VN-Link Hardware require Nexus 1000v yes or not?

I have a problem about VN-Link Hardware. When i create port profile on UCS Manager and Create Port Profile Client then vCenter will create Port Group too. But when i apply network in Virtual Machine by select Port Group in vCenter i can't see Virtual Maching Guest in VM tab on UCS Manager.
Finally question VN-Link Hardware require Nexus 1000v install on ESX yes or not? in UCS Manager GUI document say need require DVS Switch.

Thank you for reply. I have successfully turn on VN-Link hardware by follow this video --> http://tinyurl.com/23p896k
and i have install Nexus 1000v VEM in ESX for turn on VN-Link hardware.
I need test performance of CNA Card (palo) and report to my CEO.
- How to test it?
- What is tool for test?
PS.Sorry for English language

  • Nexus 1000v repo is not available

    Hi everyone.
    Cisco Yum repo for nexus 1000v is not available at the moment. I am wondering, is it Ok and Cisco finished it experiment with free Nexus1k or I need to contact someon (who?) to ask him to fix this problem.
    PS Link to the repo: https://cnsg-yum-server.cisco.com/yumrepo

    Let's set the record straight here - to avoid confusion.
    1. VEMs will continue to forward traffic in the event one or both VSM are unavailable - this requires the VEM to remain online and not reboot while both VSMs are offline. VSM communication is only required for config changes (and LACP negociation prior to 1.4)
    2.  If there is no VSM reachable, and a VEM is reboot, only then will the System VLANs go into a forwarding state.  All other non-system VLANs will remain down. This is to faciliate the Chicken & Egg theory of a VEM being able to initially communicate with a VSM to obtain its programming.
    The ONLY VLANs & vEth Profiles that should be set as system vlans are:
    1000v-Control
    1000v-Packet
    Service Console/VMkernel for Mgmt
    IP Storage (iSCSI or NFS)
    Everything else should not be defined as a system VLAN including VMotion - which is a common Mistake.
    **Remember that for a vEth port profile to behave like a system profile, it must be define on BOTH the vEth and Eth port profiles.  Two factor check.  This allows port profiles that maybe are not critical, yet share the same VLAN ID to behave differently.
    There are a total of 16 profiles that can include system VLANs.  If you exceed this, you can potentially run into issues with the Opaque data pushed from vCenter is truncated causing programming errors on your VEMs.  Adhering to the limitations above should never lead to this situation.

  • Nexus 1000v Layer3 Control not coming up

    For info, I run 4.2(1)SV1(4) as a VM and not the appliance.
    I tried this morning to migrate a small environment to the Nexus L3 control instead of L2 for a certain requirement. We have two ESX in the with the Nexus 1000v running sucessfully for months on L2.
    I tried to follow the procedure that is in this document. I followed this script:
    Created a layer3 control0 interface with an IP in vlan951.
    So I had my VMWare guy move a VMKernel interface of each ESX host to this profile:
    port-profile type vethernet VLAN951
      vmware port-group VLAN951
      capability l3control
      switchport mode access
      switchport access vlan 951
      system vlan 951
      no shutdown
      state enabled
    Then modified the svs domain like such:
    svs-domain
    no control vlan
    no packet vlan
    svs mode 13 interface control0
    I made sure that I have layer-2 connectivity between the VSM host and the rest ESX hosts is OK, but I am not certain how you actually assign a layer 2 vlan to the control0 interface... Is it supposed to broadcast on all the VLANs? Or is it a correlation of the port-profile config and svs-domain that does that?
    In any case, my two VEM go down and do not come back up once I am in l3 mode. I had to revert back to L2.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Simon T.

    Hi Simon,
    Since you are using ctrl0 as the layer 3 interface, you need to assign the IP address under the ctrl0 interface (interface ctrl0). This IP address should be able to communicate with the vmk interface's IP address.

