UCS Server Co-residency question

Hello,
We are planning a UCS deployment with a mix of Cisco UC and non-Cisco VMs.  Some of our apps support full co-residency, while others support UC with UC only.
For the UC with UC only, I assume that is only per UCS blade?  I can put non-Cisco VMs within the same vCenter data center, as long as they are on separate physical blades (same chassis)?
Thanks, Bill

Correct, on B-series that is per blade.

  • CUCM - UCS Server Replacement

    Hi All,
    We have installed CUCM 9.1.2 on UCS 220-M3 server (standby hardware). Now we are going to replace the UCS server.
    Has any other vmware method or tool available to migrate the virtual machines one UCS to another UCS ? { VM's are resided in DAS) ?

    Technically, Cisco only supports it if using shared storage- http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Unified_Communications_VMware_Requirements#VMware_vMotion
    But it usually works fine from a technical standpoint. Just might not get support if something goes wrong with the migration.

  • Error message of MAC flapping for CCM-UC installed in UCS server

    Dear All,
    I have a strange issue, I have the 2 UCS servers setup with CCM & unity Connection running on each server on PUB - SUB mode.
    I'm getting following error message on the Switch where the UCS server Connects.
    I'm unable to trace why we are getting this error message, There is no problem with accessing CCM or UC, also the Phone & Voice mail seem to working.

    Hello,
    I believe you'll get better answer at:
    "https://supportforums.cisco.com/search.jspa?peopleEnabled=true&userID=&containerType=14&container=2003&spotlight=true&q=UCS"
    my best guess is to check the LAN config on the UCS. It seems its trying to load balance the traffic in Active-Active rather than Active-Standby.

  • Mixing BE6000 UCS Server and "normal" UCS server in the same deployment

    Hello,
    I have been handed a project which has one high density BE6000 UCS server and a separate UCS C220 M3 server. The latter server was included to host a MediaSense call recording system but this will only use 2 of the available 8 vCPUs on the UCS C220 M3 server.
    The total number of users is 200.
    I want to implement a resilient system and so would like deploy two servers in a cluster for each of the following applications:
    CUCM 10.5
    Unity Connection 10.5
    IM & Presence 10.5
    As well as these applications there will be UCCX 10.6 and Cisco Unified Attendant Console Advanced (10.5) but these will be deployed as single servers.
    Looking at the UCS servers they have capacity for me to split the CUCM/CUC/IMP clusters between them.
    I cannot see any technical reason why this will not work but do not want to be caught by any Cisco support policies.
    If I were to implement the system in this way would there be any issues with the deployment or getting support from TAC.
    The separate UCS C220 M3 server has 8 x 8GB RAM (64 total) and 8 x 300GB HDD plus a quad Ethernet card.

    James first of all I am not sure I understand your query in detail. Do you mean you have two UCS220 M3 servers? and one of them is currently running BE6000?
    Having said that, the key here is to carefully plan your deployment against the capacity of the servers you have,.
    Eg..Deploying 200 Users, using the ff OVA
    UCS 220 M3 server 1: (using default TRC ie 8vCPU with 8GB per vCPU)
    Publisher (2500 cucm OVA): 1vCPU (6GB RAM), 80GB HD
    IMP-Publisher (1,000 OVA) :1vCPU(2GB RAM), 80GB HD
    CUC-publisher (1,000 users OVA) :2vCPU(6GB)--NB 1vCPU is reserved for ESXI, 160GB HD
    UCCX-Master: (300 agent OVA): 2 vCPU (8GB) and 292GB HDD
    With this placement you have a total of 22GB RAM and 612HDD used up

  • Oracle 11g - Solaris 10 on cisco UCS server

    I would like to know if anyone has experience with installing Oracle databases on cisco UCS servers.  I recently took over a dba shop and my client has purchased a cisco UCS server and is planning on migrating some databases currently on dedicated servers running on Solaris 10 and others running on Linux RH 5.4 platforms.  I need to find out if Oracle 11g and Solaris 10 is compatible and covered by Oracle licenses.  Does anyone have any specs and/or information on this topic?  Thanks in advance.
    Jonathan Begazo-Leon

    Jonathan,
    there's a dedicated Oracle database forum (Database) where you can post your issue. In this forum here only 3rd party to Oracle migrations using the Oracle tools migration workbench or SQL Developer will be covered. As I can't move your thread, please close this one here and post your issue again in the database forum.

