Nexus 1010 HA Error

              Hi,
While I bring Up Secondary Nexus 1010 I am getting this error on primary
Error in getting supervisor and internal state of other supervisor.
sh redundancy status
Redundancy role
      administrative:   primary
         operational:   primary

Error in getting supervisor and internal state of other supervisor.
On the redundant (standy ) unit I am getting this message
%SYSLOG-2-SYSTEM_MSG: Did not receive supstate notification in 180 seconds. Still waiting
What could be possible reason ? can this be a firmware mismatch ? Both are having same configuration for management control and packet vlan. Both are on same L2 network. If I disconnect the standby unit management cable, it will boot. But if management cable is connected, it will be stuck in the above phase.

Prasad,
This means that there is some sort of a communication issue between the two Nexus 1010 switches in the control VLAN. You should probably check the upstream configuration on the ports that connect to the 1010 links carrying the control traffic and also the links involved in the control path.
Thanks,
Shankar

Hi Sabih,
For a Nexus 1010 pair to form HA redundancy, the communicate with each other via the Control VLAN. You would have specified this during your installation.
Can you verify that they are both utilizing the same Control VLAN.
n1010# show svs domain
Furthermore, ensure that this vlan is defined and forwarding, on the relevant ports, on the upstream 6509s.
Thanks,

Nexus 1010 - Issue copying s/w onto device using SCP.

Hi
I'm trying to copy the new version of s/w ( nexus-1000v.4.2.1.SV1.4.iso) onto a Nexus 1010 switch using the command:
copy scp: bootflash:repository
The software starts to copy but unfortunately only gets to around 10% complete before failing. It's almost like it's getting stuck for some reason?
The file is quite large (163Mb), however, there is plenty of space on the disk (see below) so I cannot understand while this is happening.

Nexus 1010 HA

Hello
I have a problem with Nexus 1010 HA.
I have two Nexus 1010. One is configured as Primary and the other as Secondary.
I have a VSB (VSM type) created on both, enabled as Primary and Secondary respectively.
HA between VSMs works fine. But HA between Nexus is not working. Something is missed. Any ideas? Thank you!!!

No export command in Nexus 1010

Hi all,
We want to do a backup of a virtual-service-blade in a Nexus 1010. The document we are following is:

We don't know which can be the problem, wheter it can be a bug in the software, or we are doing something wrong.
Thank you

The export command was a new feature added in the 4.2(1)SP1(3) version of code. Your 1010 is one rev lower.
You'll need to upgrade the code on the 1010 to the latest code to get the export command.
The upgrade is pretty straight forward. Just download the code and follow the upgrade guide.

Nexus 1010 + 1000v control vlan issue

Hi,
I have Nexus 1000v installed on nexus 1010. The nexus 1010 is in cluster and working fine. I have made network uplink option 3.
My VSM is configured to be on L3 mode. Hence I set control and packet vlan to 1 (on vsm). while creating the VSB too I have choosen control and packet vlan to be 1 (keeping in mind my mode will be L3).
Now The vsm is not coming up in HA. The redandancy log says degraded mode is true.
Is it because, the control packet coming from VSM after reaching the N1010, the packets are getting tagged with vlan 1. Since I have not set any native vlan on 1010, might be control vlan 1 is also tagged one. Is it this the case ?
help needed on this issue.
regards
Prasad K

Control vlan is a totally seperate VLAN then your System Console. The VLAN just needs to be available to the ESX host through the upstream physical switch and then make sure the VLAN is passed on the uplink port-profile that you assign the ESX host to.
We only need an interface on the ESX host if you decide to use L3 control. In that instance you would create or use an existing VMK interface on the ESX host.

