Service Template and iSCSI Boot Parameters

Hello,
I use updating service templates to ensure all service profiles are the same and it works great. We have recently setup a Nimble storage array and for iSCSI boot you have to put the target of of the boot LUN in the iSCSI boot parameters. However as each profile will have to boot from a different volume. This causes an issue as I cant change a service profile that is bound to a service template and i need the profiles to have differnt boot volumes.
Am I missing something here.
Thanks

The service profile requires two different IQNs one for the initiator/server and one for the target/storage_array. What I’m saying is that each initiator needs to have a different IQN but all of them can use the same target IQN to communicate to the storage.
If you are using an updating template to update all of the service profiles, any change you make there will be propagated to all of the service profiles that were created from this template, which means that you can only make changes to the template and not directly to the service profiles unless you unbind them from this template. 
The main thing you need to understand is that if you use the same target IQN it doesn’t mean that all of your server are going to try to boot to the same LUN as long as you group their IQN (initiator) to a dedicated LUN on the storage array.
Let me kwow what you think

  • Windows 7 answer file deployment and iscsi boot

    Hi, I am trying to prepare an image with windows7 Ent that has been installed, went through "audit" and then shutdown with:
    OOBE+Generalize+Shutdown
    So that I can clone this image and the next time it boots, it will use answer file to customize, join domain etc.
    The complication to this - is that I am using iscsi boot for my image, and working within Vmware ESX.
    I can install Windows without any issues, get the drivers properly working, reboot and OOBE on the same machine - no issues.
    The problems come when I clone the VM and the only part that changes (that I think really matters) is the mac address of the network card. The new clone when it comes up after the OOBE reboot hangs for about 10min and then proceeds without joining to domain.
    Using Panter logs and network traces - I saw that the domain join command was timing out and in fact no traffic was being sent to the DC. So the network was not up. The rest of the answer file customization works fine.
    As a test I brought up this new clone (with new mac) in Audit mode - and Windows reported that it found and installed drivers for new device - VMXNET3 Driver 2. So in fact it does consider this a new device.
    Even though it iscsi boots from this new network card - later in process its unable to use it until driver is reinstalled.
    In my answer file I tried with and without below portion but it didnt help:
    <settings pass="generalize">
            <component>
                <DoNotCleanUpNonPresentDevices>true</DoNotCleanUpNonPresentDevices>
                <PersistAllDeviceInstalls>true</PersistAllDeviceInstalls>
            </component>
        </settings>
    I also tried with E1000 NIC, but couldnt get windows to boot properly after the cdrom installation part.
    So my question - is my only option to use workarounds like post OOBE scripts for join etc? 
    Is it possible to let Windows boot and then initiate an extra reboot once the driver was installed and then allow it to go to Customize phase?
    thank you!

    Hi,
    This might be caused by the iscsi boot.
    iSCSI Boot is supported only on Windows Server. Client versions of Windows, such as Windows Vista® or Windows 7, are not supported.

  • Data template and procedure output parameters

    Hi all,

  • Ask the Expert: Cisco UCS Troubleshooting Boot from SAN with FC and iSCSI

    Welcome to this Cisco Support Community Ask the Expert conversation. This is an opportunity to learn and ask questions about Cisco UCS Troubleshooting Boot from SAN with FC and iSCSI with Vishal Mehta and Manuel Velasco.
    The current industry trend is to use SAN (FC/FCoE/iSCSI) for booting operating systems instead of using local storage.
    Boot from SAN offers many benefits, including:
    Server without local storage can run cooler and use the extra space for other components.
    Redeployment of servers caused by hardware failures becomes easier with boot from SAN servers.
    SAN storage allows the administrator to use storage more efficiently.
    Boot from SAN offers reliability because the user can access the boot disk through multiple paths, which protects the disk from being a single point of failure.
    Cisco UCS takes away much of the complexity with its service profiles and associated boot policies to make boot from SAN deployment an easy task.
    Vishal Mehta is a customer support engineer for Cisco’s Data Center Server Virtualization TAC team based in San Jose, California. He has been working in the TAC for the past three years with a primary focus on data center technologies such as Cisco Nexus 5000, Cisco UCS, Cisco Nexus 1000v, and virtualization. He has presented at Cisco Live in Orlando 2013 and will present at Cisco Live Milan 2014 (BRKCOM-3003, BRKDCT-3444, and LABDCT-2333).

