Hello,We're trying to deploy VN-Link in HW (PTS) to our UCS with vSphere 4.1 ESXi...we followed all the steps to do it, already have the dynamic vnics in the service profile, vCenter already sees the Port Profiles created in UCSM...but at the time of...
I regularly hear a few specific arguments critiquing the UCS that I would like someone who knows the UCS ecosystem well to clarify before my organization adopts it.1. The Cisco UCS system is a totally proprietary and closed system, meaning: a) th...
Hello all,In my lab's UCS I'm experiencing this "non fatal config warning" message everytime I make changes in a profile, but this is only happenning these last recent weeks...and I've been working with the UCS since many months ago. Only important c...
Normally, I use vPC with vlan 99 [Allow vlan 99 one vPC peer link] but if I have new two UCS-6100 and only one uplink per 6100so, Can I connect 6100 directly to Nexus 5000 with non-vPC [Interface connect as trunk and allow vlan 99 to UCS 6100] ?Becau...
Is there any best practices or guidelines or suggestions for setting up mac pools, uuid pools, wwpn and wwnn pools in UCS. I don't want to just randomly assign some numbers to these and have to redo them later down the line so I guess I'd like to ge...
All,I have a problem that I just cannot wrap my mind around. We have UCS setup in a lab with 2 interconnects connected to 2 nexus 5510 switches. The nexus switches are uplinked to the network via a 4900m switch. All trunks are setup and tested as ...

Hi all,quite sure answer is no.....but i'll still try to make question .id ti possible to dual boot from local hard disk?I mean one profile with one OS (maybe ESX4.0) and other profile with another OS (ESX4.1)?PS: i know that i can do it with san boo...
B200-M1 blades and Menlo CNA.The SPs are using a dynamic vNIC templates with fabric A or B selected and F/O enabled.What we're witnessing is the OS will always be presented with two NIC's. Depending on which Fabric A/B the SP is set to determins whi...
I had two customers looking for this. In other blades, they have the ability to hook up to 8 NIC's to a switch and then that switch(s) can be in DMZ1, DMZ2, internal etc. So basically they are able to do physical segmentation of their vhosts on ESX ...

Hi,can we use a 6120 Interconnect as a FC switch, so do the usual FC zoning stuff and directly connect some FC storage to the FC expansion ports, or do we need to run the interconnect in NPV mode and connect it to a NPIV capable switch.Regards,John
I have deployed a few UCS installs and have used static wwnn and wwpn. The problem I see with using wwnn and wwpnn pools is that if you mask you Luns to a wwpn on the host and the service profile is removed there is the potential of the host getting ...
