Memory for Cisco C200m2 rack server

Hi
I have an C200m2 rack server with 3x2GB of ram memory. I want to extend that to atleast 12Gb of ram how should
Add 1st 8GB module = 3X2GB + 8GB
or remove the old memory and replace it with 3x4GB
//T

Hi Tobias ,
Check this information:
When considering the memory configuration of your server, you should consider the following items:
•DIMMs within the server should all be the same type, speed, and size. Do not mix different size DIMMs or DIMMs with different clock rates in the same server. Doing so causes the system to set the memory system speed to that of the slowest installed DIMMs.
•DIMMs can be used either in a one DIMM per Channel (1DPC) configuration or in a two DIMMs per Channel (2DPC) configuration.
•There are blue and black DIMM slots. Populate blue slots in a bank first.
Please check the link for further details:

Hope this help!

How increase flash memory for cisco routers in GNS3?

I have GNS3 simulator and I am trying to increase the flash memory. I've changed the memory in the GNS3 -> R1 -> Configure -> Memories and disks -> PCMCIA disk slot to 124 MiB.
I created a new topology and set the memory. Still it shows the same 8MiB (default).
How to fix it?
Raja

Hello!!
Can you use routers like 3725 and try to increase the memory in node configuration.
You can change the size of PCMCIA Disk0.
This kind of routers works for me.
Thanks,

Problem on installing Solaris 10 on Cisco UCS-C24-M3S2 rack server.

I've got issue on installing Solaris 10 on Cisco UCS-C24-M3S2 rack server. Solaris 10 doesn't recognize UCSC-RAID-ROM55.

Hi dipaktimsina,
From the documentation below it looks like Solaris doesn't have support for the embedded raid controller with the ROM55 chip.

How to increase the memory for my weblogic server in Jdeveloper 12.1.2.0.0 ?

Hey everyone,
So as my title says, i'm trying to increase the memory for my weblogic server in my windows 7 64 bit machine, with 8GB ram.
The values appear to be: JAVA Memory arguments: -Xms256m -Xmx512m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
I've done some search from this forum and i've added this to my jdev.conf:
AddVMOption -XX:MaxPermSize=1536M (in this one i've only changed the value)
AddVMOption -Xmx1536M
AddVMOption -Xms1536M
And i've changed this: MEM_ARGS="-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m" in my startNodeManager.sh file
I'm still getting the same line in my server but i need to change the values since i'm not getting the server to run my application very well (it gets stucked in loading my databases and graphs) and i think it will continue untill i get a heap exception error.
Any ideas of how to change this?
Regards,
Frederico.

Thanks Alejandro .
I'm going to ask you another question and this one is quite important.
Whenever i run my project a couple of times, i'm not able to retrieve the page, it just gets stuck on loading.
It just stops the loading, like its a really really slow page. I'm not using a lot of rows in my database so i don't take to much memory but it doesn't load and i know everything is fine but i just added some graphs after testing it.
Do you know why?
In the console it says that everything is fine and shows the link for the page but it never loads completely until it gives a error because it does not respond in 600 seconds.
Strange right?

Server has not enough memory for operation (Some .rpt files not removing from Temp folder )

We have web application developed in ASP.NET 4.0 ftramework and published on IIS. And we are using 13_0_8 version of CR.
I am creating report files and exporting these as pdf. And I am disposing streams and report documents at the end. Initially, there wasn't any problem and temporary files which are created by CrystalReport were deleting all. But, now requests to the web application increeased to about 50.000 in a day and now some .rpt files are staying in Temp folder and I can't delete them. After recycling application pool all files are removed by IIS. Then, after 1 or 2 hours new .rpt files are creating in Temp folder. And after somewhile, application throws Server has not enough memory for operation. And, IMHO the reason is temp files. Here is the code I am using to export report as pdf.
Questions:
1. Is the reason of this exception is temp files in Temp folder?
2. What is wrong in that code?
ReportDocument report = DownloadPDF.GetReport(id);
   MemoryStream stream = (MemoryStream)report.ExportToStream(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat);
   Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
   Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + id+ ".pdf");
report.Close();
report.Dispose();
   try
   Response.BinaryWrite(stream.ToArray());
   Response.End();
   catch (Exception)
   finally
stream.Flush();
stream.Close();
stream.Dispose();
Here is the StackTrace

Hi,
Depending what your server is (shape and size) and you plan for future usage not CPU, RAM or anything inside. Please check the following lists:
   http://www.4cabling.com.au/server-racks-network-cabinets.html
   http://www.ebay.com.au/bhp/server-rack-cabinet
Note: You can buy rack(s) from any supplier, no need IBM or HP or Dell .... racks (actually they are more expensive than racks from companies which sell racks/cabinets).

Hardware Needed for Cisco 2911 as a console server

Hi,
We need to setup Cisco 2911 router as a console server for OOB (Out of band) connectivity to console of each DC device (upto 20 devices) Could someone please respond to the following questions we had:
1. What interface module can we install on the 2911 ISR for this purpose?
2. What cable (part number please) will go to the that 2911-ISR interface slot and then we can connect the consoel ports of out network devices to that cable.
It needs to be something similar to the cisco octal cable which I know we used for Cisco 2500 series for console purposes to other devices. But not sure about Cisco 2911.
I would highly appreciate your information and help.
Thanks
Lovleen

You would need an interface providing asynchronous serial ports. Something like the HWIC-8A or the HWIC-16A. Needing 20 ports you will most likely use one of each type (having then 24 ports).
The cable to connect to the HWIC is the CAB-HD8-ASYNC. If you attach routers and switches console ports directly to the RJ45 plugs everything is fine. If you have other types of serial ports to serve (DB-9 or DB-25) then you need the according adapters. I don't know if they have product numbers...

