I recently changed my global chassis connectivity policy to 1 link with port channel configuration. I originally had 4 links connected to each IOM, but wanted to go down to 2. I re-acknowledged the chassis after making the change and disabling the other 2 connections, which resulted in a single port channel on each 6248 with 2 server ports. Everything was working great, and no more "unsupported connectivity error" in UCS Manager. Now, I was going to configure one of the ports as an ethernet uplink and had one of my "tired moments" and accidently configured it as a server port. This automatically added it to the port channel on FI A (the twinax was still connected to the chassis because I was working remotely). Everything came back fine, but when I went to unconfigure the port it's still showing as a fabric port in the IOM module and the unsupport connectivity error is back. No matter how I enable/disable the port, it still shows an error. Is there anyway to get this back to normal operations without re-ack'ing the chassis? I don't want to schedule downtime for 300 VDI users again and I'm going on vacation next week so I hope I can fix this in a non-disruptive way. I thought having a port channel with 1 link setup in the global connectivity policy was going to allow adding and removing links without having to re-ack the chassis? Maybe I'm wrong? Adding worked, but removing definitely didn't...unless I'm missing something.. :-) Thanks for any help! Uner the Internet LAN it shows only 2 interfaces in the port channel: Under the IO module 1, it shows 3 fabric ports, even though Port 1/3 is disabled and "unconfigured": These are the errors that still are showing up: ...

I'm not sure if this is better suited for the UCS forum so if I'm in the wrong, I apologize in advance. I am currently in the process of migrating our SAN/Server connectivity to our UCS platform. Currently, I have 2 EMC SAN's that are connected to 2 MDS 9124 switches. We are going to have the storage connected into the 6248 fabric interconnects in switch mode and eventually transition off the MDS. I currently use Fabric Manager to manage my zoning configuration. I am able to connect to the MDS switches using SNMP v3 with the admin password, but I cannot connect to the FI 6248's in anything other than SNMP v2, which won't let me make changes. The version of fabric manager I'm using is 5.0(7) and the 6248 is 5.0(3) UCS 2.11(e). If I try and login with SNMP v3, I get a bad user name or password, even after creating a SNMP v3 user. I haven't found anything on the Internet about using Fabric Manager with UCS, so I wonder if it's even supported. If anyone has gotten SNMP v3 to work, please let me know. Otherwise, is there a better way I should be doing zoning once I transition all storage to the FI ? Thanks in advance. I appreaciate any help! Jason ... View more
