UCS C220 M3S with PCI mezzanine card raid SAS 2008M-8i :((

Hello
May be someone has already spend a little time with this configuration. the main stuff is my ucsc doesn't think he has disk to boot one even if with CIMC I see the opposite.
I configure with server conf utility ucs-cxx-scu-3.1.3b.iso with raid1 and as I have 2 UCS C220M3S I do also with Raid0 on another one. the trick is when I install ESXI 5.1 (VMware-VMvisor-Installer-5.1.0-799733.x86_64.iso) during install the setup od VMware detect the disk and install on it but after reboot always same storie no disk !!!
I don't see where to do something ??? So If someone encountered this problem, my be has already find the trick
The bios is C220M3.1.4b.0 and I have also a PCI Broadcom 5709 1Gbps 4 port NIC on slot 2 on both UCSC
here is the config 2xXeon CPU E5-2650 @2.00Ghz with 64 GB of Ram.
Any idea is welcome
Cheers
CX
and for the one configure with raid1

Managing the UCS C220 M3S with the UCS Manager

I have 2 new Cisco UCS C220 M3S running 2.0(3b) and 2.0(1b) connected to a UCS-FI6248UP 5.2(3)N2(2.23d) via a Intel X520-DA2. I also have both management interfaces up via a 100 meg copper connections. My issue is that I can't see these servers in the UCS Manager the UCS-B was a no brainer but the C's are not discovered, I've looked through both the CIMC and the UCS Manager and I don't see an option to change the management to the UCS Manager. I'm sure that I'm missing something since this is my first experience with the UCS C or UCS as a whole. Thanks

Hi,
Please make sure that the Set up of the UCS C-Series Server Integration with UCSM is correct. Here is the guide when you will be Configuring Single-connect to the IO Module FEXs.
You can also review the link here : Managing Rack-Mount Server.
Let me know if it helps,

Cisco UCS RAID SAS 2008M-8i Mezzanine Card Performance?

