DCNM-SAN as Nexus 1010 VSB
Does anybody know if (and when) DCNM-SAN will be available as a Nexus 1010 VSB, as it is with DCNM-LAN now?
PS: Here is my previous question on how (as I wrongly assumed it was possible, looking at the documentation), which was answered by Padma (a generous and kind Cisco employee).
Thanks,

Hi Andrew,
Great news, thanks... Looking forward for the release

Installing DCNM-SAN as a VSB in Nexus 1010
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to install DCNM-SAN as a VSB in Nexus 1010, as I've read on the release notes that since 5.2.x release the distribution is done via a single image and there's an image available right now for 5.2(2)...
But, although I've tried numerous times (together with reading a lot through the two available documents - Installation and licensing guide and Fundamentals), every time I create a new vsb with these images, it becomes a DCNM-LAN install.
I have yet to have any prior experience with DCNM, so I might be missing something.
Any ideas? What am I missing? Am I trying to do something that is not supported? Or, am I just missing a critical point there?
NOTE: This is currently a lab topology, but I have a customer that's very keen on using DCNM-SAN with their MDS switches. And I feel that having this on a the 1010 as a vsb is the best way to do it, if it can be done, with regards to having network staff not deal with servers etc.
Thanks,
EmreAndrew,
We are a little frustrated with the VSB version of DCNM-SAN, it does not appear possible to manage fabric without advanced licensing for the switches, in the licensing guides for DCNM it lists essentials capability that should include port, switch, and fabric-level configuration. On the windows version we can manage the fabric unlicensed as long as we do it from the server direcly or in previous versions if we are running stand alone. These options do not appear to exist for the VSB version. Is there any plan to include any essentials capability in the VSB/OVF versions of the DCNM-SAN. If this is not planned, the documentation should be changed to state that essentials functions are only available in the Windows version. -
Hi
I have a customer with a pair of Nexus 1010s that they have been testing. After lots of rebooting and pulling of cables etc as they test redundancy things have gone pear shaped. Now the VSBs seem to have disappeared.
Show module says VSB not present on the primary and the secondary.
Show running config has a section like this:
virtual-service-blade NAME1-1010
virtual-service-blade-type name VSM-1.0
etc
I dont see anywhere in the config a line like
virtual-service-blade-type new iso-file
Does the above line show up in a show run ?
Also where are the ISO files stored as a show boot doesnt show them, tehre are some bin files but no .iso files.
Thanks
Regards
PatSeems like you are bringing up the setup for first time.
Initially when you bring up Nexus1010, there will not be any VSB present. They need to be deployed using
VSB enable cli.
The running confiig that you are looking seems okie. Looks like you just associated a template with VSB.
You need to proceed further deploy VSB. Please refer to docs for the same.
"new" doesnt appear in running config. It translates to "name" which is template name that iso-file contained.
ISO files are present in bootflash:repository/ folder. If they are not there for some reason, you can download latest releases from CCO link for N1k and NAM. -
DCNM SAN 6.2 + Nexus 5500 not using interface mgmt
When trying to discover a newly setup fabric we have set the SVI of one of the Nexus 5500 switches as seed device in DCNM SAN server. Problem do seem to be the same in DCNM 6.2 as in DCNM 5.x, one can not use a SVI.... After adding the seed switch with the IP adress of the SVI it appears in the Admin->Data sources->Fabric with the ip address of the mgmt interface. Thing is that this ip address can not be reached from the DCNM SAN server since we have only used a cross over ethernet cable for peer-keepalive over the mgmt interfaces.
Is there a way in DCNM SAN 6.2 to force SAN management over a SVI instead of the mgmt interface?Here is the solution:
in the menubar on the top, in the lower one go to Admin > Server Properties
scroll to the middle of the list, locate “fabric.managementIpOverwrite” and set it to false
restart the DCNM Servers -
All,
According to the Cisco Press release a couple of weeks ago:
"The Nexus 1010 provides an NX-OS based appliance platform for hosting virtual services. This platform now supports two additional services: the Cisco Virtual Security Gateway which provides VM-level segmentation in a multi-tenant virtualized data center, and the Cisco Data Center Network Management Center."
Does anyone know when the DCNM is going to be available for use in the 1010? I can't seem to find any documentation or software on the subject.
Thanks,
KenHi,
DCNM 5.1(1) and above releases support Nexus 1010.

