KVM Virtualization support on UCS C-Series

We have a few UCS-C220-M3 servers, for some reason we don't see that KVM Virtualization running on it.
UCS-C220-M3S, CIMC FW: 1.5(1b), BIOS: 1.5.1c.0 (Build Date: 01/31/2013)
I tried to start manually and following error shows up:
root@QvPC-SI:~# modprobe kvm_intel
ERROR: could not insert 'kvm_intel': Operation not supported
Looks like the module is loaded properly:
root@QvPC-SI:~# lsmod | grep kvm
kvm                     431315  0
Then check dmesg output to see if there was any problem:
root@QvPC-SI:~# dmesg | grep kvm
[84496.551175] kvm: no hardware support

Hi Ahmed
The 2TB limit is due to a VMware 5.0 limitation. If you are deploying a VSM 7.2 ova, then you should be following the below guide as it uses Redhat for the OS as apposed to Suse for VSM 6.3:

  • 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.

  • UCS C-series support for Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) HBAHP

    Hi Team,
    Do we have a UCS c-series solution to support Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) HBAHP or anything like this?
    Sample is from third party: SC08Ge Host Bus Adapter

    Hi Jackson,
    Yes its is possible.    Connect the storage array to the fabric interconnects using two 10GB links per storage processor.  Connect each SP to both fabric interconnects and configure the ports on the fabric interconnect as “Appliance” ports from UCSM
    For more information on how to connect Netapp storage using other protocols like iSCSI or FCOE  please check the url below.

  • Lync 2013 Standard Edition on Cisco UCS E-Series

    Hello,
    We have a working Lync 2013 deployment:
    - Front-End Enterprise Pool consisting of 3 FE servers
    - one Edge Server
    - one Back-End server
    - one Mediation Server
    - one IP PBX gateway, where ITSP's SIP trunks end.
    Because we have geographically distributed offices, we are considering deploying of branch offices deployments.
    Technet recommends to use SBA for branch offices where there are less than 1000 users. But in case of WAN outage, no conferencing will be available for branch users.
    Lync 2013 Standard edition branch deployment would offer all Lync features in case of WAN outage.
    In every branch, we consider deploying a Cisco ISR G2 router for terminating branch SIP trunks. This equipment have option to add Cisco UCS E-Series blade that supports CPU with hardware virtualization and supports decent amount of RAM (up to 16GB and up
    to 48GB).
    Have anyone experience with deploying Lync Standard Edition on this equipment - Cisco UCS E-Series blades? In every branch office there are up to 50 - 500 users that will use Lync.
    Thanks,
    Andrei Moraru Endava

    Hi,
    I don’t think you can deploy Lync server 2013 on Cisco UCS E-Series blades.
    Here is a link below of “System Requirements for Servers Running Lync Server 2013” may help you:

  • UCS C series maximum hard drive size

    Looking for info on the maximum hard drive size support on teh UCS C series.  I have a C200M2 that I added a 4TB drive, I have updated the server to the latest firmware and BIOS however the server shows the drive size is 2TB.

    Hi!  and welcome to the community mate!
    Here is the table that shows the supported disk's PID for the C200 server:
    http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/products/collateral/servers-unified-computing/ucs-c-series-rack-servers/c200m2_sff_specsheet.pdf
    If you successfully installed ONE HDD of 4GB and made it work, you were lucky cause I don't see any disk with that size, I have not even seen a disk of that size for UCS yet.
    I am wondering if perhaps you installed 4 disks of 1TB and configured them in RAID 1 which would explain the reason for the size to go down to half of the capacity of the array as RAID 1 is a mirror.
    Let me know if I misunderstood you.

  • Support of UCS P81E in third-party servers

    Hi there,
    is it possible to use UCS P81E (N2XX-ACPCI01=) with other servers than UCS C-series? If so, is there any compatibilty list of supported vendors or server types?
    Cheers,
    Helena

    The datasheet referenced her descibes Adapter-FEX the reference is specific to that technology.  It states:
    "...An ecosystem of adapter vendors is now about to  support this technology using the IEEE 802.1Qbh standard, the first  vendor being Cisco itself, with the Cisco UCS P81E VIC (Figure 2),  designed for use with Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Servers. Other  adapter vendors will soon follow, providing adapters that support this  capability. Both Cisco Nexus 5500 platform and the Cisco Nexus 2000  Series Fabric Extenders support the Adapter FEX technology across a  variety of adapter platforms. Therefore, the offering can now be  expanded outside a Cisco UCS environment to third-party server vendors  that support IEEE 802.1Qbh-capable adapters."
    This means that you could use a third-party adapter such as the Broadcom 57712 which is IEEE 802.1Qbh (prestandard IEEE 802.1Qbr) capable to configure Adapter-FEX in a Cisco or Non-Cisco server.
    As Manish mentions, the P81E is only supported in the C-Series servers and there are currently no immediate plans to qualify it with other third party servers.

