Cisco UCS Blade Server Management IP Pool Question

All,
I am wanting/needing to connect to the blade server CIMC through an inband IP connection, and have created a pool for that, and a VLAN group and made all the necessary changes, and can KVM to the server, so everything is working right, but what is happening is that when I associate the SP to the blade, the blade is coming up with two IP's assigned both for inband and for outband. My SP specifically states to use the pool for inband and 'none' for outband. Does anyone know why the blade is getting two IP's assigned for both inband and outband?
Any help would be appreciated...thanks.

Hi Walter,
Thanks for the your time...& info...
What is the best recommended possible way ?
Even with the possible failover scenario i explained ...I don't think so that is also a full pledge one.
For example...If i am running the Esxi 5.5 of enterprise edition is running on one of the blades...the vswitch configuration of each blade would be different? 
LUN cloning to the spare blade is mandate right ? then only i can move the particular blade & its profile on to spare blade along with OS ?
I hope there are alot of limitations with this failover point ? I hope UCS won't give full redundancy?
Please advise ?

  • UCS Blade Server HBA Support

    I have started to look at the UCS blade server range this morning as we may need to work with this kit in an upcoming project.
    From what I can see, HBA support is quite limited. I have an application that requires a Dialogic ISDN30 card in one of my servers but it looks like I won't be able to use this in a UCS blade server - am I correct in that assumption ?
    TIA.

    There are 3 mezzanine cards supported in UCS B series blades:
    Cisco UCS M81KR Virtual Interface Card - Cisco developed HBA/NIC that was purpose build for virtualization. Can present anywhere from 1 to 54 vHBAs/vNICs to phyiscal server.

  • Cisco UCS Blade Deployment Without N5K or N7K ?

    Dear all,
    Is it possbile to deploy cisco UCS blade solution with only Blade Chassis, FI, FEX/IOM and using third party SAN and LAN switch ?
    Thanks

    Yes of course !
    There are many installations with e.g. Brocade FC switches
    The only caveat I see: are your uplink ethernet switches 1G or 10G; technically either one will work, however, with 1 G Northbound connectivity, some data flows are limited in bandwidth. see below

  • Ethernet controller driver not installing after Windows Server 2008 installation on Cisco UCS blade

    I am using MDT 2010 to deploy Windows Server 2008 to a Cisco UCS B200 blade. The OS and hotfixes install with no problem. The system reboots and attempts to connect to the deployment share to continue with the task sequence and I receive an error stating
    "A connection to the deployment share could not be made. The following networking device did not have a driver installed. PCI\VEN_1137&DEV_0043&SUBSYS_00481137&REV_A2"
    The driver in question is the driver for the Ethernet controller for the UCS blade. More specifically, it is the network driver for the Palo card in the UCS Chassis. When I Ignore or Abort the install, I am able to manually install the driver and restart the
    task sequence. The build then completes successfully with no further issue. I just cannot seem to automate the driver install. Has anyone dealt with this type of issue?

    Vik and stealthfield - thank you for your responses.
    I was preparing a script to manually move the driver into the c:\windows\inf location when I had to stop to create a new task sequence for a different build. It was while building this task sequence that I found the soulution to the problem.
    In the Post Install -> Inject Drivers step of the Task Sequence, I noticed that it was executing a command of type "Inject Drivers" with a selection profile of "All Drivers" and "Install only matching drivers
    from the selection profile" selected.         
    I changed this to run a command of type "Run Command Line" and specified that it execute "%Scriptroot%\ZTIdrivers.wsf". I noticed that this was selected in one of my other builds that was working properly, so I thought I'd
    give it a try. - IT WORKED.
    So to sum up, the solution was to change the type of command being executed in the "Post Install -> Inject Drivers" step of the task sequence. After this change, the machine came up and continued the task sequence with no further issues.
    Thanks again for the responses - They were helpful and I do appreciate it.

  • Cisco UCS Blades and vSphere DPM

    I followed this guide:
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-8582
    And it worked, but I have 2 problems.
    1) The blade being put into Standby starts back up immediately - almost like a reboot -
    and doesn't stay in Standby mode
    2) The Blade being put into Standby mode has Faults on all vFabric's etc because it is
    "off"
    Any suggestions?
    Jim

    Hi Rob and Jim,
    How did you guys progress with this one?  I am having the same issue and be interested to know the solution.
    My environment is vSphere 5.0 with B230 M2 and DPM is not yet enabled.  UCS Manager and CIMC are running 2.0(1s).
    On testing for Standby from the vSphere client, the blade reboots automatically (no power down).  A shutdown command gives the same result (which is a reboot) with a host connection failure alert.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • Cisco UCS Blades ¦ smbiosDump command returns "undefined, but settable"

    Hello Community -
    I have installed ESXi on a UCS B-Series Blade but have been unable to enumerate the UUID (set via Service Profile) with the smbiosDump ¦ More command.
    All other fields return correctly for Serial Number, etc... but not UUID. UUID returns:  "undefined, but settable".    Is this an ESXi and UCS problem?
    (NOTE, with ESX classic, dmidecoe ¦ more command enumerates UUID perfectly.)
    Thoughts, comments, suggestions, input welcome.
    Best all,
    Jason

    This was helpful.... esxcfg-info | grep UUID and is getting further.
    Just wondering and researching today if there is a command to actually take it further and set it...or is this done via the Service Profile ¦ Server Details only.
    Thanks Chris,

    I agree that phrasing is a bit off, note that the notice is talking about _products_ affected (or not), not particular _components_ of a product. 
    UCS seems to be off the hook. Not affected are: 
    Cisco UCS B-Series (Blade) Servers
    Cisco UCS C-Series (Stand alone Rack) Servers
    Cisco UCS Central
    Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnects
    Cisco UCS Invicta Series Solid State Systems
    CIMC and UCSM would be part of FI or B-or-C-series, etc.