    Hi,
    I plan to deploy an Advanced VPLS (A-VPLS) to interconnect two Data Centers consisting in one VSS1440 at each site, which are going to be connected via two Gigabit DWDM links.  According with the documentation, every Cat6500 box should include a SIP-400 for VPLS processing, but I still have the following question:
    The Restrictions for L2VPN Advanced VPLS section of the L2VPN Advanced VPLS guide states the following:
    /* Style Definitions */
    table.MsoNormalTable
    {mso-style-name:"Table Normal";
    mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0;
    mso-tstyle-colband-size:0;
    mso-style-noshow:yes;
    mso-style-priority:99;
    mso-style-qformat:yes;
    mso-style-parent:"";
    mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt;
    mso-para-margin:0cm;
    mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt;
    line-height:115%;
    mso-pagination:widow-orphan;

    mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;
    mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;
    mso-fareast-language:EN-US;}
    The L2VPN Advanced VPLS feature supports the following line cards and shared port adapters (SPAs):
    -          7600-SIP-400 (core facing)
    -          Gigabit and 10-gigabit Ethernet SPAs (2X1GE-V1, 2X1GE-V2 and 1X10GE-V2 SPA)
    According to this, should I include SIP-400 SPAs (models like 2X1GE-V1 or 2X1GE-V2) in every SIP-400 to connect the gigabitehternet DWDM VPLS core facing links?
    Or can i take advantage of any existing gigabit ports included in the SUP720-10G  for that purpose?
    Regards in advance.

    Hi,
    I think as per documents, You can only accomplish A-VPLS by using SIP-400 with above SPA.

  • Nexus 1000v vsm secondary not recognized

    I deployed the seondary vsm but when it came up the primary vsm still does not recognize that there is a standby.
    I went through the ovf and selected seondary and only entered the vsm domain id and the admin password.
    after the power on the master did not see the secondary
    any idea?

    Hi Tony,
    In order for this VSM to see its peer, you need to configure it for system redundancy role Primary. 
    As shown in the output, it is currently running in standalone mode.
    Once we reconfigure the first deployed VSM as primary, the two VSMs should see each other (given they have L2 connectivity)
    Nexus1000v# show system redundancy status
    Redundancy role
          administrative:   standalone
             operational:   standalone
    Redundancy mode
          administrative:   HA
             operational:   None
    This supervisor (sup-1)
        Redundancy state:   Active
        Supervisor state:   Active
          Internal state:   Active with no standby
    Other supervisor (sup-2)
        Redundancy state:   Not present
    Nexus1000v# con
    Nexus1000v(config)# system redundancy role primary
    After this change, the VSMs will negotiate and the secondary will reboot. When the secondary comes back up, we should see that they have paired.
    Nexus1000v(config)# show redundancy status
    Redundancy role
          administrative:   primary

  • Cisco Nexus 1000V InterCloud

    Need download link for Cisco Nexus 1000V InterCloud

    We had a simliar issue with 5.2(1)SV3(1.3) and found this in the release notes:
    ERSPAN
    If the ERSPAN source and destination are in different subnets, and if the ERSPAN source is an L3 control VM kernel NIC attached to a Cisco Nexus 1000V VEM, you must enable proxy-ARP on the upstream switch.
    If you do not enable proxy-ARP on the upstream switch (or router, if there is no default gateway), ERSPAN packets are not sent to the destination.
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus1000/sw/5_x/release_notes/b_Cisco_N1KV_VMware_521SV313_ReleaseNotes.html#concept_652D9BADC4B04C0997E7F6C29A2C8B1F
    After enabling 'ip proxy-arp' on the upstream SVI it started working properly.

  • Nexus 1010 Virtual Services Appliance and VN-Link Hardware

    All,
    We are deploying the Nexus 1010 Virtual Services Appliance for the purpose of using the Network Analysis Module (NAM).  The 1010 hosts the VSM's necessary to deploy the 1000v switch in ESX.  We would also like to use VN-Link in hardware whereby we "bypass" the virtual switch and use the 6120's for the switching.  What I need to know is can the 1010 still analyze the network traffic using VN-Link hardware?  VN-Link hardware doesn't appear to need a VSM so I am thinking the 1010 cannot monitor the traffic since there will be no 1000v to "attach" to.  Can anyone shed some light on this?
    Regards,
    Ken

    Ken
    The NAM module present in the 1010 is not exclusive for Nexus1000v traffic.
    Its there as part of an appliance which happens to be the VSM (1000v) and is configured on its own.
    If you look at the Nexus1000v, the VSM (which is the 1010 and holds the NAM in this case) is *not* part of the VM data path.
    It is looked up for initial virtual port (veth) instantiation but after that traffic doesn't go through it.
    So to send VM data traffic to the NAM module for analysis, some other mechanism (like ERSPAN) is used to route data traffic from VM's to it.
    The Nexus 1000v support ERSPAN.
    Same logic applies that you have a NAM module somewhere else - the 1000v can send traffic to it via ERSPAN.
    Looking at VN-link in hardware - It does have a VSM which is the FI itself.
    The veth in this case is on the FI.
    If the FI did support ERSPAN (which it doesn't currently) you could use the same NAM module or any other NAM module to send traffic to it.
    So its not a limitation of VN-link in hw switching methodology vs 1000v switching, but the fact that the FI doesn't support an "export" mechanism yet.
    Hope it help
    Thanks

