How many powersupplly must I at least have to run a UCS 5108 full of B200 M2 blade servers. I trying to do some form of power loading matrix. In order to track the load on each power supply at an incident.RgdsTobias

HI all,    I'm trying to boot my new B-series blade server from our SAN array (Windows 2003). I double check all the WWNN, WWPN, and San Boot target are techinically correct. SAN boot and SAN boot target configuration in the boot policy is included w...

I have a question. Connections from Fabric interconnect to chassis are FCoE. As far as I know, the interface port in vfc should be VF port when we're using FCoE instead of F port. But the running config and interface brief from FI shows that the oper...

Is there anyway to syncronise the RTC on the blade to the chassis it is running in or other NTP source?The NTP settings in the UCSM only seem to keep the chassis time in sync, but the blades are entirely independent.  Within the OS running on any par...

Hello,I'm curious how the system clock gets set on UCS blades?I have NTP setup in UCSM and expected the blades to set their time based on that during first boot at the very least.I recently associated a new service profile to a blade and installed ES...

I know the current roadmap for C Series UCSM integration is to use a FEX for the management plane and the UCS FI ports for the data plane, but I would like to make a plea for another option which I am guessing/hoping others would be interested in and...

Hi all,I tried to boot nexus 1010, but only cimc can login. The serial console did not show any information, and still no response. So I tried to connect keyboard and monitor, both are no response. In addition, the nic port is down too.Have any idea?...

Hi Expert,After we import the backup vsb. We try to erase the export-import folder. But system show "Device or resource busy". So we can not execute more export or import command. Please reference the below image and help us to fix this issue.Ps. The...

During the firmware upgrade to version 2.0.2q everything went well until I upgraded the 6124 Interconnects.  I first upgraded the secondary then the primary.  During both upgrades the ESX Hosts reported loss of access to the datastore attached to the...

I have 8 B200 M2 blades that are running ESXi.  Presently, each blade has 96GB's of memory installed (12x8GB DIMM's with clock speed of 1333MHz).  I have enough memory to upgrade each blade to 128GB's of memory using 8x16GB DIMM's (1066 MHz clock spe...

Hello,We are migrating from an old infrastructure which compased of 2 6500 core switches with 3570 acces switches and VLANs fro each department. We already prepared the new infrastructure which includes two Nexus 7K core switches and 9560G access swi...

Is booting from iSCSI SAN supported with UCS 2.0 and vSphere 5?I remember there was a problem with iSCSI boot from san when UCS 2.0 was released, Has that been fixed and can someone reference the fix?

Hi, I want to know if or how does livemigration/vMotion work, if I havea) Vm-Fex and b) 2 UCS domains, each in one active datacenter. Both datacenters connected via a L2 datacenter interconnect, so they are active/active.I know livemigration/vMotion ...

Planning a vSphere 5 design in which each VM will be assigned 2 x vNICs, one for standard client / server traffic and one for backup. The backup lan will be a common vlan across many VMs. I need to ensure the VMs are isolated from one another on the ...
