RE: static eth0 IP address issues

2013-03-26T13:08:19Z

For the emulator the 3 IPs are used for Fabric interconnect A, one for Fabric B, and one for the Cluster VIP. It has nothing to do w/ the NICs on a server, moreso about the emulation of the two different Fabric Interconnects, supporting clustering properly, etc.

Can you provide more details of the FSM that is stuck. Like a screenshot, detailed error messages, what FSM is stuck, etc.?

This is a known bug of UCSPE, that we are working on fixing in an upcoming release. Nothing you are doing wrong, just a cosmetic bug we will be fixing soon.

RE: UCS Service Profile Template creation

2013-03-06T23:03:31Z

[quote=Neville George]Fantastic. This is great. I used the Add-UcsServiceProfile previously for creating Service Profiles from template but glad to know that it will suffice for the templates too. The Convertto-UCSCmdlet is great but I cannot find which QuickStart guide you are referring to. I found the Powertool User Guid at the following link (http://developer.cisco.com/web/unifiedcomputing/pshell-download) but it did not mention anything on how to get it working successfully. I tried copying XML from the GUI to a file and running ConvertTo-UcsCmdlet -Xml –LiteralPath "$outputFilePath\1.xml" It completed successfully with the output (WARNING: Please review the generated cmdlets before deployment) but there were no cmdlets in the output. Could you point me to the Quick start guide? Or if there is anything obvious I am missing. [/quote] Neville: WHen would you be available to have a webex, as it might be easiest to help you that way.

RE: static eth0 IP address issues

2013-01-24T17:01:03Z

3 Network Interfaces are requried for UCSPE, as one NIC is for Fabric Interconnect A, one NIC is for Fabric Interconnect B, and one is for the Cluster VIP. So all are used and required for UCSPE. Please do NOT edit the VM and remove hardware, as all hardware defined in the OVF is required. It is a change from UCSPE version 2.0 and prior, and to enable better failover support and cluster support. [quote=Wei Sun]Did you remove the other 2 NICs from the OVF? UCSPE version 2.1 requres 3 NICs to be present with an IP plumbed to each. Secondly, did you check to make sure NIC 2/3 are connected, and have a VLAN defined to connect to? hey Eric, I deleted the interfaces in vSphere "Edit VM Setting", not from ovf file. I also tried the config with 3 NICs but I was not aware that UCSPE version 2.1 requres 3 NICs to be present with an IP plumbed to each. so, in my config, I have 3 NICs all connected, and each a VLAN defined to connect. but only NIC1 has an valid IP. NIC 2/3 just have fake IP (like 1.1.1.1) . neither config (3 NICs or just 1 NIC) worked. any suggestions? thanks.[/quote]

RE: static eth0 IP address issues

2013-01-23T15:44:56Z

[quote=Wei Sun]I deployed UCS Emulator using vSphere 5.0 "deploy ovf" (using "Cisco UCS Platform Emulator 2.1.1aPE2.ova"). installation is fine. after that I try to change the IP to static. it seems config is ok, but somehow UCS PE can't "retrieve IP address". to avoid confusion, I modified the VM setting and removed eth1 and eth2 so only eth0 is available. attach some screenshots.

RE: Odd truncation in UCS API?

2012-12-05T18:59:38Z

Here you go. First you need to login and get yoru cookie via the API with the curl commands below (which assumes HTTP communication): $ cat aaa.sh #!/bin/bash curl -H "Content-Type: text/xml" -N -s -d "" http://1.2.3.4/nuova $ ./aaa.sh Then take the cookie and use it with the following script as illustrated below: $ cat topsys.sh #!/bin/bash COOKIE=$1 curl -H "Content-Type: text/xml" -N -s -d '' http://1.2.3.4/nuova $ ./topsys.sh "1354316387/74eed11a-35d2-48a1-b569-f75c25ed1482" > topsys.out As you can see the file I was returned was 1.9 MB: $ ls -alh topsys.out -rw-r--r-- 1 ericwill staff 1.9M Dec 5 12:56 topsys.out

RE: Odd truncation in UCS API?

2012-12-05T04:48:45Z

Looks to be a bug with the Perl module you are using. I have had responses of much larger XML responses than that doing direct calls w/ tools like curl. Perform a configResolveClass w/ inHierarchical set to true on class "topSystem" on a UCS domain, and you will get the entire XML database returned. It can be a few MB of data, and I have never had issues getting truncation before.

RE: aaaLogout on UCS API

2012-12-05T04:45:59Z

The sessions like this one aren't "stuck forever" as they have a "shelf life." UCSM will clean out older / stale cookies on a regular basis. Cookies typically expire after 10 minutes, so make sure you refresh on tha iteration.

Re: New Message from Edward Morrison in Unified Computing UCS Manager - Tec

2012-11-21T22:05:48Z

Is HTTP -> HTTPS redirection turned on for UCS Manager? Is your goUCS session file using HTTP or HTTPS? If HTTP and HTTP->HTTPS redirection turned on, then that is potentially the issue. The goucs filterlog logtail function isn't using the UCS GUI session to get the configuration to make the XML wrapper. It's just monitoring the JAVA logfile for XML documents being populated in the file locally.

RE: Possible to download firmware package to UCS emulator?

[quote]I'm using UCSPE 2.0.2q. I tried to download 3b firmware package to the emulator. It seems it was downloading, but when it hits 100%, it shows a "Download Firmware" message box, with this line: [url=http://192.168.220.128:80//operations/file-ucs-k9-bundle-infra.2.0.3b.A.bin/image.txt]http://192.168.220.128:80//operations/file-ucs-k9-bundle-infra.2.0.3b.A.bin/image.txt[/url] But there's no 3b package in the Packages tab. Anyone successfully downloaded a firmware package to the emulator? If so, how did you do it? Thanks, Jason[/quote] It's something that is currently not supported in UCSPE. We are working on ways to resolve this issue in the future releases of UCSPE.

RE: UCSPE 2.0 Read Timed Out Error

Try restarting the UCSPE application in the Web GUI, and launching the UCSM GUI again. By the way, user "config" / password "config" is really meant for logging into the VM console to configure the IP of UCSPE. Use user "admin" and any password to login to the UI. :) Eric
