Network link LED on UCS blades

Hi,
we got a working UCS system (6248 FI , 5108 chassis with 2204 IOM and B200-M3 blades) all is working fine but the network link LED are off. Is this a normal behaviour ? Since according to documentation they should blink green.
regards

Hi Lukasz,
I'm assuming we are speaking about the network LED 's on the IOM which are off.
What about the LED's on the respective ports on the FI?
What's the color of the LED's on the power supplies?
Thanks,
Majid

Why the network link LED always off for all B200 blade servers? is it normal or heathy?

Hi Expert,
Why the network link LED always off for all B200 blade servers? is it normal or heathy? refer to the installation document, it means no active network connection. However, all these servers are up and running with netwirk connection. anyone could explain this?

Ethernet controller driver not installing after Windows Server 2008 installation on Cisco UCS blade

I am using MDT 2010 to deploy Windows Server 2008 to a Cisco UCS B200 blade. The OS and hotfixes install with no problem. The system reboots and attempts to connect to the deployment share to continue with the task sequence and I receive an error stating
"A connection to the deployment share could not be made. The following networking device did not have a driver installed. PCI\VEN_1137&DEV_0043&SUBSYS_00481137&REV_A2"
The driver in question is the driver for the Ethernet controller for the UCS blade. More specifically, it is the network driver for the Palo card in the UCS Chassis. When I Ignore or Abort the install, I am able to manually install the driver and restart the
task sequence. The build then completes successfully with no further issue. I just cannot seem to automate the driver install. Has anyone dealt with this type of issue?

Vik and stealthfield - thank you for your responses.
I was preparing a script to manually move the driver into the c:\windows\inf location when I had to stop to create a new task sequence for a different build. It was while building this task sequence that I found the soulution to the problem.
In the Post Install -> Inject Drivers step of the Task Sequence, I noticed that it was executing a command of type "Inject Drivers" with a selection profile of "All Drivers" and "Install only matching drivers
from the selection profile" selected.
I changed this to run a command of type "Run Command Line" and specified that it execute "%Scriptroot%\ZTIdrivers.wsf". I noticed that this was selected in one of my other builds that was working properly, so I thought I'd
give it a try. - IT WORKED.
So to sum up, the solution was to change the type of command being executed in the "Post Install -> Inject Drivers" step of the task sequence. After this change, the machine came up and continued the task sequence with no further issues.
Thanks again for the responses - They were helpful and I do appreciate it.

UCS Blade Server HBA Support

I have started to look at the UCS blade server range this morning as we may need to work with this kit in an upcoming project.
From what I can see, HBA support is quite limited. I have an application that requires a Dialogic ISDN30 card in one of my servers but it looks like I won't be able to use this in a UCS blade server - am I correct in that assumption ?
TIA.

There are 3 mezzanine cards supported in UCS B series blades:
Cisco UCS M81KR Virtual Interface Card - Cisco developed HBA/NIC that was purpose build for virtualization. Can present anywhere from 1 to 54 vHBAs/vNICs to phyiscal server.

Recommended UCS blade for Unity?

The Design Guide for Unity virtualization outlines the templates for Unity on VM but it doesn't mention UCS blade recommendations.
I'm looking to migrate Unity 7.0(2) to UCS/VM and then upgrade to 8.0(3). The MCS servers aren't worth upgrading memory for the software upgrade, and particularly when we have UCS blades available.
Is there a recommended blade for Unity?
Thanks,
Mike

Import Data over network link in oracle 11g

We want to take export of the OND schema in production database and
import it to the OND schema in UAT database over a network
link by using data pump,in Oracle 11g.Kindly share the steps.

Scenario:
Directly importing the TEST01 schema in the production database (oraodrmu) to test database oraodrmt, over
a network by using database link and data pump in Oracle 11g.
Note: When you perform an import over a database link, the import source is a database, not a dump file set, and the data is imported to the connected database instance.
Because the link can identify a remotely networked database, the terms database link and network link are used interchangeably.

Is it possible to use UCS Blade Servers in ACE Load Balancing

Hi all ,
Is it possible to use UCS Blade Servers in ACE Load Balancing ?? Please note that UCS Blade Servers are not connected directly to 6500 Switch where ACE Module installed .i am expecting a good suggestion from whether ACE or Switching Expert
Thanks in advance
Sanjeevi

There is nothing that would prevent you from loadbalancing the applications that run on UCS servers. ACE can loadbalance applications that are directly L2 attached (bridged or routed mode) or even servers that are multiple hops L3 hops away using one-armed mode with source nat. The key to this is that the return traffic from the server needs to make it back to the ACE.

Nokia Maps/ N95: Support for network links?

Hello,
I have a GPS tracker device I would like to monitor in Nokia N95's maps. On PC I am using Google Maps with a network link, to see it's position in real time.
Does Nokia Maps support network links like in Google Earth?
Feel free to try - here's a sample URL from TrackingTheWorld:
http://trackingtheworld.com.r.seekdotnet.com/images/260156.kml
It should look something like this:
http://trackingtheworld.com.r.seekdotnet.com/Gmap.aspx?name=260156
Bjørn Tore

The beta has been out for your phone for a while now and licenses from previous versions do work with the beta.
You need to ask about availability of the final product on the maps 3 beta forum. You will most likely will not get an official answer here.

