CUCM - UCS Server Replacement

Hi All,
We have installed CUCM 9.1.2 on UCS 220-M3 server (standby hardware). Now we are going to replace the UCS server.
Has any other vmware method or tool available to migrate the virtual machines one UCS to another UCS ? { VM's are resided in DAS) ?

Technically, Cisco only supports it if using shared storage- http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Unified_Communications_VMware_Requirements#VMware_vMotion
But it usually works fine from a technical standpoint. Just might not get support if something goes wrong with the migration.

What is the procedure of Call Manager upgrade from version CUCM 7.1 (MCS Server) to version CUCM 10.2 (on UCS server)

Hi
What is the procedure of Call Manager upgrade from version CUCM 7.1 (MCS Server) to version CUCM 10.2 (on UCS server) , please let me know the steps to what would be the backup procedures and upgrades.
Regards
Gaurav

I'd suggest reading this guide to make sure you have prepared your environment to support 10.x first. The link below also contains the upgrade path to 10.0(1).
One of the ways you can do this is:
1/ Apply refresh upgrade cop file on all servers in cluster.
2/ Upgrade the cluster to 8.6(2). Take a backup of the cluster.
3/ Build a cluster of 8.6(2) servers on VMs, and assign them the same hostnames and IP address as the hardware cluster. (You may need to keep these on a separate network until switching off the hardware machines)
4/ Restore the backup taken from the hardware cluster on to the VM cluster.
5/ Upgrade VM cluster to 10.0(1).

Mixing BE6000 UCS Server and "normal" UCS server in the same deployment

Hello,
I have been handed a project which has one high density BE6000 UCS server and a separate UCS C220 M3 server. The latter server was included to host a MediaSense call recording system but this will only use 2 of the available 8 vCPUs on the UCS C220 M3 server.
The total number of users is 200.
I want to implement a resilient system and so would like deploy two servers in a cluster for each of the following applications:
CUCM 10.5
Unity Connection 10.5
IM & Presence 10.5
As well as these applications there will be UCCX 10.6 and Cisco Unified Attendant Console Advanced (10.5) but these will be deployed as single servers.
Looking at the UCS servers they have capacity for me to split the CUCM/CUC/IMP clusters between them.
I cannot see any technical reason why this will not work but do not want to be caught by any Cisco support policies.
If I were to implement the system in this way would there be any issues with the deployment or getting support from TAC.
The separate UCS C220 M3 server has 8 x 8GB RAM (64 total) and 8 x 300GB HDD plus a quad Ethernet card.

James first of all I am not sure I understand your query in detail. Do you mean you have two UCS220 M3 servers? and one of them is currently running BE6000?
Having said that, the key here is to carefully plan your deployment against the capacity of the servers you have,.
Eg..Deploying 200 Users, using the ff OVA
UCS 220 M3 server 1: (using default TRC ie 8vCPU with 8GB per vCPU)
Publisher (2500 cucm OVA): 1vCPU (6GB RAM), 80GB HD
IMP-Publisher (1,000 OVA) :1vCPU(2GB RAM), 80GB HD
CUC-publisher (1,000 users OVA) :2vCPU(6GB)--NB 1vCPU is reserved for ESXI, 160GB HD
UCCX-Master: (300 agent OVA): 2 vCPU (8GB) and 292GB HDD
With this placement you have a total of 22GB RAM and 612HDD used up

UCS Server CPU Allocation

Dear Guys...
As i am aware aabout UCS server and UCS system..
one physicla cpu is equal to virtual cpu...
but as i seen many application that having more that 6 cpu need i want to run on one UCS sever...how can adjust the cpu for them?
As i have given the BOQ below, it is having 2 servers and 4 CPU but i need to isntall many application:
CUCM
CCUCN
CCX
WEBEX
presence
SO it takes around 5-6 cpu for installation...and also 1 cpu per vmware software also need...
so that can you help me to correct for this issue and easy way to understand and configure the correct ucs server for my applications...?
Thanks and Regard's

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.

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.

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.

Can we install PGW 2200 Softswitch on UCS Server?

Dear friend.
I intend to build a backup system for my customer using PGW2200 Softswitch.
I have read that it should be install on Sun Netra X4270 platform. So can I install it on UCS server? Have anybody have experence in this system.
Thanks for your time
Vinh Phan

On UCS server it supported 9.1 and after named as vPGW. So you have to install Solaris OS first and top it vPGW application .
Any degraded version would not supported on UCS server.

