  • UCSM 2.1 Local disk configuration policy and raid volumes

    Hi!
    If i use Any configuration as local disk configuration policy and do the raid settings directly to the RAID-cards, am i able to have two raid volumes on C-series under UCSM management?
    What i would like to do with C240M3 with 6 local disks: 2 disk raid1 and 4 disk raid0
    So i would use:
    "Any Configuration—For a server configuration that carries forward the local disk configuration without any changes."
    As UCS servers Raid guide indicates:
    "Maximum of One RAID Volume and One RAID Controller in Integrated Rack-Mount Servers
    A rack-mount server that has been integrated with Cisco UCS Manager can  have a maximum of one RAID volume irrespective of how many hard drives  are present on the server. "
    Is this paragraph limitation of GUI not able to set several volumes or hard fact without "Any configuration" workaround?

    I did some testing about this issue:
    Changed Local Disk Configuration to "Any Configuration"
    Two virtual disks can be created from Raid card's WebBIOS
    These disks are visible to RedHat Installation.
    UCSM shows Any configuration for the Storage Local Disk policy
    Actual Disk Configuration has faulty information - WebBios is the only place to check the RAID status?
    Next step: I'll do the same for the production

  • Adding a Local disk Config policy

    I have a question regarding whether its possible to have more than one Local Disk configuration policy
    My scenario is I have just purchased 4 UCS 220 M3S which have SD cards instead of local drives and we have an existing UCS blades with a policy that uses local disk Raid 1 and I need to add to this config so Flex flash state enabled but I am a bit wary of making any changes that may impact production Chassis system.
    There is a policy that we use as default that uses the Local Disk policy Raid 1 settings, and the service profile template I have created for UCS 220s  is a copy of  our production blade policy so If I make a change on the UCS 220 Service profile to use a different local Disk policy which would be for SD Card will it have any impact ??
    Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

    Hi
    Just enabling the flex flash on your local policy doesn't cause any impact on any of your servers so it is safely to apply it even though this policy is used by your c and b series servers. 
      But if you want to use a new policy  and you only want to add this change to your c-series server, you need to make sure that your service profiles are not bound to an updating template because you will need to unbind them before you can apply make any changes to the service profiles.
    to answer your question:
    "its possible to have more than one Local Disk configuration policy?"
    it is possible to have multiple local disk policies created in UCSM, but you can't have multiple policies associated with a template.
    Let me know if this helps.

  • Boot from san with local disk

    I have some B200M3's with local disk.  I would like to configure them to boot from san.  I've setup a service profile template with a boot policy to boot from CD first and then the SAN.  I have a local disk configuration policy to mirror the local disks.   I've zoned the machines so that it presently only sees one path to the storage because I'm installing windows and I don't want it to see the disks funky because of multiple paths to the same disk.  When I boot the machine it sees the disk.  I boot to the Windows 2012R2 iso and load the drivers for the cisco mlom and then the single lun will appear.  The local disk will also appear.  It can't install Windows 2012R2 on the SAN disk only the local disk.  It sees the local disk as disk 0 and the san disk as disk 3.  I don't know how to get the machine to see the san disk as disk 0.  I have the lun (which resides on an vnx5600) as lun 0.  The boot policy is configured to have the san lun as lun 0.  It even appears while booting the san lun appears as lun 0.  The error I'm getting from the windows installer is:  We couldn't install Windows in the location you chose.  Please check your media drive.  Here's more info about what happened: 0x80300001.  Any suggestions to get this to boot from SAN.

    Hi
    during the boot up process, do you see the wwpn of the target showing that the VIC can talk to the storage?
    Reboot the server in question, when you see the option to get into bios press F2, ssh to the primary fabrics a run the following commands
    connect adapter (x/x/x). <--- (chassis #/slot #/adapter#)
    connect
    attach-fls
    lunlist 
    (provide output of last command)
    lunmap

  • NetBoot : any way to disable local disk in non disk less mode?

