C Series Rack Server-possible to manage via UCSM although diferent location

Hello,
Is it possible to have a C series rack server link up to a UCS domain in another location? We have a campus environment and in the location where we are considering a rack server, there is no existing UCS domain/6248 interconnects. There is however, a Cisco Nexus 5000. Not sure if that helps.

Hello Allan,
Please refer to the link which will surely help you to resolve your query-

C460 Rack Server with two VIC 1225 - UCSM vNIC placement policy

I am trying to integrate C460 having 2 VIC 1225 cards with UCSM. The objective is to have 2 ethernet interfaces assigned to each VIC , one per FI.
vNIC 1 on VIC 1 - FI A failover to FI B
vNIC 2 on VIC 1 - FI B failover to FI A
vNIC 3 on VIC 2 - FI A failover to FI B
vNIC 4 on VIC 2 - FI B failover to FI A
I have created a service profile with 4 vNICs and assigned to C460. When the UCSM is configured to use the system default for vNIC/vHBA placement policy, all 4 vNICs are assigned to one VIC. When trying to place them manually with 2 on vCon1 and 2 on vCon2, I am seeing insufficient resource error. Both the VIC are recognized and UCSM server tab shows both of them as adapters.
Could someone please let me know how to achieve it?
Thanks!

The C460 has an integrated BCM 57711 which would also be recognized by the system. What's most likely happening is that the VIC 1225s are on vCon1 and vCon3 and the BCM card is on vCon2, since FF is not supported on the Broadcom adapter this would cause the association to fail. Try placing the manual placement with vCon1 and vCon3 and see if this clears up the issue.

Cannot ping Cisco C series server using direct connect to UCSM

We have connected 2 Cisco C series servers (VIC 1225 Cards) with direct connect to Fabric Interconnects and managed via UCSM but cannot get network working.
Service profiles have been created and pushed with only 1 VLAN and the default VLAN as native but cannot communicate with IP address configured. Mac address is learnt at the Nexus 5K northbound switches. Seems to be a VLAN tagging issue somewhere

We do not use the CIMC as the server is all managed from UCSM and the CIMC has to be set to default for this mode
Sorry I was not clear; I mean of course that even with UCSM, your C-series server will get an IP address for CIMC, which is used if you open a KVM session. You should be able to ping this IP address.

Is it possible to Manage iOS apps with Lion Server

I was wondering if anyone knows whether or not it's possible to manage (add and remove) iOS apps using Lion Server, specifically apps available via the app store rather than apps built for internal use? I can't seem to see a way of doing it using profile manager but was wondering if I was maybe missing something?
Thanks

The answer to this would appear to be no.

Is it possible to Run VM Server and VM Manager on a single machine

Hi,
I'm trying to learn VM and I downloaded both the VM Server and Manager from E-Delivery. The guide says I need two separate machines for the VM server and VM manager.
Does this mean I've to install the VM Server first and then Install VM Manager on a different machine, create the Virtual Machines and then run the Virtual Machines on the VM Server?
If I've got only one laptop, does that mean I've to install the Enterprise Linux first, install the VM Manager, create all the VM Machines I'll need from the Installation sources, then install the VM Server on the machine a fresh and run the created VM Machines on it?
I'm relatively new to Virtualization and any help would be highly appreciated.

There are other messages about running OVMM in the first VM on an OVM Server.
Yes, Oracle supports them both being on the same physical system. They even supply a template for it.
I tried to install it yesterday, but hit a resource snag. The testbed system I have available only has 2GB of memory and the OVMM template installation script aborts if the OVM Server does not have more than 2GB of memory. So my experiments for a faster DR process will have to wait for better hardware.

