CSCvg76918 - Incompatible Bios Policy Setting warning after assigning dynamic vnic

[Tadeusz Nedza]

Hi guys,

As per UCS help itself - there are no BIOS Defaults for M5 blades - instead tokens are used

More details: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/ucs-manager/Reference-Docs/Server-BIOS-Tokens/3-2/b_UCS_BIOS_Tokens.html

BUT: There is no default token for:

Intel VTD pass through DMA support

BIOS Policy shows "Platform Default", but we cannot verify what is the default token for B200-M5 blade.

I'd be glad if anybody could help.

Regards,

Ted

I am having the same issue here. Do we have here any news? There are two settings where the default value is not shown:

• Intel VTD interrupt Remapping - Enabled not listed in UCS BIOS Tokens
• Intel VTD pass through DMA support - Enabled not listed in UCS BIOS Tokens

This may or may not help but thought I would share.

I was trying to add a vlan in UCS 4.1 and received non fatal message:  Incompatible Bios Policy Settings for SRIOV vNICs on M5 blades

Issue: When adding a vlan to the UCS vNIC templates 

Receiving 'Non fatal message' --> Incompatible Bios Policy Settings for SRIOV vNICs on M5 blades.

Resolution steps taken:
1.) Created an new template for M5 blades by cloning the 'existing' template.
2.) Per Bug fix----> https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCvg76918
Modified the SRIOV settings under (Policies - root- Bios Policies - SRIOV)
'Advanced' tab - 'Processor' tab for this one --->Intel Virtualization Technology -Enabled
'Advanced' tab - 'Intel Directed IO' tab for all the below.
Intel VTD ATS support - Enabled
Intel VTD coherency support - Disabled
Intel VT for directed IO - Enabled
Intel VTD interrupt Remapping - Enabled
Intel VTD pass through DMA support - Enabled
3.) Unbinded all the Cisco B200 M5 blades from the existing UCS template.
4.) Binded all the Cisco B200 M5 blades to the 'new M5' UCS template.

Added vlan without errors. No reboot required. Yeah!!
