Cisco UCS Manager not discovering C240 server

Question

Hello, Cisco community!
Currenlty UCS manager shows two Fabric Interconnects, and two Fabric Extenders, but for some reason my server isn't showing up
Here is the birds eye view:
I have my C240 connected with two 10GbE twinax cables, each going to one fabric extender. (2 FEX total)
I have two 10GbE twinax cables connected from the fiber module of each FEX to each Fabric interconnects. (2 FI total)
The fabric interconnect ports L1 and L2 ports are connected to their corresponding ports. So their connected to each other.
I run 'show cluster extended-state' on the primary FI and this is what i get:
FI-A# show cluster extended-state
Cluster Id: 0xebaad0e28ded11e3-0x86d4002a6a153d84
Start time: Wed Feb  5 16:07:44 2014
Last election time: Wed Feb  5 16:23:26 2014
A: UP, PRIMARY
B: UP, SUBORDINATE
A: memb state UP, lead state PRIMARY, mgmt services state: UP
B: memb state UP, lead state SUBORDINATE, mgmt services state: UP
   heartbeat state PRIMARY_OK
INTERNAL NETWORK INTERFACES:
eth1, UP
eth2, UP
HA NOT READY
No device connected to this Fabric Interconnect
After configuring the server-side ports on each FI, the server still doesn't show up
Any idea are highly appreciated!!

Answer 1

It's good to know that the Fabric Interconnects don't need upstream connectivity, so we can scratch that from our list of possible issues.
For clarity, here are the important firware versions:
CMIC - 1.5(3), cisco recommends a minimum of 1.4(6)
BIOS - 1.5.1c, cisco recommends a minumum of 1.4.7a
vNIC - 2.1(1c), cisco recommends a minumum of 2.1(0.367e)
So, we can cross out firware mis-matches from the list.
wdey,
I tried going trough UCS Manager and looking where i could configure the out-of-band IP management pool, but I can't find the right place to do that. Here is a screen shot of the VLAN tab of my UCS Manager.
Could you eleborate more on the process of how to do this? This might fix the issue.
Also, I noticed that in the BIOs setting screen, under Advanced -> LOM and PCIe Slots configuration -> PCIe Slot ID: 2(VIC 1225) it says Option ROM Status Not Loaded. Do you think this might have something to do with server discovery?
Thanks alot for the help guys It's really much apprecaited.