  • ISE Hardware Requirements

    Cisco's docs are not providing the information in regards to ISE hardware requirements.  I am looking at 3 different documents and see 3 different requirements.
    Does anyone have the tried an true numbers for the ISE deployment?  Specifically for the PSN?
    Also, i there a hardware restrictions on the servers that can be used in the event the customer decides to go with their own hardware rather than using VM?
    thanks for any assistance anyone can offer.
    Mike
    Received answer from Cisco...
    Posting in case anyone else needs this info
    Your Question:
    If I am using a distributed deployment, for example, running 1 node as admin and monitoring, another node for PSN, would I need 250gb disk space for each node?  Or would I use a shared 250gb disk space on a storage server?
    Answer:
    As you informed that you are " running 1 node as admin and monitoring, another node for PSN, would I need 250gb disk space for each node ", so YES each node will have individual 250Gb of space.
    Now the node running as admin and monitoring would have to share the 250Gb available on the ISE on which they would be implemented.
    Your Question:
    Additionally, say I were to scale and create 2 admin nodes, and 4 PSNs, how would the disk space work in that case?
    Answer:
    As the 2 Admin nodes would be on individual ISE hardware appliance, so individually they would have 250Gb of space and if the 4 PSN are also the same ISE hardware, then each PSN would have it's own 250Gb space.
    Your Question:
    If however, the admin node and PSN were on the same chassis, different VM (if supported) how would the disk space work then?
    Answer:
    If the VM used for the above scenario is only one and is configured according/equivalent to ISE hardware appliance, then the space mentioned (250Gb as example) would be shared between the two persona's.

  • Nexus 1000v VEM module bouncing between hosts

    I'm receiving these error messages on my N1KV and don't know how to fix it.  I've tried removing, rebooting, reinstalling host B's VEM but that did not fix the issue.  How do I debug this?
    My setup,
    Two physical hosts running esxi 5.1, vcenter appliance, n1kv with two system uplinks and two uplinks for iscsi for each host.  Let me know if you need more output from logs or commands, thanks.

  • Nexus 1000V and strange ping behavior

    Hi ,
    I am using a Nexus 1000v a FI 6248 with a Nexus 5K in redundant architecture and I have a strange bevahior with VMs.
    I am using  port-profiles without any problems but in one case I have this issue
    I have 2 VMs assigned to the same port profile
    When the 2 Vms are on the same esx I can ping (from a VM)  the gateway and the other VM, now when I move one of the VM to an other ESX (same chassis or not).
    From both , I can ping the gateway, a remote IP but VMs are unreachable between them.
    and a remote PC are able to ping both Vms.
    I checked the mac table, from N5k it's Ok , from FI 6348 it's Ok , but from N1K I am unable to see the mac address of both VMs.
    Why I tried ( I performed at each step a clear mac table)
        Assign to an other vmnic , it works.
        On UCS I moved it to an other vmnic , it works
        On UCS I Changed the QOS policy , it works.
        I reassigned it , and I had the old behavior
        I checked all trunk links it's ok
    So i didn't understand why I have this strange behavior and how I can troubleshoot it deeper?
    I would like if possible to avoid to do that but the next step will be to create a new vmnic card and assign the same policy and after to suppress the vnmic and to recreate the old one.
    Regards