  • Cisco UCS

    Looking for a Design Guide where I can see how exactly design and configure Cisco UCS Blade Series Servers with (2) 2200 IOMs to Fabric Interconnects.  I like to see how Fabric Interconnects connect to Cisco FEXs.
    The design guides I have downloaded from Cisco only talks about Cisco FEXs at a very high level, not going into too much details how they connect to  Fabric Interconnects.
    As I understand correctly, Fabric Interconnects itself have may server ports that connect down to Chassis IOMs.  Trying to understand how Server Ports on Fabric Interconnects can work inconjuction with Cisco FEXs.

    Hi Abbasali,
    Cisco FEXes in UCS are use for C-Series server integrations. You won't be able use the FEXes to expand the number of ports on your fabric interconnect.

  • Ask the Experts: Single Sign-On with Cisco WebEx Meetings Server, Internet Reverse Proxy, and Enterprise License Manager Solutions

    With Arun Kumar
    Welcome to the Cisco Support Community Ask the Expert conversation. This is an opportunity to learn and ask questions about Single Sign-On (SSO) with Cisco WebEx Meetings Server (Cisco WMS), Internet Reverse Proxy (IRP), and Enterprise License Manager (ELM) solutions.
    SSO standards such as Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0 provide secure mechanisms for passing credentials and related information between different websites that have their own authorization and authentication systems. SSO enables simplified user authentication and management.
    IRP provides public access, enabling users to host or attend meetings from the Internet and mobile devices. Although IRP is optional, Cisco encourages its use because it provides a better user experience for your mobile workforce.
    Example question topics include:
    SSO profiles and SAML 2.0 Identity providers (IdPs) supported in Cisco WMS
    Basic configuration of IdPs
    Interaction between IdPs and Cisco WMS
    Difference between the cloud client implementation and Cisco WMS
    Meeting access behavior in a split-horizon network topology with SSO
    How to enable public access to Cisco WMS
    Cisco WMS ELM operations
    Cisco WMS ELM compared to other unified communications ELM or standalone ELM and compatibility/inoperability between them

  • Cisco UCS C220-M3 Server doesn't boot after adding Intel I350 Quad Port NIC

    Hello,
    We have purchased 2 Cisco UCS C220-M3 rack mounted servers (Single Processor) that have a dual port I350 LOM. We also purchased two Intel I350 Quad Port NICs to expand the available ports on each server from 2 to 6.
    The problem we are facing is that the server will not complete the boot process unless we disable either the LOM or the Quad Port NIC. We have tried numerous settings in the BIOS area but we haven't managed to have them both working.
    The I350 Quad Port NICs are from Intel and not from Cisco and we are running the latest FW/BIOS on the Servers as of March 10 2015.
    We have followed the steps described in the installation guide to install them.
    Could you provide some light in this situation please, what are our options?
    P.S. Although the LOMs are I350, the MAC Address Vendor is Cisco, is it possible that Cisco servers accept only Cisco Branded Expansion Cards?
    Thank you,
    George

    Hi Shawn,
    At least I'm not the only one having the same problem!
    You are trying to use the cards with the LOMs enabled?
    Which screen are you referring to in the first paragraph of your message?
    Mine sits in BIOS POST for about 10 minutes and then resets itself....
    We are also waiting for an answer from Cisco, so any findings/news will be posted here.
    Thanks,

  • Cisco UCS Management IP Address assigned twice?

    I have a blade chassis with 8 servers, and a pool of management addresses assigned to a service profile template.  All 8 servers are built from this template.  There are 8 addresses in the pool.
    I am finding that 4 servers in I have exhausted all 8 addresses from the management pool.  Upon further investigation, it looks like all servers have taken 2 addresses from this pool.  One address is the address assigned to org-root/service-profile-name/ipv4-pooled-addr.  Another address (same server) is assigned to sys/chassis-number/blade-number/mgmt/ipv4-pooled-addr.
    What am I doing wrong?

    It is my understanding that this is the correct / default behaviour. When you created a mgmt pool, physical hardware automatically picks up an address after discovery. When you create a template, you do not necessarily need to assign the pool to the template as when you accociate a profile with hardware then you can access the KVM to the profile via the address assigned to the hardware. The upside of assigning a pool to the template / profile is the fact that that address will always live with the profile (server) as opposed to an address on the hardware which could have different profiles assigned at different times.  So, if you assign to the template / profile you will use 2 x the addresses from the pool.

Maybe you are looking for