    Hello
    Is there any way to disable the local disk of any client booting from a NetBoot image in the non disk less mode? I guess unmounting the local disk is not possible in the non disk less mode, as the local disk is used for local shadowing/caching thus to "boost" performance - but is there any other way that users can not see the local disk as they are irritated about this second disk they are asked to not save any file on it? To disable the local disk would also have the purpose, that applications located on the local disk are not runnable/startable as long the client is booting from a NetBoot image, but would be runnable when the client is booting from the local disk.
    Thanks for any hint, best regards, relume

    Don’t enable Full Screen and it won’t make another Desktop. That is the way Full Screen is implemented. No way around that.
    If you are clicking the Zoom button (green dot), then they have altered the default behavior to go to Full Screen, but you can get the alternate behavior by holding down the Option key (alt) when clicking the green dot. It will then Zoom. You can also double-click the empty space in the window frame. However, if you have it set to minimize on double-click, you will have to disable that to get the Zoom mode.

  • How to configure local disk on OVM Server as storage space to create VMs

    Hello,
    We have installed OVM Server 3.1.1 on a machine that has 250 GB of Hard disk space [Single disk].
    While installing used an option - Remove all partitions and create a new default partition layout.
    Around 4GB has been used and remaining 246 GB is left as free space.
    From OVM Manager - the server is discovered but didn't discovered the physical disk [i.e. remaining 246 GB raw disk space].
    Can someone help me to understand how to use local disk as storage space for creating and running VM's.
    Thanks
    Srinivas

    You can? You've used every conceivable BIOS out there? You must really be full of yourself. There is absolutely no BIOS that I know of that gives this basic function. BIOSs do not "hard partition" anything. A "BIOS" is not made for such things. Do you even know what "BIOS" stands for?
    I wonder why there is some many wanting to do this and are having problems.... I mean if it is such a straight forward thing to do..... It must be down right "intuitive".
    You maybe speaking of a RAID "BIOS" but you obviously think you're not. Some motherboards have integrated RAID abilities. Intel RST comes to mind... BUT this isn't a feature of a MOTHERBOARD BIOS.
    I've got some $50,000 servers that will not break a single hard drive up into multiple logical drives..... Now, I haven't worked on a "Stinkpad" for many years. Don't want to. However, I have never seen one that would do what you're saying you're doing.
    You maybe trying to help.... but you're leading people down a wrong path.
    Its just as easy to run virtual box and use the virtual box templates for Oracle VM. In fact, its more practical if you want to run Oracle VM on a laptop for testing purposes than blowing everything away and attempting to setup different LUNS on a single hard drive.
    For your review...
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-admin/configure-vm-templates-1656261.html
    Although it's more reliable to use a separate location (such as an NFS share) for a storage repository, you can use a local disk of your Oracle VM Server instead, thus taking advantage of the local storage option. Beware, though: Oracle VM Server 3.0 doesn't allow you to utilize the unused space on the physical disk it's installed on. For local storage, you'll need at least one more physical disk. In other words, you'll need a total of two disks at minimum on your Oracle VM Server host if you want to use local storage. In practice, though, local storage is not a primary use case. The major downside to this approach is that local storage, by definition, cannot be shared between different servers.

  • How to download and upload SPRO configuration to and from local disk?

    Hello,
       I'm very new to SAP. Recently we had a problem while refreshing our QNA system from PRD. I knew there are some configurations, which do not have a transport and thus configured directly in QNA. These changes were not noted by mistake and after the refresh from PRD, we have lost these configurations.
      Is there any way we can save the SPRO configurations to local disk and upload them again? Are there any custom programs available? Please advice?
    Regards,
    Nathani

    The trouble with these kind of situations is that an applet runs on the client. If you want an applet to connect to a specific server (which means the client makes a connection to that server), you basically have to give the entire world access rights to that server. I don't think your friendly local administrator will be too happy with such a prospect.
    What you could do is put a man in the middle. Don't upload to the file server directly, but to for example the web server where the applet was downloaded from, for example by making a servlet available that takes a HTTP file upload. When that upload is complete, send the file from your man in the middle server to the file server using whatever method you like/have available/know how to code. In this situation only your web server needs access to the file server, which is far easier to secure.

