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

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

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)?

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,
Michael

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.

No export command in Nexus 1010

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 and DCNM

All,
According to the Cisco Press release a couple of weeks ago:
"The Nexus 1010 provides an NX-OS based appliance platform for hosting virtual services. This platform now supports two additional services: the Cisco Virtual Security Gateway which provides VM-level segmentation in a multi-tenant virtualized data center, and the Cisco Data Center Network Management Center."
Does anyone know when the DCNM is going to be available for use in the 1010? I can't seem to find any documentation or software on the subject.
Thanks,
Ken

Hi,
DCNM 5.1(1) and above releases support Nexus 1010.

Link Between Service Notification and Sales Order

Hi All,
In our business process, we will create sales order from Service Notification and we can see the same in the Document flow. But when i check in the VBFA table, there are no entries. I would like to know how the document flow is updated without updating the VBFA Table or is there any other table gets updated for this flow.
Please guide me.
With Regards
Vinu.N

Hello Vinu
For one Sales Order # figures in Notification header table- VIQMEL-VBELN.
Similarly Notification # figures in Sales Order Header table- VBAK-QMNUM
That is a solid link right there.
I Also guess technical objects like Equipment, Serial number also form link between the Sales and Service Documents.
Also check out the logic in document flow program RIBELF20, may be it will give you the clues to the problem.
Hope this helps.

Posting to SCL4 -- Link an service call and an invoice --

Is there any way to post to SCL4 sooner to create the link between a service order and an expense document.
Currently the link is created after one leaves the service module. That is too late to be functional.
Therefore you cannot grab the service id of the current service order and assign it to the marketing document created while in the service module.
SCL4 creates a strong link between the serivce order and the expense document, it is just too late.
The link is made on exit of the service call.
It would be great if the link was created when the user "Adds" the expense document (sales order or invoice) to B1 while in the service module.
Thanks, David

Yes the field is there SCL4 but the problem is timing. It is posted too late to be meaningful.
While in an invoice, I need to capture the service call ID so that I can assign the service call id to a field in the invoice, and also
import the remarks from the service call to the remarks on the invoice.
The way B1 words is that SCL4 gets populated way too late in the game. The SCL4 table gets populated only after Updating the service call itself. This is after the user has created and exited the invoice.
Any other suggestions for dynamically capturnig the invoice id during invoice creation under a service call?
Thanks, David

Link between Service Call and Marketing documents not working

Hello all,
I found a field in Marketing Documents - Rows data - that should be the link between a Service Call and the Marketing Documents.
The field is for example "INV1.isSrvCall" but, even if I create an Invoice from the Service Call, the field will be populated with the value "N".
Dows anyone knows how to make this field work? Or any workarround to make the connection between a Service Call and the generated documents?
Thanks in advance,
Kind Regards

The problem with SCL4 is that SAP updates it way too late in the process to be meaningful while in the module. You create a service order, then go into the expense document. That is when we need to know the service call id and the internalsn of the equipment being worked on Only when you get out of the service module do SAP post to SCL4.
The data (before writing to SCL$) exists as a veriable on the original service form. But can we access it from the expense document?
The question is how to access the data (service id) on the original service form from an expense document within the servide module. It is the service form, and that is currently not in focus, so I do not know if you can access it as a varaible, while in the expense document (sales order or invoice) that is in focus.
Can any one help with this/
David

