UCS C420M3 server with VIC 1225 , Cant see LOM ethernet ports

Hi Guyz,
we have C420M3 server with VIC 1225 connected on PCIe slot, with Fabric Interconnet.
After installing OS & drivers , vNICs created on VIC 1225 by service profile appear, but 4 gig ports on Server LOM dont appear.
Any Idea.?
Thank

If you integrate your rack server to UCSM, you will be able to use the LOM ports ONLY for Mgmt traffic, that is when you integrate the server in "Dual Wire Mode".
There is no need (unless you have one for an special reason I am not considering in this very moment) to use the LOM ports once you have integrated the server, precisely cause the VIC 1225 is a not a regular NIC card, nor a regular HBA, it is actually a CNA (Converged Network Adapter) which basically lets you do in one card, what you would do with two (meaning "what you would do with a separate NIC and HBA")
When you have a VIC card, you actually have the option to create up to 256 virtual interfaces (that's the capability of the hardware, always limited by the OS used, please keep that in mind), that is the reason why, after the server is integrated, you totally depend on the interfaces set in the Service Profile instead of the physical interfaces.
Find more info here:

Do you have a particular reason for using the LOM ports instead of creating 2 additional virtual interfaces in the Server's Service Profile?

  • Cisco UCS C220 with VIC 1225

    Hello,
    We have Cisco UCS C220 M3 with VIC 1225 card installed. We connected only one 10G port of VIC 1225 to Nexus 5548UP switch. But I do not see this port on switch and in CIMI the status for this port shows Link Down. I wanted to to iSCSI boot from storage NetApp FAS2240 but since I don't see this port on my Nexus switch I am unable to do boot from NetApp. I tried both ports on VIC 1225 with same result. Please I need help in this matter. I know I am missing something very simple but can't figure this out.
    Thanks,
    Salman

    Hi Kenny,
    Here is the answers:
    -What slot is this card installed in?
    Mezzenine
    -How many CPUs does the server have installed? (1 OR 2 CPUs can make the difference)
    2x 2.90 GHz E5-2690/135W 8C/20MB Cache/DDR3 1600MHz
    -Is the PCIe slot enabled in BIOS? << Let us know if you don't know how to check it from CIMC
    I believe I did. Server>BIOS>BIOS advanced> PCIe (Let me know if this correct)
    -Have you confirmed that the cable is good?
    I have changed four cables. I am using SFP-H10GB-CU2M= Twinax cable.
    -If the switch does not even see the port and CIMC says it is down, have you confirmed the switch port is properly configured?
    CIMI says “Link Down” in VIC adapter General area. The switch interface config has only “switchport mode access” in default vlan 1.
    -What is the firmware running on the server and the OS?
    We upgraded the firmware with latest ucs-c220-huu-1.5.4-3.iso.
    Let me share with you the complete BoM of the server:

  • C240 M3 with VIC 1225 managed with UCSM: Failure Reason: not enough vNIC available

    Hello,
    I have problems in creating a working service profile with more than one vNIC/NIC.
    I have a shiny new C240 server with a UCS VIC 1225 network card in PCI Slot 2. The server is directly connected to the two Fabric Interconnects (6248UP). 2 Direct attached cables with no FEX ("Direct Connect Mode Cluster Setup"). Firmware version is 2.2(1d). After setting the FI port to server role the server is flawlessly discovered. And shows up in the UCSM-GUI. And I see the VIC 1225 adapter that has 2 DCE Interfaces.
    Now, when I try to create Service Profile for this server by choosing "Hardware Based Service Profile" (with Create default vNICs [X] and Create Default vHBA [ ]) I get the following error:
    I am able to create a working profile with one vNIC in one fabric, but a soon as I try to add a second vNIC I get the error above.
    What I expected was, that it is possible to map more than one vNIC/NIC into the server profile. At leat 2 NICs, one in each fabric.
    I would be great if there is someone to bring some light in the darkness thats around me. Any hints or pointers to obvious documentation would be great.
    Kind regards,

    Hello,
    thanks for your answer. And you are probably correct.
    I can add aditional vnics to fabric A but not to fabric B. And even trying to add a single nic to Fabric B does not work.
    I changed the ports for this server on the fabric interconnects and rebooted the FI but it did not help.
    When I look at the General Tab of my server and then on Connection Details I see:
    Conection Path: A, B
    Connection Status: A
    Managing Instance: A
    My conclusion is, I have a problem with the Connection Path B of my C240..

