Hi Siva,

after u configured static IP for Management network ,did u restart management netowrk?

Yes i restarted managment port...all the possiblity i done...it's a new implementation i just want to test the managment port....but still facing the issue.

i just assigned Esxi  ip 172.21.60.3 /24 DG:172.21.60.1

My machine IP 172.21.60.35

My machine is directly connected to UCS server MGMT port.

Siva,

Have u connected to correct NIC [i.e. NIC-1] since you are saying that u are not able to reach even when connected drectly through PC?

No i tried connecting NIC-1 and NIC-2 port just for testing....But now i am trying with MGMT port directly connected to my LAPTOP with static IP address in Same Subnet...

Hi Siva,

I suppose u are refrerring to MGMT port [written as M on rear of chassis] which would be used only for CIMC.To do the same , u need to press F8 when u power ON chassis while in BIOS.

I did CIMC configuration earlier whatever in the doccument....but my concern is to acess esxi to run a UC application.

Aman,

Thanks for sharing the doc..

already i am fallowing the same doc for my previous implementation...i can able to acess Esxi once i conntect cable from switch to NIC...but my concern was i need to access through managment port ...is it possible?

[Aman Soi]

.Hi Siva,

I was going through the DOC and Management port can be used for Dedicated CIMC

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/hw/C220/install/C220.pdf

Please have a look into this discussion which talks about ESXi and CIMC access through Shared LOM

still facing the same issue...can any experts give suggestion to my issue.

Hi Siva,

what is the NIC mode u have selected ?

if it is shared LOM,u can involve cisco TAC for more troubleshooting.

Can you access your ESXi server via your vShpere client? If yes, did you assign a VLAN to the management vMKernel port? If yes, you will need to assign the same VLAN tag to the "Port Group" that is assigned to your VM.
