Downgrading Emulex HBA firware on C 200 series servers

Currently all of our Emelux HBA firware version 2.82A4 onto all of C 200 series server. After installing Hitachi multi pathing software (HDLM) windows 2003 servers ended up with blue screen. Now Hitachi is saying that current HBA version is not supported by HDLM and it should be STOR Miniport 2.33.008 or less. It would be greatly appreicated if anybody give or share ideas to downgrade HBA firware? I am pretty much new with Cisco servers. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you

Chandra,
If the C 200 is managed by UCSM, it's a simple task. You simply can change FW versions of the adapters via the GUI using a Host Firmware Package. Instructions for this can be found on the UCS support pages. Keep in mind any FW versions offered will be supported by Cisco. Earlier versions may not.
If the C 200 is a standalone server (not managed by UCSM), then you will need to use one of the Emulex HBA utilities to flash the firmware on the card.
Q. Which model of Emulex HBA do you have exactly?
You can pull down the FW and flash util from the Emulex Website. You'll just need to ensure you select the correct model and select "Previous Versions" tab when looking for the FW revision.
Ex.
http://cmw3wbp1.emulex.com/files/downloads/hardware/lpe11002/prev_fw.html
I don't see many FW versions earlier than 2.50.x, so if you can't find it on their website you may need to contact Emulex directly.

Robert

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 crashes with not finding a capable play module on a windows desktop with a AMD Radeon R9 200 series board.

I installed Premiere Pro CS 6.0 on a brand new system.
Win 8.1,
i7 3.4 GHz on an Asus Sabertooth
16 Gig memory
AMD Radeon R9 290 Graphics Board with the latest drivers and Bios.
On starting Premiere I get the (as I noticed quite frequent appearing) error message that Premiere cannot find a capable play module and the suggestion to update my video drivers.
I tried everything I found in this forum or on the web:
Installed the latest drivers
Run the program as an administrator
Updated the Graphics board Bios
Updated Premiere CS6
Started Gpusniffer in CMD-mode to find out what board it found and added that to the cuda_supported_cards.txt in the Premiere directory.
All to no avail. The app will simply not start.
The Gpusniffers report states:

As I invested a lot in the CS6 Master Collection I am not considering an update tot the CC version, also because the same problem occurs in that version too.
I would be much obliged if someone has an answer that truly will work. This problem costed me the best part of two days’ work and fouled up my workflow considerably.

==========
I tried to go into display settings and disable the Intel card. (this caused low resolution which is unexceptable)
==========
This makes me think it's using that graphics "card" ( probably built into mobo ? ...called 'onboard graphics ? )
This stuff gets tricky and sometimes the only way to make windows 'recognize' the pci graphics card is to actually take it out and boot, and then put it back in...
Then you get mssg " windows detected new hardware" and you install the drivers...
usually bios gives you choice of using onboard graphics or not ( but this too is wanky sometimes...sorry to say ...)
I recently ( this past year ) had a similar sort of situation but have a desktop, where its easy for me to take off side panel and pull the pci-e graphics card and boot, and get that horrible low res default screen...turn off, install card, reboot etc...
but anyway, it sounds to me like you're notebook is using that mobile graphics driver stuff and not the radeon. Somehow you've got to make it switch to that graphics card is maybe your solution.
sorry I dont have notebook but maybe someone else here does and can help more...
good luck.
ps..its always a weird fact of life...when things aren't working 'right' something has to get done fast....
edit:
I dont know how much you know about windows stuff, but after you disable that intel thing and get your low res screen.. you DID try to update the driver for that card using 'my computer / device manager ' right ??

200 Series SNMP support

Am I correct in thinking that 200 series swiches now support SNMP using v1.3?

Yes with latest firmware.

LUN has gone AWOL - Solaris 10 x86, Emulex HBAs, IBM DS8300

We're setting up a test environment for our backup software, currently running on Windows, but targeted for Solaris. This is also a test of our first Solaris x86 deployment.
* HP DL580 G5 server.
* Solaris 10 x86 10/08 w/patch cluster from ~March 18th.
* One dual port Emulex HBA
* IBM DS8300 SAN
When we first set this up, we could see the one LUN in format. After adding in the IBM Multipathing software, the LUN disappeared and the FC devices are shown as unconfigured in `cfgadm -al`. We removed the IBM multipathing software, but still cannot see the LUN. Did a reconfiguration reboot and all that.

#We're currently at a loss here. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. I am checking sunsolve and google, with plenty of similar hits, but no resolution as yet.
Thanks,

Ok, so after that detailed message, my SAN admin just realised he hadn't assigned any LUNs to the server. :D
The LUN that we had seen previously was an artifact from an earlier configuration.

