UCS I/O Throttle with Esxi 5.1 Update 2 and UCSM 2.1 and 2.2

Hi,
I have heard that Cisco recommends that the I/O throttle be changed to 256 when using esxi 5.1 Update 2. Does anyone have any official information on the change that Cisco recommends?

Very interested to see the answer to this, it'd be nice if Cisco had something official on this.
I found this document:
http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/solutions/collateral/data-center-virtualization/unified-computing/guide-c07-730811.pdf
Its a little confusing, but it seems the defaults you may use could be 256, or 2048.

Raid management on UCS 210M2 with ESXI 4.1

Hi there,
I'm trying to figure out what is the best way to monitor the raid on an 210M2 with the megaraid card. Currently I have install ESXI 4.1 with a windows 7 worksation. On this workstation I have install the MSM but of course you can only see the raid of that workstation... What I've read on the LSI doc is that you need to install some kind of "drivers" on the esxi console to be able to monitor the whole raid... But with the limited options in the console shell of esxi, ( no rpm ), its impossible to install that driver ...
The question is how its possible to use MSM with ESXI 4.1 to monitor/manage the raid of the ucs210m2 ?
I've install the esxi 4.1 cisco iso
regards

Hello,
Based on what I have read, we do not need to install anything on ESXi hosts. MSM works with ESXi through CIM provider.
Refer to section .6.5.4.1 in the LSI doc. Also, here is the KB article from LSI
http://kb.lsi.com/KnowledgebaseArticle16430.aspx
Make sure the requried network ports are open between the system running MSM and ESXi host.

FCPIO_TIMEOUT with ESXi 5.1 and 1.5.0.45 fnic driver

Hi,
we have a lot of trouble with a new setup. Brought a new open-e storage server with Qlogic HBAs into our fabric (nexus 55xx) connected this through zoning into our B200M3 with 2.1.2a and 2.1.3a BIOS and running ESXi 5.1 Update 1b on top.
After the reboot, no connected host sees any LUN from this device any more.
Only a reboot of the open-e server recovers the luns. When the device was properly rebootet, all hosts had immediatly access to the luns.
While rebooting a host, we got this messages:

Talking to VMware, they gave me a KB article:
kb.vmware.com/kb/1033409
But we`ve already installed this drivers:
net-enic 2.1.2.38-1OEM.500.0.0.472560
scsi-fnic 1.5.0.45-1OEM.500.0.0.472560
Any help would be appriciated. Especially with troubleshooting SAN/traffic on nexus, fabric-interconnect and maybe the blades itself....
Thx!
Update: 22.08.14
What we can see now is, using a host with 4 vHBAs has problems. Not only with open-e. But also with another storage vendor.
Example the hosts sees after a reboot only 2 (of 4) paths into 4 of 5 luns. On one lun he sees (again) all 4.
Hosts having only two vHBAs, not connected to open-e, seems not having trouble.
Guess would be, there musst be some kind of trouble with the driver?

Hi wdey,
yeah that is another problem with this "matrix"-only thing....
It`s just a plain old intel x86 server hw from a well know manufactorer running open-e as so called "software definded storage" on it. The connection is done via plain old very well known QLA2562, 8 GBit Dualport HBAs. Them connected to our N5K.
Your question answered:
Regarding 4 hba configuration
- I assume your UCS FI is end host mode, and the N5k NPIV ?
YES
- do you have a dual fabric, with different VSAN's
YES
- do you see the flogi of all the 4 vhba's (show flogi database vsan ... on the N5k)
Only two vHBAs are connected to the N5K fabric but YES, see them all there.
And of course see them in our second non-N5K fabric. Also different VSAN`s then N5K
- did you see any strange error messages on UCS, resp. N5K
NO, none so far. Thats the thing. Not even error-counters etc.rising.
And thanks for your help!!!

Disable LRO with ESXi 5 environment?