    Hello Evan
    Thank you for asking this question. Most common TAC cases that we have seen on Boot-from-SAN failures are due to misconfiguration.
    So our methodology is to verify configuration and troubleshoot from server to storage switches to storage array.
    Before diving into troubleshooting, make sure there is clear understanding of this topology. This is very vital with any troubleshooting scenario. Know what devices you have and how they are connected, how many paths are connected, Switch/NPV mode and so on.
    Always try to troubleshoot one path at a time and verify that the setup is in complaint with the SW/HW interop matrix tested by Cisco.
    Step 1: Check at server
    a. make sure to have uniform firmware version across all components of UCS
    b. Verify if VSAN is created and FC uplinks are configured correctly. VSANs/FCoE-vlan should be unique per fabric
    c. Verify at service profile level for configuration of vHBAs - vHBA per Fabric should have unique VSAN number
    Note down the WWPN of your vhba. This will be needed in step 2 for zoning on the SAN switch and step 3 for LUN masking on the storage array.
    d. verify if Boot Policy of the service profile is configured to Boot From SAN - the Boot Order and its parameters such as Lun ID and WWN are extremely important
    e. finally at UCS CLI - verify the flogi of vHBAs (for NPV mode, command is (from nxos) – show npv flogi-table)
    Step 2: Check at Storage Switch
    a. Verify the mode (by default UCS is in FC end-host mode, so storage switch has to be in NPIV mode; unless UCS is in FC Switch mode)
    b. Verify the switch port connecting to UCS is UP as an F-Port and is configured for correct VSAN
    c. Check if both the initiator (Server) and the target (Storage) are logged into the fabric switch (command for MDS/N5k - show flogi database vsan X)
    d. Once confirmed that initiator and target devices are logged into the fabric, query the name server to see if they have registered themselves correctly. (command - show fcns database vsan X)
    e. Most important configuration to check on Storage Switch is the zoning
    Zoning is basically access control for our initiator to  targets. Most common design is to configure one zone per initiator and target.
    Zoning will require you to configure a zone, put that zone into your current zonset, then ACTIVATE it. (command - show zoneset active vsan X)
    Step 3: Check at Storage Array
    When the Storage array logs into the SAN fabric, it queries the name server to see which devices it can communicate.
    LUN masking is crucial step on Storage Array which gives particular host (server) access to specific LUN
    Assuming that both the storage and initiator have FLOGI’d into the fabric and the zoning is correct (as per Step 1 & 2)
    Following needs to be verified at Storage Array level
    a. Are the wwpn of the initiators (vhba of the hosts) visible on the storage array?
    b. If above is yes then Is LUN Masking applied?
    c. What LUN number is presented to the host - this is the number that we see in Lun ID on the 'Boot Order' of Step 1
    Below document has details and troubleshooting outputs:

  • ITS Upgrade 6.10 to 6.20 : Changes in services/templates/developments

    Hello,
    I have to estimate the effort to upgrade from the ITS 6.1 to 6.2 at developer's side. I heard that some changes must be done in services and templates (f.g. ressource files limited to 255 char/line; etc).
    I have some questions:
    - appart ressource files, do we have to change the html and other ITS files?
    - can we keep the ABAP back-end as-it?
    - Are some other changes to be done? (appart the upgrade itself)?
    Thanks for your answers!

    Hello Christophe,
    Did you really mean from ITS 6.10 to ITS 6.20?  These are both standalone ITS versions that need a web server.  In a lot of ways they are very similar and the upgrade process is pretty much just installing the ITS 6.20 and then copying over your custom (services, templates, and mime) files.  Do not modify just copy over the standard files (webgui, system, and global.srvc) and you should be fine. 
    One of the big differences is that we moved from configuration in the registry to xml files...though now that I think about it, I can't even remember if that was with 6.10 to 6.20 or from even earlier!

  • Cisco Prime Collaboration provisioning 10.5 service Template assignment

    Ok
    I have created my domain, added user roles and service areas. I created a service template and applied it to the user role.
    I then created a batch file that with the subscriber type field and ran it but none of the attributes in the services template is seen on the line of the phone.
    I tried enabling auto-provision but same result. The work around I have done is to bulk edit the phone in cucm.
    I have attached a copy of the batch file. The file added a phone service and assigns a chosen line

  • Word template with web service - style and font not considered

    Hi experts.
    I'm using a word template with a web services.
    So i've added my xml tags in the template and i've tried to change the font and style but when i launch the document, what i have defined is never considered. For example if i set in a table that a line should be in Italic, when i edit the document no text is in italic ?
    Did you ever faced this kind of issue ?
    How did you manage to set you style to the xml tags ?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I also had similar problems but I didn't work on word template for quite a long time. But at that time I solved the problem with formating the word and not the xml tag directly.
    For example: I wrote the word lastname and formated it to for exampe, bold and italic like lastname. After thet I selected the word and applied the xml tag to that word and this worked just fine.
    Regards.