Recommended configuration for Oracle VM Server and VM Manager

Hi,
Currently we have two dedicated DELL servers (VM server and VM Manager) for which are building an Oracle stack environment.
We are facing a problem which we didn't find answer from Oracle docs or via Google. The problem is that the virtual machines we create in VM Manager can't be connected to the outside world, and we think it's because our host (Hetzner) does not allow ports eth1-eth3 to be connected to the servers, unless we have these servers in the same rack and connected via switch.
Our question is, is it recommended configuration to have VM Server and VM Manager servers in the same rack and connected via switch?
If yes, the next question is, if we need in the future to add one more dedicated DELL server to our configuration to host virtual machines, is it possible if the new third dedicated DELL server is not connected via switch to the two dedicated DELL servers we have already have?
If no, the next question is, what could be the recommended configuration and solution to our problem in our case that ports eth1-eth3 cannot be connected to the servers?
Please do not hesitate to ask if you need more information. I do appreciate your time and expertise. Thanks.

The architectural environment is now done like on this graphic. For security reasons Hetzner hosting service does not allow ports eth1-eth3 to be connected, but in internal network under switch they do.

How To Install A (Almost) Working Lion Server With Profile Management/SSL/OD/Mail/iCal/Address Book/VNC/Web/etc.

I recently installed a fresh version of Lion Server after attempting to fix a broken upgrade. With some help from others, I've managed to get all the new features working and have kept notes, having found that many or most of the necessary installation steps for both the OS and its services are almost entirely undocumented. When you get them working, they work great, but the entire process is very fragile, with simple setup steps causing breaks or even malicious behaviors. In case this is useful to others, here are my notes.
Start with an erased, virgin, single guid partitioned drive. Not an upgrade. Not simply a repartitioned drive. Erased. Clean. Anything else can and probably will break the Lion Server install, as I discovered myself more than once. Before erasing my drive, I already had Lion and made a Lion install DVD from instructions widely available on the web. I suppose you could also boot into the Lion recovery partition and use disk utility to erase the OS X partition then install a new partition, but I cut a DVD. The bottom line is to erase any old OS partitions. And of course to have multiple, independent backups: I use both Time Machine with a modified StdExclusions.plist and Carbon Copy Cloner.
Also, if you will be running your own personal cloud, you will want to know your domain name ahead of time, as this will be propagated everywhere throughout server, and changing anything related to SSL on Lion Server is a nightmare that I haven't figured out. If you don't yet have a domain name, go drop ten dollars at namecheap.com or wherever and reserve one before you start. Soemday someone will document how to change this stuff without breaking Lion Server, but we're not there yet. I'll assume the top-level domain name "domain.com" here.
Given good backups, a Lion Install DVD (or Recovery Partition), and a domain name, here are the steps, apparently all of which must be more-or-less strictly followed in this order.
DVD>Disk Utility>Erase Disk [or Recovery Partition>Disk Utility>Erase Partition]
DVD>Install Lion
Reboot, hopefully Lion install kicks in
Update, update, update Lion (NOT Lion Server yet) until no more updates
System Preferences>Network>Static IP on the LAN (say 10.0.1.2) and Computer name ("server" is a good standbye)
Terminal>$ sudo scutil --set HostName server.domain.com
App Store>Install Lion Server and run through the Setup
Download install Server Admin Tools, then update, update, update until no more updates
Server Admin>DNS>Zones [IF THIS WASN'T AUTOMAGICALLY CREATED (mine wasn't): Add zone domain.com with Nameserver "server.domain.com." (that's a FQDN terminated with a period) and a Mail Exchanger (MX record) "server.domain.com." with priority 10. Add Record>Add Machine (A record) server.domain.com pointing to the server's static IP. You can add fancier DNS aliases and a simpler MX record below after you get through the crucial steps.]
