Cisco VIC 1225 CNA Connectivity Options for 10G Upgrade

I've currently got an opportunity to upgrade a C220M3 UCS server from the standard Intel 1G LOM's to 10G and I'm looking at various ways to achieve this. This is for a standalone UCS server running VMware.
At the present time in this environment there isn't a 10G uplink switch port that can be used to connect a 10G UCS port to, so I'm looking at ways to at least complete the 10G hardware upgrade on the UCS side and have that component completed, while having a transition period of 1G connectivity in the short term.
It seems the VIC 1225 is the obvious choice for this, as price wise it's reasonable and it's fully featured, even if we only need the 10G ethernet (no FCoE in the short term).
One option I was looking at was to use the 1225T model, as this supports 10BaseT backwards compatible with 1000BaseT. However while it's an easy choice on the UCS, Cisco don't seem to have any 10G copper modules on the switch side, except in specific models in the Nexus family. This limits our switching options in the future (this rules out the use of 4500-X's or 3850s for example).
10G fibre is an option, as is Twinax, however this brings me to my next few questions.
1. It appears that based on the C220M3 spec sheet at http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/products/collateral/servers-unified-computing/ucs-c-series-rack-servers/C220M3_SFF_SpecSheet.pdf (see Table 14) that the 1225 doesn't support Twinax. In fact it's the only NIC and CNA listed that apparently doesn't support it, which seems odd. Is this correct, and what is the reason behind this? Is this a hardware issue, a software issue or a documentation issue?
2. If Cisco Twinax is not an option, does the 1225 support 1G SFPs such as the GLC-SX-MM?
3. It looks like the X520 card for UCS might work, as I believe it can run with dual-rate 1G/10G SFPs. Has anyone tried this or have any comments on how those work with UCS?
Thanks,
Reuben

The 1225 (UCSC-PCIE-CSC-02) does supports twinax cables, the documentation has a type-o. If you look at the documentation for the c240 M3 that supports the same 1225 adapter, you will see that this card does supports the twinax cables (see attach screenshots). In the documentation it shows that the 1225T supports twinax but this card comes with 2 10GBASE-T ports so it won't support either twinax cables or SFPs.
Please let me know is this is helpful

Is Cisco VIC 1225 supported on C210M2?

According to the spec-sheet, the only supported Cisco CNA would be P81E. P81E is EoS with migration diverted towards 1225, but when looking at the datasheet for 1225, it seems like only newer hardware is supported.
Can anyone confirm/deny if this would be a supported scenario or not?

Hello Marcus,
VIC 1225 is not supported on C210M2 Server.
Please find the below link for VIC 1225/1225T and attached screen shot for supported servers list:-

Universe Connection - options for specifying database authentication

Are there any options for specifying the id and password for a database connection from the Universe Designer other than entering them directly into the tool? Our information security group prefers to administer security accounts (i.e. user id's and passwords) in standard security products as compared to having to know development tools (e.g. Business Objects).
Thank you.

to create a connection you have to enter a user name or password for this connection.
in your case, your Administrator can create those connections in the designer before they create any universe and then give an access to which developers access which connections to create specific universes.
to create a connection there is no other way more than entering the user name and password.
in the XI 3.0 there is some new and very good option "User BusinessObjects Credentials Mapping"
which i think send the current connected business objects user name and password to the connection user name and password.
its just map the user name of the BO system to the user name of the connection, and same thing for the password, and for this you have to have a DB user name for every BusinessObjects user name,
this is wide use with oracle databases.
good luck

Lost Open Internet Connection option for wireless on my tool bar

Does anyone know how I can bring back the Open Internet Connection option on my tool bar? I'm hoping if I can open that it will help me solve why I can't connect to the land line in my office. [email protected]

Open *System Preferences* and the choose Network. Pick Airport. At the bottom next to the Options button see if the *Show AirPort status in menu bar* is checked. Check it and it should pop back where it was.
If it's PPPoE click it and there will be a similar choice to show it in the menu bar.

My new HP Pavilion desktop has no usb connection option for my old Canon Pixma iP 2600 printer

Greetings:
I can no longer locate the installation disk for my my old Canon Pixma iP 2600 printer. I'm able to install it w/the add a printer feature in the control panel, but the desktop fails to read that the printer is connected via usb cord. I'm not finding any option to install it as a usb printer. Please help asap. I can't afford to replace the printer, and I have several documents I have to print today or early tomorrow, or there will be dire financial complications for me. I NEVER had this problem w/Dell. (the operating system is windows seven, which is exactly what i was running on my older dell model - i have searched this forum and located a similar question, but that querent was able to find a usb option in the drop down menu for port installation. that option is absent in my attempts).
Thank you!

Server connectivity options for Storage

Dear Gurus,
We have existing servers in our environment with HBAs and NICs. We are not planning to use Unified fabric (CNA etc) based architecture. We want our storage network to be separated from IP network.
However, can I connect HBA of my servers to FC SFP in FEX or Nexus 5Ks. If yes, how would be the subsequent connectivity towards SAN switch.
Any pointer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

N5K can be configured to work as a pure Ethernet, pure FC, or hybrid FC/Ethernet switch support native FC.
see eg. https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2236539
FEX doesn't support native FC !
From N5k, you can create ISL links to a FC fabric, be it MDS,.....
Here a list of N5k FC features; what is not supported is IVR ! BB credits are 240 !

Connectivity Option for ODBC Databases

I have Gupta SQLBase database that I can connect using excel & PowerPivot fine using ODBC connection, but I don't see an option on Power Query for connection to other Data sources such as ODBC. Where is this option?

It's a frequent request that we hope to get to soon, but Power Query doesn't yet support connection to arbitrary ODBC data sources.