  • UCS C series server whether accessible from Linux prompt

    Hi UCS Team,
    I have UCS c series server.
    I am able to check the Fan, power,cooling and equipment and hardware status using the CIMC.
    In CIMC I configured the SNMP and check it using MG soft Mib browser tool.
    The CIMC query the BIOS for getting the information.
    Similarly is there any process to get the BIOS information from the Linux.
    Correct me If I am wrong anywhere.
    My requirement is to query the UCS C server BIOS information using Linux-SNMP without CIMC.(direct access of BIOS from Linux)
    Can I install a Linux supported SNMP client and supported MIBS to query the BIOS level information of UCS using SNMP MG soft Mib browser?

    Hi Keny,
    I tried to powercycle both servers (c260M2 and C460M2) but still no discovered server and also no logg.
    I checked
    Rack Server Discovery Policy == immediate
    Rack management Connecton Policy == Auto Achnowledged
    Chassis/Fex Doscovery Policy == 2 Link and Port-Channel (As I installed 2232PP I moved to Port Channel)
    I am running UCSM Version 2.1(1e)
    FI 6248 Version 5.0(3)N2(2.11e)
    2232PP run on same as FI
    I also have a connected 5108 with IOM 2104 running on 2.1(1e) Version.
    CIMC Version of C260M2 and C460M2 will be checked tomorrow when my kolleague is in the datacenter.
    Server Connection is not really the same like in http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c-series_integration/ucsm2.1/b_UCSM2-1_C-Integration_chapter_011.html
    Because I still have no VIC Card but the connections are the same.

  • UCS B series IOM firmware upgarde.

    Dear Experts;
    We have one BUG in our UCS B series server as below link.
    https://tools.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCue49366/?reffering_site=dumpcr
    The work around is to do the IOM  firmware upgarde.
    As teher are several Firmware are associated with the  UCS system how to knwo the dependency and how to know which firmware is compatible with the uCS server.
    Please assist me to get teh proper IOM firmware .I opened one TAC and they are telling TAC doesn't support this we have to contact cisco AS team and we don't have cisco AS team contract.
    Regards
    Debashis

    Dear Walter;
    Really appreciated your expert technical advice.
    I have one small question as below if you can answer it..
    As per the existing setup..
    This UCS system is connected with the EMC storage Model:VMAX-1SE  Version:5876.
    We have no idea if   UCS firmware version 2.1(3c) is compatible with the MC storage Model:VMAX-1SE  Version:5876..
    I have opened the TAC and also went through the Compatibility matrix where it mentioned as attached and to conatct EMC vendor.
    We opened case with EMC they are telling contact Cisco and Cisco TAC telling contact EMC.
    IS there any way we can know this?
    Note as per the attachment:
    5. Direct Connect FC/FCoE topologies are supported with this array.
    6. Non-default adapter settings are typically required by storage vendors and found on their support list.
    7.Multiple array and switch models supported with UCS by the storage vendor are on their support list.
    12.iSCSI Boot is supported Both Appliance and Uplink ports are supported unless otherwise noted.
    26. Supported for NFS/CIFS access via appliance ports on the Fabric Interconnect

  • UCS C Series hardware monitoring

    Does anybody know how we could monitor the UCS C Series hardware (power supply, Hard disk, Memory ect...) within SolarWinds. We usually monitor servers via SNMP. It looks like there is the CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-EQUIPMENT-MIB that is supported on UCS manager 1.4 and above. When I to poll the box for those MIB's I get the OID is not supported. The UCS C Series server is on 1.3(2j) for the firmware version. Do we need to upgrade to 1.4 to get the equipment monitoring to work or is there another way? I notice a lot of users are monitoring B Series in Solarwinds but I haven't really seen anything on C Series.
    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Hello,
    Yes, CIMC 1.4 has additional SNMP functionality.

  • 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

  • Vmware esx 4.1 (not cisco custom iso) supported on ucs C 24 M3

    Hi,
    In a test plant I need to install esxi 4.1, not in production network, as it can be done without buying the vmware licenze (custom cisco iso)?
    Someone did install esxi 4.1 (not cisco custom iso) with success on ucs c serie 24 M3 ?

    no, because the environment is a test plant and the customer not want to buy the licenses for vmware, and I saw on the website that the version 4.1 (not custom cisco iso) is free
    I can install the free version 4.1 on ucs ?