Nexus 1010 weird HA mechanism

Hello guys,
We are in the middle of the installation of 2 Nexus 1010 appliances.
the two appliances have a failover mechanism where you have only one address for the cluster of appliance. I don't think that it is a good idea because the Vsm on the appliance already has its own HA mechanism. on the contrary, the appliance HA mechanism is confusing because you can only access by telnet the primary appliance. What if your active VSM is running on the secondary appliance? how to access Out of band to this one?
It would make more sense to me if each appliance 1010 would be standalone?
am I missing something here? any ideas on why we use Ha for the Nexus 1010?
Thank you
laurent

First of all. According to the documentation Nexus 1010 is not supported in standalone scenario.
• The HA standalone role is not supported for the Cisco Nexus 1010.
• Cisco Nexus 1010 is not supported in the non HA mode.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus1000/sw/4_2_1_s_p_1_4_a/install_upgrade/guide/n1010_installupgrade_install.html#wp1065391
I see the HA mechanism between N1010 as a way how to manage them. Nothing more, nothing less. N1000V on top of them do have their HA mechanism. I am able to reach standby N1010 VSM either by:
ssh to the LOM port of the standby N1010, then connect host and then login virtual-service-blade or
ssh to the N1010 cluster address and then login virtual-service-blade secondary

Nexus 1010/1000v L3 Mode Through ASA

Hi,
A question regarding the subject line. When deoploying redundant Nexus 1010 hardware appliances (VSM's) on the "inside" and Nexus 1000v's on your ESX hosts in the "DMZ" in Layer 3 mode which is seperated by an ASA, what VLAN's are actually need? Both from the inside and DMZ perspective. Specifically, do you actually need Control and Data/Packet VLAN's configured when using L3 mode. When you configure the SVS domin for L3 Transport you explicitly negate both Control and Data/Packet VLAN's?
Also, when configuring the 1000v in L3 mode is it best practice to have the system vlan the same as your management vlan, and also use the same vlan for the Vmkernal NIC. When setting up the Vmkernal NIC on the ESX host the only option available was to use the management vlan.

Hello Aaron,
The Nexus 1010s only communicate in L2 mode so you'll still need control, management & packet vlans between the two appliances. VSMs deployed in L3 mode collapse the control & packet vlans into the management network. Traffic between the VSM and ESX host will be tunneled over IP. Therefore you need to ensure IP connectivity between the VSM mgmt0 interface and the ESX host management vmk.
Yes, you will want to define the ESX vmk vlan as a system vlan on BOTH the vethernet & ethernet port-profiles.

Nexus 1010 Virtual Services Appliance and VN-Link Hardware

All,
We are deploying the Nexus 1010 Virtual Services Appliance for the purpose of using the Network Analysis Module (NAM). The 1010 hosts the VSM's necessary to deploy the 1000v switch in ESX. We would also like to use VN-Link in hardware whereby we "bypass" the virtual switch and use the 6120's for the switching. What I need to know is can the 1010 still analyze the network traffic using VN-Link hardware? VN-Link hardware doesn't appear to need a VSM so I am thinking the 1010 cannot monitor the traffic since there will be no 1000v to "attach" to. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Regards,
Ken

Ken
The NAM module present in the 1010 is not exclusive for Nexus1000v traffic.
Its there as part of an appliance which happens to be the VSM (1000v) and is configured on its own.
If you look at the Nexus1000v, the VSM (which is the 1010 and holds the NAM in this case) is *not* part of the VM data path.
It is looked up for initial virtual port (veth) instantiation but after that traffic doesn't go through it.
So to send VM data traffic to the NAM module for analysis, some other mechanism (like ERSPAN) is used to route data traffic from VM's to it.
The Nexus 1000v support ERSPAN.
Same logic applies that you have a NAM module somewhere else - the 1000v can send traffic to it via ERSPAN.
Looking at VN-link in hardware - It does have a VSM which is the FI itself.
The veth in this case is on the FI.
If the FI did support ERSPAN (which it doesn't currently) you could use the same NAM module or any other NAM module to send traffic to it.
So its not a limitation of VN-link in hw switching methodology vs 1000v switching, but the fact that the FI doesn't support an "export" mechanism yet.
Hope it help
Thanks

Nexus 1010 boot failed

Hi all,
I tried to boot nexus 1010, but only cimc can login. The serial console did not show any information, and still no response. So I tried to connect keyboard and monitor, both are no response. In addition, the nic port is down too.
Have any idea? Or who to troubleshooting it?

