Cisco UCS C210 M1 server certified for Unified Communications
Hello:
Our VAR is telling us that HP and Cisco are splitting up. We're an HP shop today and the MCS 7800-H series routers were a perfect fit. Our VAR is now telling us we have to go with the rebranded IBM systems. BUT I would like to avoid the IBM servers. And the Cisco servers look attractive. But I've been unable to determine if the Cisco UCS C210 M1 server is certified for various Unified Communications applications (Communications Manager, Unity, Cisco Emergency Responder, ICM, CVP, etc.).
Has anyone heard of any Unified Communications deployments on UCS hardware?
Thanks,
Ken
Mr. Schroeder:
Thank you for the information. Timing is everything. We'll likely have to order our equipment in May of this year. I'd love to start getting Cisco UCS hardware in. Oh well... maybe next year!

Unable to enable HBA Card in the Cisco UCS c22 m3 server
Hi All,
I need your help desperately to setup the cisco ucs c22 m3 server in our environment. We have a C22 M3 server and I did the basic config of CIMC and we have a LSI megaraid controller connected to one of the PCIe and the other PCIe has a dual port 8gb HBA card. We installed the RAID and we can see the LSI Megaraid controller. But I cannot see the HBA card and there is noo light near the card. I hope I need to enable something so that the card should work. I tried enabling in the BIOS menu I can see the PCIe slot is enabled but I am unable to see the HBA functioning. Couldyou pleasehelp me to resolve this.Dear Manuel,
Thanks for replying me. See the answers for your queries.
What kind of HBA card are you trying to use?
If I am not wrong we are using "Qlogic QLE2562, 8Gb dual port Fibre Channel HBA".
How many CPUs do you have installed on your server?
I opened the box and saw only 1 CPU installed. But the solution is given by CISCO pre sales. We have 2 PCIe slots configured. One for LSI RAID controller and the other with dual port Fibre Channel HBA.
Awaiting your reply.
Thanks and Regards,

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,
GeorgeHi 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 C220 M3S Server OS random shutdowns
Hello good day, I am facing some issues with the Cisco UCS indicated in the subject, I have created a Raid 1 beetwen 2 HDD's of 1 TB each one, also upgraded the firmware of the UCS with the 2.0(3f) HUU tools, and upgraded everything. Then I installed Windows Server 2012 R2 Eval version (I have a proper license to install but wanted to test the OS first). Now some times the OS/Server just shutsdown, and whenever I go in to the Web GUI to check it out, it's actually powered down, I have checked the "Faults and Logs" --> System Event Logs, and I can see this happening:
*The timestamp is from below to the top on both logs*

There is something really itching, is it because I have Evaluation version of the Windows Server...?
Regards.Ok, I feel kind of dumb now, I have checked the tech evaluation page on Microsoft, and if it's not connected to the internet it will not inherit the three months evaluation trial, which I thought would come activated already, and only allows you up to 10 days grace period with the rearm command .... :/
The process C:\Windows\system32\wlms\wlms.exe (WIN-UDPFG5O0K37) has initiated the shutdown of computer WIN-UDPFG5O0K37 on behalf of user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM for the following reason: Other (Planned)
Reason Code: 0x80000000
Shutdown Type: shutdown
Comment: The license period for this installation of Windows has expired. The operating system is shutting down.
This is what made me check it out today, I will connect it to the internet and let it activate... Meanwhile the command for the 10 days grace is:
Slmgr /rearm
Shutdown –r