  • Won't boot up, it says "Waiting for local disks"

    The other day I got a warning that I was running out of disk space and that I should delete some files off my computer. I was going to do that, but I didn't for some reason and then shut down the computer. Now when I try to start up the computer it will start booting up--but then it gets to, "Waiting for local disks" and won't go past that. Will a 512mb internal memory card solve the problem?

    Ridders3425's tip on holding the mouse button down on startup should work fine. You should be aware that when burning a disc, you really need at least as much free space on the hard drive as the size of the disc being burned; e.g., about 640MB for CD-R, 4.7 GB for DVD-R. Allowing a few hundred MB for the system swap files, and you get the rule of thumb to keep 1 to 5 GB free space on the hard drive. That's to allow for creation of the temporary scratch files that are creating durning the burning process. That puts you in a Catch-22 situation when you get the running of of drive space warning: you needd to delete some files to gain space, but you can't really back anything up safely without free space to start with.
    Do you have access to another Mac? You could then use a Firewire cable to connect the two and try to boot your eMac as the target disk; refer to How to use FireWire target disk mode. You can then use the other Mac to perform the backup of files and to remove enough unneeded filed from the eMac to permit it to boot.

  • Freezes on "Searching for local disks" on boot up

    I installed 10.3 on my G4 recently. Everything worked fine for about a week, and then during boot up the progress bar gets about 75% done and gets stuck on "Searching for local disks". It never moves on. I tried going to disk utility, I get to the first page asking which language to use and I hit english. It moves to the next page, to prepare installation, and it just freezes. I can move the cursor, but nothing will happen. I cannot run disk utility or reinstall. It just stalls at this point. Any ideas?!

    JRH13:
    Try this:
    • Shut down the computer.
    • Locate the following keys: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously later.
    • Turn on the computer.
    • Press and hold the Command + Option + P + R keys immediately after the startup chime.
    • Hold keys down until you hear the startup chime for the third time.
    • Release the keys and immediately hold down Shift key to start up in Safe Mode.
    • Log in and empty Trash.
    • Restart normally and log in.

  • Boot from local disk image ?

    Hi there,
    I would like to now if it's possible to install snow leopard on my macbook air from a local disk image (.iso)
    as anyone done it ?
    Cheers,
    Antoine

    You cannot start up your computer from a disk image without cloning, burning, or restoring the image to an internal drive, external FireWire drive, or optical disks first, as disk images are not usable until the necessary drivers are loaded, and the drivers aren't loaded until Mac OS X has started up.

  • Windows 8.1 : Windows explorer show DVD drive as local disk

    I have windows 8.1. On windows explorer , the DVD-ROM Drive icon is displayed as a Local disk. When I double click on that icon I get a strange error message :
    An error occurred while ejecting "*,"
    On Device manager , on disk management , everything is ok and the drive has the correct type : DVD-ROM Drive".
    What should I do ?

    1. Ensure the drives are properly recognized on the BIOS.
    2.
     Proceed to back your information and do a clean installation of the Operating System using the latest drivers from our website since this seems to be an Operating System instead of a hardware failure.
    3. Test with a different DVD driver to narrow the issue properly.
    4. Remove the RTC (Real Time Clock) battery and leave it out for 30 minutes.  After this
    period of time, insert the battery back in and turn the system back on; if it displays POST messages, go into BIOS Setup Utility by pressing <F2> during the boot process.  Once in the BIOS setup utility, press <F9> to restore BIOS default
    settings.  Reset any customized BIOS settings. Clear all DMI event logs, which are located in the Advanced/Event Log Configuration section of the BIOS Setup utility.  Press <F10> to save the new settings and reboot the system.