Mail and SMTP server settings of ASA Certificate Authority for cisco anyconnect VPN

Dear All,
i have the folloing case :
i am using ASA as Certificate authority for cisco anyconnect VPN users,the authentication happens based on the local database of the ASA,
i want to issue a new certificate every 72 hours for the users ,and i want to send the one time password via email to each user.
so what the setting of the mail and smtp server should be ,
was i understand i should put my smtp server ip address then i have to create the local users again under(Remte VPN VPN--Certificate management--Local certificate authority --Manage user Database) along with their email addresses to send the one time passsword to them via their emails.
i sent the email manually ,hwo can automate sending the OTP to our VPN users automatically vi their emails?
Best regards,

Thanks Jennifer.
I did manage to configure LDAP attribute map to the specific group policy.
Nevertheless, I was thinking whether I can have fixed IP address tied to individual user.
Using legacy Cisco VPN Client, I can do it using IPSEC(IKEv1) Connection profile, where I set Pre-Shared Key and Client Address Pools. Each Client Address Pools has only 1 fix IP address.
Example: let say my username is LLH.
Connection Profile for me is : LLH-Connection-Profile, my profile is protected by preshared key.
Client Address Pool for me is : LLH-pool, and the IP is 172.16.1.11
Only me know the preshared key and only me can login with my Connection Profile.
Using AnyConnect, I have problem. User can use any connection profile because I cannot set preshared key for AnyConnect. In that case, I cannot control who can use my Connection Profile and pretend to be me.
Example:
AnyConnect Connection Profile for me is : LLH-Connection-Profile, without any password
Client Address Pool for me is : LLH-pool, IP is 172.16.1.11
Any body can use LLH-Connection-Profile, login with another user name, let say user-abc which is a valid user in LDAP server. In that case, ASA assign 172.16.1.11 to user-abc and this user-abc can access server which only allow my IP to access.
I hope above description can paint the scenario clearer.
Thanks in advance for all the help and comment given.

Hi,
Actually we have UCS 6248 fabric interconnect - first twelve ports are enabled and same in Cisco UCS Manager.
But when more port will be active by expansion module then UCSM can manage that too or need any other licence for UCSM too?

UCS C220 M4 rack server extremely noisy

Hi,
I am preparing a UCS C220 M4 with windows 2012 for a client.
The server is extremely noisy, I mean much more than any other rack server I have ever seen.
All the fan are working at highest speed rate as if the server had to urgently cool down.
The question is: Is this normal ? Is the server broken ? Is there an option to lower the "fan-policy".
And how is this done.
Best regards,
Javier Conejo

The fan policy can be lowered if you go to the Server> Power Policies> Fan Policy.
Here is the explanation for each option:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/sw/gui/config/guide/1.5/b_Cisco_UCS_C-series_GUI_Configuration_Guide.151_chapter_011.html#concept_8CB787DF70304E98BE25D120466418B9
Balanced This is the default policy. This setting can cool almost any server configuration, but may not be suitable for servers with PCIe cards, since these cards overheat easily.
Performance This setting can be used for server configurations where maximum fan speed is required for high performance. With this setting, the fan speeds will run at the same speed or higher speed than that of the Balanced fan policy.
Low Power This setting is ideal for minimal configuration servers that do not contain any PCIe cards.
High Power This setting can be used for server configurations that require fan speeds ranging from 60 to 85%. This policy is ideal for servers that contain PCIe cards that easily overheat and have high temperatures. The minimum fan speed set with this policy varies for each server platform, but is approximately in the range of 60 to 85%.
Maximum Power This setting can be used for server configurations that require extremely high fan speeds ranging between 70% to 100%. This policy is ideal for servers that contain PCIe cards that easily overheat and have extremely high temperatures. The minimum fan speed set with this policy varies for each server platform, but is approximately in the range of 70 to 100%.
There are still some PCIe cards that cannot be monitored and cause the policy to be "ignored" so the server can be kept cool (I'm not saying that is your issue, I am just mentioning it)
Open an SSH session and enter the commands:
"connect debug-shell"
"sensors"
Paste the output here for the FAN sensors (they will have the word "FAN" on it)
Be sure you air flow is not blocked at all by doors or cables.

Replacement for UCS-C200M2-VCD2 ??

I am working on a redundant Unified solution based on CUCM BE6000, we are using CMBE6K-UWL bundle which includes its server, but when we need to choose for redundant server , all documentation we have read recommends UCS-C200M2-VCD2 server as option.
But this UCS-C200M2-VCD2 server has EOL/EOS announcement:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6790/ps5748/ps378/end_of_life_notice_c51-701928.html
We are trying to find a proper option for our redundant server, so we would like to know if any of you would know which server will replace this model??
Thanks in advanced.
Enrique

im looking for an answer for the same
the c210M2-VCD3 is more than 2ice the price.