I recently purchased a UCS C220 bundle, which includes a Cisco UCS RAID SAS 2008M-8i Mezzanine Card. I'm planning on deploying this as a standalone server running XenServer 6.2 in the near future.
I'm happy with the unit and testing is good, but for one aspect. The disk IO throughput on it seems to be far short of what I expected. I have a desktop PC with an Intel DZ77GA-70K motherboard as a lab spare, and the disk IO I can achieve from that server with the same disks exceeds what the C220 seems to be able to achieve, on a consistent repeatable basis.
The testing I am doing is based around two benchmarks:
1. A 400G file copy between the two machines, over the network back-to-back to note the maximum sustained throughput, and
2. A mix of runs with 'sysbench' to mix of tests of local IO, of sequential and random reads and writes, with the command: "sysbench --test=fileio --file-total-size=150G --file-test-mode=seqrd --init-rng=on --max-time=300 --max-requests=0 run"
For #1, I run a copy to/from an HP MicroServer Gen8, which has 12TB of disk space on it in a Linux RAID0 configuration (4x3TB Seagate drives). If I copy files to or from this HP Server to the Intel DZ77GA-70K I am able to easily saturate the 1G network, achieving a sustained 960MBit/s for an hour or more at a time. If I then take the exact same SATA disks from the DZ77GA-70K, connect these into the UCS box and do the exact same network copy with the exact same OS, I'm only about to get around ~400-500MBit/sec of sustained throughput.
For #2, the test results of which are entirely local to the C220, come in around 105-110 MByte/sec on a sequential read, which drops to around 2 MByte/sec on a random read or write test. No surprise of the enormous drop - because random reads/writes are a pretty tough IO load, but I would expect sequential reading should be much better. I can get consistent sysbench seqrd results from the MicroServer of around 300 MByte/sec, for example.
I can consistently replicate this with Redhat 6.5, as well as Gentoo (running the latest linux kernel) as well as from a Xen 6.2SP1 Hypervisor install on the C220 (tested from the Dom0 domain itself, as well as a Linux guest) all 64 bit. Jumbo frames are enabled end-to-end also, and CPU is not bottlenecking. Latest firmware is installed on all components. The ucs-cxxx-drivers.1.5.4a.iso image states that for the Redhat and Xen systems, that the required drivers are included in the OS, so I don't need to worry about installing them separately. Presumably the Gentoo system has even newer drivers again because it has a very new kernel, but alas the throughputs are the same on all of those systems.
I have tried with SATA as well as a SAS drive, and the test results are also practically the same. All disks in all servers are Seagate 6.0 Gb/s units, and none of the servers are swapping to disk at any stage.
I am happy with network IO - I can completely saturate the 1G ports easily, and I'm convinced that's not a part of the problem here.
What could cause this sort of performance? Storage card logs in CIMC don't indicate anything is wrong and none of the OS's are indicating issues of any sort, but it certainly does seem something isn't right in that I'm getting significantly superior performance from a desktop motherboard and the MicroServer, than an enterprise grade server, when testing with the exact same hard drives.
Questions:
- Is the 2008M-8i card considered a low-end RAID card or should I be getting reasonable throughput from it? I was anticipating performance at least as good as a desktop motherboard, but this doesn't seem to be the case. The RAID card as a component is more expensive than an entire MicroServer or Intel Motherboard so it should run much better, yes?
- What sort of performance should I expect out of this card on a single sequential read or write?
- Can this RAID card run drives just as JBOD's or do all disks have to be initialised in an array (even if just a RAID0 array with 1 disk)? It seems if they are added to the server they do not show up to any OS until they are initialised as part of an array, although I haven't delved into the BIOS settings of the card itself (only from CIMC so far).
- I recall seeing something about best practice of having two virtual drives on these cards, what is the impact in running more, given the card certainly allows more to be created (I currently have 4 while I am testing)
- I noticed on Cacti graphs while rebuilding a RAID1 array that the CPU ran hotter while the array was being rebuilt, and cooled down once the rebuild had completed, which indicates the rebuild was using up CPU on the host hardware. Should this not have been entirely transparent to the system if the RAID activity is offloaded to this card, or is an increase in CPU to be expected?
I'm very keen to find out others experiences of this card, what people have done to get good throughput out of it, or if I should go back to a whitebox server with an Intel board :-)
Thanks,
Reuben

Hello Reuben,
I reached out to colleagues who are more knowledge on this topic and here is their response.
- Is the 2008M-8i card considered a low-end RAID card or should I be getting reasonable throughput from it? I was anticipating performance at least as good as a desktop motherboard, but this doesn't seem to be the case. The RAID card as a component is more expensive than an entire MicroServer or Intel Motherboard so it should run much better, yes? -
2008M-8i card is a entry/value card with an expected performance which is better than a software RAID. This card doesn’t utilise memory in a standard RAID 0/1 configuration.
- What sort of performance should I expect out of this card on a single sequential read or write? - We should expect around 1GB sequential read (refer link http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/solutions/collateral/data-center-virtualization/unified-computing/whitepaper_c11-728200.html)
- Can this RAID card run drives just as JBOD's or do all disks have to be initialised in an array (even if just a RAID0 array with 1 disk)? It seems if they are added to the server they do not show up to any OS until they are initialised as part of an array, although I haven't delved into the BIOS settings of the card itself (only from CIMC so far). -
This card can be used in JBOD mode. To enable JBOD mode you need to use MegaCLI commands. This option is not present as a default configuration.
Please note: Once we enable the JBOD mode – it cannot be reverted back to the default RAID mode setting.
- I recall seeing something about best practice of having two virtual drives on these cards, what is the impact in running more, given the card certainly allows more to be created (I currently have 4 while I am testing) -
This doesn’t apply for this card as it does not have any cache. Can you please point us to the document about best practice of having two virtual drives ?
- I noticed on Cacti graphs while rebuilding a RAID1 array that the CPU ran hotter while the array was being rebuilt, and cooled down once the rebuild had completed, which indicates the rebuild was using up CPU on the host hardware. Should this not have been entirely transparent to the system if the RAID activity is offloaded to this card, or is an increase in CPU to be expected? - Creating/Deleting/Modifying a RAID volume is a CPU independent operation.