    From what you mentioned here's my thoughts.
    When the two VMs are on the same host, they can reach each other.  This is because they're locally switching in the VEM so this doesn't tell us much other than the VEM is working as expected.
    When you move one of the VMs to a different UCS ESX host, the path changes.    Let's assume you've moved one VM to a different host, within the UCS system.
    UCS-Blade1(Host-A) - VM1
    UCS-Blade2(Host-B) - VM2
    There are two paths option from VM1 -> VM2
    VM1 -> Blade1 Uplink -> Fabric Interconnect A -> Blade 2 Uplink -> VM2
    or
    VM1-> Blade1 Uplink -> Fabric Interconnect A -> Upstream Switch -> Fabric Interconnect B -> Blade 2 Uplink -> VM2
    For the two options I've seen many instances were the FIRST option works fine, but the second doesn't.  Why?  Well as you can see option 1 has a path from Host A to FI-A and back down to Host B.  In this path there's no northbound switching outside of UCS.  This would require both VMs to be be pinned to the Hosts Uplink going to the same Fabric Interconnect. 
    In the second option if the path involves going from Host-A up to FI-A, then northbound to the upstream switch, then back down eventually to FI-B  and then Host-B. When this path is taken, if the two VMs can't reach each other then you have some problem with your upstream switches.  If both VMs reside in the same subnet, it's a Layer2 problem.  If they're in different subnets, then it's a Layer 2 or 3 problem somewhere north of UCS.
    So knowing this - why did manual pinning on the N1K fix your problem?  What pinning does is forces a VM to a particular uplink.  What likely happened in your case is you pinned both VMs to Host Uplinks that both go to the same UCS Fabric Interconnect (avoiding having to be switched northbound).  Your original problem still exists, so you're not clear out of the woods yet.
    Ask yourself is - Why are just these two VMs affected.   Are they possibly the only VMs using a particular VLAN or subnet?
    An easy test to verify the pinning to to use the command below.  "x" is the module # for the host the VMs are running on.
    module vem x execute vemcmd show port-old
    I explain the command further in another post here -> https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/3717261#3717261.  In your case you'll be looking for the VM1 and VM2 LTL's and finding out which SubGroup ID they use, then which SG_ID belongs to whch VMNIC.
    I bet your find the manual pinning "that works" takes the path from each host to the same FI. If this is the case, look northbound for your L2 problem.

    Robert

    The requirements depend on the operating system and the database used for the installation.
    Go to http://service.sap.com/instguides -> SAP Netweaver -> Release 04 -> Installation -> SAP Web AS -> SAP Web AS 6.40 SR1 and Related Documentation -> Choose your database (Ex: Oracle ) -> Planning and Preparation -> Select SAP Web AS ABAP for Windows.
    Look at Page 37, minimum RAM is 1 GB (because XI is Unicode), ABAP system 25GB.
    You should check the same for Web AS Java also.
    one more small thought...
    You also need to find the how the end user will access your system. In case an end user access outside of the LAN (say via WAN or dial-up) using https, it will have additional requirements for your hardware as you will need compression enabled for improved response time for WAN. Adding compression or SSL may add additional hardware if you based your sizing based on LAN.
    And also One easy approach is after you define your test case, run some load test on your QA/Staging system. Use the load test data and find out the hardware requirements based on load test. If your requirement is larger than the staging system, you may have to take a staged approach. In that case you roll-out the system to a certain number of users and monitor the system and plan for additional users based on the monitored results.
    Also for RAM memory, HDD size you can check this document:

  • Nexus 1000v, VMWare ESX and Microsoft SC VMM

    Hi,
    Im curious if anybody has worked up any solutions managing network infrastructure for VMWare ESX hosts/vms with the Nexus 1000v and Microsoft's System Center Virtual Machine Manager.
    There currently exists support for the 1000v and ESX and SCVMM using the Cisco 1000v software for MS Hyper-V and SCVMM.   There is no suck support for VMWare ESX.
    Im curious as to what others with VMWare, Nexus 1000v or equivalent and SCVMM have done to work around this issue.
    Trying to get some ideas.
    Thanks

    Aaron,
    The steps you have above are correct, you will need steps 1 - 4 to get it working correctly.  Normally people will create a separate VLAN for their NLB interfaces/subnet, to prevent uncessisary flooding of mcast frames within the network.
    To answer your questions
    1) I've seen multiple customer run this configuration
    2) The steps you have are correct
    3) You can't enable/disable IGMP snooping on UCS.  It's enabled by default and not a configurable option.  There's no need to change anything within UCS in regards to MS NLB with the procedure above.  FYI - the ability to disable/enable IGMP snooping on UCS is slated for an upcoming release 2.1.
    This is the correct method untill the time we have the option of configuring static multicast mac entries on
    the Nexus 1000v.  If this is a feature you'd like, please open a TAC case and request for bug CSCtb93725 to be linked to your SR. 
    This will give more "push" to our develpment team to prioritize this request.
    Hopefully some other customers can share their experience.

    Robert

    Hi,
    go to [http://service.sap.com/bosap-support] and navigate to Documentation->Supported Platforms->BusinessObjects XI 3.1
    Keep in mind that what you see there are the minimum HW requirements. And if you are planing on deploying BOBJ on a virtual machine, make sure that it gets enough CPU and RAM and that the disk I/O on the host has a decent throughput.