Monitoring on UCS server (ESXi)

Hello all,
I am wondering normally how we monitor UCS server( I mean ESXi).
The virual machine could be monitoring via SNMP.
vCenter could provide us system status.
Could we set up SNMP on VMWare ESXi ? So we could monitor through HP Openview etc.
Thanks a lot,
Howard

Hi,
I'm not sure if HP openview is supported, but you can refer to the UCS SNMP and MIB configuration guides below:

[Error] Server replace my certificate

Suddenly, was replaced my certificate VeriSign on OS X Server and the Profile Manager didn't make tasks because the certificate was invalid.
We solved it adding again the VeriSign certificate and it worked again.
But, why the OS X Server replaced the certificate for itself? I attach the console errors.

So based on what you are telling me...
- "limited knowledge when it comes to servers and cisco routers...."
- "the cisco has been up and running for a looong time without any problems"
I would not recommend you change to OS X Server as your NAT router.
To fully manage NAT on OS X Server, you need to do command-line editing for port mapping. Even with experience, I would prefer to leave that function to the router.
I've had good luck with linksys when it comes to basic routing requirements. I'm not sure what trouble you had in the past, but for me they've been very stable and great bang for the buck.
If you would like to block specific sites, for < $100 this router will provide NAT and a pretty decent set of firewall features:

UCS Procedure Replacement

Hi,
We had recently a problem on a UCS C210 and after some test with the TAC, it appears that we need to replace the whole unit.
On this server, We are running a CUCM pub, a CUC sub and a TFTP...
The fact that there's the pub on the unit involve that we proceed to the replacement after business hours.
I've been looking on the internet for a procedure and I haven't find any information about that...
In fact, I'm still wondering if by moving the hard drives from the old to the new unit will be enough, or do we need to rebuild the raid manually ?
If someone could give me some intel about that, I'll appreciate...
Bes Regards.

I agree with @aokanianwon that swapping disks isn't the way to go; however, doing a DRS backup/restore sequence seems like overkill. Assuming that TAC doesn't suspect the integrity of the VM itself, just export (File > Export) it using the VI client and then import the VM (File > Deploy) on the new box. When asked, you MOVED the VM, not copied; this is critical so the VMX file keeps the same config (e.g. MAC address).
Please remember to rate helpful responses and identify helpful or correct answers.

UCS Server Configuration Utility stuck Initializing Kernel

Hello,
After upgrading to the 2.1(1a) firmware, I noticed that two of my 8 blades want to boot into this new Configuration Utility after the service profile has been applied. The software just sits at Initializing Kernel forever.
Does anyone know what causes this? Or why it is only happening on 2 of the 8 blades (which all have the same service profile)?
I have attached a screen shot.
Thanks in advance,
-Steve

Steve,
If you not mapping an ISO and you are still seeing the Server Configuration Utility, would you do me a favor?
1) In KVM, reboot and select F2 and screen capture the Boot Order. I'm curious if SD or USB is in the boot order
2) Remove the blade from the chassis and look for SD-flash cards inserted into the side of the blade. There are two SD slots towards the front of the blade in the side.
3) Open the blade and look for a USB stick inserted between the HDD's
With release code, the SD flash is disabled and should not be visible as a boot device. The SD cards provided for the rack C-series do have bootable images (Server Configuration Utility) is one of the bootable images.
If you have a USB stick inserted, the blade may default boot off of it. If SCU is on the UCS stick, that may be why you are seeing it.
If you find both SD and USB, would you mind removing them one at a time and let them boot up and report the results? (i.e. SD card only one test amd USB stick only one test)
Please let me know the results of your investigation.
Thanks,
Dave

The new server will have new IP addresses / Listen ports / Listen addresses
for the Sun Java System Web Server.
We would like to copy the existing Sun Java System Web Server installation
from the old server to the new one instead of doing a complete new installation.
Is this possible ?
If yes, which files must be modified or other activities needs to be
performed that the Sun Java System Web Server will run on the new server ?
Thank you very much for your support.

Copying the contents should work if
* o/s version is same
* patch levels match
* you are renaming the new server with the same old servers' hostname,
* no other server is running on those http listener ports.
