Today i have a problem , i should deploy a N1KV on my enclosure c7000 with virtual Connect,
I have 3 Clusters :
1 cluster : 2 X ESX 5.5 Management
1 Cluster : 1 X ESX 5.5 PCA/PRA
1 Cluster : 2 X ESX 5.5 Production
The first cluster Management hosting N1KV VSM
Each cluster on management have one vmnic
Each cluster on Production have two vmnic
After have deploy my N1KV and add host's cluster production , I wanted to test a vmkping with vmkernel, my vmkernel is attached on port-group which is associated with vlan 1. My ping test is not successful, and i have another problem i succeed to deploy a VEM on one of my two ESXI 5.5 on attached cluster. I repeat this same process but my second VEM doesnt see this VSM after having enter the command :

Hi Ashley,
Is the HP server on the Nexus connected via 1G or 10G? I would be interested to see the pause counters on the server interface and the c7000 interfaces. Could you attach the appropriate 'show interface' outputs?
Thanks,
Carlo

C7000 & Virtual Connect FW update problem.

Hi,
I'm trying to update the firmware on some modules in my C7000 chassis. The following are currently installed with firmware versions as stated.
Onboard Administrator - 3.21
HP 1/10Gb-F VC-Enet Module - 1.34
HP Virtual Connect 4Gb FC Module - 1.41
I'm trying to use the VCSU 1.70 to update the firmware to 3.51. When I attempt the upgrade, it reports that there are problems with the HP Virtual Connect 4Gb FC Modules. Status is reported as "Ip Connectivity: Unable to communicate with bay". I am able to ping the individual HP Virtual Connect 4Gb FC Modules, so I'm not sure why this is happening. I've re-seated the all the modules including the Onboard administrator.
I noticed that in Firmware 1.34, there's a "Firmware Management" option in the Virtual Connect Manager web interface. Should I use this instead to upgrade the firmware?

I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure, I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums, since this is a commercial product. You can click here for the link.

LMS 3.2 User Tracking 10GE trunk to HP BladeSystem c7000 w. Virtual Connect Flex10

Hi All,
situation:
LMS 3.2
Cat6509 w. 4 port 10 GE module connected with trunk to
HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure
with
HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 10Gb Ethernet Module
with
#20 of ESX servers, Citrix
UT settings: "config trunk for end host disc. = enable on this trunk."
No show for connected MAC's of the server and end hosts (Citrix sessions).
Note: this works well for a ESX based DL380 server connected with 1GB trunk to a C3750.
Why is this not working for this Cat6509 configuration ?
Is the 10 GE port supported in Campus manager?
regards,

Hi Joseph,
Long time ago I started this discussion about UT support for portchannels. Right now we're on the level of LMS 4.2, do you know if there is any progress made with support for UT on portchannels?
Kind regards

Upgrade c7000 to virtual connect flex-10/10D

We have basic c7000 enclosure with 1 GB pass-thru modules (bay 1,2,5,6,7,8 for networking and brocade pass-thru for Fiber Channel - bay 3,4 for storage. Have 5 bl460c Gen8 Blades. Trying to upgrade to virtual connect flex-10/10D on the networking side. Is their a way to import the existing server network information into the initial virtual connect domain?

How I know, for work with VC Flex-10, you need to use separate switches between P4000 and chassis.

Virtual Connect connection

I'm currently using two c7000 with two HP VC's both are connected using a Shared Uplink Set on a specific x-port. - Not sure if this should be like that as I'm trying to achieve the following: A domain network (DC) is connected to a 24-port standard switch; port 24 is used as uplink/downlink to the upper c7000 on one of the x-ports; a second x-port is used for the shared uplink to the lower c7000; How can I get the Vm's which are running on the lower enclosure to talk to the DC and why do they not getting an IP using DHCP? I probably have a config issue here but how can I connect the x-port with the DC with the x-port (shared uplink) which should get the traffic send from the upper to the lower enclosure? Or does this generally not work? I thought that the upper c7000 link send the same traffic to the lower one using the shared uplink port?

