Unable to discover hx240 c from ucs manager

[jvetrive]

Hello,

I am building HX solution for greenfield.

New dc with no infrastructure.

Requirement-

All application servers,nested vc will be homed in HX cluster.

I am able to bring up Fabric inter connect but could not discover the hx240 node from ucsm.

all hx240 nodes are configured as Server port in FI.

UCS code - 3.1

Greetings.

Do you see the rack server initially start the discovery process and error out?

You may need to connect a crash cart/KVM, go into the CIMC setup/F8 at post time, and do a factory reset of CIMC settings.

This is assuming you have  supported SFPs/cablinging connecting the Rack server and FIs.

Make sure you don't have any cables connected to 1Gb LOM ports or dedicated port.

Thanks,

Kirk...

What is the Serial Number of the server in question?

Any chance your new HX servers have 25G VIC 1400 series cards?

VIC 1400 cards require UCSM 4.0:

Top Reasons to Move to Cisco UCS Manager Release 4.0 

Support for VIC 1400 series adapter cards on UCS M5 servers

 Upgrade your UCS Infrastructure to 4.0(4latest) and see if the server discovers.
