How to shutdown UCS central vm

How do you shutdown UCS central virtual appliance?  I have it running on a standalone ESXi machine and I need to shutdown the ESXi machine for some maintenance.  Since the vm doesn't have VMware tools installed you can't shut it down from vCenter and I'm looking at the cli configuration guide and I don't see any specific command for shutting it down from the cli.  Also, I don't see an option from the gui to shut it down.     I ended up just powering off the vm since I'm just playing around with it right now, but for future reference I was wondering what's the proper way to shut the vm down.         

As a workaround until this feature is available, i did see a 'reboot' option in local management CLI. 
Prior to rebooting, edit the VM properties under Options > Boot Options > Check Force BIOS Setup.  This will prevent the OS from reloading.  Then you can shutdown.
Once you power the VM back up, the BIOS check will be gone and the VM will load.
Thank You,

  • UCS Central: How Global Service Profile match DG

    Hi
    I'm pretty new to UCS Central and I've got a rudimentary UCS Central question.
    I wonder how Global Service Profiles match/relate to domain groups.
    To what I've read so far we use different domain groups to apply different operational policies to differenent UCS systems.
    How does this relate/interact with global service profiles?
    Is there a way to make sure that some service profiles could be associated just to UCS servers belonging to one DG?
    Or is everything which is related to global service profiles like MAC-adresses, policies and the service profiles themselves always at the root and therefore can always be applied to all UCS servers managed within one UCS Central installation?
    best regards
    Dani         

    Hi Dani,
    Global Service Profiles fall under the Organization structure.     And the Organization structure/hierarchy has no relationship/dependency to Domain Groups.
    So limitting visibility of Global Service Profiles/Templates to certain Domain Groups --- no, you'd have to limit them within an Organizational context.
    Hope this helps,
           -Jeff

  • Need to run fsck on UCS Central VM -- how?

    We had a storage disruption event recently that appears to have flipped the root volume on our UCS Central VM to read-only. After rebooting the VM, I get an error message about needing to run a manual fsck due to filesystem errors on /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 (see attached screenshot), and I get dropped into a shell prompting for the root password. I can't seem to find any root credentials in the UCS documentation. Is there a procedure for repairing the filesystem and repairing the VM?

    Brad,
    You'll need to open a TAC case.  We don't provide root/shell access to the VM externally.

  • I can't take ressources in global pool of UCS Central

    Hello
    I try to use UCS Central to manage my differents pool (mac, WWN, UUID).
    From Central I can't see local pool of UCSM !!! From UCSM, i can see global port i defined, but when i choose a ressource of global pool, i have en error : Resolving identifiers from UCS Central.
    The central sees UCSM, UCSM is registred to Central, and UCSM sees the global pool but doesn't use.
    I try to resign UCSM, to reinstall UCS Central but it's the same thing.
    Are there any commands to check more communication between central an UCSM ?
    Thank
    Stéphane

    Thank Chetan,
    From UCSM, the ping is ok with UCS central.
    I want to check from UCSM the possibility of use global pools (ucs central).
    From UCSM GUI, when I create a Service Profile, i can see global pools (mac, wwn, uuid), but when I try to used it, I have an error :
    "UUID address assignment failed, possibly illegal UUID or no available UUID in the pool"
    If i use a local pool, it's OK.
    How can I debug this problem?
    From UCSM CLI or central CLI, can I have commands that can give me more details about the global pools, and to see that global pools work properly.

  • Rebuilding /re-registering UCS Central (MAC/WWPN issues?)

    Hello,
    My Standalone UCS Central VM has failed and we have no backups!! I need to rebuild a new UCS Central server. The old UCSC VM had MAC and WWPN pools configured. Has anyone ever had to unregister a UCS Central server and register a new one into the same environment.
    How will the existing environment deal with the registration of a new UCSC?
    Could I build a new server and recreate the pools in the same format? (Would it create conflicts as the existing services have been allocated MAC and WWPN already from this 'new' pool)
    Cheers, KP

    Hi Walter,
    Unfortunately, I need to install UCSC from scratch and register it with my UCSMs.
    I intend on reusing the hostname and IP
    Luckily, we have no global service profiles (only local profiles and templates) but we do allocate WWPN, WWNN, UUID, MAC via UCS Central. I believe these will be preserved when I unregister the old server.
    I wanted to also recreate the above pools in the same format/same range but wanted to make sure the new UCSC didn't provide existing IDs consumed by local profiles only available IDs.