System Prefs>Network>Advanced>Set your DNS server to 127.0.0.1
A few DNS set-up steps and these most important steps:
A. Check that the Unix command "hostname" returns the correct hostname and you can see this hostname in Server.app>Hardware>Network
B. Check that DNS works: the unix commands "host server.domain.com" and "host 10.0.1.2" (assuming that that's your static IP) should point to each other. Do not proceed until DNS works.
C. Get Apple Push Notification Services CA via Server.app>Hardware>Settings><Click toggle, Edit... get a new cert ...>
D. Server.app>Profile Manager>Configure... [Magic script should create OD Master, signed SSL cert]
E. Server.app>Hardware>Settings>SSL Certificate> [Check to make sure it's set to the one just created]
F. Using Server.app, turn on the web, then Server.app>Profile Manager> [Click on hyperlink to get to web page, e.g. server.domain.com/profilemanager] Upper RHS pull-down, install Trust Profile
G. Keychain Access>System>Certificates [Find the automatically generated cert "Domain", the one that is a "Root certificate authority", Highlight and Export as .cer, email to all iOS devices, and click on the authority on the device. It should be entered as a trusted CA on all iOS devices. While you're at it, highlight and Export... as a .cer the certificate "IntermediateCA_SERVER.DOMAIN.COM_1", which is listed an an "Intermediate CA" -- you will use this to establish secure SSL connections with remote browsers hitting your server.]
H. iOS on LAN: browse to server.domain.com/mydevices> [click on LHS Install trust cert, then RHS Enroll device.
I. Test from web browser server.domain.com/mydevices: Lock Device to test
J. ??? Profit
12. Server Admin>DNS>Zones> Add convenient DNS alias records if necessary, e.g., mail.domain.com, smtp.domain.com, www.domain.com. If you want to refer to your box using the convenient shorthand "domain.com", you must enter the A record (NOT alias) "domain.com." FQDN pointing to the server's fixed IP. You can also enter the convenient short MX record "domain.com." with priority 11. This will all work on the LAN -- all these settings must be mirrored on the outside internet using the service from which you registered domain.com.
You are now ready to begin turning on your services. Here are a few important details and gotchas setting up cloud services.
Firewall
Server Admin>Firewall>Services> Open up all ports needed by whichever services you want to run and set up your router (assuming that your server sits behind a router) to port forward these ports to your router's LAN IP. This is most a straightforward exercise in grepping for the correct ports on this page, but there are several jaw-droppingly undocumented omissions of crucial ports for Push Services and Device Enrollment. If you want to enroll your iOS devices, make sure port 1640 is open. If you want Push Notifications to work (you do), then ports 2195, 2196, 5218, and 5223 must be open. The Unix commands "lsof -i :5218" and "nmap -p 5218 server.domain.com" (nmap available from Macports after installing Xcode from the App Store) help show which ports are open.
SSH
Do this with strong security. Server.app to turn on remote logins (open port 22), but edit /etc/sshd_config to turn off root and password logins.
PermitRootLogin no
PasswordAuthentication no
ChallengeResponseAuthentication no
I'm note sure if toggling the Allow remote logins will load this config file or, run "sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/org.openbsd.ssh-agent.plist ; sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/org.openbsd.ssh-agent.plist" to restart the server's ssh daemon.
Then use ssh-keygen on remote client to generate public/private keys that can be used to remotely login to the server.
client$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -C client_name
[Securely copy ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub from client to server.]
server$ cat id_rsa.pub > ~/.ssh/known_hosts
I also like DenyHosts, which emails detected ssh attacks to [email protected]. It's amazing how many ssh attacks there are on any open port 22. Not really an added security feature if you've turned off password logins, but good to monitor. Here's a Lion Server diff for the config file /usr/share/denyhosts:
$ diff denyhosts.cfg-dist denyhosts.cfg
12c12

