Cisco UCS Server - 1Gbps Fibre (SX)

Hi All,
Anyone can advise what kind of PCI-e Card I can use if I need a 1Gbps Fibre (SX) transceiver on the UCS C220 server?
Is the GLC-SX-MMD is compatible with any 10Gbps SFP+ card?
Thanks,
Eka

Hello there,
The GLC-SX-MMD transceiver can be used with the ports that supports the 1Gbps speed.
The UCS C220 supports 1Gbps speed with RJ-45 ports only.

Oracle 11g - Solaris 10 on cisco UCS server

I would like to know if anyone has experience with installing Oracle databases on cisco UCS servers. I recently took over a dba shop and my client has purchased a cisco UCS server and is planning on migrating some databases currently on dedicated servers running on Solaris 10 and others running on Linux RH 5.4 platforms. I need to find out if Oracle 11g and Solaris 10 is compatible and covered by Oracle licenses. Does anyone have any specs and/or information on this topic? Thanks in advance.
Jonathan Begazo-Leon

Jonathan,
there's a dedicated Oracle database forum (Database) where you can post your issue. In this forum here only 3rd party to Oracle migrations using the Oracle tools migration workbench or SQL Developer will be covered. As I can't move your thread, please close this one here and post your issue again in the database forum.
Thanks,

RAID 1 is not showing in UCS Server configuration utility

Hi,
I have a UCS Server C200 M2 Rack Mount and planning to install Windows 2008 R2 server in it. To make it High Available, i m configuring RAID 1 in it.
I can easily configure RAID from BIOS setup and after rebooting it shows me that the RAID 1 is found and Online in status.
Once I insert the Cisco UCS Server Configuration Utility 2.0 CD and try to check the RAID Configuration, it show me error message "SCU is unable to detect a RAID controller in the server"
If I move further to install OS then during installation setup gets hang and system reboots.
I attached the screen shot for review and help.
Kindly advise!
Thanks,
Aman

Hi Aman,
Can you download the Driver package from
http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/release.html?mdfid=283860950&flowid=25801&softwareid=283291009&os=Windows%202008%20R2%20(x64)&release=1.3(1.1)&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=latest
And extract w2k8r2_intich10r_13.21.0614.2010.zip for the Intel ICH10R integrated RAID controller.
Try Browsing to this Driver either from the SCU or during the direct OS reinstall and make sure
"Hide drivers that are not compatible with hardware on this computer" is unchecked to be able to point to the Driver
I assume you are seeing the problem as described in the RAID configuration issues in
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/ts/guide/TS_2Server.html
Installing Windows 2008 64-bit and RAID controller had issues.
LSI drivers are not bundled in Windows 2008 64-bit. These must be installed during the installation process. During the install process, if the hard drives fail to be detected, use the load driver option to point the drives to the correct drivers for the LSI controller in the system. The drivers can be loaded using a USB drive. When loaded, the hard drives are displayed and the hard drive for the OS can be selected.
Please let me know how the installation goes.

Gaurav Samanta

Running CUCM 8x/9x on Cisco UCS - Design

Hi,
I have a design question popping in my mind regarding running CUCM 8.X/9X on UCS.
Let us say that I have initially configured a CUCM Publisher and Subscriber to run on a Cisco UCS server using the VMware OVA Template that allows for 2500 IP Phones.
Both CUCM servers have been installed and setup using the specs from an OVA that allows 2500 IP Phones. Later, I decide to increase the capacity of the same hosts from 2500 IP Phones to support 7500 IP Phones.
Do I need to build up new CUCM servers using an OVA Template that allows 7500 IP Phones per server or do I modify the existing CUCM VMware host settings such as increase the RAM, HDD, etc.
Warm regards,
JK.

Check out the resize support:
http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Unified_Communications_VMware_Requirements#Resize_Virtual_Machine
Since the 2500 OVA have different storage requirements from the 7500 OVA you will need to rebuild the VM for full support.

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,
Jaffer Ali

Problem on installing Solaris 10 on Cisco UCS-C24-M3S2 rack server.

I've got issue on installing Solaris 10 on Cisco UCS-C24-M3S2 rack server. Solaris 10 doesn't recognize UCSC-RAID-ROM55.

Hi dipaktimsina,
From the documentation below it looks like Solaris doesn't have support for the embedded raid controller with the ROM55 chip.

let me know if you have any questions and don't forget to rate any useful answers.

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,
George

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 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:

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
Like always.

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!

Can the Cisco UCS 6120XP direct attach the EMC CX4-120 by fibre protocol ?

Hi all
I have two question for Cisco UCS
Q1: Can the Cisco UCS 6120XP direct attach the EMC CX4-120 by fibre protocol ?
Q2: I know the UCS 61XX Series support the Cisco SAN Switch(MDS).But we are only Brocade san switch ,
so UCS 61XX Series supoort Brocade san switch ?
Thanks , I really want to know the information .

Q1: The 6120s run in NPV (N_Port Virtualization) mode which means it acts as a proxy for the blade vHBAs and doesn't participate in flogi (fabric logins). When a fabric switch runs in this mode it requires an uplink to a faber switch for flogi and zoning. Due to this you cannot direct attach the the 6120 to an array's front-end fiber ports.
Q2: Yes you can uplink the 6120 to a Brocade fabric as long as the Brocade supports NPIV.

Hello,
I believe you'll get better answer at:
"https://supportforums.cisco.com/search.jspa?peopleEnabled=true&userID=&containerType=14&container=2003&spotlight=true&q=UCS"
my best guess is to check the LAN config on the UCS. It seems its trying to load balance the traffic in Active-Active rather than Active-Standby.