Hi All,
I have a question regarding building UC on UCS using a C210M2 rackmount server with ESXi 5 installed.
I am trying to find out if I still need to disable LRO.
I think that I do but my colleague seems quite sure we would only need to disable LRO if in a Vmware 4.0 or 4.1 environment.
Can anyone please help me out with an answer?
I have proveded a link below which I am using as my reference on the issue.
Thanks for any help.

Good News.
Doc wiki was updated in April; VOS\RHEL 5+ supports LRO. CUCM 8.6+ UCCX 9.0+
http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Disable_LRO
Note: If you're running CUCM 8.6, UCCX/ IP IVR 9.0 and above (i.e., UC applications using VOS/ RHEL 5+), the Linux version used in these releases is compatible with LRO, you don't have to worry about the settings (disable LRO is not required) on the host or which version of ESXi is running. However, Disabling LRO is required for CUCM including other UC applications such as UCCX/ IP IVR, etc. versions 8.0 and 8.5 (prior to VOS/RHEL 5.0) irrespective of ESXi version.

Throttled with lies

I'm the bad guy... at least according to Verizon's throttling policy for the remaining "unlimited" (haha!) data customers utilizing 3G. And yes, it is throttling, "network optimization" doublespeak aside; a better term might be "bottom line optimization." I understand the desire to not end up in the same situation that ATT/Cingular did, whom I left for Verizon because their connectivity became atrocious. This action, however, is a step backward, disrecpectful of their most active users, and demonstrates a glaring lack of vision with regards to the ever-blossoming world of mobile data connectivity. I'm technically knowledgeable and understand that 10 million users all maxing out their connections 24/7 is unsustainable with existing architecture, I get it, but that's not what's happening. This action is nothing more than a means of forcing the remaining "unlimited" (again hah!) data users off of these grandfathered plans and onto the new tiered rate structure and ultimately is about $$$ and not equal opportunity bandwidth allocation. And if bandwidth is at that much of a premium, then it's Verizon's fault for not appropriately scaling up to accomodate the incredible increase in data users driven by it's own push towards smartphones for everyone and the adoption of the iphone; not the fault of users that use more data than the average person.
Verizon explains, as justification for this bandwidth throttling, that they are trying to protect the 95% of users who do not exceed 2gb/month by reigning in these "abusers" who use "inordinate" amounts of data because apparently Verizon's network is so weak that a mere 5% of its user base can completely ruin the experience of the other 95%. But wait, this does not apply to 4G customers or anyone that's on the tiered billing plan. So, if being an "abuser" and using "inordinate" amounts of data is OK as long as Verizon is making more money, then it's really not about bandwidth consumption is it, because those same heavy users are not being throttled... as long as Verizon makes more money. My friend has a 4G phone that NEVER gets 4G connectivity because 3G is the best we have in our rural state, he also upgraded to this phone just prior to the elimination of the "unlimited" plans. Yet he is not affected by the throttling. We are both just over 7gb for our current billing cycle, my phone has been throttled and is now essentially unusable for the very things that it is marketed for; I can send texts, emails, view basic website but any sort of streaming is now out of the question for the remainder of my billing cycle? Possible the next cycle as well? Even many websites load painfully slowly because most sites are pretty graphic intensive in this day and age. And so I am paying for a service that the service provider is now preventing me from utilizing as intended. My friend, at the same level of data usage on an unlimited plan, is unaffected.
Also, with regards to "network intelligence" not being "throttling" because it only, well, throttles in areas that are "congested" that's not accurate. I live in a low population bedroom town, a large percentage of which, I assure you, are not avid smartphone streamers and many of whom have landline broadband connections to their homes. I would often get 900kpbs upwards to 2mbps regularly when streaming and do so without interruption or pausing to buffer in most cases. Since my "throttling" the other day I cannot break 300kbps and anything I stream pauses every 60 seconds to buffer as I watch my bandwidth oscillate between 50kbps and, at a rare maximum, 300 kbps. This is not a congested area. I go to work in a more heavily-populated town, still 300 kpbs max. I take lunch and go into the city, the largest and most populated city in our state, still 300, actually popped up to 350 in what I would consider the most congested portion of our state. Where's the "network intelligence" Verizon?...