  • Service profiles and templates

    I was wondering what people are doing when creating service profiles for esxi. Are you creating a single service profile for each esxi server you deploy or are you using a template and then creating service profiles from that template?
    Also what is the difference if using an initial template vs an updating template?

    Hi Tony,
    You need a service profile for each esxi server, template only provides a blue print.
    As a best practise you can deploy service profiles from a template to maintain uniformity and consistency and reduce any errors while creating the sp.
    Initial template is static and updating is dynamic I.e any change made to the updating template will also be updated on the sp deployed using that template which will not happen with the initial.
    Hope this helps!

  • Why can't I assign hardware and guest os profiles to servers in the new SCVMM 2012 Service Templates?

    Trying to learn SCVMM 2012, but I'm confused about how Guest OS and Hardware Profiles work with the new 2012 Service Templates.
    I create a Hardware Profile and a Guest OS Profile. Then I open the Create VM Template wizard. In this wizard I can assign the Hardware and Guest OS profiles I created under the Configure Hardware and Configure Operating System steps in the wizard.
    If I open the new Service Template wizard, select a Single Tier Server (for example), open the Service Template Designer and go to the properties of the server I find under Hardware Configuration and OS Configuration I cannot assign my Hardware and Guest OS
    profiles to the server.
    Why is this? It seems like extra work to have not be able to assign these profiles to servers in a service template. Is there something fundamental I'm missing here?

    I have the same issues with the equipment I maintain. Two things are consistent that I see between this forum and my set up. I had 10.5 on all our Macs and each of them could connect with out issue to the shares on a windows xp machine. I have three Mac computers I am working with. 1. My main computer a MacBook Pro 2.4ghz core 2 duo, an Intel iMac, and an older Mac Pro G5 running OS 10.5 server.
    I have another server running kiosk or signage displays that is a windows xp machine. All of my macs could access the windows xp machine by clicking on it and authenticating to it and then the shares will show up.
    I upgraded my MacBook Pro first to 10.6 and have been unable to connect to the windows shares ever since. Keep getting Authenticatoin failure. So my work around is to transfer files to the 10.5 macs and then screen share one of them and access the windows share from them. Spoke with Apple support and they could not help and said it was a know issue but did not have a solution.
    Last week I upgraded the iMac to 10.6 and it too, now will not authenticate to the windows shares.
    Here are the strange things... I can take my macbook pro home and access all windows shares on my home networked computers. I even took the windows xp machine home from work to test it and I was able to connect to the shares without issue from my Macbook pro.
    Two things stand out ... you mentioned a Cisco router and we use a Cisco router at work. Also, both of us have upgraded to 10.6 and authentication fails at that time.
    Problem is between OS 10.6 and the Cisco routers I believe. I am not sure how to fix the issue though.

  • Service Template: Automatic Machine Rebooting and Script Restarting via Exit Code in Script Application

    Hello,
    My question is on Script Applications in
    Service Templates:
    In VM Templates, in the Application Configuration tab, one can add a Script Application. This can be a PowerShell script, a batch script, etc.
    For each Script Application, it is possible (via the Advanced options) to make the
    machine reboot when the script exits with one of three
    exit codes: 1641, 3010 and 3011.
    Problem:
    For PowerShell or PS scripts, if I use ‘exit 3010’, the machine should reboot but it doesn’t…
    Bad workaround:
    Use a batch script which calls the PS script. Then, exit out of the batch script using ‘exit $LASTEXITCODE’. This works. The machine reboots.
    I can’t use the workaround. Is there a way to do this using just the PS script?
    -Rohan.

    In fact yes.
    You actually want SCVMM to orchestrate the reboot by sending the proper exit code.  Otherwise SCVMM gets all weird about things.
    It is in the advanced settings for the script and / or command.
    You need to make sure that your script tosses the 3011 or 3010 on exit.
    I do it with the 3011:
    # Exit 3011
    [Environment]::Exit(“3011”)
    In the XML you will find this:
    <vmmst:RebootExitCodeRegex>{1641}|{3010}|{3011}</vmmst:RebootExitCodeRegex>
    But you do not want to enable restarting the script on each reboot or you will find yourself in a loop.

  • Excited about iSCSI Boot in 2.0?

