For our new M7 UCSX servers managed under UCSM, I created a Storage Profile and associated Storage Policy to take the 2 local SSD disks and make them a bootable RAID1 LUN. My setup is this: Storage Profile:Name: pro_sto_localAuto Config Mode: Unspeci...

I need to be able to copy the vLAN Groups from one vNIC Template to another using Powershell. I have the following: $UCSDomain = connect-ucs MyUCSDomain $cloud = Get-UcsLanCloud $oSourceTMP = (Get-UcsVnicTemplate -Name "SHD-ESXi-A")[0] $oTargetTMP...

I have a huge number of vLANs in a UCSM environment which I believe are no longer being used and i would like to cull them so that only the used vLANs stay in UCSM. Is there a way to setup tracking for each vLAN so that I can see if traffic is flowin...

I have a UCSX-210C-M7 server which is using a Server Profile derived from a Server Profile Template which is being used by other servers in the same rack, yet when I view the Topology for this server, I can see 2 connections to IOM 1 and 2 connection...

A very strange thing just happened which has never happened before. I needed to change the vNIC Template on a Service Profile Template (SPT) which has 4 associated SPs with only 2 SPs associated to physical servers. Changing the firmware policy on th...

The Amin Host Port only controls which PCI address the vNIC is assigned to when presented to the OS. The vNIC Template is where you set the fabric A or B for the flow control. Use the Admin Host Port to shuffle your vNICs around in your required orde...

From my perspective, the Admin Host Port has no effect on the way the data travels, it's only used to place the vNIC on a specific PCI address. Note that the vNIC Templates is where we choose which fabric the data flows and this is automatically hand...

I don't see any good solutions here. I've been working with B200 M5 servers and found that most of us may be using the VIC cards incorrectly. I bet you have all your vNICs across both the VIC1340 & VIC1380 adapters!? If so then you have setup your se...

I've already logged a TAC case for the Auto Config Mode which has to be "Unspecified" and we came to the conclusion that this is the only supported method for that specific controller. Any other config setting will result in the error when applying t...

Thank you, that's what I wanted to hear. I am concerned tho, if the servers did have more then 2 disks installed. I assume the Storage Profile would try to make all disks RAID1? The problem is that some controllers, like the ones in our M7s, do not a...