C240 M3S can't setup first boot with Cisco UCSC RAID SAS 2008M-8i Mezzanine in BIOS

Hi all,
I have a problem with C240 M3S with boot device.
1. There is a Cisco UCSC RAID SAS 2008M-8i Mezzanine in the C240 M3S
2. I set up the raid5 for four SAS disks with Cisco UCSC RAID SAS 2008M-8i Mezzanine
3. When I install the ESXi 5.5, it can be installed in SAS disks.
4.When I press F2 to setup bios for C240 M3S, I can't find the item for the raid of Cisco UCSC RAID SAS 2008M-8i Mezzanine
5. C240 M3S can't boot from the Cisco UCSC RAID SAS 2008M-8i Mezzanine
6. BIOS have been reloaded for many times, it can't work.
Anybody have any idea for this problem? Thank you!

Sorry,
I can't find the item of local storage.
I never setup the boot order ( default bios can find raid card, I don't know that raid can't be found at this time )
Would you please offer any references, thank you
By the way, I check the install guide for c240 m3
If the RAID controller does not appear in the system boot order even with the option ROMs for those
slots are enabled, the RAID controller option ROM might not have sufficient memory space to
execute. In that case, disable other option ROMs that are not needed for the system configuration to
free up some memory space for the RAID controller option ROM.
this means I want to turn off all option ROMs to get more memory ? However, I turn off all option ROMs, I still can't find the raid.
Thank you very much!!

How to measure frequency with PCI-4474 card

Hi,
I'm trying to measure frequency with PCI-4474 card.
Any sample code available?
Thanks.

Hi,
Thank you for posting the the NI forums. There aren’t any example programs that ship with the DSA drivers. Will you be using this with the Sound and Vibration Toolkit? If so, there are numerous examples that install with this software package. Check out the LabVIEW Example Finder >> Toolkits and Modules >> Sound and Vibration Toolkit.
In addition to this, you could also use the signal processing VIs that ship with LabVIEW. There are also examples that ship with LabVIEW that use these VI in Example Finder >> Analyzing and Processing Signals FFT and Frequency Analysis. There is an entire Signal Processing palette that should contain the functionality that you need.
I hope this helps. Post back if you have further questions.

I have problems with pci-gpib card under windows me, What I need to know what to do in order to fix this problems?

Hi, I have installed a pci-gpib card in my computer, I have a problem with
installation, the message of troubleshooting wizard is as follow:
"One or more missing GPIB interfaces.
There are several reasons why you might encounter this problem:
Reason: Your GPIB interface is incorrectly installed.
Solution: Please verify that your GPIB interface is correctly installed
and rerun the NI-488.2 Troubleshooting Wizard.
Reason: You are using a non-Plug-and-Play interface (e.g., AT-GPIB/TNT,
GPIB-PCII/IIA, GPIB-ENET) and you did not use the Add New Hardware Wizard
to add the interface to your system properly.
Solution: Click th
e Add Hardware button and the Add GPIB Hardware wizard
will guide you through the process of adding GPIB hardware.
Reason: For the GPIB-USB and GPIB-1394, the host controller (USB or 1394)
must be working properly in order to use the GPIB interface.
Solution: Click on the System Details button for details about the USB and
1394 host controllers.
Reason: For the PCMCIA-GPIB and PCMCIA-GPIB+, the PCMCIA host controller
must be working properly in order to use the GPIB interface.
Solution: Use the Windows Device Manager to verify that your PCMCIA host
controller is functioning correctly. Start the control panel by selecting
"Start>>Settings>>Control Panel", open the System icon and select the
Device Manager page. If you select "View devices by type", you can look at
the PCMCIA socket properties to ensure it is correctly enabled."
And on system details the message is the next:
"USB Driver type: USB universal host controller"
"This version of windows does not su
pport IEEE 1394."
I am using Windows Me, so i want to know what i need to do to fix this
problems.
Best regards.

