Overview

Server Ports

Cisco IMC Firmware

Cisco IMC is a separate management module built into the motherboard. A dedicated ARM-based processor, separate from the main server CPU, runs the Cisco IMC firmware. The system ships with a running version of the Cisco IMC firmware. You can update the Cisco IMC firmware, but no initial installation is needed.

Server OS

The Cisco UCS C-Series rack servers support operating systems such as Windows, Linux, Oracle and so on.

For more information on supported operating systems, see the Hardware and Software Interoperability for

Standalone C-series servers at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10477/prod_technical_reference_ list.html

. You can use Cisco IMC to install an OS on the server using the KVM console and vMedia.

Cisco UCS C-Series Servers Integrated Management Controller CLI Configuration Guide, Release 4.0

Overview

Cisco Integrated Management Controller

The Cisco IMC is the management service for the C-Series servers. Cisco IMC runs within the server.

Note The Cisco IMC management service is used only when the server is operating in Standalone Mode. If your

C-Series server is integrated into a UCS system, you must manage it using UCS Manager. For information about using UCS Manager, see the configuration guides listed in the Cisco UCS B-Series Servers Documentation

Roadmap at http://www.cisco.com/go/unifiedcomputing/b-series-doc .

Management Interfaces

You can use a web-based GUI or SSH-based CLI or an XML-based API to access, configure, administer, and monitor the server. Almost all tasks can be performed in either interface, and the results of tasks performed in one interface are displayed in another. However, you cannot do the following:

• Use Cisco IMC GUI to invoke Cisco IMC CLI

• View a command that has been invoked through Cisco IMC CLI in Cisco IMC GUI

• Generate Cisco IMC CLI output from Cisco IMC GUI

Tasks You Can Perform in Cisco IMC

You can use Cisco IMC to perform the following server management tasks:

• Power on, power off, power cycle, reset and shut down the server

• Toggle the locator LED

• Configuring BIOS settings

• Configure the server boot order

• View server properties and sensors

• Manage remote presence

• Create and manage local user accounts, and enable remote user authentication through Active Directory

• Configure network-related settings, including NIC properties, IPv4, VLANs, and network security

• Configure communication services, including HTTP, SSH, IPMI Over LAN, and SNMP.

• Manage certificates

• Configure platform event filters

• Update Cisco IMC firmware

• Monitor faults, alarms, and server status

• Set time zone and view local time

• Install and activate Cisco IMC firmware

Cisco UCS C-Series Servers Integrated Management Controller CLI Configuration Guide, Release 4.0

Overview

Cisco IMC CLI

• Install and activate BIOS firmware

No Operating System or Application Provisioning or Management

Cisco IMC provisions servers, and as a result, exists below the operating system on a server. Therefore, you cannot use it to provision or manage operating systems or applications on servers. For example, you cannot do the following:

• Deploy an OS, such as Windows or Linux

• Deploy patches for software, such as an OS or an application

• Install base software components, such as anti-virus software, monitoring agents, or backup clients

• Install software applications, such as databases, application server software, or web servers

• Perform operator actions, including restarting an Oracle database, restarting printer queues, or handling non-Cisco IMC user accounts

• Configure or manage external storage on the SAN or NAS storage

Cisco IMC CLI

The Cisco IMC CLI is a command-line management interface for Cisco UCS C-Series servers. You can launch the Cisco IMC CLI and manage the server over the network by SSH or Telnet. By default, Telnet access is disabled.

A user of the CLI will be one of three roles: admin, user (can control, cannot configure), and read-only.

Note To recover from a lost admin password, see the Cisco UCS C-Series server installation and service guide for your platform.

Command Modes

The CLI is organized into a hierarchy of command modes, with the EXEC mode being the highest-level mode of the hierarchy. Higher-level modes branch into lower-level modes. You use the scope command to move from higher-level modes to modes in the next lower level , and the exit command to move up one level in the mode hierarchy. The top command returns to the EXEC mode.

Note Most command modes are associated with managed objects. The scope command does not create managed objects and can only access modes for which managed objects already exist.

Each mode contains a set of commands that can be entered in that mode. Most of the commands available in each mode pertain to the associated managed object. Depending on your assigned role, you may have access to only a subset of the commands available in a mode; commands to which you do not have access are hidden.

Cisco UCS C-Series Servers Integrated Management Controller CLI Configuration Guide, Release 4.0

Overview

Command Mode Table

The CLI prompt for each mode shows the full path down the mode hierarchy to the current mode. This helps you to determine where you are in the command mode hierarchy and can be an invaluable tool when you need to navigate through the hierarchy.

Command Mode Table

The following table lists the first four levels of command modes, the commands used to access each mode, and the CLI prompt associated with each mode.