Using DCNM-SAN with UCS (2.1.2a); I created on all FC devices (MDS and N5k) a user "dcnmuser" with netadmin rights. I also created a snmp v3 user "dcnmuser" with UCSM. Then I did a fabric discovery with DCNM-SAN; I see the fabric, MDS, N5k and FI, however, the FI have a red arrow, which means not manageable.
Q. what could be wrong ? or is this really supported ?Understood, thanks Robert
We only want to monitor UCS-FI with DCNM-SAN.
The release notes 6.1.2
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/6_x/dcnm/release/notes/dcnm_6_1_relnotes.html
are quite misleading:
Introduction
Cisco Data Center Network Manager combines the management of Ethernet and storage networks into a single dashboard to help network and storage administrators manage and troubleshoot health and performance across the following product families that run Cisco NX-OS software:
•Cisco MDS 9500 Series Multilayer Directors and Cisco MDS 9200 and 9100 Series Multilayer Switches
•Cisco Nexus 1000V Series Switches and Cisco Nexus 1010 Virtual Services Appliance
•Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders
•Cisco Nexus 3000, 4000, 5000, and 7000 Series Switches
•Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches
•Cisco UCS 6100 and 6200 Series Fabric Interconnects
•Cisco FireWall Service Module (FWSM)
Cisco DCNM-SAN Release 6.1(1b) and later releases do not support Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switches and UCS devices running Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(3) or an earlier release.
However, Table 9 Hardware Features Supported by Cisco DCNM Release 6.1
doesn't show UCS FI ! -
We are installing Nexus 1010 using the topology 3 connection and we will configure VSB DCNM.
1st Question
Topology 3, use the interfaces 1 and 2 for traffic management vlan and I want to know if I can connect these interfaces to my segment from out of band or needs to go connected on the segment from server.
2nd Question
we are going to configure DCNM on Nexus 1010 which must have comunication with the management interfaces from the other nexus switch through of the network out of band. Management interfaces of VSMS should be on the same network OOB? or must be on another network?
Thanks in advanceHi,
Yes, it is possible. When you login as admin and you want to get to another vdc, you just use this command:
switchto vdc
This will take to the that vdc. If you want to switch back to the admin vdc, you just type "switchback"

Hello
I have a problem with Nexus 1010 HA.
I have two Nexus 1010. One is configured as Primary and the other as Secondary.
I have a VSB (VSM type) created on both, enabled as Primary and Secondary respectively.
HA between VSMs works fine. But HA between Nexus is not working. Something is missed. Any ideas? Thank you!!!

This means that there is some sort of a communication issue between the two Nexus 1010 switches in the control VLAN. You should probably check the upstream configuration on the ports that connect to the 1010 links carrying the control traffic and also the links involved in the control path.

No export command in Nexus 1010
Hi all,
We want to do a backup of a virtual-service-blade in a Nexus 1010. The document we are following is:

We don't know which can be the problem, wheter it can be a bug in the software, or we are doing something wrong.
Thank youThe export command was a new feature added in the 4.2(1)SP1(3) version of code. Your 1010 is one rev lower.
You'll need to upgrade the code on the 1010 to the latest code to get the export command.
The upgrade is pretty straight forward. Just download the code and follow the upgrade guide.

Nexus 1010 + 1000v control vlan issue
Hi,
I have Nexus 1000v installed on nexus 1010. The nexus 1010 is in cluster and working fine. I have made network uplink option 3.
My VSM is configured to be on L3 mode. Hence I set control and packet vlan to 1 (on vsm). while creating the VSB too I have choosen control and packet vlan to be 1 (keeping in mind my mode will be L3).
Now The vsm is not coming up in HA. The redandancy log says degraded mode is true.
Is it because, the control packet coming from VSM after reaching the N1010, the packets are getting tagged with vlan 1. Since I have not set any native vlan on 1010, might be control vlan 1 is also tagged one. Is it this the case ?
help needed on this issue.
regards
Prasad KControl vlan is a totally seperate VLAN then your System Console. The VLAN just needs to be available to the ESX host through the upstream physical switch and then make sure the VLAN is passed on the uplink port-profile that you assign the ESX host to.
We only need an interface on the ESX host if you decide to use L3 control. In that instance you would create or use an existing VMK interface on the ESX host. -
Nexus 1010 can not erase export-import folder
Hi Expert,
After we import the backup vsb. We try to erase the export-import folder. But system show "Device or resource busy". So we can not execute more export or import command. Please reference the below image and help us to fix this issue.
Ps. The Nexus 1010 version is "4.2.1.SP1.4"Hello Meng,
I was able to recreate this problem in the lab. It appears it only occurs when importing a secondary VSB. A 'system switchover' of the N1010s frees the NFS locks. Not an ideal workaround, but a workaround.
CSCtz44247 has been opened for this problem.

