UCS220M3 configuration

[yk21com]

Hi..

I'm installing UCS 220M3 with vmware ESX (hypervisor) but I wondering about IP address/subnet configuration

(UCS 220M3 has one M port and two LAN port (Shared LOM port is available)

1. I will configure as below, Is it possible?, if it is possible, how to do that?

    CIMC = M port (dedicated port) , 192.168.0.0/24

    Hypervior management = LAN 1 port, 192.168.0.0/24

    VMs vNIC and Data traffic : LAN 2 port , 192.168.1.0/24

2. I will configure as below, Is it possible?, if it is possible, how to do that?

    CIMC and Hypervior management = LAN 1 port, 192.168.0.0/24

    VMs vNIC and Data traffic : LAN 2 port , 192.168.1.0/24

Please let me know about that and give me some guide

Thank you

Option 1

-Attach a monitor to the server, boot it up and press F8 when you see the "Cisco" logo

-Assign an IP address (192.168.0.0/24) and select the NIC mode as "dedicated" (option shows up as "None")

-Install the OS and assign an address (192.168.0.0/24) which will be your vmk0 assign to vSwitch0

2.168.1.0/24)

Note: If the OS choose a different vmnic for vmk0 than the desired one, just assign the additional vmnic to that vSwitch and then removed the one you dont want to use

-Create a new port-group and vmkernel (using the other vmnic/LOM port) and give it the IP address (192.168.1.0/24)

Option 2

-Attach a monitor to the server, boot it up and press F8 when you see the "Cisco" logo

-Assign an IP address (192.168.0.0/24) and select the NIC mode as either "Active/Active" or "Active/Passive" according to the level of redundancy you want to provide to your management traffic

-Install the OS and assign an IP address.

Note: This IP address CANNOT be the same as CIMC as they are totally independent

-Create a new port-group and vmkernel (using the other vmnic/LOM port) and give it the IP address (192.168.1.0/24)

Let me know if you have questions.