  • UCS Central - Uplink Traffic Monitoring - Statistic reporting

    Hey guys,
    today I want to start a little discussion about monitoring of uplinks and interpreting the results of the report.
    In my UCS Central, I created a report for all my four FC uplinks FI-A:31-32 and FI-B:31-32 of my UCS. (see report in attached file).
    So it says for TX (Delta) FI-A:31 10,61 GB. How I have to interpret that result?
    like that? 10,61GB in 30sec (30sec collection interval / 15min reporting interval)
    means: 10,61GB/30sec = 0,3537 GB/sec = 2,83 Gbit/s.
    Sometimes the Result says 102 GB. So it would be 27,2 Gbit/s. That's not possible, because it is a 8GBit FC Uplink. oO
    Can someone help me to interpret that correct?
    Many thanks
    /Hugo

    No. You are speaking about SPAN sessions...I'm not speaking about that. I rather refer to having a feature as simple as having a graph of average bandwidth percentage occupation of last week for ethernet port 1/2 of Fabric Interconnect, for instance. We do not have such capabilities in UCS Manager and was wondering till what extent the above mentioned applications do have them??

  • UCS Central - Making Boot Policy - SAN boot target Provisioning

    Gents
    Some objects is always related to the domains and need to be provisioned in global like
    VLANs: but we can did it by Provisioning VLANs with UCS Central Using VLAN ID Aliasing.
    VSANs: the same idea in VLAN ID Aliasing.
    Boot Policy adding SAN boot target : what about this issue how can I provision it so I can configure it globally in abstract way then it will take targets depend on domain during associating the global service profile.

    @Gmonroy
    Thanks for support
    But if I need to make a global Service profile temp so I can deploy SF from it in any domain, and if  I referenced this service profile temp to one boot policy so i need to unbind each service profile created from this temp to associate a different boot policy in each domain ? " I will lose the benefit of updating service profile template "
    Or I have to create different template per domain ? " I will lose the key benefit of  centralizing Templates in UCS central"
    Or there is any workaround to deply this senario. 

  • Ucs central and ucsm templates

    I joined one of my ucsm to ucs central. I have local vnic templates, service profiles and policies on there. How will they show up in ucs central?
    Also when I create something in ucs central under that ucsm, I do not see it show up when i log in locally under the ucsm

    Russ,
    This is just a best practice/recommendation.  Since ucsCentral is a management application we're recommending to host within the scope of your other management devices.  We have many customers who don't run a separate/segregated management domain and who chose to run ucsCentral on the UCS domains it manages.  There's no probem with this technically.  It's a similar recommendation to running your vCenter on an ESX host it manages.  Personally I have no issues with this myself and most customers deploy this way, but in a best-practice world design suggests to keep it separated.

    Robert

  • UCS Central 1.1.1a

    Hello,
    I am using UCS Central 1.1.1a and have spun up couple of UCS Emulators to see how the UCS central works. I was able to register the UCS central on 2 UCS Manager domains. But these UCSM are not being displayed on the UCS Central GUI. Do I have to create any policy for the UCSM to show up in Central?
    Thank you!

    Unfortunately, there’s a version lock compatibility issue.     UCSM 2.1.1 (and PE 2.1.1a) will only work with UCS Central 1.0.    UCS Central 1.1(released just yesterday) will only work with UCSM 2.1.2 --- and the corresponding PE, when it becomes available.   So for now, the only way to work with UCS Central 1.1 is going to be with physical domains, not emulators.    
    Please stand by as the new PE for 2.1.2 will be available shortly.
    Thanks,
      -Jeff

  • UCS Central

    Is it possible to convert local service profile to global in UCS central 1.1(2). I tried to restore ucs central system state backup on new vm.
    It restored successful but Domain went to suspend mode because GUID on UCS central changed. It is asking to unregister  and register again.
    I re-registered and then all global policies and profiles became local.

    Hi Wdey,
    Thx for u Answer!!
    Yes i know this, my questions are:
    1) what happent if i shut down the one UCS Central Appliance  (no cluster) if i have made my hole config on there?
    Is this like vcenter? There I can shutdown vCenter and the ESX Hosts works fine.Is this the Same on UCS Central?
    2) I can se the option "Persistend Binding"  in my Global Service Profile under "vHBA" but i can't change it to "enable" because the SP is from my Global Template. And i would't change the association. 
    The Problem is, that i can't change this vhba Option "Persistend Binding"  in the global Template because this Option doesn't exist in the Global Template! (only in the Service Profile)
    I know that things are different from the UCS Management but this is a realy important option.
    And i can change it but obly if i say "unbind from Template" 
    For my opinion it make no sense that i have this options only in Global Service Profile and not in Global Service Template
