You can ask the equipment provider. They can help you in configuration and make sure that the used system is working well. ____________________ [url=http://www.chicagotech.com/products/CISCO]used cisco equipment[/url]

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.

B200 M3 Memory Accuracy

2013-03-25T21:42:37Z

Is the memory accuratly reported in the emulaotr? I ask because, I tried configured a couple DIMMS (UCS-MR-1X162RY-A) and it shows around 4GB usable memory. Thinking it was a issue with my placement of DIMMS into the correct slots, I simply filled the blade with 24 of these DIMMS. But in the Inventory screen of the blade in UCSM it shows the DIMM in the slot, but has no location information, and the other fields are "Unspecified". Additionally, the memory on the blade shows 49GB. Is this not intended to be accurate, or am I doing something wrong here? Thanks!

I believe the Get-UCSFirmwareRunning did the trick. Thanks for the prompt response.

If you use firmware policies for everything try "get-ucsserviceprofile | Select Name, HostFwPolicyName" to get the blade installed firmware The quick and dirty Get-UCSFirmwareRunning will show everything by chassis/slot location and the FIs.

Getting UCS Manager and Blade Firmware Versions

2013-03-18T15:12:29Z

I would like to generate a monthly script that compares the firmware of UCS Manager to the firmware of the blades. I'm versed in powershell but can't seem to find documentation on the correct commands. Could someone point me to the commands for each? I can look at the properties from there if someone can just list the commands here. Thanks, JD

Associating a Service Profile to a Blade.

2013-03-14T07:10:20Z

Hi, I am trying to associate a Service Profile to an available Blade server (“sys/chassis-1/blade-5”) using curl & HTTP post method. I am doing this on a Cisco UCS Emulator. Command [b]"curl -H \"Content-Type: text/xml\" -N -s -d ' ' http://1X.X6X.XX.4X/nuova";[/b] But it gives me an error. [b][ ][/b] Before executing this command I login using XYZ user. This user has all the roles enabled. I can modify the Server Name as well as the description but I cannot associate a server with a Service Profile. How do I achieve this.

I see. do you know which NIC will be used for IP traffic? also, Can I have the two FCoE NICs unused? eg. they are connected and UP but has no IP configured? we don't need to use FCoE in our testing. thanks.