7gb! Wow, how can you possibly use that much data?!? Is it really that hard to comprehend how someone could easily tear through that much data? Utilizing the Netflix app alone, an app approved and available in the Market, this can be accomplished rather easily. A rough average on an hour episode of streaming media is, ballpark, around what 300mb? So, watching 7 one-hour episodes of a tv show streamed through Netflix would equate to around 2gb; you're now an "abuser" using "inordinate" amounts of data. "Inordinate" apparently equating to watching two 1-hour tv shows/week streamed through your phone. Given that the average American watches 5 hours of tv a day and spends even more time online, that usage estimate is actually conservative relative to the typical level of media consumption in the United States.
If Verizon wants to used a tiered billing system as everyone is now, that's their perogative, however modifying plans previously labeled as "unlimited" in order to correct for a forecasting mistake made by Verizon itself is unacceptable. Verizon, you should have allowed these plans to expire within their existing contract dates without meddling with individual users' bandwidth allocations; they would have all eventually gone away and you would have a lot fewer **bleep**-off customers. I repeat, I have a phone that is now essentially unusable for the majority of functions that it is marketed for because of an inentional restriction against me as a customer by Verizon... yet I am expected, of course, to continue paying for the very service they are essentially blocking me from using because, while Verizon can modify the terms of any contract they see fit, I certainly cannot. What if your cable provider, most of which utilize streaming video through digital cable boxes now, turned off your cable access for the rest of the month or only let you watch channels 1-10 because, sir, you've been watching far too much tv and it's preventing our other customers from viewing shows... mmhmm, that wouldn't upset any tv viewers now would it?
Verizon, of course, knows that other providers do this as well and that I, of course, want to continue my media consumption, and so they have the upper hand. I, like an increasing number of people, use my phone for everything. I have no cable, no cable broadband, no landline phone, my phone is my connection to the world, partly because that's how I prefer it, partly because I can't afford to pay several different companies for access to the same thing. I either fold and drop $300 on a new 4G phone and renew my contract with a tiered data plan and get financially raped and have to constantly stress about how much data I've used or I incurr a new monthly fee with, say, my cable provider to avoid having to pay out the nose to Verizon for access to the SAME content.
Rant aside, the bottom line is this: Verizon is lying. Let me say that again, Verizon is lying about the justification for this move. It's not about equal oppotunity bandwidth, it's about Verizon realizing they can increase their revenue stream... otherwise, wouldn't those tiered folks be getting throttled as well if they "abuse" and use "inordinate" amounts of data? Oh no, of course not, Verizon just bills them more. This scenario is as ridiculous as charging $20/month for text messaging, which, by the way, is also data.
Here's an idea Verizon. Why not take some of piles of money you're making by fleecing customers with "abusive," "inordinate" fees and upgrade your network to accomodate the very scenario that you as a company have been promoting, if that is in fact the real issue at the core of this. And maybe someone in your PR department will think really hard about demonizing your users in the future for using your product in the very manner it was intended and painting us as outside the law to the bulk of your client base. This little to do with heavy data users and everything to do with $$$ and possibly the inability of Verizon to meet the service needs of a exponentially growing smartphone market that it helped to encourage.
I have gone from highly recommending Verizon as a service provider to other folks to now being dissapointed and bitter from my experience. All of this, of course, occurred without any notification to me or any kind of notice either on my online account management or in my electronic bill, as they also apparently stated would occurr. More than likely this and the new tiered billing will lead to me seeking another form of connectivity and dropping my Verizon plan options to the absolute minimum across the board or switching phone providers simply because of how insultingly this has been framed, and I suspect I'm not alone... which results in less $$$ to Verizon. Good job, guys.

