Cisco UCS Managment interface

Hi Dear
Which is the function of the management interface of a Cisco UCS server? Only monitoring ?
Best Regards

Hi,
The management interface present in the Cisco UCS C-Series is a out-of-band interface that provides to you access to Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) where you can perform all management/monitoring tasks related the hardware set.
You can find more information about the CIMC in this link:

Monitoring Cisco UCS Manager via HP System Information Manager 7.1 (SIM)

I am working with a customer to configure HP System Information Manager 7.1 (SIM) to monitor their Cisco UCS Manager.
The customer is looking to monitor the following:
- CPU Utilization on manager, blades, servers, etc...
- Memory utilization
- Network utilization
- System inventory
Alerting is needed for the following:
- Hardware failures: memory, power supply, drive, etc...
- Predictive failures
- Alert messages
I have the list of all the MIBs provided by Cisco but an having the following issues while loading them into HP SIM.
While loading MIB "CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-TC-MIB" I get the following error message:
Line 128: Error defining object: expected a label, found reserved symbol {
Line in MIB: SYNTAX Gauge32 {
Guage32 is imported from SNMPv2-SMI MIB
To get past this error I found a version of the MIB that removes all the textual conventions that where causing errors. I have attached the fixed MIB file to this discussion. With the fixed version of the MIB installed in SIM everything compiles and installs except the following two MIBS. CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-NOTIFS-MIBCISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-CONFORM-MIB Questions:
1. Is there any way to get the CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-TC-MIB MIB to install correctly into HP SIM?
2. Is my MIB load order setup correctly?
3. Has anyone had success getting HP SIM to monitor and alert for Cisco UCS manager?

Cisco UCS Management Pack Error

Hello,
I'm trying to configure the UCS Management pack for SCOM but when I try to configure in the Authoring pane, the IP + Username password, I have this error:
Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.

Cisco UCS Manager not discovering C240 server

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!!
-Alex

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.

Cisco UCS Management Pack for System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 Login Error

I have Cisco UCS 1.4 (3q) and just installed the MP v2.1 for Cisco UCS, however when I click on the "Management Pack Events" alert view in the SCOM console, there are error for event number 19900. The description of the error is as follows:
Description:
CISCO UCS R2 MP (https://10.x.x.x/nuova) [CISCO.UCS.R2.Proxy.LoadCache.ProbeAction.vbs] : CISCO UCS Login Error: Authentication failed (Code: 551)
I noticed that it's looking for the /nuova directory, but in order to login to our UCS environment, we usually just go to the IP address - so I'm wondering if that has something to do with it? I've verified that when going directly to the IP from Internet Explorer I can login using the opsmgr credentials we specifically created for this account. I've also gone through the process of creating a run-as account on the SCOM side and associated it with the correct profiles.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cisco Ironport management interface IP configuration?

Hi,
For configuring the management interface IP for Cisco Ironport device, should it be on the public IP address or private IP address? Could you please confirm the IP address desing for the ironport management interface? thanks
arman

Greetings Aman,
The answer to this question depends on several factors, what you intend to do with the appliance, how you intend on allowing access to the appliance and where it sits in your network. Typically customers will utilize the management interface on their internal network thus giving it a private IP. This way the web interface, ssh and ftp access are allowed internally but not to the public. Those services can be enabled on other interfaces as well, but the most common practice is to set up the management interface for internal access only on your private network.

Help with Cisco 5508 management interface

Hello,
I'm trying to verify some behaviors I'm seeing with my 5508 controller setup and forgive me for missing anything obvious, I've zero experience with this hardware and clueless on the best practices. With that said... out of the box I ran through the AutoInstall process.
I gave my service port an IP address on my subnet, 10.10.8.0/24 vlan 100 and gave the management interface the ip address 10.10.30.5/24 vlan 130
From my host I can ping the management interace 10.10.30.5 and the interface gateway 10.10.30.1
I cannot connect to the controller via 10.10.30.5 either through the web GUI or telnet
I can connect to the controller via 10.10.8.200 both through the web interface and telnet
while connected to the service port, I can ping the management port IP but I cannot ping the 10.10.30.1 gateway.
We have attached two test 3502I AP's and they found the controller and pulled correct ip addresses, clients can authenticate and access network resources as well as the Internet so for the most part, things are working but it concerns me that the management interface can't ping its own gateway.
Keep in mind, I did no other configurations besides what got configured in the AutoInstall process. What should I look at to resolve?
Thanks!
Mike