Nexus 1010 can not erase export-import folder

Hi Expert,
After we import the backup vsb. We try to erase the export-import folder. But system show "Device or resource busy". So we can not execute more export or import command. Please reference the below image and help us to fix this issue.
Ps. The Nexus 1010 version is "4.2.1.SP1.4"

Hello Meng,
I was able to recreate this problem in the lab. It appears it only occurs when importing a secondary VSB. A 'system switchover' of the N1010s frees the NFS locks. Not an ideal workaround, but a workaround.
CSCtz44247 has been opened for this problem.

Nexus 1010 no vsb present

Hi
I have a customer with a pair of Nexus 1010s that they have been testing. After lots of rebooting and pulling of cables etc as they test redundancy things have gone pear shaped. Now the VSBs seem to have disappeared.
Show module says VSB not present on the primary and the secondary.
Show running config has a section like this:
virtual-service-blade NAME1-1010
virtual-service-blade-type name VSM-1.0
etc
I dont see anywhere in the config a line like
virtual-service-blade-type new iso-file
Does the above line show up in a show run ?
Also where are the ISO files stored as a show boot doesnt show them, tehre are some bin files but no .iso files.
Thanks
Regards
Pat

Seems like you are bringing up the setup for first time.
Initially when you bring up Nexus1010, there will not be any VSB present. They need to be deployed using
VSB enable cli.
The running confiig that you are looking seems okie. Looks like you just associated a template with VSB.
You need to proceed further deploy VSB. Please refer to docs for the same.
"new" doesnt appear in running config. It translates to "name" which is template name that iso-file contained.
ISO files are present in bootflash:repository/ folder. If they are not there for some reason, you can download latest releases from CCO link for N1k and NAM.

Need quick reply 4.2(1)SP1(5.1) on Nexus 1010?

We have most likely run into CSCtz74514 in 4.2(1)SP1(3) in a HA Nexus 1010 setup and need to upgrade. In the downloads I can find 4.1(1)SP1(5.1) for Nexus 1010. I have read through the release notes for 4.2(1)SP1(5.1). The only VSAs talked about are Nexus 1110-S and 1110-X
Is 4.2(1)SP1(5.1) really supported on a classic Nexus 1010 with 16GB ram or should we go for 4.2(1)SP1(4a)?

Thanks a lot Mathew! Would be nice if someone could update the install and upgrade guides so it's clear 1010 and 1010-X are supported as well as the 1110-S and 1110-X.

Nexus 1010 CIMC interface IP address

Hi,
How Do i Set CIMC IP address for Nexus 1010 with os version version 4.2(1)SP1(4a).
When I reload, There is no F8 option available to set CIMC from Bios. Can I set the same from CLI ?
regards
Prasad

Hi Prasad,
The Nexus 1010 version does not matter here. The procedure is the same for all C-series servers. Please let me know if you're trying to do the following:

Installing DCNM-SAN as a VSB in Nexus 1010

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to install DCNM-SAN as a VSB in Nexus 1010, as I've read on the release notes that since 5.2.x release the distribution is done via a single image and there's an image available right now for 5.2(2)...
But, although I've tried numerous times (together with reading a lot through the two available documents - Installation and licensing guide and Fundamentals), every time I create a new vsb with these images, it becomes a DCNM-LAN install.
I have yet to have any prior experience with DCNM, so I might be missing something.
Any ideas? What am I missing? Am I trying to do something that is not supported? Or, am I just missing a critical point there?
NOTE: This is currently a lab topology, but I have a customer that's very keen on using DCNM-SAN with their MDS switches. And I feel that having this on a the 1010 as a vsb is the best way to do it, if it can be done, with regards to having network staff not deal with servers etc.
Thanks,
Emre

Andrew,
We are a little frustrated with the VSB version of DCNM-SAN, it does not appear possible to manage fabric without advanced licensing for the switches, in the licensing guides for DCNM it lists essentials capability that should include port, switch, and fabric-level configuration. On the windows version we can manage the fabric unlicensed as long as we do it from the server direcly or in previous versions if we are running stand alone. These options do not appear to exist for the VSB version. Is there any plan to include any essentials capability in the VSB/OVF versions of the DCNM-SAN. If this is not planned, the documentation should be changed to state that essentials functions are only available in the Windows version.