    Hello Kenny,
    My main question is « how to use and to configure failover on VIC 1225 ». I have already configure failover on B-serie but never on c-series
    For more details (please see diagram in attach), my issue is that my C240 on DRP site (just 40 metres from main site) is connected to local switch (C3560) and to LAN core (C4506 on main site). This connection on 2 Catalyst devices seems to be a problem for vSphere :
    i could see that : as soon as I connect the 2 ports, C240 lost connection to vCenter ; CIMC is still pinging.
    I could read on ucsguru forum, someone has the same issue with 2 catalyst.
    I do not have a lot of time for this deployment and installation. So, I told me to use actif/passif should be the faster way. If I connect only a cable (by shuting/ no shuting an interface on a catalyst), it works. In order to do that, automatically, I would want to implement failover on VIC1225
    Any suggestion on my issue is welcome.
    Many thanks.
    Nicolas.

  • C240 M3 with VIC 1225 VMware network issue

    Just got my hands on a few C240 M3′s with the VIC 1225 adapter and began setting them up as a VMware 5.1 U1 cluster. I’ve configured 8 vNICs per host: 2 for Management, 2 for VMotion, 2 for iSCSI, and 2 for VM traffic. Each pair of vNICs has one pinned to uplink 0 and the other to uplink 1. vNICs are set to trunk mode in the VIC since I am tagging multiple VLANs from VMware. The hosts are physically connected to a stacked pair of Cisco 4500-X switches; physical uplink 0 to one switch, uplink 1 to the other switch. Switch ports are trunked to allow the VLANs we plan to use. Portfast is enabled. VMware vSwitches using Source Port ID for Load Balancing and the vNICs are active/active for Management and VM traffic. No port channel or Etherchannel is configured on the swtiches.
    After creating a VM for vCenter and joining the hosts to it, I started migrating existing VMs from an old cluster and saw odd network behavior. It seems whenever a VM or vmkernel interface are on any vNIC pinned to the same physical uplink on the same host, they can’t talk to each other.
    Example: VM1 and VM2 are on host 1. VM1′s network adapter is pinned to vNIC1 using VLAN 10 which uses physical uplink 0. VM2′s network adapter is pinned to vNIC2 using VLAN 10 which uses physical uplink 1. VM1 and VM2 can ping each other. If I move VM2′s network adapter to any vNIC that uses physical uplink 0, just like VM1, then VM1 and VM2 can no longer ping each other. Or if host 1′s management IP is pinned to vNIC 1 on physical uplink 0, any VM on host 1 using a vNIC also pinned to physical uplink 0 cannot ping the host.
    Anyone have any ideas?  Is something configured incorrectly on the switch?  On the VIC?
    Thanks!

    Hello Michael,
    I assume VIC is operating Classical Ethernet ( CE ) mode and VM1 and VM2 are in different vswitchs for the non-working scenario, ( where there vNICs used by vSwitch are pinned to physical uplink ) .
    If this is the scenario, the frames have to be switched upstream switch and needs to be forwarded back on the same switch interface. Any IEEE standards based switch will not forward such traffic flow.
    You might want to take advantage of Adapter-FEX or adapt changes to design to accommodate such traffic flows.

  • I have a current 2TB Time Capsule. I would like to add more ethernet ports for needed expansion. Will an Airport Extreme conflict with the Time Capsule for needed ethernet ports and will wireless from both units conflict?