Complete a Command

You can use the Tab key in any mode to complete a command. Partially typing a command name and pressing

Tab causes the command to be displayed in full or to the point where another keyword must be chosen or an argument value must be entered.

Cisco UCS C-Series Servers Integrated Management Controller CLI Configuration Guide, Release 4.0

Overview

Command History

The CLI stores all commands used in the current session. You can step through the previously used commands by using the Up Arrow or Down Arrow keys. The Up Arrow key steps to the previous command in the history, and the Down Arrow key steps to the next command in the history. If you get to the end of the history, pressing the Down Arrow key does nothing.

All commands in the history can be entered again by simply stepping through the history to recall the desired command and pressing Enter . The command is entered as if you had manually typed it. You can also recall a command and change it before you press Enter .

Committing, Discarding, and Viewing Pending Commands

When you enter a configuration command in the CLI, the command is not applied until you enter the commit command. Until committed, a configuration command is pending and can be discarded by entering a discard command. When any command is pending, an asterisk (*) appears before the command prompt. The asterisk disappears when you enter the commit command, as shown in this example:

Server# scope chassis

Server /chassis # set locator-led off

Server /chassis *# commit

Server /chassis #

You can accumulate pending changes in multiple command modes and apply them together with a single commit command. You can view the pending commands by entering the show configuration pending command in any command mode.

Note Committing multiple commands together is not an atomic operation. If any command fails, the successful commands are applied despite the failure. Failed commands are reported in an error message.

Command Output Formats

Most CLI show commands accept an optional detail keyword that causes the output information to be displayed as a list rather than a table. You can configure either of two presentation formats for displaying the output information when the detail keyword is used. The format choices are as follows:

• Default—For easy viewing, the command output is presented in a compact list.

This example shows command output in the default format:

Server /chassis # set cli output default

Server /chassis # show hdd detail

Name HDD_01_STATUS:

Status : present

Name HDD_02_STATUS:

Status : present

Name HDD_03_STATUS:

Status : present

Name HDD_04_STATUS:

Status : present

Server /chassis #

Cisco UCS C-Series Servers Integrated Management Controller CLI Configuration Guide, Release 4.0

Overview

Smart Access: Serial

• YAML—For easy parsing by scripts, the command output is presented in the YAML (YAML Ain't

Markup Language) data serialization language, delimited by defined character strings.

This example shows command output in the YAML format:

Server /chassis # set cli output yaml

Server /chassis # show hdd detail

--name: HDD_01_STATUS hdd-status: present

--name: HDD_02_STATUS hdd-status: present

--name: HDD_03_STATUS hdd-status: present

--name: HDD_04_STATUS hdd-status: present

...

Server /chassis #

For detailed information about YAML, see http://www.yaml.org/about.html

In most CLI command modes, you can enter set cli output default to configure the default format, or set cli output yaml to configure the YAML format.

Smart Access: Serial

The Smart Access: Serial allows offline configuration of C-series servers using the command line interface

(CLI) through serial connection. With this setup, you are not required to connect the Cisco IMC to the network in order to access the command line interface.

The serial connection can be accessed using either the KVM dongle (DB9), or the serial port (RJ-45) at the rear of the chassis.

Once you have completed the setup and the BIOS and OS messages are visible on the console, you can view the Cisco IMC CLI by pressing Esc+9 . You are required to authenticate the connection with Cisco IMC user credentials. The default user name is admin and default password is password . You can press Esc+8 to switch back to the BIOS or OS on the same console.

When the session is created, the session is visible on the Web UI sessions tab as a serial connection.

Cisco UCS C-Series Servers Integrated Management Controller CLI Configuration Guide, Release 4.0

Overview

Online Help for the CLI

Note Note the following limitations while using the CLI through a serial connection:

• You cannot use the arrow keys to revert to previously executed commands.

• The CLI is not visible when the terminal type is set to either VT100+ or VTUFT8 .

• The smart access feature does not work as expected after an OS boot unless the " console

" property in the grub configuration file of the OS is set to ttyS0 . You must set the " console

" property in the grub configuration file of the OS to ttyS0 for it to work as expected.

Online Help for the CLI

At any time, you can type the ?

character to display the options available at the current state of the command syntax.

If you have not typed anything at the prompt, typing ?

lists all available commands for the mode you are in.

If you have partially typed a command, typing ?

lists all available keywords and arguments available at your current position in the command syntax.

Logging In to Cisco IMC

Procedure

Step 1

Step 2

Connect to the console port.

When logging in to an unconfigured system for the first time, use admin as the username and password as the password.

The following situations occur when you login to the CLI for the first time:

• You cannot perform any operation until you change default admin credentials on the Cisco IMC web UI or CLI.