@Bilal,
That is crystal clear, i see the picture now.
Well, scaling down the Virtual connects on the c7000 enclosure to 1Gb speeds would really be under-utilizing the capabilities of virtual connect and will eventually be a bottle-neck later on when the blades are finally deployed...my thoughts.
Hadn't mentioned this but i've also got a 6506E Core switch in the environment.
From this link: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/catalyst-6500-series-switches/product_data_sheet09186a00801dce34.html
is it possible to use one of the Core switch 10Gb Fiber modules with the Virtual connects on the HP c7000 enclosure?
If that's possible, then it means i'll have to buy some of the below items:
Cisco Catalyst 6500 8-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber Module (or 16 port..)
Cisco 10GBASE X2 Modules
SC to LC Multimode Fiber Patch Cable
Let me know whether my conclusion makes sense.
Thanks Again,
Peter

Virtual Connect FlexFabric Stacking with VCEM

Hi, we've got a C7000 chasis with 2 Virtual Connect FlexFabric, managed by Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager.
It's already configured and running.
Now we need to stack a new C7000, with 2 new Virtual Connect FlexFabric.
Existing Virtual Connects have 4.10 firmware version, and the new ones come with 4.30 firmware version.
I've read the "Virtual Connect Multi-Enclosure Stacking Reference Guide", but it only explains how to do it from standard Virtual Connect Manager, not from VCEM.
Beeing a newbie to Virtual Connect there are some things that I'm not sure about.
Can I do the stacking from Virtual Connect Manager, or do I need to do it from VCEM?
Should I upgrade all virtual connects (existing and new) to 4.31 before stacking, or can I do it after stacking?
Is there a way to downgrade new Virtual Connects from 4.30 to 4.10 so I can stack them without updating the running ones?
In the Reference Guide it is not clear if I should cable the stacking links before or after adding the new enclosure to the VC Domain. When should I cable them?
Thanks.

Is passthru compatible with Virtual Connect

Hi,
I have a C7000 (BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure G2 - 507014-B21).
This C7000 is in Production and contains 8 BL460G7 (603718-B21), 2 SAN SWITCH (B-series 8/12c - 489864-001), 4 Virtual Connect (HP 1/10Gb-F VC-Enet Module - 447047-B21).
2 slots are available in the rear side of the C7000 and I would like to add 1 pass-thru (HP 1Gb Ethernet Pass-Thru Module for c-Class BladeSystem - 406740-B21)
I would like to know:
- Is it possible to add 1 pass thru when there are already 4 Virtual Connect running?
- Is it possible to add only 1 pass thru (i do not need 2)?
- Is there an impact on the running blade/switches, when inserting a new pass thru?
Thanks in advance for you answers,

Hello Alex5. I understand you have some questions about Passthru and Virtual Connect.

4900M connection to HP Virtual Connect Flex 10

Trying to connect a HP-C7000 blade server with a Virtual Connect Flex 10 connection with 10Gb links to a Catalyst 4900M.
I have no control of the HP side. From the HP guide, we are following "HP Virtual Connect Ethernet Cookbook" "Scenario 1:5 - VLAN Tagging (802.1q) with Shared Uplink Set (SUS) with Link Aggregation using LACP (802.3ad) - VMware ESX"
On the 4900M, LLDP sees the Virtual Connect and LCAP up with 2 active links. Show interface on Ten1/1, Ten1/2, Port-Channel 1 shows 0 packets input.
Basically, we can not get any packets from the HP Server/VMware server side through the Catalyst 4900.
IOS version: 12.2(54)SG
Switch ports are as follows:
interface Port-channel1
description HP FLEX-10-VC
switchport trunk allowed vlan 4,8,10,11,16,22-24,69,99-101,156,192,300,500
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate
spanning-tree portfast trunk
interface TenGigabitEthernet1/1
description HP FLEX-10-VC
switchport trunk allowed vlan 4,8,10,11,16,22-24,69,99-101,156,192,300,500
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate
spanning-tree portfast trunk
channel-protocol lacp
channel-group 1 mode active
interface TenGigabitEthernet1/2
description HP FLEX-10-VC
switchport trunk allowed vlan 4,8,10,11,16,22-24,69,99-101,156,192,300,500
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate
spanning-tree portfast trunk
channel-protocol lacp
channel-group 1 mode active

This command starts passing traffic on all of the VLANs using the trunk. If the Flex Connect sees layer-1 come up but is unable to pass traffic it may think the interface is not working. I enable this on trunk connections to VMware hosts and Flex Connect interfaces. It is possible disabling portfast will not cause problems for the Flex Connect interfaces. You can test this in your environment and see what works.