How to setup NPIV as Cisco9124 directly linked a Emulex HBA N-port

I had a cisco9124 switch and enabled npiv on the switch.
also I had a HBA card, and setup a N-port.
I can find the N-port pwwn number on the cisco9124,
and setup the virtual pwwn to my vsan1.
my question is:
my configuration is correct? can let 9124 directly linked a HBA N-port as NPIV configuration? I think something is wrong. I am no NPV device.
how can let the virtual ports know which actual port manage the virtual ports.
I mean for example:
my fc1/8 port is with 4 virtual ports, how to setup the 4 virtual ports to fc1/8,
or just donot care the fc1/8, just found all the virtual ports and setup the virtual ports luns, then my emulex HBA card will find the luns?
BRs

we use Qlogic 4G 2-port HBA and use RHEL5 OS on DellT105
we are in RHEL5 created 4 virtual ports on one port of HBA.
then we can find the 4 virtual pwwn on our MDS9124, then I added the pwwn on our vsan and reactivated.
then created 4 luns, each lun assigned to each virtual port separately, finally I checked our RHEL5, only found 1 lun is correct. found 2 luns lost and 1 luns allocated to 2 virtual HBA.
configuration like the following on our switch:
vsan 1 wwn 21:01:00:1b:32:a9:f0:04 fcid 0x2e1435 dynamic
vsan 1 wwn 21:01:00:1b:32:a9:f0:05 fcid 0x2e1436 dynamic

Can't add Epson xp-200 series printer to Macbook Air

Hi all,
hoping someone can help me with this before I throw either the macbook or the printer out the window in frustration!
I recently purchased a new Epson XP-200 series printer and try as I might I cannot get it to connect to my Macbook Air either via wi-fi or USB. I have used both the CD that came with the printer and downloaded the software online. Currently when I have the USB connected the computer recognises that the printer is there but when I try to add the printer it attempts to update the software, then tells me that it cannot as the software is not currently available on the server. I cannot get past this step as the computer won't let me add the printer without updating the software and Apple then tells me it doesn't have the software available despite their website telling me it is and also despite me downloading it from the web.
Can someone please help me get past this issue!
The reason that I bought a new printer was that my previous HP WIFI printer one day just stopped working, or should i say disconnected form the computer and i couldn't reconnect it, I assumed it was the printer, but given that I can still copy on it I'm now thinking it was a computer issue, or one of the OS upgrades to be more precise that caused the issue!

In what context do you see "the software upgrade"?
Is it trying to update firmware on your Epson printer?
Is it trying to update some software on your Mac? That would be highly unlikely since the download link I sent you has the latest software.
To update firmware on your Epson, get the Epson iPrint app for your iPad from the iOS App Store. (By the way, does your iPad connect to the Epson using AIrPrint? Assuming it does ...)
Run Epson iPrint. Click the printer. Then click "Advanced Settings". Then do a firmware update from there.

IAS authentication with 200 series switches based on MAC addresses

Hi,
I try to implement a solution based on a 2003-Server with IAS and a switch (from the 200 series) just to authenticate machines with their MAC addresses.
I think the config on the switch is ok but I'm facing questions about parameters to put in IAS...
Can someone help me or give me a link to a good document that explains the 'how-to'?
Many thanks

I have just done some more testing.
I added the authentication mac-move permit command to the switch and it now almost works as expected.
The scenarios now are:
Machine without dot1x supplicant plugged into phone, when unplugged the switch immediately deletes the mac address from the port.
Machine with dot1x supplied plugged into phone, exactly the same.
Machine without dot1x plugged directly into port exactly the same
Machine with dot1x plugged directly into port exactly the same.
The problem is if someone has a machine running a dot1x supplicant and hosting a VM.
In that case as long as you move to a different port on the same switch it works fine (as the workstation reconnects the mac-move process works).
If you move this machine from one switch to another with the IP phone installed. the de-auth message removes the VM or the host from the original switch mac table and leaves one of the old addresses behind.
I suppose a solution would be to ban all VMs but that won't go down well.
I don't want to change the authentication method as we will have machines without a supplicant that need to connect to resources (i.e. using mab)
Thanks for your help (and a faster reply than my support company who still haven't rung me back).

Does the UCS C-Series Servers supports PCI/e card digium T1/E1

Hello,
Does the UCS C-Series Servers supports/compatible with PCI/e card digium TE407P/TE420 T1/E1.?
The server will be used as Asterisk server.
Thanks
Philip

Hi Philip,
Compatibility will depend on the server model that you have and whether the digium card is a full length, low profile, or half length pcie card. Take a look at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10493/prod_models_comparison.html#~tab-a for details. If there are any issues with the card itself once it is installed it will have to go through the 3rd party manufacturer.