C220 w/ VIC 1225 directly connected to NAS

Hello, does anyone know if I can directly connect a VIC1225 port to a 10GB port on a NAS system? I would be using a twinax cable to do so. My only concern is that since they are like devices, I could need some sort of twinax crossover cable. Could it be that either the VIC1225 or the NAS 10GB port have auto sensing capabilities to switch the send/receive pair?

Please find this document, as this would be useful for troubleshooting.

What are payment options for the upgrade?

I was wondering if I can buy the 2.0 upgrade for the $9.95 on the iTunes store with a iTunes gift card? Or will I need to use a credit card for it?

Dragoncqb wrote:
I think is a bunch of bull you have to pay for the update iphone users dont. And before you say it they pay monthly to AT&T not apple.
You really need to do your research on this subject.
I software is free to iPhone users NOT because of the contracts that people have with AT&T.
It is free because Apple decided to account for the iPhone (and Apple TV) differently.
When you pay your $400 for the iPhone they do not recognise the full $400 as a sale.
What they do (and this has been very clearly stated by Apple), is take 1/24 of the $400 each month.
This is not money from AT&T is is the money that was paid for the phone.
Now because in effect Apple are not taking the revenue and profit for the full phone at point of sale and instead only take a % every month the buyer is paying for the phone over the 24 month period.
Therefore Apple can and will give free software updates because in effect the product sold is not complete and can take money as they add features.
This complicated accounting method was caused by the EXON issues and the Sabane Oxley laws that resulted from that case.
If you would like to know more, so that you understand rather than rant, you can read more here in an excellent article that explains it in more detail :-
http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/06/25/thehidden_financial_impact_of_applesiphone.html
The iPod touch on the other hand is accounted for like all other products, all revenue / profit taken at time of sale. If Apple gave the software Upgrades (not bug fixes as they are free) away for free they would be breaking the law as it would deprive shareholders of potential revenue that should have been charged for adding features to a product that has been already sold. That is why we ahd to pay for the iMac Airport 'N' drivers as well.

Cisco UCS C220 with VIC 1225

Hello,
We have Cisco UCS C220 M3 with VIC 1225 card installed. We connected only one 10G port of VIC 1225 to Nexus 5548UP switch. But I do not see this port on switch and in CIMI the status for this port shows Link Down. I wanted to to iSCSI boot from storage NetApp FAS2240 but since I don't see this port on my Nexus switch I am unable to do boot from NetApp. I tried both ports on VIC 1225 with same result. Please I need help in this matter. I know I am missing something very simple but can't figure this out.
Thanks,
Salman

Hi Kenny,
Here is the answers:
-What slot is this card installed in?
Mezzenine
-How many CPUs does the server have installed? (1 OR 2 CPUs can make the difference)
2x 2.90 GHz E5-2690/135W 8C/20MB Cache/DDR3 1600MHz
-Is the PCIe slot enabled in BIOS? << Let us know if you don't know how to check it from CIMC
I believe I did. Server>BIOS>BIOS advanced> PCIe (Let me know if this correct)
-Have you confirmed that the cable is good?
I have changed four cables. I am using SFP-H10GB-CU2M= Twinax cable.
-If the switch does not even see the port and CIMC says it is down, have you confirmed the switch port is properly configured?
CIMI says “Link Down” in VIC adapter General area. The switch interface config has only “switchport mode access” in default vlan 1.
-What is the firmware running on the server and the OS?
We upgraded the firmware with latest ucs-c220-huu-1.5.4-3.iso.
Let me share with you the complete BoM of the server:
UCSC-C220-M3S              1x UCS C220 M3 SFF w/o CPU mem HDD PCIe PSU w/ rail kit

Cisco-Linksys Router and no PPPOA Option for Conne...

Hi all!
New here and just hoping to get some here!
We are using a BT Business hub Router and it is having a few issues with wireless connectivity, so I would like to use another router to see if it is our equipment or if it is the router itself.
I have a Cisco Linksys E1000 Router and after looking at the BT router I can see that the connection type is set to PPPOA with a username and password. I do know the username and password so that isnt an issue, however on the Cisco router there is no option for PPPOA, the only options are:
Static IP, DHCP, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, and BigPond
There is a connection in the back of the cisco router for the ADSL cable, I was just wondering if there is a way to work around this?
Thanks very much!!

8130 Bluetooth Connect Option Missing for Some Devices

I cannot connect to some bluetooth devices on my Blackberry 8130. Most devices I pair with have a connect option in the bluetooth menu but some don't, even though they have been successfully paired. I have a specific device, a Holux H-1200 GPS that I used OK in the past with my 8130 but now refuses to connect and I cannot manually conect since there is no Connect Option for this particular device in the list of paired devices. I have deleted and rediscovered the device multipe times. When I pair successfully the properties show the Services SPP slave listed. I have tried to enable and disable Trused and Encryption but nothing helps. The Connect Option is present for all paired devices except 2 or 3 on my BB. My bluetooth options are set at Discoverable yes, allow outgoing calls yes, address book transfer all entries, security level high, and all services are check marked. I am with Verizon and my phone software level is 4.5.0.56.

In my own personal experience I have found that sometimes elements of the page (such as the Get Sample or Buy buttons) don't load in or load in incorrectly. Most of the time I've found that simply going to another page then back to the previous page fixes the issue or, like you have done, browsing from another devices shows the page just fine.

No Connection Type for the 10g app server in jdev 11?

how to i connect to a 10g app sever in jdev. there is no connect type for 10g which one if any should i use?
thanks
Neil

There is no direct connection to OAS 10g - note that ADF 11g applications can't be deployed to OAS 10g as they require Java EE 5.0 support.
You can create EAR/WAR files from JDeveloper and use Ant to deploy to OAS 10g or use the OAS 10g management console to deploy those files.
