UCS Chassis Not Recognized

Hello,
I am having a strange issue with a new UCS environment that we just brought online. One of the four UCS chassis had an issue with its firmware upgrade, specifically the IO module. All of the other componants on all of the other UCS chassis upgraded just fine but these two IO modules hung during the firmware upgrade. I tried to downgrade the firmware on all of the other componants to match the hung IO modules to see if they would come back online and they did not. I also moved the IO modules into a known working chassis and they worked after an auto-upgrade of the firmware! I then swapped them back to their original chassis thinking that they would be ok but they went down again, stating a communication problem and the 6140 reported them as being link-down. I restarted the entire chassis and also swapped the uplink cables and still they show offline. As a last ditch effort I deleted the entire chassis and went back to re-add it and now it will not even detect the chassis.
I know that the IO modules are fine because I can put them in another chassis and they will come up but as soon I put them back in their original chassis, the 6140's report the link as being down and it will not recognize the chassis. Does this sound like a hardware issue with the chassis itself? Any ideas?

Can you try using the cables from your "good" Chassis on the failing one?
I'd suggest you completely power down the bad chassis. Take the cables from a good chassis, move them over, then power the bad Chassis back up.
If this doesn't work let me know. Also ensure your Chassis discovery policy is set to 1 link for now.

UCS C220 not recognizing LSI 9266 MegaRaid card

I just received a new UCS c220 with a seperate LSI 9266 MegaRaid card. I have installed the card adn connected the SAS cables and BBU. When I start the server it doesn't recogize the card. If go into CIMC the card is not listed. I have changed the SAS cables and resetted them all several times. I have resetted the card several times. I have not changed any of the settings yet so I may be missing something there that will make it recongize the card but I have followed all available instructions as well. Any thoughts on what I could be missing?

Yes I have it installed in PCIe2 per the instructions. It won't fit in PCIe1 anyway . I have also looked up the LSI card specs to make sure I have the cables correctly attached. See attached images for configuration in BIOS as Robert suggests and evidence of cabling and PCI location.
Thanks for the assist.

Why are my PXI cards not recognized by Windows or MAX?

I have a PXI-1045 chassis connected to a PC through MXI-4. When I turn the chassis and PC on with a PXI card in slot 2, the message "Windows could not load the installer for DAQDevice. Contact your hardware vendor for assistance." appears, and the PXI card is not recognized (it is scene by Windows as an unidentifiable PCI Devices, though I have a DAQmx installed).
More details:
Windows XP
LabVIEW 8.0 installed
TestStand 4.0 installed
Latest DAQmx 8.XX installed
NI Scope installed
NI CAN installed
MXI-4 PCI card installed in PC and recognized by Windows (as PCI-PCI bridge, and MXI-4 Device)
I identified PXI chassis 1045 in MAX and on subsequent boot up saw that MAX complained about pxisys or some other ini file (in the chassis status area of the screen) so I configured it as 'other' then put in the PXI-resorce CD and selected the ini file for PXI-1045, MAX no longer complains about pxisys and instead says the chassis is configured properly
If I have nothing but the PXI MXI-4 card installed in the PXI system and boot up the chassis then the PC, I get no errors
If I have a card in slot two (I've tried PXI-6509 Industrial Digital IO, PXI-2569 Relay Module, and PXI-5102 Digital Oscilliscope) and boot the chassis then PC, the message "Windows could not load the installer for DAQDevice. Contact your hardware vendor for assistance." shows up when Windows boots and Windows sees a PCI Device but can't identify any drivers for it.

Hello,
Can you post a screenshot of the problem? Are you switching on the chassis first or the PC? Please make sure that you switch ON chassis and then boot the PC. This typically happens when you have a corrupted installation. I would suggest downloading the latest version of driver from here and re-installing it.
Please uninstall all the driver software from computer before installing the new software.

NI cDAQ-9172 is not recognizing a NI 9237

I am trying to use a NI 9237 with a NI cDAQ-9172 to measure pressure using a pressure transducer. When I plugged the 9237 into the cDAQ it was not recognized. As I remember with this piece of eqiupment, once a module is plugged in it should be recognized and configured. Any ideas?

Hi Matthew,
I'm wondering, do you have the driver installed? As well, is your chassis recognized in Measurement and Automation Explorer? Does the New Found Hardware issue ever pop up when you connect your device? Thanks!

