Data Center Switches

hi all,i've been thinking about some common deployments of vSphere 4 and N1kv on UCS Systems.Usually i have two Fabrics (A&B) on my UCS System and one to many vNICs defined on my Service Profiles.lets assume that i have a standard ESX deployment with...

I ask a lot of questions on here....Was at the same site as my other question about the trunk ports.  Their environment is three separate networks.  Internal is a 3750 switch stack.  DMZ1 is a single 3750, and DMZ2 is a single 3750.  None of these ar...

I'm having trouble getting my VSM to work on a host with a VEM installed. I have 5 ESX 4U1 hosts. VEM is running on the first 4. The VSM is running alone on the 5th host without a VEM.My procedure to move the VSM to another hosts is this:1) Save runn...

As part of our testing, I published two new port-profiles for one of our vSphere hosts to use. The one profile carries our VMotion, SC/Mgmt, Control, Packet, and Guest traffic. The second uplink contains simply the iSCSI network. The objective was to...

So I've read all the articles on Cisco.com to the best of my ability and wondered if this is at all possible?I would like to install the VSM, attached it to the vSwitch (per the documentation).Currently all Guest VM's connect to the vSwitch.Install t...

Trying to find detailed QoS information for the Nexus 1000V, I’ve looked at the QoS configuration guide, but it lacks some detail around how to prioritize the service console and VKernel traffic.  Do you have any whitepapers or best practice docs th...

Hi everyone,We've been working through and managed to get our 3 vSphere servers onto the N1KV. What our server team has noticed is that if we restore a 20 gig image of a server from iSCSI when iSCSI traffic is on one NIC (vSwitch was the test for thi...

First off, thanks everyone who has answered my small barrage of questions lately, both on and off-line. We've really been making progress in our N1KV rollout and it's much appreciated.Hopefully this one is an easy one. I was reading the 1000v product...

I'd like to know if anyone has  successfully configured LACP on 1000V? I'm having problem with LACP  where etherchannels are not establishing. If I don't use LACP, and turn  on etherchannel unconditionally, then it works fine. My 1000v is  connected ...

We've had some real issues at this site getting the 1Kv up.  We were on the phone with TAC for hours yesterday with other issues (one turning out to be a bug)...  For the most part everything is going well today, except one thing.  When I roll a serv...

Hi all,Just looking for some guidance here to get connected to my VCenter server. I am running my svs domain in l3 mode since my vCenter server is on a separate subnet from my VSM. I have verified I have connectivity to the box, and there aren't any ...

What's been the experience with running the 1000v VSM on a UCS blade where the Blade is also running a VEM? Thought I had a solid configuration with HA failover but something happened and it all blew up... and all 6 of my hosts disappeared from the V...

hi all,this week i have tested the deployment of a N1kv on our UCS test system.Everything worked fine after i have disabled the fabric failover option of each vNIC in the service profiles.With the failover option enabled the VEMs could not connect to...

Anybody have any good info on L3 AIPC mode becuase Cisco hasn't updated their Docs yet. I like the idea of L3 and not having to have the Packet and Control VLAN's around. At least that was my understanding until there was a crash. Now I'm dealing wit...

Hi,I'm running into a problem with Guests's ports in a blocked state.  From the vSphere interface the ports are in a blocked state (see attachment).  From the Nexus CLI I get this:nexus-1# sh interface status------------------------------------------...