If you have a PCI-GPIB card, you needn't worry about the USB port or whether or not Windows ME supports 1394. All you need in NI-488.2 version 1.70 from National Instruments. Install this driver and then insert your card. Windows should detect the card and find the proper driver.
If this did not happen in the proper sequence, look in the device manager and see if the card was installed as an "other device". If this happens, remove the card in the device manager and have windows redetect it. If this is not a solution, you may consider the ask an engineer page at www.ni.com/ask. Provide as many details as possible.

Section of the data collected with PCI 1422 card connected to a CCD camera looks step-like

I am using the PCI 1422 card with a DALSA CA-D1-0128T camera to acquire and save fluorescence data from a heart stained with a potentiometric dye. The camera is set to work at 490 frames per second. My acquisition program (made using a producer consumer loop in Labview 2009) works fine most of the times, but sometimes a small section of the collected data looks step-like (not continuous). I have attached herewith a word document containing a snap of the data. Could you please give me some suggestions as to why this happens and how can I rectify it?
Thanks in advance

Hi Anuj,
First, this sounds like a very cool application. What are you measuring? Is it in vivo?
I believe that I see what you are referring to--is it where your cursor is that you are seeing the "step" problem? Also, could you give us a little more information aboutwhat type of data we are looking at? Is this some sort of image analysis data?
In terms of code structure, due to the way that LabVIEW handles image data types (it is essentially a pointer to the data instead of the data itself), I wouldn't recommend passing an image via a queue.
So, please let me know a bit more about what type of data we are looking at, and what your code looks like, and I'll be happy to help.

RTSI cable configuration with PCIe 1433 card

Hi All:
I tried to trigger my line camera with RTSI signal.
The layout is: trigerr signal is generated from one PCI card 6259 (Dev2/ctr0). The line camera is connected with one PCIe 1433 card, and the two cards were connected with RTSI cable.
The problem is that how to register or configure PCIe 1433 with RTSI cable in MAX, it seems I can only configure PCI card within RTSI cable ......
If it is true, how should I do to rout the trigger signal to the camera, such as "route Dev2/ctr0 to Trigger line 0"?
Below is printscreen of MAX Configuration. Attached is my VI.
thanks a lot.

Triggered with RTSI from DAQ.vi ‏63 KB
camera configuration.jpg ‏218 KB

Thanks a lot, the post helped.
But I am still confused with the details:
To camera and PCIe 1433 configruaration, as the attached pictures shows: RTSI is configurerd as Camera Control Line as number "2"; the exposure control of camera is defined as "triggered".
In previous attached VI, you may find that the IMAQ configurer trigger is applied to define trigger type as "RTSI", trigger number as "2".
About ttrigger signal from PCI 6259 (Dev2), digital pulse is generated and output terminal is defined as ctr0 ( seems only ctr0 or ctr1 is option).
So I still do not know how to route signal from "Dev2/ctr0" to "Imag0 CCL 2" in labview.
By the way, I read the online example "LL Triggered Ring using DAQmx Pulse Train", http://www.ni.com/example/29476/en/. Within this VI, the DAQmx Connect Terminals VI is applied to route the counter's output to a RTSI pin so the signal can be used by the IMAQ device. However Dev2/ctro is not recognized as scour terminal, only other items such as PFI, APFI or RTSI are avaible, and output signal source is also limited with similar things, sounds like just internal connectrion with Dev2.
thanks a lot.

Front audio with PCI sound card?

Well, the front audio on my Antec P160W worked perfectly with the integrated sound, but I changed to my SoundBlaster Audigy Player because of the HORRIBLE audio quality. Now the front audio ports don't work. What do I need to do to make it work again? I'm not going back to the integrated.
At first I thought that I had to put the connectors for the front audio on the sound card, but the manual of it doesn't show any of those features.

I was wondering that myself. The only thing I think you could possibly do is have both the onboard and the pci sound card enabled and use the onboard sound just for the headphones. I have no tried this yet as I do have the cables connected to the mobo but I have the onboard sound disabled.