Spot on _ BULLS EYE!! You aren't alone. I want to validate your rant. Verizon went out of their way to sell me the same $59.99 unlimited broadband 4 yrs ago and have now been hassling me and twisting my arm with every aggravating phone call I make to complain. I have had the throttling removed three times. This time they said we can't remove it but change your plan and you'll be at full speed immediately. I am sick and tired of the lying. They all can't even tell the same story. Just last week I was told by more than one employee that my device must be bad because they don't throttle.
Occupy Verizon would be good - How do you get these ****** to PAY - Are their any Attorneys out there - I know they originally sold THOUSANDS of those plans. I'm ******!!!!!!
A Corporation that tells lies and different stories from its employees has to be held Accountable - Financially
Give me back my $59.99 per month times 48 months and its still not enough for the hell they have put me through. My computer has been slowed to the point my mail center timed out and was unable to download important PDF Contracts. HELLO!!! Verizon - Thats money out of MY Bottom line. Get it? THX

EVA performance with ESXi 5.1

We are having problems with some of our Linux VMs going read only and Windows VMs slowing right down on our P6000 EVA. The problem tends to appear during a backup window, but sometimes during the working day under heavy periods of activity. It seems to be storage performance related. ESXi 5.1 is using round robin and there are no network issues.
Has anyone tried these advanced ESXi settings which are reported to improve performance?
(From: http://arritdor.e-wilkin.com/2012/05/vmware-esxi-and-hp-3par-storage.html)
DiskMaxIOSize = 128
QFullSampleSize = 32
QFullThreshold = 4

I think it might be beneficial to take a look at the array performance statistics. The evaperf can be found at c:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\EVA Performance Monitor if it is selected during CommandView installation. Some useful stats to collect are:
evaperf cs –cont 60 -dur 3600 -csv -ts2 -sz xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx > controller.csv
evaperf hps –cont 60 -dur 3600 -csv -ts2 -sz xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx > hostport.csv
evaperf vd –cont 60 -dur 3600 -csv -ts2 -sz xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx > vdisk.csv
evaperf pdg –cont 60 -dur 3600 -csv -ts2 -sz xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx > diskgroup.csv
evaperf pda –cont 60 -dur 3600 -csv -ts2 -sz xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx > disk.csv
where xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx is the world wide name of the array e.g. 5000–1FE1–5000–A9F0. You can probably find it on the controller LCD or some serial number label sticker at the back.
Because window server command prompt does not support running command at the background (at least I do not know how) unlike hp-ux server, you will have to open several command prompt window and run these command at the same time. Then probably zip and posted it somewhere so that we can all take a look.
the 60 here means we make one collection every 60 seconds, and -dur 3600 means for a duration of 3600 seconds which is one hour. For a start, we do not want to collect huge amount of data. We probably want to collect one set when array has no problem, and one set when array has problem, then make a comparison.

Where i can get a Cisco VMware Vsphere ESXi 4.1 update 1 installable media

Hi All,
can someone from cisco tell me how to get cisco vmware vsphere ESXi 4.1 update 1 that was certified by Cisco ?
because the last release from the vmware website still 4.1 without update 1.
http://downloads.vmware.com/d/details/esxi41_cisco_oem_iso/ZHcqYnRkdHdiZCpwcA==
Thanks.
Berwin H.

Sorry for any spelling errors:
What is working well for us, is to always get the latest ESX(i) release from vmware, apply all patches and then make sure to install the newest drivers for Cisco fnic (hba) and enic (lan) that can be found on the vmware site.
During our first UCS upgrade (we did not have installed the Cisco drivers) we experienced some issues. A lot of our VMs lost connectivity to storage for about 2-3 minutes during the reboot of the primary FI. After opening a support request at vmware and Cisco, vmware sent us a newer fnic driver, as the standard driver included in the ESX iso did not handle hba failover very well.
Since that upgrade we always keep up to date the enic and fnic drivers for Cisco UCS. They can be found on the VMWare ESX download site.
Newer drivers are also available on the Cisco UCS driver CD, but those are not yet signed by vmware, so it may be a better idea to use those tested by vmware.
Since we are handling ESX updates like this, every UCS upgrade and everything else worked like a charm and my pulse during upgrades got divided by 2
BTW: Also with other server manufacturers we could have saved us a lot of trouble if we simply had upgraded adapter drivers earlier.