QoS on the UCS Chassis

I bought a UCS chassis with two blades that are 'qualified' for Cisco Voice products (cm, ccx, etc).... i decided to not buy the $20,000 worth of VMWARE enterprise pro licenses and the v1000 switch... since the ROI is simply not there (I'd rather have 4 separate pieces of hardware then spend that much money on software)... anyway... so now my questions are:
1. What QoS options are available (if any) on the uplink from the chassis to the 6120s and from the 6120s to my 4500 switch.
2. What Qos options are available (if any) on individual hosts inside my vmware.
3. Can I buy the v1000 switch (which i believe is a few grand) and get some QoS without buying the stupid expensive vmware enterprise pro?
...or do i just return the chassis?
Thanks!

Terry,
1. UCS traffic will maintain is CoS markings on the egress of the UCS system. It's then up to the upstream switch to honor these marking accordingly. All CoS markings between the Chassis and FI will be honored on the IOM to prioritze traffic accoridngly in the event of congestion using PFC. Have a read on tha attached paper about UCS & QoS, should help you get an understand on the system handling of QoS/CoS.
2. VMware 5 does offer some new auto quality of service options. Have a read through:
What's new in vSphere 5 Networking
3. No. Any Distributed Switch (VMware vDS or Cisco 1000v DVS) requires the Enterprise Plus license. This includes both the Cisco 1000v and VN-Link in Hardware (PTS with Palo M81KR adaptor).

Robert

Terry,
UC on UCS deployment design considered the hardware features and UC software requirements
and concluded that there will be no congestion for the IP traffic until it leaves Fabric Interconnect.
So for the following traffic flow, we do not need additional QoS ( L2 COS ) configuration.
UC App > vSwitch > physical adapter > IOM > FI > upstream switch
However, if you have other virtual machines in the blade that contends for the bandwidth, then you environment might need Nexus 1000v or QoS configuration on the UCS.
Please refer following doc for additional information

UCS chassis PSU error

Hi team ,
We are getting error on PSU for Cisco UCS chassis.
Its showing NA under performance & voltage tab.
We tried resetating PSU as well as removing power cable & connecting it back.
PSU is power-on & operational.
Can anyone suggest why this issue is & how to get rid of this.

Hi Ashish ,
It is possible that you are hitting I2C issues. I recommend to open a TAC case to have an engineer look at your environment and confirm that the I2C bus is congested.
Here are your options to clear the i2c bus:
1.You can reseat the IOMs you will need to reseat one IOM at a time starting with the IOM connected to the subordinated fabric, This should not cause a complete outage. However, you should perform this during a maintenance window. Please note, this method does not always clear the i2c bus 100% of the time. You may have to use option 2 if this is the case.
2.The second option is to power down then power back up the chassis. This method clears the i2c bus 100% of the time. However, the down side is it is service impacting and will need to be done during a maintenance window.

UCS Chassis 5108 both IOMs inaccessible

Dear forum users,
Problem description: Sometime our UCS Chassis 5108 and both IOM are suddenly INACCESSIBLE. This happens frequently (Happend 5 times in just a month)
Temporary Solution: To unplug and re-plug Chassis power cords twice, then the Chassis back to normal
Once the Chassis is inaccessible state, below are what we witness on the Chassis:
- All the blades LEDs on chassis-1 shows amber lit
- 8 ports on IOM A and IOM B shows NO LED lit (Not even amber lit)
- Sudden increased in Fan speed on chassis-1
- FI ports which connected to Chassis-1, shows NO LED it
- Please find attached (Chassis-1_Fault.jpg) Fault message on chassis-1
We had tried the following:
- Tried re-sit the uplink cable
- Tried replacing the uplink cable, the port is still down
- Reboot FI
- Decommission the chassis-1
- Recommission the chassis-1
Below is our setup environment:
- 2x UCS 6248UP
- 2x UCS 5108
- 4x UCS 2208XP (2 IOM per chassis)
- 2x UCS B200 M2
- 5x UCS B250 M2
- Firmware 2.0(3b)
- Each IOM has 4 Uplink cables connect to FI
- Chassis Discovery Policy
1. Action (4 Links)
2. Link Grouping Preference (Port Channel)
We hope, someone should have experience with the same problem or have some advise to be shared.
Please let me know should you need any further details of the problem or other information.
Look forward to a positive reply.