Major : PSU_REDUNDANCY Redundancy Lost for BE6K UCS C220 M3S

Hello Team,
We have several UC deployments based on UCS C220 M3 servers (the famous BE6K).
I'm not coming from systems background, I'm rather a Voice guy.
In fact, the BE6K UCS C220 M3 is shipped by default with only one Power Supply.
However, in the CIMC, we find many times that an alert is raised for Power Supply redundancy and the system LED turns to solid Amber.
Here's the alert : PSU_REDUNDANCY: PS Redundancy sensor, Redundancy Lost was asserted
We don't understand why this alert is raised when we already know that the BE6K server only contains one PSU ?
Is this a true problem or a false alarm ?
How can we clear this alert ?
In fact the fact the system LED is Amber is not a good sign from the customer perspective. As well as when we let it stay in the Amber LED state we wouldn't that a bigger problem (and a true one) may happen ?
The CIMC version is : 1.5.4f
Please advise.

Thank you for your input Keny.
In fact we don't have a second PSU since it isn't shipped with the server. So, in our case (BE6K server) it's clearly a false alarm.
Is there a way to acknowledge/delete/ignore the alert, so that we don't get confused with other more important alerts that may truly affect the platform ?
Thank you again.

64 channel 1450 Hz data logging with PCI-6033E card, on-line averaging and viewing the raw and averaged signal in CWGraphs.

I'm acquiring 64 channels at sampling rate of about 1450kHz continuously and showing the data second by second in a CWGraph. Now, I would like to add an on-line averaging for all of those 64 channels and show it in another CWGraph. The averaging should occur with respect of external trigger and the sample should consist of about 100ms prestimulus and 500ms poststimulus period. Has anybody been handling this sort of things? How it's solved with ComponentWorks and Visual Basic?
I'm using double Pentium 700MHz processors and NI-DAQ PCI-6033E card.

1. To get started with external triggering check out the examples in the Triggering folder that install with CW under MeasurementStudio\VB\Samples\DAQ\Triggering.
2. Create a prestimulus buffer that always contains the latest 100 ms of data. Just modify the CWAI1_AcquiredData event to transfer ScaledData (the data acquired) to your prestimulus buffer. See how there will always be a prestimulus buffer of data regardless of trigger state?
3. On the trigger, you can use the same CWAI1_AcquiredData event to route the data into poststimulus buffer and average the 2.
I see something like this:
if no trigger
100 ms of data to prestimulus buffer
if trigger
500 ms of data to poststimulus buffer
averaging and display function
reset trigger and buffers
good luck

Apple Cinema Display 23-inch with PCI graphics card on a PC...?

My wife has a Dell Dimension 2400 PC along with a Mac G4. The Mac will obviously drive the 23-inch display with no problem, but the PC has on-board graphics which are awful. The only improvement is via a PCI graphics card, and a KVM switch (using the DVI interface on both Mac and PC). Does anyone know of an inexpensive PCI graphics card which will cope with the 23-inch display? Gaming is not on the list of priorities, but page layouts for posters and small (8-page) brochures is what it's needed for.
The Dell's operating suystem is XP Professional, and the G4's is Tiger. Thanks for any help.

I got the blue&white G3 w SDRAM/6GB.
do you think http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DC1P8VA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1& smid=A1EF9OE38VX40W
will solve this? I believe I need a DVI-D female to VGA male adapter?
That adapter is for connecting a VGA display to a computer's DVI port.
If your computer has the ATI Rage 128 graphics card it will have one DVI port and one VGA port. It won't run both ports simultaneously.
If the display has a DVI plug, plug it into the computer's DVI port. No special cable or adapter is needed, but the computer may not support the resolution of the 23".
If the display uses ADC (Apple Display Connector)

you will also need a DVI to ADC adapter

Computer won't boot with PCI-GPIB card installed

I'm running a windows XP system with Labview 7.1 installed. I have installed the GPIB drivers, but when I insert my PCI-GPIB card, the computer will not boot(it freezes before the POST). I'm running a Shuttle "MK40VN" KM400 Chipset Motherboard.

Well, nevermind, I just verified that the card is in fact fried.

UCS C220 M3S with PCI mezzanine card raid SAS 2008M-8i :((