Nexus 1010 and Management

it is the first time that i install and configure a Nexus 1010.
After unpackaging, i have upgrade the BIOS, CMC and Firmware of the nexus 1010 (like a classical C-serie server)
The CIMC 's @IP is 10.10.0.100 ; I have connected the 10/100 Ethernet CIMC management port to my OOB network where we have all OOB interfaces from Nx7k and Nx5k.
Now i would want configure the Nx1010 in the topology "uplink type 3".
port 1 and 2 : mangement Vlan
port 3 to 6 : Control/packt Vlan and Data Vlan.
In the setup wizard, we have to configure the int Mgmt0 of Nx 1010.
In which network must be the Mgmt0 ; i am confused and mix up :
- CIMC mgmt from the C-series server
- mgmt0 int from nexus 1010 : by which physical interface goes throught this traffic : via "10/100 Ethernet CIMC management port" or via "Management vlan" ???
- Vlan management : this Vlan will allow to manager the VSB VSM-1 et VSM-2....
The Vlan management must not be the OOB network, must it ?
It is not clear for my mind ; i mix up all this mgmt
please help me !!!
many thank in advance.
NB : All the devices in our DC (Nx5k and Nx5K/Nx2K) have two management interface :
1 - OOB management via the pysical OOB port
2 - Inb management via a dedicated Vlan ; each device have 1 @IP in this Vlan (even the L2 Nx7k (without M1 card) via the cli "management")
How could i have the these mgmt for Nexus 1010 / CIMC / VSM ???
Last question : in order to upgrade the nx 1010, then download the nexus-1000v*.iso to bootflash:repository, which network/mgmt i have to used ???

Hi Delahais, could you resolve your concern? .. I have the same doubt

How to change Nexus 1010 and Nexus 1000v IP address

Hi Experts,
We had run two VSM and one NAM in the Nexus 1010. The Nexus 1010 version is 4.2.1.SP1.4. And the Nexus 1000v version is 4.0.4.SV1.3c. Now we must to change management IP address to the other one. Where can I find the SOP or config sample? And have anything I must to remind?

If it's only the mgmt0 IP address that you are changing, then you can just enter the new address under the mgmt0 interface. It will automatically sync with the VC.
I guess you are trying to change the IP address of the VC plus the management VLAN as well. One way of doing this is:
- From the Nexus 1000v, disconnect the connection to the VC (svs connection -> no connect)
- Change the VC IP address and connect to it (svs connection -> remote ip address)
- Change the Nexus 1000v mgmt0 address
- Change the mgmt VLAN on the N1010
- Change the mgmt address of the N1010
- Reconnect the Nexus 1000v back to the VC (svs connection -> connect)
Correspondingly, change the VLAN configuration on the upstream switch plus the connection to the VC as well.
Thanks,
Shankar

How to link Sales Order with Service Contract and then with Install Base?

Hi Friends,
1) I would like to know the integeration process from sales order to Service Contract and then with Install Base.
2) I couldn't see anything enabled in Service Tab in Order Lines, its grayed out. Is there any set up/profile option to get it enabled?
3) How can we create AR invoice from Service Contract?
Please let me know if anyone has idea on this.
Thanks in Adavance,
Vara

Dear Sid,
Thanks for your promt response.
Let me explain you what I did.
1) I have booked a Bill Only sales order which has one order line, mentioned it as Service Item and provided the same details in Service Tab in Order lines. Now Line status is "Fulfilled"
2) Then Submitted Workflow Back Ground Process for OM Order Lines and it has created an AR Invoice and closed the line
3) And then submitted "Service Contracts Order Capture Integration Program" from SErvice Contracts Responsibility and it completed normal.
4) Now I went in to Launch Contracts Window and queried with the sales order but couldn't see any contract created
5) Then I went in to Reprocess Order Window and found this order shows an error message as "Referenced Product not present in the Installed Base", then I tried to reprocessed it, but the same error message again.
Here I have few doubts:
1) Are the AR invoice and Service Contract Billing Invoices same?
2) In above scenario AR Invoice has been created, I would like to do the billing from SErvice Contracts and need to create an Invoice in AR? how can I do that?
because as you explained in one of my questions earlier, A Single Invoice can be created for the whole duration of the contract. I want to do that and trying for the same.
3) Regarding the above error message, how can I resolve it and create the service contract against that Order?
Thank you so much for your helpful answers.
Regards,
Vara