Windows 2008 R2 will not install on ESXi 4.0 Update 2

Hello,
I am attempting to install Windows 2008 R2 from an iso downloaded directly from Microsoft on ESXi 4.0 update 2. The server is a C210-M2. The iso is booting to the initial install screen properly, but when electing to install I am immediately prompted with "A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing." (See attached image)
Wondering if anyone has come across this issue yet and what steps need to be taken to install the OS properly.
Thanks!

Guys,
What you want to do is ensure you have the driver loaded in virtual media when installing the OS. See step 12 in the link below from the Cisco support page.

Cisco Customized ESXi 5.5 Update 2 Image

When can we expect to see the new ESXi 5.5 Update 2 custom image? I just checked VMWare's site and I see Update 1 but not Update 2. Is there a supported/recommended method for updating UCS servers to ESXi 5.5 Update 2 in the mean time?
Thanks

1) use this utility to figure out which enic / fnic is required. eg.for ESXi 5.5 U2
Adapter Driver = 1.6.0.12 (FNIC) / 2.1.2.59 (ENIC)
Adapter Firmware = 2.2(3)
http://www.cisco.com/web/techdoc/ucs/interoperability/matrix/matrix.html
2) Install ESXi 5.5 U2, regular iso (Non OEM version) from VMware website
3) get the above fnic / enic driver from ISO image of UCS-related drivers
ucs-bxxx-drivers.2.1.3d.iso
4) update the fnic/enic driver either manually with CLI or VUM.

Streaming problems with C7000 40 inches samsung led tv for netflix and utube

hi
i have led 40 inch c7000 samsung tv. first 3 days i dont have any issues for netflix and utube streaming.
after three days problems started for streaming. intermittently disconnecting .
i thought it is problem with wireless router and i bought linksys E3000 series wireless router but still the problem exists.
please let me know is there any problem with tv

Is it disconnecting or buffering (where it has to wait for the stream to catch up)? If it is buffereing it may have to do with time of day and what source you are using. I was playing around with Amazon Video on Demand Saturday night and while trying to watch an HD preview there was a lot of buffereing going on, when we rented a movie today (Sunday early afternoon) the movie didn't buffer once. In doing some research on various video on demand services it appears some of them have streaming issues based on time of day (Friday and Saturday nights). There could also be an issue with your internet service provider. Depending on what level of service you have your connect speed may not be fast enough so that at times it works, but when their network is busy they throttle your connection speed down and you get buffering.
If you were watching over this past weekend, there were probably a lot of people firing up their new TV's/blu ray players and streaming video (Amazon and Vudu are both handing out credits for new subscribers) which could have slowed things down.
Do you have a computer hooked up wirelessly to the router? If you do Vudu has a speed test website (google "Vudu speed test") that does an extended download which will give you a good idea of your average download speed. When I have tried it at different times of the day it has given different results. Vudu also has info on what speeds you need for different qualities of video streaming.

Same management network for ESXi and UCSM?

We would like to be able to use the same management network for the UCSM management interfaces and as the management network for VMs running on our blades. For example, we'd like to have the management pool for UCSM from 1.1.1.0 and the VM ESXi management network also be on 1.1.1.0.
From what I can tell, the mangement network on UCSM is physically separate in chassis from the traffic needed to reach the blade mezzanine cards, correct? So being able to route to the UCSM management network doesn't mean we'll be able to route to the mezzanine interfaces if they use that same network.
Since our management network (1.1.1.0) is on physically different infrastructure than our data network (2.2.2.0), we're trying to have our 6120 uplink to switches with different views of the network, two for data and one for mgmt. However, the 6120 wants to allow all vlans created on all uplinks, and this isn't working.
A picture of what we're trying to do would look like this.
Is this achievable?