How can I get the virtual connection from connection pool?

Hi, All, I create the connection pool to Database, then call connPool->createConnetion("scoot","tiger") , it creates a new physical connection to database, not from connection pool. I check the busy number of connection in connection pool, it always 0.
here is my code, please give me advice.Thanks!
int minConn,maxConn,incrConn;
minConn = 4;
maxConn = 5; //nMax;
incrConn = 1;
if(env == 0x0)
env = Environment::createEnvironment(Environment::DEFAULT);
if (connPool == 0x0)
connPool = env->createConnectionPool("scott", "tiger","test.oracle.com", minConn, maxConn, incrConn);
// here already has 4 physical connections to database;
Connection con,con2,*con3;
Statement *stmt;
int nBusy = connPool->getBusyConnections();
//nBusy = 0
try
con = connPool->createConnection (szUser, szPassword);
// create a new physical connection to database
nBusy = connPool->getBusyConnections();
//nBusy = 0
con2 = connPool->createConnection ("scott", "tiger");
nBusy = connPool->getBusyConnections();
}catch(SQLExecption ex)
cout<<ex.what();

What you are creating are virtual connections. They do logons using the already existing connections in the pool. The real connections from the pool are picked only before doing a round-trip and released immediately after completing the round-trip. You can see the busyConnetions higher than 1, only when you are using the connections concurrently.

Hi.
I have just installed xMII version 12 It took me 20 days the first time, but now it is easy.
Two questions. When trying to activate help, it opens a link like...
http://wbhelp.sap.com/manufacturing/xmii_120/da/44/2AF20B1DDE23D3E10000000A1553F7/content.htm
How to fix this ??
Is it possible to make virtual connections to xMII version 11.5 ??

Poul Klemmensen.

Hi Poul.
What language of the help are you trying to access? I see "/da/" in the middle of your help URL, but if you're trying to access the German version of the help, it should be "/de/".
For now, you can manually replace the "da" with "de" for German or "en" for English, and you should be able to see the help topic without error.

Interconnecting CIsco MDS 9222i to the HP C-Blade enclosute VC-FC Virtual connect module

Hi,
Anyone had the experience of interconnecting the CIsco MDS 9222i to an HP Blade system through the VC-FC virtual connect module?
When i connect my MDS switch to the module, the VC-FC ports dont log in to the MDS. Could i be missing out on something? I have configured the MDS to use the default VSAN 1 and tried configuring the ports as F-ports but nothing worked, even with the port mode put on auto they still take on the F-port role and still the VC-FC module doesnt log in.
Your help and support will be appreciated
jerrysimila

i wanna use the CLI though i also have the fabric manager at my disposal. would you kindly
share a sanitised version of ur running config for the mds that does the FCIP replication to the DR i see if i can make head out of it then i
f i face any challenge will holla at u. you can email me [email protected]
My set up is as follows, ive got 2 MDS 9222i at the primary site in active-standby mode, one connects to the active VC while the other connects to the standby VC of the blade system. Then i have a similar set up for the DR. Good thing is that am first setting everything up here in my Data Centre, then test before sending the configured equipment to the DR. So i have much freedom to get dirty with the equipment, and its not a live environment yet.
Kindly let me know the step-by-step procedure of having the FCIP set up.

Has anyone deployed a midlet on a virtual sensor under windows 7 64 bit?

Hello
I need help and I would really appreciate if any one can save me.
when I want to deploy a midlet on a virtual sensor in Solarium, I get this error: "Cannot load C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll"
My OP is windows 7 (64 bit). my java is also 64 bit and I should remind that there is no jvm.dll in in client folder in 64 bit java. So I set the address of jvm.dll to:
"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21\jre\bin\server"
but still I get the same error.

Got the exact same problem aswell, finally fed up with it now as i just started up firefox and 14 new windows opened because of this bug, luckily my computer can handle them but someone with a slower processor it would have been a nightmare, needs fixing ASAP.
Reverting back to 3.6.3 until this issue is solved. (link for anyone wanting to do the same below)