    I own a current 2TB Time Capsule and I need to expand my network system to include more ethernet (wired) ports. I am considering an Airport Extreme that would give me enough wired ports. Will the wireless capabilities of both units conflict with each other? I only need one wireless network. Thank you for any help.

    While you could certainly add an AirPort Extreme to provide additional Ethernet ports, you could also save about $150 by purchasing an inexpensive switch, such as one of these:
    http://www.amazon.com/D-Link-DGS-1005G-5-Port-Gigabit-Desktop/dp/B003X7TRWE/
    http://www.amazon.com/TRENDnet-Unmanaged-GREENnet-Auto-Negotiation-Auto-MDIX/dp/ B001QUA6R0/
    Consumer grade Ethernet switches typically come in five and eight port configurations. Just be aware that a five port switch only conveys the ability to add three additional devices. An eight port switch conveys the ability to add six additional devices.
    An 8 port switch provides twice the capacity of a 5 port switch for considerably less than twice the cost. The price difference between the two is often only $10 or so.
    I just checked, the 8 port version of the Trendnet switch above costs exactly $4 more.
    An AirPort Extreme is a very flexible full featured wireless router, and would provide three additional LAN ports for wired devices. If all you need is a few more ports though, it's overkill.

  • Ml350e windows server 2012 r2 - p420 - Cant see disks

    Hi All,
    Having an issue with my ML350e, installed a p420 controller which has picked up all the disks and was able to configure a RAID 5 array within the ACU and 2 disks within a RAID1. I then tried to install server 2012R2 which when prompted with the choose a disk screen find that i cannot see the disks. I think that the driver for the P420 is not being seen within the installer. Have tried flashing BIOS to latest version have also tried the windows 2012 r2 supplementary pack from a memory stick with the "p420 driver". When searching the memory stick and finding the driver we clicked yes and it informs us that "no new device drivers were found. Make sure the installation media contains the correct drivers, and click OK". Has anyone seen this need help!!.

  • Can I create a large network with 2 WRT900N routers & 2 live ethernet ports 80 ft apart.

    I have a main cable modem in the cellar and from there it splits with one LAN line going to one end of the house and the other LAN going to the other. I have two wireless routers (WRT900N). Yes, I know I can connect one WRT900N to another WRT900N through their LAN ports. That being said, can't I do this some other way? It would make sense that with two live LAN CAT-5 plug-ins, two top end routers, that I should be able to do it. That being said, the only feedback I am getting is to go and return one of the routers and buy a couple of access points (although the reviews on the WRT900N repeaters are not so flattering) but this does not make any sense to me. thanks for anyone's help!

    Are you sure that it is WRT900N ??
    I think it is WRT600N !!

  • UCS C240 M4 with Cisco UCS VIC1227 VIC MLOM - Dual Port 10Gb SFP+

    Hi All,
    Have a few UCS C-series questions:
    If I have a UCS C240 M4 rack server with Cisco UCS VIC1227 VIC MLOM - Dual Port 10Gb SFP+, but do not have fabric interconnect(s), I cannot use the UCS VIC1227 for anything, can I? The VIC ports HAVE to be connected to the FI(s) in order to be integrated with the UCS Manager. There is no local UCS manager software running on the server itself, is there?
    It is useless to have this card in the server without the FI(s), isn’t it?
    The OS that is going to be installed on the server is not going to see those 10GB ports on the VIC, isn’t it?
    And if there are no additional PCIe NICs installed in the server, I am stuck with the two 1GB onboard NICs, is that correct?
    Any input is appreciated.

    do not have fabric interconnect(s), I cannot use the UCS VIC1227 for anything, can I?
    The VIC 1227 can be used to integrate the server with UCSM, but that does NOT mean that is its unique function... the VIC 1227 is a CNA card that can be used whether your server is in standalone mode (no Fabric Interconnects) or integrated with UCSM.
    If the server is not connected to a Fabric Interconnect (FI), it still has CIMC (Cisco Integrated Management  Controller) which can be configured by attaching a monitor to the server and a keyboard, press F8 when you see the Cisco logo and then you can configure the IP, subnet, gateway, NIC mode and others... this may help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHQBvwO7pUU