  • Local disk reservation keys

    Does anyone know if SC stores reservation keys differently on scsi hba vs. ide hba's??
    -hedo

    SCSI keys are always stored in the same way and in the same place regardless of disk type as far as I know. However, from the title of the post (and I assume it's in relation to your other post) I would say that local disks should not be reserved. This leads me to suspect that you are doing something more unusual.
    Could you explain your configuration? Are you trying to use iSCSI for example?
    Thanks,

  • Reader X crashes when user profile redirected to 2nd local disk

    This issue is related to, and possibly a duplicate of, the Reader X Folder Redirection issue.  This is with Reader version 10.1.0 on Windows 7.  Reader version 9 works fine, and if we run Reader X in XP compatibility mode it also works fine, but then we lose protected mode operation.
    In our Windows 7 deployments, there are two local disks (C: and U:).  For most users the profile is relocated from C: to U: and replaced by a junction point, for example "C:\Users\fred" is really a junction point to "U:\Users\fred". This is part of our user data backup/restore mechanism and a key part of how we manage Windows images for users.  This works well for most applications but we have found that it causes Reader X to crash with a MSVC++ runtime error similar to what others have reported in different circumstances.  Here is what we have observed so far.
    1.  Reader X will crash immediately when a user attempts to start it from the desktop or start menu.  Procmon suggests that this crash is related to errors encountered when the application attempts to access the user's temp folder (C:\Users\fred\AppData\Local\Temp) which is really on the U: drive.
    2.  Resetting the TEMP and TMP environment variables to "C:\temp" allows the application to launch, but...
    3.  Once Reader X is launched, some features will cause it to crash in the same way.  For example displaying preferences causes it to crash immediately (Edit/Preferences in the menu or using the Ctrl-K shortcut).  Procmon suggests this is related to the application trying to access the "C:\Users\fred\AppData\Roaming" folder which is really on the U: drive.
    4.  Reader X never crashes and works just fine if the user's profile has not been relocated from the C: drive to the U: drive.  But this only applies to a small fraction of users that we manage.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  I can provide Procmon traces if that might be helpful.

    We were experiencing the same issue.
    We solved this by creating a GPO:
    First open your GP mangement console, edit the GPO to which this applies. (This is a user GPO, so make sure you are on the user Ou!)
    Edit:
    User Configuration\Preferences\Drive Maps
    Add a new drive mapping, mapped to \\server\share\%username% (in our case we mapped to P:\)
    On the Common tab, make sure the "Run in user context" is ticked.
    Next create a shortcut (or multiple shortcuts)
    Edit:
    User Configuration\Preferences\Shortcuts
    Add a shortcut to
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe (this is for Adobe Reader XI on Win x64; lookup your local path on the destination machines)
    Change the start in to P:\ (the driveletter used in the drive mapping)
    On the common tab also make sure this policy runs in the Logged-on user's security context.
    This solved all issues at our end and we have this running with Adobe Reader X and XI
    If you need to apply this to both Win x32 and x64 machines, you can apply item level targeting and choose the Operating system of choice. (If you add 2 OS'es, like Win 7 and Win 8, make sure that the option is OR and not AND).
    good luck

  • IO Analyzer Hitting Local Disk

    Hello -
    Our team is trying to use IOAnalyzer, however, it appears all of the I/O is hitting disk1 as opposed to the second disk that we've configured. Our setup is as follows:
    1 Master with 8 workers.
    Each appliance has disk 1 (sda) configured to reside on local storage of the host.
    Each appliance has disk 2 (sdb) configured to reside on an iSCSI LUN.
    After running the workload, the write/read requests are hitting the local disk (mpx.*) of the ESXi hosts. The iSCSI LUN (eui.*) show no I/O. Are we configuring the IO analyzers incorrectly? Do disk1 and disk2 need to reside on the same datastore?
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    We fixed the issue by setting the hostname in the yast2 menu. Run the command:
    sudo yast2 network
    and edit the network adapter assigned to the VM. Our hostnames matched the VM names. Hope this helps.
