Hi,
is already opened.
greetings
Falk
Can you please share the SR number. We will look into it.
Hi,
here is the case id: 636367361
thanks
Falk
I don’t really have a local web server that I can use. Do you have a public web server URL that hosts the file? If not, does anyone have some simple instructions to put the file on IIS or a simple tool to where I don’t have to install an IIS server?
Hi, my case id is 636409505<https://tools.cisco.com/ServiceRequestTool/scm/mgmt/case/srsubmit?srId=636409505>. Thank you!
Hi Puneet,
This isn't really a fix for the problem, it's a workaround.
In vSphere 6 you should not need to specifically enter the 9443 port as everything is reverse proxied through the machine_ssl cert on the vCenter server appliance.
When will this plugin be updated to be fully compatible with vSphere 6? You can't say that the plugin works properly if it causes errors when you access the VS6 web client at the default URL.
Regards,
- Brian
Hi Brian, Yes, Its a workaround. The fix will be available in the next release. Thanks, Vaibhav
Thanks for the update
One final question - I'm attempting to connect to the KVM console of a blade server and I'm getting a message about "Not able to launch KVM. The IP address to reach this server is not set."
When I look in UCS Manager I can see that the Management IP address is set (using a pool, but not the default IP pool ext-mgmt). We have 96 servers and there are 96 IPs in the pool. Connecting via the UCSM interface or the KVM interface works fine.
What address is the plugin trying to contact that the IP address for the KVM server is not set? The one assigned (or not assigned in this case) to the physical blade (i.e. in ext-mgmt) as opposed to the service profile managed IP?
Hi,
I have successfully installed plugin 1.1.1 to vSphere 5.5 Update 3, its working fine with read only account on UCS domain. Its able to detect ESX and Non-Esx Blades but when checking the ESX blades, its not able to show the ESX blades however it has Non ESX blades details.
Anyone seen this problem before ? any workaround or suggestion.
Regards,
Naren
Hi Narendra, I am not able to understand the issue here. Are you saying that when you click on ESX blades, you do not see any data. Regards, Vaibhav
Hi
There are two issues:
1. Chassis view shows two type of blades. It shows underneath non ESX blades but it doesn't shows ESX blades.
2. After installation and config of the plugin, it just work for the user who configured the UCS plugin and doesn't work for all the users. Even changing the browser for user who configured it it stops showing the UCS domains.
Regards,
Narendra
1. Are you saying that your ESXi blades are shown under non-ESXi blades? If yes, can you let us know the UCSM version? We need logs as well.
Windows: C:\ProgramData\vmware\vSphere Web Client\serviceability\logs\vsphere_client_virgo.log
VCenter Appliance/Linux: /var/log/vmware/vsphere-client/logs/vsphere_client_virgo.log
2. Its as per design. EWach vSphere Web Client user need to register their UCS domains separately.
From user guide - "When you login to the Cisco UCS Manager plugin, you can view the domains that you have registered. You cannot view or edit the UCS domains registered by different users."
Hi,
No, problem is ESXi servers are not reflecting et al. Only non ESXi servers (mostly windows) are reflecting.
UCSM is running on 2.2(3d).
Regards,
Narendra
Can you please bring back the feature of installing / registering the plugin from devnet.cisco.com?
In the older versions there was a radio button for this. It's more complicated and painful in the field to install this by downloading somewhere local, finding a URL to post it to, then registering it.
Thank-you!
Hello There,
Still the problem is same it shows in vSphere client below:
I can navigate the complete UCS POD,
It shows that under Chassis it has got ESX and NON-ESX servers
Clicking on NON ESX Server shows the equipped server details
However it doesn't show any details for the ESX servers.
Suggest me on next steps to take this forward...