The service port is for out of band management and should not be connected to the network. If connected tot he network, it should not have connectivity to the management interface of the wlc.
You can create an ACL to block the service port ip to the managment vlan if you want. I normally do not connect the service port to the network.

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.

Nexus 1000v UCS Manager and Cisco UCS M81KR

Hello everyone
I am confused about how works the integration between N1K and UCS Manager:
First question:
If two VMs on different ESXi and different VEM but in the same VLAN,would like to talk each other, the data flow between them is managed from the upstream switch( in this case UCS Fabric Inteconnect), isn'it?
I created a Ethernet uplink port-profile on N1K in switch port mode access(100), I created a vEthernet port-profile for the VM in switchport mode access(100) as well. In the Fabric Interconnect I created a vNIC profile for the physical NICs of ESXi(where there are the VMs). Also I created the vlan 100(the same in N1K)
Second question: With the configuration above, if I include in the vNIC profile the vlan 100 (not as native vlan) only, the two VMs can not ping each other. Instead if I include in the vNIC profile only the defaul vlan(I think it is the vlan 1) as native vlan evereything works fine. WHY????
Third question: How it works the tagging vlan on Fabric interconnectr and also in N1K.
I tried to read differnt documents, but I did not understand.
Thanks

Best Practices in Deploying Cisco Nexus 1000V Series Switches on Cisco UCS B and C Series Cisco UCS Manager Servers
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps9441/ps9902/white_paper_c11-558242.html
If two VMs on different ESXi and different VEM but in the same VLAN,would like to talk each other, the data flow between them is managed from the upstream switch( in this case UCS Fabric Inteconnect), isn'it?
-Yes. Each ESX host with the VEM will have one or more dedicated NICs for the VEMs to communicate with the upstream network. These would be your 'type ethernet' port-profiles. The ustream network would need to bridge the vlan between the two physicall nics.
Second question: With the configuration above, if I include in the vNIC profile the vlan 100 (not as native vlan) only, the two VMs can not ping each other. Instead if I include in the vNIC profile only the defaul vlan(I think it is the vlan 1) as native vlan evereything works fine. WHY????
- The N1K port profiles are switchport access making them untagged. This would be the native vlan in ucs. If there is no native vlan in the UCS configuration, we do not have the upstream networking bridging the vlan.
Third question: How it works the tagging vlan on Fabric interconnectr and also in N1K.
- All ports on the UCS are effectively trunks and you can define what vlans are allowed on the trunk as well as what vlan is passed natively or untagged. In N1K, you will want to leave your vEthernet port profiles as 'switchport mode access'. For your Ethernet profiles, you will want them to be 'switchport mode trunk'. Use an used used vlan as the native vlan. All production vlans will be passed from N1K to UCS as tagged vlans.

How to move a standalone Cisco C series to UCS managed service profile without losing data?

Hi,
We currently have a standalone cisco C series server with Windows 2012 installed on the local disks. We need to move this server to Cisco UCS managed with a service profile but cannot lose the existing data and OS boot method.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks

Hi Adrian,
To be able to accomplish this set the local disk policy to "Any Configuration" this way UCSM won't overwrite the current raid configuration on the server.
See link below