PXE Errors - new install of CUCM on UCS C series servers

Hi All
I'm in a middle of production install of CUCM , CUWL and IM and Presence on Cisco UCS Servers C220 and C240.
Until last friday I borught the CUCM cluster along with CUWL server online and lastly just completed the install of IM and Presence PUB left home.
Then tried logging on Sunday from home via vSphere client unable to connect to these boxes and the webURL's either of apps didn't work.
I presumed something and then tried to gain access via CIMC port and after launching KVM console I see the attached PXE errors.?
I'm not sure why this happend all of a sudden nothing changed in the boot order nor in the network.
Please send me into right direction....this structure I had up and running from last one week and phones registered too.
Thanks
Mohammed

Never mind I figured it out myself and you'll surpised how fragile the UCS C series servers are as I was running them on single power supply and the inside hardware was acting weird for this purpose and once I connected the second power supply and rebooted the server the vmware loads and everything is back online.
How strange this issue was ...
Thanks
Mohammed

Ati radeon xpress 200 series driver installing windows 8.1 pro black screen

dell optiplex 320 running Windows 8.1 standard. The display is listed as ATI RADEON XPREES 200 in the device manager.
It is using the driver provided by the operating system - ATI Technologies dated 10/2/2010 and version 10-2_legacy_vista32-64_dd_ccc and ATI_ATI-Radeon-Xpress-X1100_A03_R172873. From a cold boot the blue Windows logo appears and then the mouse cursor
in the middle of the screen, but the start screen with the tiles is not displayed. Maybe this sounds weird, but I think the start screen and tiles is there, but just not being shown on the screen. There appears to be nothing there, but I can move
the cursor around on the black screen and click in frustration. Then I press the power button and the laptop enters sleep mode. Once in sleep mode I press power again to resume the computer and then the lock screen shows up and I can see the start
screen and tiles and everything works like it should. This only happens from a cold boot. If the computer was on and restarted it does not happen. Has this happened to anyone else? Any suggestions? I will check for a newer display
driver from ATI. The only driver on the Windows Update Catalog is for Windows Vista.

mouse cursor in the middle of the screen, but the start screen with the tiles is not displayed.
Usually it is nVidia users who complain of this. An explanation would be that you are seeing your secondary monitor display in an Extended display configuration. When you press Win- etc. it would show on your primary monitor (which you can't
see). So, press Win-P anyway and imagine that you can see its display. Then you would press CursorUp, Enter and switch display configurations so you could see something.
only happens from a cold boot.
Then there is a feature in a boot that makes this change. Try using Win-P again when you can see it to see what the configuration is then.

Oracle Server + Emulex HBA Lpc11002

Hi,
We have installed Oracle Server 2.2.1 with Emulex LPC11002, When we are trying to fetch the information about the particular FC or when we are trying to install CLI interface module to that FC its throwing error
"Error while loading shared libraries: libnl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
Oracle VM Server has inbuild drivers for Emulex lpc11002 as per the release notes from Oracle VM Server
Kindly let us know what would be the problem
Regrads,
Shanthakumar K

Hi,
it seems OVM Server 2.2.1 does not install libnl by default.
If you have access to ULN install the libnl from there.
Otherwise configure your server to have access to publicyum.oracle.com (howto you will find on the site),
And do a
# yum install libnl
Hopefully OVM will not miss other packages you might need for the CLI interface...
Regards
Sebastian

Nvidia GeForce 200 series (gtx 260/280) support?

G`Day, are the nvidia drivers going to be updated to include support for these cards ?
Version: 177.13 has support, or is that the bad driver that has 2d performance regression on some cards ?
looking forward to try it out on arch
cheers.

Thanks for the replies, will try 177.70 from aur, just hope I dont`t get this error when I installed the driver via the *.run package
WARNING: Unable to perform the runtime configuration check for library
'libGL.so.1' ('/usr/lib/libGL.so.177.13'); assuming successful installation.
Could not play 32bit games a result in spite of having installed the 32bit libs.

Ucs on b series servers

Hey All, I have a question about the b series virtualised environment. Do you have to use San storage to run uccx and ccs etc etc or can internal storage be used when running a vm environment? Thanks in advance
Posted from my mobile device.

All B Series only runs with SAN based storage. Therefore based on your question UCCX would run on the SAN storage. There is a wiki you can find on cisco.com search that provides all the IOPS calculations for the SAN sizing.
http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Unified_Communications_Virtualization
All C Series has local storage.
HTH, please rate useful posts

UCS B-Series servers

Can B-series sever ping each other within the UCS chassis without ethernet uplink? Please advice.
Thanks

Hi Kaivon,
1) The chassis has to be connected to a FI,
2) In the service profile you will have to make sure the traffic is send to the same fabric / FI
3) In the default behaviour it won't, however you can change the Network Control policy to make this work.
LAN Tab -> Network Control policy -> Create a new policy -> Action on uplink fail -> change it to Warning -> in the service profile on the vnic specify this new policy.
However for a production environment we recommen not to change the link policy to warning and leave it at link down to avoid any failover issues etc.
