Data Center Switches

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------------------------------------------...

I already installed vCenter Server, Nexus 1000v, VEM are already loaded on this ESX. I'm having problem adding pNICs in system-uplink and vm-uplink since vSwitch is occupying vmnic0. Is this possible? How can I achieved this?BR,Dave

For future reference (and in the lab today) what is the process to create a Service Console via the ESX CLI on a system only connected to a 1Kv dvSwitch?

Now this is a strange new thing I have...After migrating some Storage, which worked fine. I lost connection to my Nexus1000v. Everything seems to work fine so the VM's are up and running. But I lost my SVS connection and worse I cannot manage my Nexu...

I'd like to know if the Cisco Nexus 1000V will work on vSphere 4.0 standard license or do I need to buy an enterprise license.

Hi Guys, I have recently installed nexus1000v and it defaulted to 32 dvUplinks, I need help on how to get that down to 2 uplinks.
