Connecting and Powering On the Server (Standalone Mode)

This section describes how to power on the server, assign an IP address, and connect to server management when using the server in standalone mode.

Note

The server is shipped with a default NIC mode called Shared LOM, default NIC redundancy is active-active, and DHCP is enabled. Shared LOM mode enables the two 1-Gb Ethernet ports to access the Cisco Integrated Management Interface (CIMC). If you want to use the 1-Gb Ethernet dedicated management port, or a port on a Cisco UCS P81E Virtual Interface Card (VIC) to access the CIMC, you must first connect to the server and change the NIC mode as described in

Step 3

of the following procedure. In that step, you can also change the NIC redundancy and set static IP settings.

To initially set up the server:

Step 1

Attach a supplied power cord to each power supply in your server, and then attach the power cord to a grounded AC power outlet. See the Power Specifications, page A-3 for power specifications.

Wait for approximately two minutes to let the server boot in standby power during the first bootup.

You can verify power status by looking at the Power Status LED (see Figure 1-1 on page 1-2 ):

•

Off—There is no AC power present in the server.

Amber—The server is in standby power mode. Power is supplied only to the CIMC and some motherboard functions.

Green—The server is in main power mode. Power is supplied to all server components.

Note

During bootup, the server beeps once for each USB device that is attached to the server. Even if there are no external USB devices attached, there is a short beep for each virtual USB device such as a virtual floppy drive, CD/DVD drive, keyboard, or mouse. A beep is also emitted if a

USB device is hot-plugged or hot-unplugged during BIOS power-on self test (POST), or while you are accessing the BIOS Setup utility or the EFI shell.

Step 2

Connect a USB keyboard and VGA monitor by using the supplied KVM cable connected to the KVM connector on the front panel (see Figure 1-1 on page 1-2 ).

Step 3

Note

Alternatively, you can use the VGA and USB ports on the rear panel. However, you cannot use the front panel VGA and the rear panel VGA at the same time. If you are connected to one VGA connector and you then connect a video device to the other connector, the first VGA connector is disabled.

Set NIC mode, NIC redundancy, and choose whether to enable DHCP or set static network settings:

Press the Power button to boot the server. Watch for the prompt to press F8.

During bootup, press F8 when prompted to open the BIOS CIMC Configuration Utility.

Set the NIC mode to your choice for which ports to use to access the CIMC for server management

(see Figure 1-3 on page 1-3 for port identification):

–

Dedicated—The 1-Gb Ethernet management port is used to access the CIMC. You must select

NIC redundancy None and select IP settings.

Shared LOM (default)—The two 1-Gb Ethernet ports are used to access the CIMC. This is the factory default setting, along with Active-active NIC redundancy and DHCP enabled.

–

Cisco Card—The ports on an installed Cisco UCS P81E VIC are used to access the CIMC. You must select a NIC redundancy and IP setting.

Note

The Cisco Card NIC mode is currently supported only with a Cisco UCS P81E VIC

(N2XX-ACPCI01) that is installed in PCIe slot 1. See also Special Considerations for Cisco

UCS P81E Virtual Interface Card (N2XX-ACPCI01), page 3-33 .

Use this utility to change the NIC redundancy to your preference. This server has three possible NIC redundancy settings:

–

None—The Ethernet ports operate independently and do not fail over if there is a problem.

–

Active-standby—If an active Ethernet port fails, traffic fails over to a standby port.

Active-active—All Ethernet ports are utilized simultaneously.

Choose whether to enable DHCP for dynamic network settings, or to enter static network settings.

Cisco MDE 3125 Series Hardware Installation Guide

OL-31959-01

Chapter

Note

Before you enable DHCP, your DHCP server must be preconfigured with the range of MAC addresses for this server. The MAC address is printed on a label on the rear of the server. This server has a range of six MAC addresses assigned to the CIMC. The MAC address printed on the label is the beginning of the range of six contiguous MAC addresses.

(Optional) Use this utility to make VLAN settings, and to set a default CIMC user password.

Note

Changes to the settings take effect after approximately 45 seconds. Refresh with F5 and wait until the new settings appear before you reboot the server in the next step.