Hello Mohamed,
Please open a TAC service request with UCSM and Chassis tech support log files.
Also, include approximate date & time of the event.

USB Device for IPOD not recognized by Windows, whether ipod connected or no

During the past few days I have received a pop up error message from (I would think) Windows that the USB device is not recognized. I have the USB plug for the ipod connected (as always)but the ipod isn't even connected. It keeps popping up like every few seconds that the usb device is not recognized.
When I attach the ipod itself, the ipod is recognizing it because it powers up. But, it took 10 times just to get the ipod to recognize through itunes. It updated, then immediately upon completion, windows again starting giving repeated error messages that the usb device wasn't recognized.
I have downloaded the newest itunes but I had it on my system for 4 days with no problems whatsoever. I don't think that's it. No other system changes.
I've deleted my temp files and cache. Also did a "disk clean up" and "defrag." It's still doing it.
Any suggestions?

I'm having the same problem. Ever since I upgraded to version 7, iTunes & my PC no longer recognise my iPod, and it therefore won't sync.
It's not the USB port (other devices work in it), I rebooted my iPod and re-installed iTunes, I've tried stopping and starting the iPod Service (but can't see my iPod in My Computer). When I run the Diagnostics it says iPod connection failed. I've even bought a new USB cable but that doesn't work either.
This is driving me up the wall. Is there a glitch with iTunes 7?
Can anyone help me out?? Thanks

Aio Remote: PDFs not recognized by Google drive.

Aio Remote on iPad Air2 iOS 8.1.1 - I created a PDF on my iPad from my HP Envy 7640 using Aio remote app. In the files/document section it's there (3 pages) as a PDF. But when I upload a copy from Aio Remote to Google Drive it's not recognized by Google Drive as a PDF even though it has a PDF extention. I have other PDF files stored in Google drive that are perfectly fine. It must be something in your app that is the problem.

More info: if I send it from Aio remote as an email attachment to myself I get a PDF that I can upload to Google drive and Google drive reconizes it as a PDF. again proving it is Aio remote that is doing some thing wrong when uploading to Google Drive.

I recently upgraded to ios7 and now my PC is not recognizing my iphone

I am having several problems. I recently upgraded to ios7 and now my PC (Windows 7) is not recognizing my iphone. 1) I am getting an error message when itunes opens: "Itunes could not connect to the iphone because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iphone before it can be used with itunes." How did it get locked and how do I unlock it without losing my data? What do they mean by passcode? I don't have a 4-number code to get into my iphone activated. In fact, I've never had a passcode.
2) I cannot download my photos from my iphone onto my computer because my computer doesn't recognize my iphone. In other words, my iphone does not show up on my computer (no iphone icon, no DCIM folder).
3) This is a separate issue but it is also very confusing: I went online to check my iCloud and I cannot see any data (icloud.com). But I know that I set up iCloud when I upgraded to ios7 and it backs up my data every night. What am I doing wrong, am I unable to see my data and photos?
Why is this happening? It was bad enough that when I upgraded to ios7, I lost my Notes - I have no idea why they didn't return. But now essentially my iphone is not recognized when connected to my computer and this is very frustrating. I have read numerous previous postings regarding downloading photos onto the PC and regarding this passcode error and cannot find a resolution, so I would appreciate any help.

No problem!
This will make it easy for you:

IPod nano does not charge & is not recognized by computer or iTunes

I have a 1st generation nano 1 GIG.
It appears "dead."
It is not recognized by My Computer, iTunes or the Ipod Updater (The updater asks that I connect the iPod, which I do). The iPod diagnostics through iTunes also reports that my iPod is not connected.
I have tried my iPod on 4 different machines, with one of them having USB 2.0.
I tried the following from Jeff Bryan. (I don't know if the links from his post have carried over into this post.) So I will list the things I have tried near the end of this post.
- My iPod won't turn on.
- iPod battery doesn't charge.
- iTunes 7 doesn't recognize the iPod.
- Your Windows PC doesn't recognize iPod.
- iPod appears in Windows Explorer but does not appear in iTunes.
- iPod does not appear in iTunes.
- Fast user switching in Windows XP is not supported.
I tried resetting my iPod by switching the Hold button on and off and then pressing Menu and the Select button for 6-10 seconds. I have done this over and over and over.
I have uninstalled the latest iTunes, reboot, reinstall - same problem.
I have stopped the iPod service, plugged in the iPod, but it isn't recognized by My Computer as stated in the Apple Do-It-Yourself Help. I launched iTunes - same problem.
I used the window cleanup utility, reboot, reinstall iTunes, connect iPod - same problem.
I have used the Windows ipconfig utility to change my boot parameters, but still nothing.
If anyone has any ideas, I would greatly appreciate them.
My iPod is just shy of 6 months.
I do have a replacement contract with Best Buy - but I would like to cover all the bases before I succumb to defeat.
Thanks