Note After an upgrade from Cisco IMC version 1.5(x) or 2.0(1) to the latest version, or when you do a factory reset, during first login Cisco IMC prompts for a password change. You cannot choose the word 'password' as your new password. If this creates problems for any scripts you may be running, you could change it to password by logging back into the user management options, but this is

ENTIRELY at your own risk. It is not recommended by Cisco.

Example

The following example shows how to login in to Cisco IMC first time:

Login as # admin admin10.101.255.255's password # password

***********************WARNING*******************

•

OS Installation Methods, on page 13

•

Virtual KVM Console, on page 13

•

PXE Installation Servers, on page 14

•

Booting an Operating System from a USB Port, on page 15

OS Installation Methods

C-Series servers support several operating systems. Regardless of the OS being installed, you can install it on your server using one of the following tools:

• KVM console

• PXE installation server

For more information on Cisco UCS Server Configuration Utility, see Cisco UCS Server Configuration Utility

Quick Start Guide .

Virtual KVM Console

The vKVM console is an interface accessible from Cisco IMC that emulates a direct keyboard, video, and mouse (vKVM) connection to the server. The vKVM console allows you to connect to the server from a remote location.

Here are a few major advantages of using Cisco KVM Console:

• The Cisco KVM console provides connection to KVM, SOL, and vMedia whereas the Avocent KVM provides connection only to KVM and vMedia.

• In the KVM Console, the vMedia connection is established at the KVM Launch Manager and is available for all users.

• The KVM console offers you an advanced character replacement options for the unsupported characters while pasting text from the guest to the host.

• The KVM console provides you an ability to store the vMedia mappings on CIMC.

Cisco UCS C-Series Servers Integrated Management Controller CLI Configuration Guide, Release 4.0

Installing the Server OS

Installing an OS Using the KVM Console

Instead of using CD/DVD or floppy drives physically connected to the server, the vKVM console uses virtual media, which are actual disk drives or disk image files that are mapped to virtual CD/DVD or floppy drives.

You can map any of the following to a virtual drive:

• CD/DVD or floppy drive on your computer

• Disk image files (ISO or IMG files) on your computer

• USB flash drive on your computer

• CD/DVD or floppy drive on the network

• Disk image files (ISO or IMG files) on the network

• USB flash drive on the network

You can use the vKVM console to install an OS on the server.

Note The vKVM Console is operated only through the GUI. To launch the vKVM Console, see the instructions in the Cisco UCS C-Series Servers Integrated Management Controller GUI Configuration Guide .

Installing an OS Using the KVM Console

Because the KVM console is operated only through the GUI, you cannot install a server OS using the CLI.

To install an OS using the KVM console, follow the instructions in the "Installing an OS Using the KVM

Console" section of the Cisco UCS C-Series Servers Integrated Management Controller GUI Configuration

Guide .

Note Detailed guides for installing Linux, VMware, and Windows can be found at this URL: http://www.cisco.com/ en/US/products/ps10493/products_installation_and_configuration_guides_list.html

PXE Installation Servers

A Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) installation server allows a client to boot and install an OS from a remote location. To use this method, a PXE environment must be configured and available on your VLAN, typically a dedicated provisioning VLAN. Additionally, the server must be set to boot from the network.

When the server boots, it sends a PXE request across the network. The PXE installation server acknowledges the request, and starts a sequence of events that installs the OS on the server.

PXE servers can use installation disks, disk images, or scripts to install an OS. Proprietary disk images can also be used to install an OS, additional components, or applications.

Note PXE installation is an efficient method for installing an OS on a large number of servers. However, considering that this method requires setting up a PXE environment, it might be easier to use another installation method.

Cisco UCS C-Series Servers Integrated Management Controller CLI Configuration Guide, Release 4.0

Installing the Server OS

Installing an OS Using a PXE Installation Server

Before you begin

• Verify that the server can be reached over a VLAN.

• You must log in as a user with admin privileges to install an OS.

Procedure

Step 1

Step 2

Set the boot order to PXE first.

Reboot the server.

If a PXE install server is available on the VLAN, the installation process begins when the server reboots. PXE installations are typically automated and require no additional user input. Refer to the installation guide for the OS being installed to guide you through the rest of the installation process.

What to do next

After the OS installation is complete, reset the LAN boot order to its original setting. Always follow your OS vendors recommended configuration, including software interoperability and driver compatibility. For more information on driver recommendations and installation, follow the Cisco UCS Hardware Compatibility list here: https://ucshcltool.cloudapps.cisco.com/public/

Booting an Operating System from a USB Port

All Cisco UCS C-series servers support booting an operating system from any USB port on the server. However, there are a few guidelines that you must keep in mind, prior to booting an OS from a USB port.