Press F10 to save your settings and reboot the server.

Note

If you chose to enable DHCP, the dynamically assigned IP and MAC addresses are displayed on the console screen during bootup.

Step 4

Step 5

Connect to the CIMC for server management. Connect Ethernet cables from your LAN to the server, using the ports that you selected by your NIC Mode setting in

Step 3

. The Active-active and

Active-passive NIC redundancy settings require you to connect to two ports.

Use a browser and the IP address of the CIMC to connect to the CIMC Setup Utility. The IP address is based upon the settings that you made in

Step 3

(either a static address or the address assigned by your

DHCP server).

Note

The default user name for the server is admin. The default password is password.

To manage the server, see the Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Server Configuration Guide or the Cisco

UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Server CLI Configuration Guide for instructions on using those interfaces.

Accessing the System BIOS, page 2-23

Updating the BIOS and CIMC Firmware

Caution

When you upgrade the BIOS firmware, you must also upgrade the CIMC firmware to the same version or the server will not boot. Do not power off the server until the BIOS and CIMC firmware are matching or the server will not boot.

Cisco provides the Cisco Host Upgrade Utility to assist with simultaneously upgrading the BIOS, CIMC, and other firmware to compatible levels.

The server uses firmware obtained from and certified by Cisco. Cisco provides release notes with each firmware image. There are several methods for updating the firmware:

•

Recommended method for systems running firmware level 1.2 or later: Use the Cisco Host

Upgrade Utility to simultaneously upgrade the CIMC, BIOS, LOM, LSI storage controller, and

Cisco UCS P81E VIC firmware to compatible levels.

See the Cisco Host Upgrade Utility Quick Reference Guide for your firmware level at the documentation roadmap link below.

Note

Your system firmware must be at minimum level 1.2 to use the Cisco Host Upgrade Utility. If your firmware is prior to level 1.2, you must use the methods below to update the BIOS and

CIMC firmware individually.

•

You can upgrade the BIOS using the EFI interface, or upgrade from a Windows or Linux platform.

See the Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Server BIOS Upgrade Guide.

You can upgrade the CIMC and BIOS firmware by using the CIMC GUI interface.

See the Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Server Configuration Guide.

•

You can upgrade the CIMC and BIOS firmware by using the CIMC CLI interface.

RAID

RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a data storage virtualization technology that combines multiple disk drive components into a logical unit for the purposes of data redundancy and performance improvement.

Data is distributed across the drives in one of several ways, referred to as RAID levels, depending on the specific level of redundancy and performance required. The different schemes or architectures are named by the word RAID followed by a number (e.g. RAID 0, RAID 1). Each scheme provides a different balance between the key goals: reliability and availability, performance and capacity. RAID levels greater than RAID 0 provide protection against unrecoverable (sector) read errors, as well as whole disk failure.

RAID 0

RAID 0 comprises striping (but no parity or mirroring). This level provides no data redundancy nor fault tolerance, but improves performance through parallelism of read and write operations across multiple drives. RAID 0 has no error detection mechanism, so the failure of one disk causes the loss of all data on the array.

RAID 1

RAID 1 comprises mirroring (without parity or striping). Data are written identically to two (or more) drives, thereby producing a "mirrored set". The read request is serviced by any of the drives containing the requested data. This can improve performance if data is read from the disk with the least seek latency and rotational latency. Conversely, write performance can be degraded because all drives must be updated; thus the write performance is determined by the slowest drive. The array continues to operate as long as at least one drive is functioning.

OL-31959-01

Cisco MDE 3125 Series Hardware Installation Guide

Chapter

RAID 5

A RAID 5 comprises block-level striping with distributed parity. Unlike in RAID 0 and RAID 1, parity information is distributed among the drives. It requires that all drives but one be present to operate. Upon failure of a single drive, subsequent reads can be calculated from the distributed parity such that no data is lost. RAID 5 requires at least three disks.

Note

MDE Hardware [MDE-1125 and MDE-3125] only support Hardware RAID configuration. For configuring Hardware RAID level [0,1,5], refer the section

Shutting Down and Powering Off the Appliance

Tip

If you have ordered an appliance with power supply redundancy (at least two power supplies), you do not have to power off the appliance to replace a power supply because they are hot-pluggable. The appliance hard drives are also hot-pluggable.