    Having been booting from SAN and not always loving it, wondering how others feel about iSCSI boot in 2.0? To me this is a game changer. WAY EASIER.
    Is anyone doing it? Feedback?
    Craig

    I've set it up for one customer and found it much harder to get working than FC boot, although it has worked perfectly since it was set up and now I know how to set it up would find it easier in future. The official documentation on getting it up and running is poor, although there is a very useful document posted in the documents section of the forum that does help. There is also a good guide in the partner website.
    One major limitation is that you cannot use iSCSI boot when your service profiles are bound to a template as the iqn initiator value is not pooled. I will not be considering iSCSI boot for upcoming designs until this is resolved, although a change is planned I hear.
    vSphere 5 is also not currently supported with iSCSI boot.
    FInally there is a known issue listed in the release notes saying that the secondary iSCSI vnic cannot be used. Possibly a single point of failure concern.
    So all in all, iSCSI boot is a welcome enhancement for me but still needs a bit of work to make it reay for prime time.

  • Link template and database

    You can use the templates for Oracle Enterprise Linux.
    According to Readme:
    "The oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall package is installed in the templates
    before the Oracle Linux 6 Update 4 templates. This package installs software
    packages and sets system parameters that are required for Oracle single instance
    and Real Application Cluster install for Oracle Linux Release 6.
    This package creates the 'oracle' user, with an initial login group of 'oinstall',
    a supplementary group of 'dba', and a home directory of /home/oracle. The
    Oracle-validated package disables logins by the user 'oracle', and the password is
    locked for the 'oracle' user by default. To enable the 'oracle' user account, log in
    as the 'root' user to the guest virtual machine after it is booted."
    If you choose to use OEL 6 Update 4 you can install the package using the package manager.

  • Canberra + XFCE - issues with canberra-gtk-play and canberra-boot

    Hi,
    I know it's not exactly essential to a functioning system, but still it's an issue with libcancerra:
    There are the services for system bootup, shutdown and restart which I enabled by 'sudo systemctl enable canberra-system-bootup.service'. A status query shows that 'canberra-boot' is enabled, ran on boot and exited with success but there is never any sound being played. Manually invoking canberra-boot (with all possible event ids and without any parameters) never plays anything nor does it show any output whatsoever. I wonder what is wrong here. I tried it on another Arch-based system and it worked fine.
    Freedesktop sound theme files are in place as needed and all dependencies seem to be satisfied. 'canberra-gtk-play' works as expected although the XFCE autostarter which I've created (canberra-gtk-play --id="desktop-login") sometimes successfully plays the sound and sometimes it just doesn't. Maybe something with XFCE's volume daemon?
    I've already reinstalled libcanberra and disabled and reenabled the bootup service several times.
    If there's anyone who has experienced similar issues and has an idea how to solve it, please shoot
    Greetings

    Not to be too rude, but you're using Ubuntu-patched apps on a Debian system... Wouldn't the Debian forums be a far better place to ask this?

  • OEM12c Self-Service App and OVM3

    Good afternoon,
    Currently I have an OVM3 cluster up and running, managed by an OEM12c instance. It's possible to manage VMs, deploy templates, delete, shut down, power up, et al. I've been trying to get the self-service application to work in order to deploy templates and ran into a few difficulties. Here's a process profile:
    - With 'create like', cloned self-service app role from built-in SSA-User role
    - Created user, associated user with cloned SSA-User role only
    - Propagated basic OEL5u5x64 template downloaded from Oracle into OEM software library, keeping the template as a .tgz file
    - Assigned quotas in setup/cloud/infrastructure for the role
    - After 15 minutes or so, the requested VM shows up in Enterprise/Infrastructure Cloud under 'targets under creation'
    - There is no sign of data import or new directories under OVS/VirtualDisks directory on OVS servers
    Under OEM/Jobs, the following:
    Step: Update Request To Executing     Succeeded     
    Step: Check Privilege               Succeeded     
    Step: Evaluate Parameters          Succeeded     
    Step: Check Feasibility               Succeeded
    Step: Check Import Status          Succeeded
    Step: Import Component               ...
    'Import Component" runs for about an hour and then fails with:     
    Initiating import of software library entity identified by: oracle:defaultService:em:provisioning:1:cmp:Virtualization:Template:B20427B903624B11E04010AC77101520:0.1 on 3110-lab
    Number of SRs in the target : 1
    Selecting the repository OpenFiler-250G with uuid 0004fb000003000030ccb045ec8d6503 as target for import.
    Successfully submitted job for import: Import_2011-11-28_11-16-22-329_0
    Timed out while waiting for import to succeeed. The job will be aborted.
    I'm not sure which logs I should be scouring for this item, but I've tried it multiple times with the same "timeout" results.
    Any assistance or help would be immensely appreciated.

    Many thanks for the input, guys.
    The solution was in adding a password to the software library user, under Infrastructure Cloud, Setup, Software Library User Config. It was blank. Added in a pwd, re-sync'ed the OVM server and we're good to go. I missed that memo for the configuration for OEM12c, it appears.
    Thanks again.
