Our original design two years ago was to have uplinks only to centralized switch and now i've been asked to do more uplinks to other switches serving other purposes. We have made our uplink pinning so far with LAN pin groups but we could from UCS (2....

Hello exports,I have fabric interconnect UCS6248 OS ver 5.0(3)N2(2.11e) in FC switching mode and Nexus 5548UP OS ver 5.0(3)N2(1). These two devices are directly connected with twinax cable, on both devices Im using port 1/17.I want to use fcoe multih...

As we know there are many ways to create and connect to an upstream VSAN. And finding a best practice is ahrd to find so I am asking the question here. I will use the simple example of booting from SAN.The 2 scenarios:1) Create separate VSAN's mapped...

Can the auto-installer thats in the new 2.1 train be used to upgrade from 2.0(4d) to 2.1(1e)?

A customer of mine has asked about SAN Pin Groups for connectivity to upstream Brocades. My preference has been to create vSAN's and assign multiple uplinks from each fabric to the upstream Brocades as they don't recognize vSAN's but only NPIV, thus ...

Does anybody any idea where can we use WWxN Pool? Can this be used during Service profile template creation? And how different it is compared to WWPN and WWNN Pools?Thanks

Hi,The current firmware is 2.0(1s) and I try to update tot 2.0(4d) since it's prerequisite for 2.1(13). Updating UCS Manager is fine but the IOM is stuck at 66% for two days. I try to reset it and reboot the FI also but it didn't help. Look like I go...

I'm curious to see if anyone has been able to use UCS Service Profiles with C-Servers (via Nexus 2232PP FEX and C240M3 server) to manage a Windows Server install that has a non-Cisco PCIe device. I need to add a PCIe custom interface (like a PCIe Fax...

Hi,Can someone explain to me what the server port configuration is on the FIs?Do you configure the interfaces as server ports if you want to manage a rack server outside the chassis?Thanks,BR

Hi - We have some older UCS B200M1(PID N20-B6620-1) with the NIC  PID 82598EB 10-Gig AF Dual Port Network Connection.  We are currently running the Nexus 1000 which we want to eliminate (cost and complexity).  The big pro of the Nexus-1000 is it hand...

UCS Managerにおいて、物理サーバ上のRed Hat Linuxが無応答になった際に、SysRqを送信し、kernel Panicを発生させて情報取得をしたいと考えています。UCS Managerにおける操作時に、物理サーバ上のRed Hat Linuxに対し、SysRqを送信する方法はありますか？有る場合には方法を教えてください。

When deploying the 6296 FI is there a best practice regarding the configuration/distribution of Ethernet and FC ports?Example, we currently are deploying 6 chassis each with 4 Server Uplink ports per I/O module (total 24 ports per FI) and we are leav...