I'm having the same problem, my ipodnano is about a year old and I can't figure out what to do. I just installed the new itunes on my new laptop with vista premium. I'm desperate for a resolution, do you have any suggestions at all. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you

Iphone not recognized by windows or itunes

Can anyone please help me figure out how to resolve this issue? My iphone 4 is not recognized by my PC. My OS is by Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2. I tried the various "device not recognized" troubleshooting to no avail. I tunes is up to date. I even turned off my security sw for a bit to see if there was a third party conflict...all to no avail. There has got to be someone out there who has the smarts to show me how to fix this. Please advise and many thanks in advance!

Jason,
I understand why Apple doesn't cover the water damaged phones under the warranty, but do you know why they don't fix them if the customer is paying? Is it just because they want the people to buy another phone so they can make more money? I guess I just don't get it.
The cost to repair a device and all of its components is more than the cost of a new device.
Other than the article I linked above, this is the part of the warranty/legal forms that would apply:
+"US v1.0+
+Apple reserves the right to refuse+
+service on products that have serial numbers altered, defaced or removed or that are damaged due to+
+accident, abuse, neglect, misuse (including faulty installation, repair, or maintenance by anyone other+

+(including extreme temperature or humidity), extreme physical or electrical stress or interference,+
+fluctuation or surges of electrical power, lightning, static electricity, fire, acts of God or other external+

5th Gen Ipod not recognized by windows or itunes. Have tried it all. Any Ideas?

Hello everyone. I have a 5th generation Ipod I recently purchased that I'm having what seems to be an common issue. When I connect the ipod to my computer via USB, the Ipod is not recognized in windows or Itunes. Occasionally the Ipod will charge when connected but not always. Though this is the same for the old wire I used and the new one I purchased today. Even when shown charging the Ipod is not recognized and there is no noise that a device has been connected. I have tried the 4 R's (without Restore) which I can't do, chaninging the drive letter, disabling start up software,uninstalling and reinstalling all Apple Software. I have tried connecting to another computer and have gotten the same result. When I check the diagnostic screen on the ipod it shows that a usb cable is detected. I have upgraded all my driver software, disabled and reenabled them. I'm almost 3 hours from the nearest store so that it out of the question. I'm curious if anyone has any other ideas and will try anything you think might be the issue and fix. Thank you for time.

From my experience, the only way you're gonna get a PC afflicted with this disease to work with a 5th gen nano is to roll back to an earlier version of iTunes. Those affected have been exhausted by this ongoing issue. To update or not to update? And I always say never update unless you have to, and turn off all that auto update mess!
I have two core2duo lappies running 32b vista. My workflow dictates 32b fyi. One is acer aspire running itunes v 11.1 (.0.126), 5th gen nano was originally formatted and works just fine on this machine to this day. My other is the bigger badder lenovo thinkpad and the 5th gen will NOT mount using any version of itunes past 11.0 (.1.12) Windows mounts it just fine. itunes is not having it. no shirt no shoes no service.
I have both a 4th and 5th gen nano. The 4th gen works great on both machines, I even successfully tested it with the latest version (11.1.5) before subsequent deletion on the thinkpad! Weird huh? I think my next experiment might be to restore my 5th gen w/ a Mac and theeeeen plug it into PC itunez.
I'm at a loss on the thinkpad. Scanned for intruders. Cut the Lenovo bloat. Executed system and reg maintenance. Took down msconfig to a safe mode + itunes level to attempt to resolve possible sw conflicts but to no avail. NO NO NO. Every single dang port, every time on the thinkpad. Has me feeling like others might get the same treatment by the next itunes update. :|
So in summary for me:
5th gen nano and thinkpad are a NoGo on 11.1^ last working version for me = 11.0.1
5th gen nano is working on an acer aspire 11.1.0 but no way in the world am I updating
4th gen nano is kicking 5th gen nano's @zz so what would make me want to buy a new ipod?
