Cisco UCS Avial State unavailable

Desmond_Wang · ‎06-01-2020

I have a problem with my UCS blade Avail State, and all of blade server is stucking in the same state:unavailable.

After two days self troubleshooting, I still couldn't found out the root cause.

Hope I can get some gudie from this community.

Please provide some thought useful to make my troubleshooting keep going if your guys had dealed with any similar question before.

The blade status as below.

Configuration Error:not-applicable

Admin State:
In Service

Discovery State:
Complete

Avail State:
Unavailable

Assoc State:
Associated

Power State:
On

Slot Status:
Equipped

Check Point:Discovered

There are two severities, I can not resovle no matter how I tried everything that i can do.

I think this warning maybe the root cause, but i don't know how to fix it.

Greetings.

Availability status refers to being available for service profile. If you have already applied a service profile, then it won't be 'available'

The VIFs/Veths will be down if you don't have a booted OS.

Thanks for your quick reply!

Emmm, I think I made a mistake about the avial state. It's pretty embarrassing.

But even I boot my OS which is win2016 the VIF issue is still keeping warning.

None network adapter could been found in my win2016 system, so it's a system driver issue?

btw, my vic card are VIC1340. the vif 1463 is down.

You are correct. If you don't have active drivers, then the circuit won't be up, and you will get that vif down message.

You will want to check the Windows driver's ISO and install the correct VIC card drivers and the Intel CHIPSET drivers (install the chipset first)

Upgrade windows driver, problem solved~ Thanks a lot.

I used to install exsi and linux in this ucs blade server before. driver issue never happen, so I am wrong in the very begining, i think it's a ucs configure issue.