Network Accounts
User Server.app to create your network accounts; do not use Workgroup Manager. If you use Workgroup Manager, as I did, then your accounts will not have email addresses specified and iCal Server WILL NOT COMPLETELY WORK. Well, at least collaboration through network accounts will be handled clunkily through email, not automatically as they should. If you create a network account using Workgroup Manager, then edit that account using Server.app to specify the email to which iCal invitations may be sent. Server.app doesn't say anything about this, but that's one thing that email address entry is used for. This still isn't quite solid on Lion Server, as my Open Directory logs on a freshly installed Lion Server are filled with errors that read:
2011-12-12 15:05:52.425 EST - Module: SystemCache - Misconfiguration detected in hash 'Kerberos':
 User 'uname' (/LDAPv3/127.0.0.1) - ID 1031 - UUID 98B4DF30-09CF-42F1-6C31-9D55FE4A0812 - SID S-0-8-83-8930552043-0845248631-7065481045-9092
Oh well.
Email
Email aliases are handled with the file /private/etc/postfix/aliases. Do something like this
root: myname
admin: myname
sysadmin: myname
certadmin: myname
webmaster: myname
my_alternate: myname
Then run "sudo newaliases". If your ISP is Comcast or some other large provider, you probably must proxy your outgoing mail through their SMTP servers to avoid being blocked as a spammer (a lot of SMTP servers will block email from Comcast/whatever IP addresses that isn't sent by Comcast). Use Server.app>Mail to enter your account information. Even then, the Lion Server default setup may fail using this proxy. I had to do this with the file /private/etc/postfix/main.cf:
cd /etc/postfix
sudo cp ./main.cf ./main.cf.no_smtp_sasl_security_options
sudo echo 'smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous' >> ./main.cf
sudo serveradmin stop mail
sudo serveradmin start mail
Finally, make sure that you're running a blacklisting srevice yourself! Server Admin>Mail>Filter> Use spamhaus.org as a blacklister. Finally, set up mail to use strong Kerberos/MD5 settings under on Server Admin>Mail>Advanced. Turn off password and clear logins. The settings should be set to "Use" your SSL cert, NOT "Require". "Require" consistently breaks things for me.
If you already installed the server's Trust Certificate as described above (and opened up the correct ports), email to your account should be pushed out to all clients.
iCal Server
Server.app>Calendar>Turn ON and Allow Email Invitations, Edit... . Whatever you do, do NOT enter your own email account information in this GUI. You must enter the account information for local user com.apple.calendarserver, and the password for this account, which is stored in the System keychain: Keychain Access>System> Item com.apple.servermgr_calendar. Double-click and Show Password, copy and paste into Server.app dialog. This is all described in depth here. If you enter your own account information here (DO NOT!), the iCal Server will delete all Emails in your Inbox just as soon as it reads them, exactly like it works for user com.apple.calendarserver. Believe me, you don't want to discover this "feature", which I expect will be more tightly controlled in some future update.
Web
The functionality of Server.app's Web management is pretty limited and awful, but a few changes to the file /etc/apache2/httpd.conf will give you a pretty capable and flexible web server, just one that you must manage by hand. Here's a diff for httpd.conf:
$ diff httpd.conf.default httpd.conf

I did "sudo mkdir /etc/apache2/mydomain" and add specific config files for various web pages to host. For example, here's a config file that will host the entire contents of an EyeTV DVR, all password controlled with htdigest ("htdigest ~uname/.htdigest EyeTV uname"). Browsing to https://server.domain.com/eyetv points to /Users/uname/Sites/EyeTV, in which there's an index.php script that can read and display the EyeTV archive at https://server.domain.com/eyetv_archive. If you want Apache username accounts with twiddles as in https://server.domain.com/~uname, specify "UserDir Sites" in the configuration file.
Alias /eyetv /Users/uname/Sites/EyeTV
<Directory "/Users/uname/Sites/EyeTV">
 AuthType Digest
 AuthName "EyeTV"
 AuthUserFile /Users/uname/.htdigest
 AuthGroupFile /dev/null
 Require user uname
 Options Indexes MultiViews
 AllowOverride All

Alias /eyetv_archive "/Volumes/Macintosh HD2/Documents/EyeTV Archive"

 AuthName "EyeTV"
 AuthUserFile /Users/uname/.htdigest
 AuthGroupFile /dev/null
 Require user uname