License Migration for Unified Communications.
Hi guys. I need assistance for migrate the existing licenses for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Cisco Unity Connection and Cisco Unified Contact Center Express devices to be valid in the new version installed.
The existing versions are:
* Cisco Unified Communications Manager 5.0
* Cisco Unity 4.0
* Cisco Unified Contact Center Express 4.5
The new versions are:
* Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.6
* Cisco Unity Connection 8.6
* Cisco Unified Contact Center Express 8.5
I tried to use the licensing tools such as "Cisco Licensing" ([email protected]) and "Product License Registration" (https://tools.cisco.com/SWIFT/LicensingUI/lookupLicenseRehost) but I have not obtained satisfactory results.
The Product License Registration requieres the following information but I don't know this:
UDI Product ID:
UDI Serial Number:
Device Credential:
Someone knows what is the best way to migrate licenses for UC applications?
I appreciate any cooperation in this case.
Thanks a lot.
Ernesto GonzalezHi Ernesto,
For UCCX 4.5 to 8.5, as there is no direct path available for upgrade , you need to use an intermediate version 7.0 to restaore the 4.5 data. From UCCX 7.0 with latest SR you have to perfrom one more upgrade to reach the version 8.5.
You can use the ordering guides to get to know about the license migration.

Best practice RAID configuration for UCS C260 M2 for Unified Communications?
I have two UCS C260 M2 servers with 16 drives (PID: C260-BASE-2646) and I am trying to figure out what the best practice is for setting up the RAID.
I will be running CUCM, CUP, CUC, Prime, etc. for about 2000 phone environment.
If anyone can offer real world suggestions that would be great. I also have a redundnat server.The RAID setup depends a bit on your specific configuration; however, there is a guide for Cisco Collaboration on Virtual Servers that you can review here:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/virtual/CUCM_BK_CF3D71B4_00_cucm_virtual_servers/CUCM_BK_CF3D71B4_00_cucm_virtual_servers_chapter_010.html#CUCM_TK_C3AD2645_00
If your server is spec'd as a Tested Reference Configuration (TRC) then the C260M2 TRC1 would have 16 HDD that you would configure/split into 2 x 8HDD RAID 5 arrays.

I need advise about setting up a server plan for a community.
I have the following situation:
The website has a community with, expected in the fist stage, 100,000 registered members. This community will be first launched in the Netherlands and later worldwide. A member has 25 MB of disk space to store photos or something. You can compare the community with for example hyves (a dutch community site similar to MySpace)
Besides the community the site will also have a web shop and some information pages about the products that will be sold in the shop. The web shop will not have a large amount of product in store, however the expectation is that it will attract a large amount of customers.
My question is; what do I need to keep this running smooth (quick page loads) and secure (data loss, back-up servers), and make it easy to expand the server park.
URLs to the example sites:
Hyves: www.hyves.nl
MySpace: www.myspace.com>Can you clarify that, because I thought the Xserve RAID is the server for storage?
The XServe RAID is not a 'server for storage'. It's just an array. In order to provide storage it needs to be connected, via Fiber Channel to a host computer. This is fine if you have one web server, but becomes tricky when you have multiple. unless you're doing some very fancy load balancing, you're likely to want all the content accessible to all web servers at the same time. To do that you typically implement a fiber channel SAN (every host connects to the XServe RAID via a fiber channel connection), or you implement a NAS host where one server is attached to the XServe RAID and it shares the content to other hosts via AFP, NFS or similar.
This is fine for small installations but my point is that if you grow to hundreds of terabytes of storage, the XServe RAID might not be the best bet. It works well enough at tens of terabytes but there are other considerations when you get very large.
For example, if you have one XServe host acting as an AFP or NFS 'head', what happens to your site when that server crashes? or needs a Software Update? Your network is going to go down. For high availability networks you might consider a dedicated NAS or SAN infrastructure that has higher redundancy, built-in failover and is designed for very large storage arrays. If you expect to grow there you might be better off starting off with that, rather than starting with an XServe RAID and migrating the data later on.
Other than that, the rest of it is good for a start, but you need to consider redundancy (what do you do if a server crashes?) and scale (what do you do when you get more traffic than your web server can handle?).
Typically these problems are solved via load balancers - appliances that sit in front of the application server and dynamically routes connections to whaever machine is best able to respond to the request. These boxes (at least the good ones) don't come cheap, but they're essential if you expect your site to grow past a single server setup. -