  • RAID 1 is not showing in UCS Server configuration utility

    Hi,
    I have a UCS Server C200 M2 Rack Mount and planning to install Windows 2008 R2 server in it. To make it High Available, i m configuring RAID 1 in it.
    I can easily configure RAID from BIOS setup and after rebooting it shows me that the RAID 1 is found and Online in status.
    Once I insert the Cisco UCS Server Configuration Utility 2.0 CD and try to check the RAID Configuration, it show me error message "SCU is unable to detect a RAID controller in the server"
    If I move further to install OS then during installation setup gets hang and system reboots.
    I attached the screen shot for review and help.
    Kindly advise!
    Thanks,
    Aman

    Hi Aman,
    Can you download the Driver package from
    http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/release.html?mdfid=283860950&flowid=25801&softwareid=283291009&os=Windows%202008%20R2%20(x64)&release=1.3(1.1)&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=latest
    And extract w2k8r2_intich10r_13.21.0614.2010.zip for the Intel ICH10R integrated RAID controller.
    Try Browsing to this Driver either from the SCU or during the direct OS reinstall and make sure
    "Hide drivers that are not compatible with hardware on this computer" is unchecked to be able to point to the Driver
    I assume you are seeing the problem as described in the RAID configuration issues in
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/ts/guide/TS_2Server.html
    Installing   Windows 2008 64-bit and RAID controller had issues.
    LSI   drivers are not bundled in Windows 2008 64-bit. These must be installed   during the installation process. During the install process, if the hard   drives fail to be detected, use the load driver option to point the drives to   the correct drivers for the LSI controller in the system. The drivers can be   loaded using a USB drive. When loaded, the hard drives are displayed and the   hard drive for the OS can be selected.
    Please let me know how the installation goes.

  • UCS Server CPU Allocation

    Dear Guys...
    As i am aware aabout UCS server and UCS system..
    one physicla cpu is equal to virtual cpu...
    but as i seen many application that having more that 6 cpu need i want to run on one UCS sever...how can adjust the cpu for them?
    As i have given the BOQ below, it is having 2 servers and 4 CPU but i need to isntall many application:
    CUCM
    CCUCN
    CCX

  • Can we install PGW 2200 Softswitch on UCS Server?

    Dear friend.
    I intend to build a backup system for my customer using PGW2200 Softswitch.
    I have read that it should be install on Sun Netra X4270 platform. So can I install it on UCS server? Have anybody have experence in this system.
    Thanks for your time
    Vinh Phan

    On UCS server it supported 9.1 and after named as vPGW. So you have to install Solaris OS first and top it vPGW application .
    Any degraded version would not supported on UCS server.

  • Monitoring on UCS server (ESXi)

    Hello all,
    I am wondering normally how we monitor UCS server( I mean ESXi).
    The virual machine could be monitoring via SNMP.
    vCenter could provide us system status.  
    Could we set up SNMP on VMWare ESXi ?  So we could monitor through HP Openview etc.
    Thanks a lot,
    Howard

    Hi,
    I'm not sure if HP openview is supported, but you can refer to the UCS SNMP and MIB configuration guides below:

  • What is the procedure of Call Manager upgrade from version CUCM 7.1 (MCS Server) to version CUCM 10.2 (on UCS server)

    Hi
    What is the procedure of Call Manager upgrade from version CUCM 7.1 (MCS Server)  to version CUCM 10.2 (on UCS server) , please let me know the steps to what would be the backup procedures and upgrades.
    Regards
    Gaurav

    I'd suggest reading this guide to make sure you have prepared your environment to support 10.x first. The link below also contains the upgrade path to 10.0(1).
    One of the ways you can do this is:
    1/ Apply refresh upgrade cop file on all servers in cluster.
    2/ Upgrade the cluster to 8.6(2). Take a backup of the cluster.
    3/ Build a cluster of 8.6(2) servers on VMs, and assign them the same hostnames and IP address as the hardware cluster. (You may need to keep these on a separate network until switching off the hardware machines)
    4/ Restore the backup taken from the hardware cluster on to the VM cluster.
    5/ Upgrade VM cluster to 10.0(1).

    We are currently in the process of migrating out vmware infrastructure from HP to UCS.  We are utilizing the Virtual Connect Adapters for the project.  With the migration we also plan on implementing the cisco nexus v1000 in our environment.  I have demo equipment setup and have had a chance to install a test environment, but still have a few design questions.
    When implementing the new setup, what is a good base setup for the virtual connect adapters with the v1000?  How many Nics should I dedicate?  Right now I run 6 nics per server (2 console, 2 Virtual Machines, and 2 Vmotion).  Is this a setup I should continue with going forward?  The only other thing I am looking to implement is another set of nics for nfs access.  In a previous setup at a different job, we had 10 nics per server (2 console, 4 virtual machines, 2 vmotion and 2 iSCSI).  Is there any kind of standard for this setup?
    The reason I am asking is I want to get the most out of my vmware environment as we will be looking to migrate Tier 1 app servers once we get everything up and running.
    Thanks for the help!

