Service Profile fails

[jshachar1]

Hi guys,

I've been trying to attach a Profile to a server in a lab environment for the last couple of day but it just wouldn't do it

I attached a screen shot

Any help would be appreciated

I attached another screen shot

 I created pools for everything. I cannot figure out what's missing

I see in the first screenshot, that you have 4 vcon's; this is most likely your problem.

A vcon essentially corresponds to a physical I/O adaptor.

What kind of blade are you using ?

e.g. a B200-M3 with one VIC-1240 would have one vcon; if it has a VIC-1240 Plus a VIC-1280, it would have 2 !

Hi

thank you for taking the time

please see attached screen shots

(how can a PSU fail in an emulator? )

I hope your first question got answered ?

Regarding PSU: it seems that you configured a chassis without PSU !

thank you

I am still confused. there are 4 vcons by default. I am reading here:

"Each vNIC/vHBA placement policy contains four vCons"

"For blade or rack servers that contain one adapter, Cisco UCS assigns all vCons to that adapter"

I attached screen-shots of the adapters

I know I am missing something

 - what did I do wrong?

 - how do I fix it?

Thank you

"Each vNIC/vHBA placement policy contains four vCons"

This policy has been designed for a hardware that has max. 4 I/O adaptors (=vcon's); it doesn't mean that every blade has 4 vcon's

"For blade or rack servers that contain one adapter, Cisco UCS assigns all vCons to that adapter"

With your service profile, you create a couple of veth's, and this above placement policy defines, which virtual adaptors (veth) are mapped to which physical adaptor (vcon).

Try automatic placement, and see what UCS Manager does !

Hope that clarifies this situation :-)

thanks for the explanation 

I've tried to create a new SP - now it says that there are no MAC addresses even though there are plenty

-don't use simple, but expert; then you can specify the non default pool.

-Otherwise increase the size of the default pool

-I think it's best practise to delete all this default pools