it is the first time that i install and configure a Nexus 1010.
After unpackaging, i have upgrade the BIOS, CMC and Firmware of the nexus 1010 (like a classical C-serie server)
The CIMC 's @IP is 10.10.0.100 ; I have connected the 10/100 Ethernet CIMC management port to my OOB network where we have all OOB interfaces from Nx7k and Nx5k.
Now i would want configure the Nx1010 in the topology "uplink type 3".
port 1 and 2 : mangement Vlan
port 3 to 6 : Control/packt Vlan and Data Vlan.
In the setup wizard, we have to configure the int Mgmt0 of Nx 1010.
In which network must be the Mgmt0 ; i am confused and mix up :
- CIMC mgmt from the C-series server
- mgmt0 int from nexus 1010 : by which physical interface goes throught this traffic : via "10/100 Ethernet CIMC management port" or via "Management vlan" ???
- Vlan management : this Vlan will allow to manager the VSB VSM-1 et VSM-2....
The Vlan management must not be the OOB network, must it ?
It is not clear for my mind ; i mix up all this mgmt
please help me !!!
many thank in advance.
NB : All the devices in our DC (Nx5k and Nx5K/Nx2K) have two management interface :
1 - OOB management via the pysical OOB port
2 - Inb management via a dedicated Vlan ; each device have 1 @IP in this Vlan (even the L2 Nx7k (without M1 card) via the cli "management")
How could i have the these mgmt for Nexus 1010 / CIMC / VSM ???
Last question : in order to upgrade the nx 1010, then download the nexus-1000v*.iso to bootflash:repository, which network/mgmt i have to used ???Hi Delahais, could you resolve your concern? .. I have the same doubt
-
Dear Friends,
I have setup a single nexus 1010. I have done the following
Assigned device role as primary
Assigned Mgmt 0 IP address
Assigned subnet mask
Assigned control, management vlan. Assigned Domain ID
Selected Option 1 for network topology
Enabled telnet & SSH
Now, When I try to ping or telnet to the management IP address by connecting by LAPTOP to Interface 1 (GigabitEthernet1), there is no response ?
What is the reason ?.
Basically How to do a telnet or SSH to a nexus 1010 mgmt 0 interface ? I am not using CIMC interface.
regards
PrasadOk. That trigged me even a more fundamental question. My undestanding is that three are total 7 ports on N1010.
2 LoM fixed port 10/100/1000
4 PCI port
1 CIMC port (the one port kept near to USB slots)
Mgmt 0 can only use the LoM interfaces (G1andG2) for sending traffic.... LoM is not separate port other than the 1-6 interface as per below link
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps9441/ps9902/white_paper_c07-603623.html
The Cisco Nexus 1010 has six 1 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces available for network connectivity: two 1 Gigabit Ethernet LAN-on-motherboard (LOM) interfaces and four 1 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, available through a PCI card "
I will update with my observation tommorow. Then I will come back with 1000v and DNM VSB integration quires -
DCNM SAN Client - SNMP Timeout
Hello Everyone,
right now iam struggling with the configuration of a DCNM SAN Client.
The Installation and licensing (with some trouble) has been finished few days ago.The DCNM LAN Client is working well and there are no problems with connectivity or timeouts. SSH and SNMPv3 are working fine for both Clients (SAN&LAN).
Discovering Fabrics for the DCNM SAN Client is working very well to. But when I start the DCNM SAN Client and open a session to a fabric it looks like this:
If I try to "edit local full zone database" it looks like this:
Tried to troubleshoot this behaviour but at the moment I am not able to figure out the problem.
Maybe someone in this community does?
Best Regards,
SaschaThis can be closed.
I got all answers... For the benefit of others who are searching answers for the same question:
1) I just downloaded the dcnm client for LAN ... is there a seperate client for SAN ? I dont see any download links for SAN... --- Yes .. DCNM SAN has a seperate client. After installation, you can open the DCNM page on http, and you would find the download links on top right corner for DCNM-LAN, SAN and device manager.
2) Is it possible to add brocade switches to DCNM-SAN? Does it require additional licenses? - I dont think this is possible
3) Can we use the fabric manager license "N5000FMS1k9" for DCNM SAN, or do we need "DCNM-SAN-N5K-K9" license for the nexus 5000? - Yes.. Use the same license and generate the PAK file. FMS licenses do work in DCNM-SAN..
Good luck -

SabihHi Sabih,
For a Nexus 1010 pair to form HA redundancy, the communicate with each other via the Control VLAN. You would have specified this during your installation.
Can you verify that they are both utilizing the same Control VLAN.
n1010# show svs domain
Furthermore, ensure that this vlan is defined and forwarding, on the relevant ports, on the upstream 6509s.
Thanks,
Michael