The appliance can run in two power modes:

•

Main power mode—Power is supplied to all appliance components and any operating system on your hard drives can run.

•

Standby power mode—Power is supplied only to the service processor and the cooling fans. It is safe to power off the appliance from this mode.

You can invoke a graceful shutdown or an emergency shutdown (hard shutdown) by using either of the following methods:

•

Remote shut down using the CIMC management interface. See the

Cisco Media Delivery Engine

Administration Guide

for information about remotely powering down the appliance.

Pressing the Power button on the appliance front panel.

To use the Power button to shut down your system:

Step 1

Step 2

Check the color of the Power Status LED (see the

“Front Panel LEDs” section on page 1-5

•

Green LED

•

Amber LED

Green LED

A green LED indicates that the appliance is in main power mode and must be shut down before it can be safely powered off. Go to

Step 2 .

Invoke either a graceful shutdown or a hard shutdown:

Caution

To avoid data loss or damage to your operating system, you should always invoke a graceful shutdown.

•

Graceful shutdown—Press and release the Power button. The operating system will perform a graceful shutdown and the appliance goes to standby mode, which is indicated by an amber Power

Status LED.

Hard shutdown—Press and hold the Power button for 4 seconds to force the main power off and immediately enter standby mode.

Amber LED

An amber LED indicates that the appliance is already in standby mode and can be safely powered off.

Disconnect the power cords from the power supplies in your appliance to completely power off the appliance.

Tip

You can press the Locator button on the front panel to turn on a flashing Locator LED on the appliance front and rear panels. This button allows you to locate the specific appliance that you are servicing when you go to the rear of the rack. See the

“Status LEDs” section on page 1-5 for locations of the LEDs.

Before You Begin

The following situations indicated that a Cisco ECDS disk needs to be replaced:

•

The disk has failed on the UCS.

•

SMART detection has indicated that disk failure is imminent but no LED indications are present, so it is unclear which disk should be replaced.

In either case, the disk must be marked as “bad” prior to removing it. When a new disk is installed, you must then mark it as “good” and reboot the device for the system to recognize the new disk.

Troubleshooting Tip

If your system reports a newly installed disk as “Not Used,” make sure you have marked the new disk

“good” with the CLI after installing it.

Before You Return the Damaged Unit

Before returning the damaged unit:

Remove your good hard disks from the damaged box and label them with the disk slot number shown on the front panel of the Cisco MDE.

Make a note of the Cisco ECDS software version that you are running on the damaged unit so that you order the correct software version for your replacement unit.

After You Receive Your New Unit

When you receive your new box, verify the following on the newly shipped unit:

Use the show device mode current command to verify that the device mode is “Service Engine”

(SE).

Use the show version command to verify that the Cisco ECDS software version is the same as your previous version.

Insert the preserved hard disks into the corresponding slots of the spare unit.

CIMC

Cisco Integrated Management Controller. CIMC is a separate management module that is built into the appliance Cisco

MDE appliance. It has its own network configuration and processor, which runs the

CIMC software separately from the ECDS software. This allows you to access and monitor the appliance even when the ECDS software is not running. You can access CIMC through a web-based or command-line interface (CLI). Use the CIMC to remotely control and manage your MDE appliance.

An extranet is a private network that uses Internet protocols and network connectivity. An extranet can be viewed as part of a company's intranet that is extended to users outside the company, usually via the

Internet. It has also been described as a “state of mind” in which the Internet is perceived as a way to do business with a selected set of other companies (business-to-business, B2B), in isolation from all other Internet users. In contrast, business-to-consumer (B2C) models involve known servers of one or more companies, communicating with previously unknown consumer users.

An extranet can be understood as an intranet mapped onto the public Internet or some other transmission system not accessible to the general public, but managed by more than one company's administrator(s). For example, military networks of different security levels may map onto a common military radio transmission system that never connects to the Internet. Any private network mapped onto a public one is a virtual private network (VPN), often using special security protocols.