UCS-Blade do not boot from disk local

Hi everyone,
I have a UCS-Blade and UCSM with version 2.1 (1e), I create the boot policy to boot from the disk local and raid 1.
The trouble is that when the Blade server boot show me the screen in SHELL, in other words the server startup on mode UEFI, I need enter the word "EXIT" to enter the "ESXi", the version of the ESXi is 5.1.0.
attach the image
everyone have any suggestions
thk for help me!!!

Josue,
I would like to know what server model you are using and if the ESXi version you installed is the customized Cisco ESXi version?
I bet this is a new installation... It looks like the server does not see an image to boot from, even though it looks like the boot policy actually points to the local disks, but I have also seen how weird things happen when the non-Customized ESXi .iso image is used.
Try to use the customized version found here ;
https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=CISCO-ESXI-5.1.0-GA-25SEP2012&productId=285
And check compatibility with one of my favorite tools:

I hope this helps you, if it did, rate it!

San Boot Win2K8 R2 SP1 x64 on UCS blades B with M81KR installation issue

I am trying to install a storage San Boot Win2K8 R2 SP1 x64 on UCS blades,(There are only 1 path to the OS installation drive during the installation.)
I loaded drivers for the M81K2 following the "UCS Windows Install Guide" , and I can see the LUN I mapped from XIV. I was able to create and format partitions, make it online, but when
I try to install, windows gives the error:"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu."
any one know this issue?
Thanks

My UCS manager firmware and Adapter is 1.3.1p,
the boot policy has been set to Boot to SAN,
I checked "Hardware and Software Interoperability Matrix for UCS System Release 1.3.1"
It seems the 1.3.1 only can support the "windows 2008 r2 x64 w/Hyper-v",
so, I updated the UCS manager Bios and the adpter firmware to 2.0, but the I/O module still is 1.3.1p
I can install the "windows 2008 r2 x64" successfuly...
Now, my concern is I have a mix component software versions on my ucs blade(I used the UCS manager 1.3.1, IO module 1.3.1, the UCS Bois 2.0.1 and the adapter 2.0.1)
will the mix component software versions cause some other issues? Dose anyone can give me some suggestion?
Thanks a lot

Expdp network link

Hi,
1,Can we use network link in expdp from 11g (destination)to 10g ( traget) for data migration?
2,Can we do like copy the user password from 10g and apply to 11g?
The below one is goet from source(10g).
grant connect,resource to HKHR identified by 'EAA43BC83A9C1BD4';
grant connect,resource to CSHEi dentified by 'C8F09D04F6AD4B05';
If we execute the above one at 11g,can we get the same password in 11g as 10g?
Is it possible?Because we have nearly 500 users in the database.
Any other method.
Thanks & Regards,
VN
Edited by: user3266490 on Feb 21, 2012 8:27 PM

Yes this all should work just fine. If you want the schemas moved over, just make sure that you use a privileged account. If you are having each person move their own schemas and the the schemas are not prived, then the user account with passwords are not moved over.
If you are using full=y the the schema running the datapump job needs to be prived anyway, so no issue. If you are moving multiple schemas, then the same applies. The schema running a multi schema job needs to be prived, so no issue.
The passwords will be copied over when the schema is created.
Again, this should all work fine.

Cisco UCS Blade Deployment Without N5K or N7K ?

Dear all,
Is it possbile to deploy cisco UCS blade solution with only Blade Chassis, FI, FEX/IOM and using third party SAN and LAN switch ?
Thanks

Yes of course !
There are many installations with e.g. Brocade FC switches
The only caveat I see: are your uplink ethernet switches 1G or 10G; technically either one will work, however, with 1 G Northbound connectivity, some data flows are limited in bandwidth. see below

Where do the UCS blades get their system time from?

Hello,
I'm curious how the system clock gets set on UCS blades?
I have NTP setup in UCSM and expected the blades to set their time based on that during first boot at the very least.
I recently associated a new service profile to a blade and installed ESXi5. The VMware 60 grace license period showed the correct expiry date (04/07/2012) but as soon as I would connect with the vSphere client it would say grace period ended. After digging a bit the blade had a date set for someday in 2010? Anyone know why this would be the case and how I can set the blade system clock?
-Brian

Found a bug to track this issue CSCtj19497. There's no commit date yet, but I'm going to get some pressure put on this one.
I encourage you to open a quick TAC case and simply request to have this bug attached to your SR. This will give more ammunition to get this resolved faster.

Table refresh Using Network Link

Hi All,
I am using 11g 11.1.0.6 database and I am usning network link to refresh few tables. The requirement is something like , on production , we have META schema

we are also using one job , which is doing the same thing , but here the only difference is , we don't have meta_qa schema on prod database.

DBMS_DATAPUMP - "Push" over network link???

I am aware that you can pull, say, a schema refresh over a database link, such as:
DB1 <- DB2
... and you're executing DBMS_DATAPUMP like:
in DB1 - OPEN, METADATA_FILTER, METADATA_REMAP, START_JOB
(network link to DB2)
I will refer to this as a "pull;" DB1 is refreshing a schema FROM DB2.
However, we are going through an isolation process where one environment (DB2) can talk to another (DB1), but only in one direction (DB1 cannot talk to DB2). The refresh of a schema will need to be PUSHED from DB2 to DB1, instead of pulled.
Is there a way this can be done simply with DBMS_DATAPUMP? It seems that one can only accomplish this by means of a "pull", and there is no option to "push" between 2 databases.
Thanks.

Hi,
Nothing in Data Pump will allow you to 'push' over a network link. I think the only way I can think of to get your information over would be to do a dumpfile export and then push the dumpfile over with an operating system copy "ftp" type of command.