SNMP Polling from UCS Manager 1.4

I am having trouble with SNMP Polling from UCS Manager 1.4(1j).
I seem to only get SNMP data from Nexus such as those described in (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus5000/sw/mib/reference/NX5000_MIBRef.html) I don't see any OIDs corresponding to those mentioned specifically for UCS listed in (ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/mibs/supportlists/ucs/ucs-manager-supportlist.html).
Documentation on the cisco web site said that UCS Manager 1.4(1) and above will have MIBS such as CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-EQUIPMENT-MIB available.
Is there a separate IP addresses I should poll for these or any specific things that need to be set up?
I am not sure how we can gain access to the UCS related MIB objects exactly. The description on SNMP enable for UCS Manager is very brief (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/sw/gui/config/guide/1.4/UCSM_GUI_Configuration_Guide_1_4_chapter6.html#task_2054446421216050764)
It only described the community string set up under UCS Manager ->Admin->Communication Management -> Communication Services, bu didn’t really say anything about which IP addresses from the Management Interfaces should be used to get them.
Has anyone successfully polled data from say the CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-EQUIPMENT-MIB and be able to help?
Thanks in advance.

Yes indeed.
I learnt about the CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-EQUIPMENT-MIB and the other Cisco UCS Manager MIB Support list by selecting UCS Manager under the Unified Computing drop down on this http page you quoted.
(http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/sw/mib/reference/UCS_MIBRef.html)
Is there anything specific from those docs you are referring to that would make it such that we get the Nexus MIBs rather than ones under UCS Manager?
The two IP addresses for Fabric Interconnect A and B under Management Interface only give us info from MIBs listed under the Nexus documentation only. Nothing fir say 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.719.1.15.
No SNMP data form the virtual IP address.
Not sure where data under 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.719.1.15 would be accessible

Hi Jackson,
Yes its is possible. Connect the storage array to the fabric interconnects using two 10GB links per storage processor. Connect each SP to both fabric interconnects and configure the ports on the fabric interconnect as “Appliance” ports from UCSM
For more information on how to connect Netapp storage using other protocols like iSCSI or FCOE please check the url below.

Cisco UCS with FEX system Component requirements

Hi ,
I am looking for quick suggestion for required components to have a VMware vSAN implemented using FEX system with maximum Fabric trough put. Ideally a configuration for without multipath using single Fabric switch and later on to be able to upgrade to Multipath fabric.
We are in great rush to provide POC concept and was looking if you folks can suggest me on this. If need be you want to talk to me more in detail I can available.
Appreciate your help here.
Who can I reach to able to pull up build and quote the configurations for implementing complete UCS solution.
Are these below components absolutely required ?
2 x Nexus 2232PP 10GE Fabric Extenders
The Cisco Nexus 2232PP 10GE provides 32 x 10Gb loss-less low latency Ethernet and Fiber Channel Over Ethernet (FCoE) Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) server ports and eight 10 Gb Ethernet and FCoE SFP+ uplink ports in a compact 1 rack unit (1RU) form factor. They enable Seamless inclusion of UCS rack servers into UCS Manager domain with UCS blade servers when connected to the UCS 6200 Fabric Interconnects, providing converged LAN, SAN, and management connectivity.
We currently have these below servers :
2 x UCSC-BASE-M2-C460
        524 GB RAM
        No SSDs
        No VIC Card
        4 x SAS 1 TB Drives
        1 x L1 Intel 1 Gbps Ethernet Adapter
        1 x L2 10Gbps Ethernet Adapter
        1 x LSI Mega RAID SAS 9240-8i (no RAID 5 support, Need a card that supports RAID5)
1 x UCSC-C240-M3L
        132 GB RAM
        30 TB SAS HDD
        1 x VIC Card
        1 x Intel I350 Gigabit Ethernet Card with 4 ports
        1 x LSI Mega RAID SAS 9240-8i (no RAID 5 support, Need a card that supports RAID5)
1 x 5548UP Nexus Switch ( Will I be able to use this switch in place of Nexus 2232PP 10GE Fabric Extenders to achieve complete UCS solution)

Cisco UCS Manager 2.2 supports an option to connect the C-Series Rack-Mount Server directly to the Fabric Interconnects. You do not need the Fabric Extenders. This option enables Cisco UCS Manager to manage the C-Series Rack-Mount Servers using a single cable for both management traffic and data traffic.
If you need high performance low latency (storage, for VMware VSAN), direct connection to UCS Fabric Interconnect and/or N5k is recommended.