    It is useless to have this card in the server without the FI(s), isn’t it?
    It is NOT useless to have the card in the server without the FIs, having the servers integrated only allows you to take advantage of the flexibility of Service Profiles but the VIC card still has the same capabilities whether you have an FI or not.
    The OS that is going to be installed on the server is not going to see those 10GB ports on the VIC, isn’t it?
    See above
    And if there are no additional PCIe NICs installed in the server, I am stuck with the two 1GB onboard NICs, is that correct?

  • C460 Rack Server with two VIC 1225 - UCSM vNIC placement policy

    I am trying to integrate C460 having 2 VIC 1225 cards with UCSM. The objective is to have 2 ethernet interfaces assigned to each VIC , one per FI.
    vNIC 1 on VIC 1 - FI A failover to FI B
    vNIC 2 on VIC 1 - FI B failover to FI A
    vNIC 3 on VIC 2 - FI A failover to FI B
    vNIC 4 on VIC 2 - FI B failover to FI A
    I have created a service profile with 4 vNICs and assigned to C460. When the UCSM is configured to use the system default for vNIC/vHBA placement policy, all 4 vNICs are assigned to one VIC. When trying to place them manually with 2 on vCon1 and 2 on vCon2, I am seeing insufficient resource error. Both the VIC are recognized and UCSM server tab shows both of them as adapters.
    Could someone please let me know how to achieve it?
    Thanks!

    The C460 has an integrated BCM 57711 which would also be recognized by the system.  What's most likely happening is that the VIC 1225s are on vCon1 and vCon3 and the BCM card is on vCon2, since FF is not supported on the Broadcom adapter this would cause the association to fail.  Try placing the manual placement with vCon1 and vCon3 and see if this clears up the issue.

  • C460-M2 with 2 VIC-1225, managed by UCSM

    C460-M2 with 2 VIC-1225; all documents show only one VIC-1225 (which has to be in PCI slot nr.1)  single wire managment with a UCS FI ?
    Is this a limitation ? or must the second VIC-1225 be connected to a switch outside the FI ?
    Walter.

    I received the following answer
    Good question Walter. The documentation is confusing. If running the C460 as part of a UCS integration, only 1 card is supported.Although the server supports 2 cards , slot 1 & 2 according to the specsheet. The datasheet states that upto 3 VIC can be supoprted int he server.
    The Cisco CCW config tool allows you to configure 2 VIC1225 in the C460.

  • UCS C-Series VIC-1225 to Nexus 5000 setup

    Hello,
    I have two nexus 5000 setup with a vpc peer link. I also have an cisco c240 m3 server with a vic-1225 card that will be running esx 5.1. I also have some 4 2248 fabric extenders. I have been searching for some best practice information on how to best setup this equipment. The nexus equipment is already running, so its more about connecting the c240 and the vic-1225 to the nexus switches. I guess this is better to do rather than to connect to the fabric extenders in order to minmize hops?
    All documention I have found involves setup/configuration etc with fabric interconnects which I dont have, and have been told that I do not need. Does anyone have any info on this? and can point me in the right direction to setup this correctly?
    More specifically, how should I setup the vic-1225 card to the nexus? just create a regular vpc/port-channel to the nexuses? use lacp and set it to active?
    Do I need to make any configuration changes on the vic card via the cimc on the c240 server to make this work?

    Hello again, Im stuck
    This is what I have done. I have created the vPC between my esx host and my two nexus 5000 switches, but it doesnt seem to come up:

    Im unsure what I must configure on the cisco 240M3(esx host) side to make this work. I only have the two default interfaces(eth0 and eth1) on the vic-1225 installed in the esx host, and both have the vlan mode is set to TRUNK.
    Any ideas on what I am missing?