    Tim,
    Migrating from HP Virtual Connect (VC) -> UCS might change your network design slightly, for the better of course .  Not sure if you're using 1G or 10G VC modules but I'll respond as if you've using 10G modules because this is what UCS will provide. VC modules provide a 10G interface that you can logically chop up into a max of 4 host vNIC interfaces totaling 10G. Though it's handy to divide a single 10G interfaces into virtual NICs for Service Console, VMotion, iSCSI etc, this creates the opportunity for wasted bandwidth.  The logical NICs VC creates provides a max limit of bandwidth to the adapter.  For example if create a 2GB interface for your host to use for vMotion, then 2G of your 10G pipe is wastes when there's no vMotions taking place!
    UCS & 1000v offer a different solution in terms of bandwidth utilization by means of QoS.  We feel it's more appropriate to specifiy a "minimum" bandwidth guarantee rather than a hard upper limit - leading to wasted pipe.  Depending on which UCS blade and mezz card option you have, the # of adapters you can present to the Host varies.  B200 blades can support one mezz card (with 2 x 10G interfaces) while the B250 and B440 are full width blades and support 2 Mezz cards.  In terms of Mezz cards now, there's the Intel/Emulex/Qlogic/Broamcom/Cisco VIC options.  In my opinion the M81KR (VIC) is best suited for virtualized environments as you can present up to 56 virtual interfaces to the host, each having various levels of QoS applied.  When you roll the 1000v into the mix you have a lethal combination of adding some of the new QoS features that automatically match traffic types such as Service Console, iSCSI, VMotion etc.  See this thread for a list/explanation of new features coming in the next verison of 1000v due out in a couple weeks https://www.myciscocommunity.com/message/61580#61580
    Before you think about design too much, tell us what blades & adapters you're using and we can offer some suggestions for setting them up in the best configuration for your virtual infrastructure.
    Regards,
    Robert
    BTW - Here's a couple Best Practice Guides with UCS & 1000v that you might find useful.

  • Mdt 2012 + WDS service on the same server. DHCP question

    Hi,
    I am using MDT 2012 on Server 2008.
    Boot images are placed on 6 years old WDS server running on 2003.
    I need to remove WDS server (2003).
    Cannot find exact instructions for enabling PXE for MDT2012.
    I don't need introduction guides. But clear few lines of instructions.
    From quickly checking web I understand that I need:
    1. install WDS services on the same MDT2012 server 2008.
    2. import Lite Touch boot images from Deployment Share
    The only point I am missing is DHCP question. In Microsoft prerequisites for WDS services, DHCP should be present on the same server were WDS is...
    I watched one video on web and the guy just installs WDS on the MDT server and not mentioning DHCP at all.
    Sure that there is DHCP server serving multiple subnets on the network.
    My confusion about DHCP on WDS prerequisite comes from not having DHCP services installed on old WDS 2003 machine.
    So why it is required on WDS service in server 2008/2012?
    Can somebody confirm that DCHP must exist on the same server were MDT and WDS services are enabled.
    And is it a valid option to have all 3 on one Server machine if DHCP is really needed for enabling PXE in MDT environment?
    I saw the info about ports 67 (should be disabled) and 60 for PXE enabled.
    Will appreciate DHCP part explanation and how to...
    Thanks.
    "When you hit a wrong note it's the next note that makes it good or bad". Miles Davis

    RL69,
    in my environment DHCP serves multiple subnets. For now no need to serve client machines on different subnets. The Deployments will be done on subnet were MDT resides. If necessary PXE relay could be enabled on Core switch (or where necessary).
    So if I understand correctly for a scenario above all what I need to do for PXE enabled MDT is:
    to add WDS role/service on the same MDT server and import boot images.
    Right?
    Will do it right after your confirmation :)

  • Re: future UCS server models for UCCE post-release 9

    Hi,
    My customer is currently in the process of deploying UCCE 9.5 release on UCS C220 server model. They were asking what's the typical life cycles for our UC on UCS servers such as C220, C240, C260 etc. so that when the next releases (UCCE 10, 11, etc.) of UCCE systems become available, if they can still be run on the same C series platforms.
    I know this is a roadmap question, but it will be great to have some general guidelines about our life span of UCS servers for UCCE.

    Awesome!!  Thanks for the heads up. Just downloaded and we are planning to upgrade during next MSCU cycle (May 13th).  I'll let you guys know how it goes.
    It doesn't look like there is a new driver ISO available.  Normal download location has only the 1.4(1g) release listed.  Is that still the most recent driver bundle?

  • Windows 2008 Server Co-residency BE6000/BE7000/TRCs/Specs-Based.

    Hey,
    I'm trying to figure out where I can run a Windows 2008 R2 server:
    BE6000: seems like no based on http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/BE6000/Coresidency/9_x/BE6K_coRes.html
    BE7000: the data sheet has a "Co-residency Policy" link that provides no information on co-residency. I'm assuming yes and that there is no similar list as for the BE6000.
    TRCs: I assume yes
    Specs-based: I assume yes.
    It would be nice if this was corralled into a single location.
    Thanks for any answers.

    If you run 6K/7k over HYP or FND license, then yes, the above link applies to both. Not sure if you can also buy either license with TRC or spec-based TRC, if so, then they also fall under the guidelines from the link.
    If you run any of the above options over VMware std, ent, or ent+ license, general co-res guidelines from virtualization wiki apply.
