a print job to the printer, but then begin printing and I can then simply X out the Status Monitor window without problem. I guess it takes a few seconds before the communication is established and the Status Monitor allows not enough time. So I still an extra step of X on the error window, but all still prints (even if I don't have X window) - so I'll take that as a step forward.

  Now I can now put a shortcut to the CreataCard program on my Win 7 desktop that will automatically open in XP Mode with no further action required by me (except X'ing by the Status Monitor error window when you print a job). The next task is to find how to prevent the error window Status Monitor to come.

  I guess that progress.

• Cisco UCS B200 M4Compatible with 2100 FEX in UCS 5108 chassis &amp; FI 6100?

  Hello

  The blade server Cisco UCS B200 M4 is compatible with FEX 2100 within a Cisco UCS 5108 chassis & Cisco UCS 6100 fabric of interconnection?

  The interop tool said clearly for the B200-M4:

  http://www.Cisco.com/Web/TechDoc/UCS/interoperability/matrix/matrix.html

  Note 14: The 2104XP fabric Extender is not compatible when the 1240 and 1280 or 1240 and VIC Port Expander are combined on the same blade. Applies to the M3 and M3 B200 as well as B420 B22 with 1240 and the 2 adapter connector populated

  or for the VIC 1340

  Note 38: 6100 series fabric interconnects and 2100 series fabric Extender is not supported

• ESXi vmnic connected to 20000 MB when waiting for 40000 MB

  Hi all
  I have 4 x B200M3 5u2 ESXi running blades in a single chassis UCS. They run a number of vSwitches, and all the connected vmnic show 40000 full duplex Mb (as expected).
  Yesterday, I added 2 B200M3 more (to slot 7 and 8), and I get only 20000 Mb on all the vmnic. The hosts are the same set up as the old via vCenter (although not not using the host profiles), and Service UCS profiles on new knives are clones of an existing blade.

  See attached screenshots...

  Does anyone have an idea of what this might be? Any help would be great.

  See you soon

  Yet one thing, you might hit the default below if you have the same hardware on all blades, including the two new b200 M3.

  You can also see the difference in the bandwidth if the new cards are one of the missing cards, it could be the port Expander or the 1280 or 1240 vic, is an expected behavior.

• B200 m3 config

  I must add m3 my existing chassis of the m2s b200 b200

  should vic or mezzane which card I expect?

  I wil do boot from san

  Hi Tony,.

  Note that if it's your first m3 b200 your UCS environment must run a minimum of 2.0 firmware (2) because it is a requirement for this blade.

  Release notes 2.0 (table 2 internal dependencies)

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/unified_computing/UCS/release/notes/OL_25363.html

  With regard to the VIC card.

  You can use the 1240 VIC that will allow you to configure startup san.  If you want to increase your bandwidth, you can install the Port Expander control but note that this is only supported with the IOM of second generation x 220 (see datasheet below)

  See also table 8 of the document below for other supported the Mezzanine Cards.

• VIC1240 and 2208xp

  Hi team,

  Configure the UCS quickly to provide 80G blades B200 M3 link to FI.

  I have two adpaters: 1 VIC 1240 (VIC1240 is in the mLOM slot), 1 module VIC 1280 and IOM is 2208xp.

  After tchecked the doc, I found the solution in attached. But couldn't find the doc who shows how to configure in UCS?

  It is very appreciated if someone can suggest the steps in detail of the configuration.

  THX

  Hi David,

  With 1240 and 1280 on the blade adapters you will automatically have 80 G total n/b at the END of the blade. Side has 40 G and 40 B side

  There is a channel of automatic port created between the adapter and the blade, and you don't have to configure anything else.

  All you have to do is to create the vnic and vhba as usual in the profile of serivce.

• FEX-Uplink Failover, loadbalancing

  I would like to understand more of the technology within a vblock
  I have a few questions gradually

  So I'm out. pls be patient and thank you in advance...

  VBlock 720 with the following generic configuration

  Switch 2 x Cisco 5000 Series
  2 x FI 6248
  6 x chassis 5108
  FEX 2204
  VIC 1240 (no Mezzanine Card)
  8 x M3 blade, 2 CPU

  uplinks of 4 x 10 G of each FEX to FI (port channel)
  uplink of 8 x 10 G of each FI for Ciso 5000 series swith (vpc)

  Assumptions:

  All chassis are completely fill

  Each blade has consistient thoroughput of bandwidth, but 6 GB

  1. When the blades connect to FEX A and B FEX, are active active connections?
  2. For exampleIs blades 1 and 5 has made the fallen on the same ports on the same FEX FEX?
  3. What is the method that load balances blade ping?
  4. Assume 1 Uplink fails between FEX and FI, is the uplink 1 on FEX B overexploited.
  5. How the virtual machine decides which ANC port to send traffic?

  She now...

  See online

  When the blades connect to FEX A and B FEX, are active active connections?

  I assume you mean of FEX = IOM in the chassis;

  Yes the two fabrics are active; all VIC are double hosted the fabric a and b

  For exampleIs blades 1 and 5 has made the fallen on the same ports on the same FEX FEX?

  You have the choice between static pinning (made by UCS Manager) blade slot to an Uplink of IOM, or set a port between IOM and fabric channel interconnection; port channel is the preferred mode.

  Static pinning depends on model of IOM, 2204 / 2208 and the number of uplinks, for example

  2204-4 uplinks

  slot 1 and 5--> uplink 1 chassis

  2 and 6-> uplink 2 chassis slot

  ......

  2208-8 uplinks

  Chassis slot 1-> uplink 1

  Chassis slot 2-> uplink 2

  ......

  Pinning static if a rising fails, the fabric slots correspondent has or b, are declining. There is no repinning for remaining uplinks; grouping and multipathing will take the appropriate action.

  If you have a port-channel, and you lose a link, no problem, as long as there is at least a link to the top; your bandwidth will decrease, but th vnic/vhba are still in place

  What is the method that load balances blade ping?

  Don't understand; To be more specific

  Assume 1 Uplink fails between FEX and FI, is the uplink 1 on FEX B overexploited.

  Yes, in principle. but you will have to design oversubscription from end to end in any case!

  How the virtual machine decides which ANC port to send traffic?

  It depends on the hypervisor; Take, for example, VMware ESXi and vswitch: load balancing can be configured by switch and / or port-group; important caveat: do not hash IP as interconnection of fabric does not support the Protocol LACP; by default, the original virtual¨port code.