 AllowOverride All

</Directory>
I think you can turn Web off/on in Server.app to relaunch apached, or simply "sudo apachectl -D WEBSERVICE_ON -D MACOSXSERVER -k restart".
Securely copy to all desired remote clients the file IntermediateCA_SERVER.DOMAIN.COM_1.cer, which you exported from System Keychain above. Add this certificate to your remote keychain and trust it, allowing secure connections between remote clients and your server. Also on remote clients: Firefox>Advanced>Encryption>View Certificates>Authorities>Import...> Import this certificate into your browser. Now there should be a secure connection to https://server.domain.com without any SSL warnings.
One caveat is that there should be a nice way to establish secure SSL to https://domain.com and https://www.domain.com, but the automagically created SSL certificate only knows about server.domain.com. I attempted to follow this advice when I originally created the cert and add these additional domains (under "Subject Alternate Name Extension"), but the cert creation UI failed when I did this, so I just gave up. I hope that by the time these certs expire, someone posts some documentation on how to manage and change Lion Server SSL scripts AFTER the server has been promoted to an Open Directory Master. In the meantime, it would be much appreciated if anyone can post either how to add these additional domain names to the existing cert, or generate and/or sign a cert with a self-created Keychain Access root certificate authority. In my experience, any attempt to mess with the SSL certs automatically generated just breaks Lion Server.
Finally, if you don't want a little Apple logo as your web page icon, create your own 16×16 PNG and copy it to the file /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/favicon.ico. And request that all web-crawling robots go away with the file /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/robots.txt:

Misc
VNC easily works with iOS devices -- use a good passphrase. Edit /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postgresql.postgres.plist and set "listen_addresses=127.0.0.1" to allow PostgreSQL connections over localhost. I've also downloaded snort/base/swatch to build an intrusion detection system, and used Macports's squid+privoxy to build a privacy-enhanced ad-blocking proxy server.

Privacy Enhancing Filtering Proxy and SSH Tunnel
Lion Server comes with its own web proxy, but chaining Squid and Privoxy together provides a capable and effective web proxy that can block ads and malicious scripts, and conceal information used to track you around the web. I've posted a simple way to build and use a privacy enhancing web proxy here. While you're at it, configure your OS and browsers to block Adobe Flash cookies and block Flash access to your camera, microphone, and peer networks. Read this WSJ article series to understand how this impacts your privacy. If you configure it to allow use for anyone on your LAN, be sure to open up ports 3128, 8118, and 8123 on your firewall.
If you've set up ssh and/or VPN as above, you can securely tunnel in to your proxy from anywhere. The syntax for ssh tunnels is a little obscure, so I wrote a little ssh tunnel script with a simpler flexible syntax. This script also allows secure tunnels to other services like VNC (port 5900). If you save this to a file ./ssht (and chmod a+x ./ssht), example syntax to establish an ssh tunnel through localhost:8080 (or, e.g., localhost:5901 for secure VNC Screen Sharing connects) looks like:
$ ./ssht 8080:[email protected]:3128
$ ./ssht 8080:alice@:
$ ./ssht 8080:
$ ./ssht 8018::8123
$ ./ssht 5901::5900 [Use the address localhost:5901 for secure VNC connects using OS X's Screen Sharing or Chicken of the VNC (sudo port install cotvnc)]

Is it possible to Manage Sun Fire v60 without using Red Hat?

I've been trying to enable a console connection via an Avocent dongle connected to the serial port using these directions:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19088-01/v65x.srvr/817-2025-13/chap2.html
All I've been able to view is the BIOS output, and the grub menu; I am unable to control anything.
Is it possible to manage a Sun Fire v60x without using a Red Hat server to issue power/status commands?
Thank you.

Hi.
Serial console support only text mode. So can freasing after server change mode to graphics.
For manage server You can read:

Lights Out Management (LOM)
The Intel Server Management (ISM) software is a set of applications and agents for monitoring and managing servers. The agents can act as low-level stand-alone pieces, or can be used in conjunction with full-featured integrated management suites.
Available features include power on, power off and reset. System Event Logs (SELs) and Sensor Data Records (SDRs) can be viewed remotely.
IMHO: It's very old server and remote control of it not user frendly.

I distinguish it using the passwordExpirationTime(or something like that, i don't have code here with me).
This is possible if after password is expired user has at least one more access.It is a user policy that can be set in the Ldap server.
If it is possible, user can still login and perform operations.You chan search the passwordExpirationTime attribute and determine if password is expired, and the send a message to the user, telling him to change it.(If only one access is allowed and you change the password with the same application or service then do not close context, else you should not be able to connect again.) Instead, if you use an external script, then the last acces should not give you problems.
Hope i made myself clear.

I also can't find the VIC-1225 ?

Hi Wedy,
What server do you have?
You should be able to use the drivers for the standalone version. See the link for the C220 M3 drivers bundle.

VPN user management via VMS

I am using Catalyst 6500 IPSEC module for VPN remote access users. As far as I know you can manage VPN remote access users via CiscoWorks VMS if they are connected to a VPN3000 series concentrator.
Is it possible to manage these users if they connect to IPSEC module the same way using VMS?

HI Colin,
We did that successfully. It was webservice/infopath based Interactive . net form which would do user management and also Workflow funtionality. In summary from my experience
- Initial cost would be cheaper, however ongoing maintainance on whole infrastructure should be considered.
- SAP BAPI/FM/webservice development was very easy
- Integration with Infopath was challange
- Fronted development was pain as you would need other people to do that for you
- Once operational, was very easy to managed
- Future enhancement was limitless
- Limitation of integration to other technology
- Should only be justifiable in absence of IDM solution
- Too much custom development
- Change management in SAP was easy (Transport, testing, QA etc) however Infopath and Frontend change Management was not easy
Let me know what other information you need. Finding BAPI's and designing in SAP is the easy part, you should think more about how you are going to deploy Webservice to end users.
However if your IT department has more bucks to spend, think about more longer term solution and towards IDM or product such as GRC etc.

Windows Server 2008 R2 activation via KMS failure

Hello,
I'm trying to activate about 20 Windows Server 2008 R2 via KMS. Before that I have successfully activated Windows 7 clients and Microsoft Office 2010 products. But when I try to activate Windows Server 2008 R2 clients via kms I'm getting the following error
on the KMS host:
. Exception System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0xC004F074)
KMS host installed on the machine with Windows 7 Professional OS. From the VAMT GUI I can see the following Windows server license information :
Key Type : CSVLK
Edition : ServerStandard;ServerEnterprise;ServerWeb;ServerHPC
Description : Server 2008 R2 Std and Ent Volume.
If I try to activate product from the client I get the following error :
Error: 0xC004F074 The Software Licensing Service reported that the computer could not be activated. The Key Management Service(KMS) is unavailable.
I have searched a lot about this error. But still cannot solve the issue.
Thanks & Regards
Ulzii

Yes KMS host is Windows 7. I read all documents about KMS but haven't read this doc. So I have to change KMS host or add Win Server KMS host, that's right?
Yes that's right. Windows "Client" OS editions, when setup as KMShost, cannot issue activations for Windows "Server" OS editions.
To do so, you will need a KMShost product key for Windows Server - you will only have such a product key if you have purchased Windows Server licenses through Volume Licensing.
(The Windows 7 KMShost product key cannot be installed on Windows Server OS)

How to monitor all SAP Server through solution Manager?

Dear Friends,
How to monitor all SAP Server through solution Manager?
Is it possible if yes then how? Please forward configuration and transaction also.
Please help me as early as possible..
Thanks,
Regards,
Sachin

Hi sachin,
You can monitor your sattilite systems through solution manager.
If you want to monitor systems in solution manager means you need to configure those systems in solution manager.
Before including the systems in solution manager we need to create a solution using tcode DSWP.
After that you can include the systems using tcode SMSY.
For configuring the systems we have lot of phases its very difficult to explain here.
Try to login to service.sap.com and help.sap.com find the helpfull guides.
i hope it will help you.
any issues post it.