• To maintain the boot order configuration, it is recommended that you use an internal USB port for booting an OS.

• The USB port must be enabled prior to booting an OS from it.

By default, the USB ports are enabled. If you have disabled a USB port, you must enable it prior to booting an OS from it. For information on enabling a disabled USB ports, see topic Enabling or Disabling the Internal USB Port in the server-specific installation and service guide available at the following link: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10493/prod_installation_guides_list.html

• After you boot the OS from the USB port, you must set the second-level boot order so that the server boots from that USB source every time.

Server /CIMC #

Managing the Server Boot Order

Server Boot Order

Using Cisco IMC, you can configure the order in which the server attempts to boot from available boot device types. In the legacy boot order configuration, Cisco IMC allows you to reorder the device types but not the devices within the device types. With the precision boot order configuration, you can have a linear ordering of the devices. In the web UI or CLI you can change the boot order and boot mode, add multiple devices under each device types, rearrange the boot order, set parameters for each device type.

When you change the boot order configuration, Cisco IMC sends the configured boot order to BIOS the next time that server is rebooted. To implement the new boot order, reboot the server after you make the configuration change. The new boot order takes effect on any subsequent reboot. The configured boot order remains until the configuration is changed again in Cisco IMC or in the BIOS setup.

Cisco UCS C-Series Servers Integrated Management Controller CLI Configuration Guide, Release 4.0

Managing the Server

Server Boot Order

Note The actual boot order differs from the configured boot order if either of the following conditions occur:

• BIOS encounters issues while trying to boot using the configured boot order.

• A user changes the boot order directly through BIOS.

• BIOS appends devices that are seen by the host but are not configured from the user.

Important While upgrading Cisco UCS C220 M5 or C480 M5 servers to release 4.1(1x) under the following conditions:

• if you are upgrading from any release earlier than 4.0(4x)

• if Legacy Boot Mode is enabled and no Cisco IMC Boot Order is configured

• and, if the server is booting from Cisco HWRAID adapter then, you should perform one of the following before upgrading:

• Run XML-API scripts and UCSCFG based scripts provided here.

• Manually configure the intended boot order through Cisco IMC GUI or CLI interfaces.

Note When you create a new policy using the configure boot order feature, BIOS tries to map this new policy to the devices in the system. It displays the actual device name and the policy name to which it is mapped in the

Actual Boot Order area. If BIOS cannot map any device to a particular policy in Cisco IMC, the actual device name is stated as NonPolicyTarget in the Actual Boot Order area.

Note During Cisco IMC 2.0(x) upgrade, the legacy boot order is migrated to the precision boot order. The previous boot order configuration is erased and all device types configured before updating to 2.0 version are converted to corresponding precision boot device types and some dummy devices are created for the same device types.

you can view these devices in the Configured Boot Order area in the web UI. To view these devices in the

CLI, enter show boot-device command. During this the server's actual boot order is retained and it can be viewed under actual boot order option in web UI and CLI.

When you downgrade Cisco IMC prior to 2.0(x) verison the server's last legacy boot order is retained, and the same can be viewed under Actual Boot Order area. For example:

• If you configured the server in a legacy boot order in 2.0(x) version, upon downgrade a legacy boot order configuration is retained.

• If you configured the server in a precision boot order in 2.0(x), upon downgrade the last configured legacy boot order is retained.

Cisco UCS C-Series Servers Integrated Management Controller CLI Configuration Guide, Release 4.0

Managing the Server

Viewing the Boot Device Detail

Important • Boot order configuration prior to 2.0(x) is referred as legacy boot order. If your running version is 2.0(x), then you cannot configure legacy boot order through web UI, but you can configure through CLI and

XML API. In the CLI, you can configure it by using set boot-order HDD,PXE command. Even though, you can configure legacy boot order through CLI or XML API, in the web UI this configured boot order is not displayed.

• Legacy and precision boot order features are mutually exclusive. You can configure either legacy or precision boot order. If you configure legacy boot order, it disables all the precision boot devices configured. If you configure precision boot order, then it erases legacy boot order configuration.

Overview to UEFI Secure Boot

You can use Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) secure boot to ensure that all the EFI drivers, EFI applications, option ROM or operating systems prior to loading and execution are signed and verified for authenticity and integrity, before you load and execute the operating system. You can enable this option using either web UI or CLI. When you enable UEFI secure boot mode, the boot mode is set to UEFI mode and you cannot modify the configured boot mode until the UEFI boot mode is disabled.

Note If you enable UEFI secure boot on a nonsupported OS, on the next reboot, you cannot boot from that particular

OS. If you try to boot from the previous OS, an error is reported and recorded the under system software event in the web UI. You must disable the UEFI secure boot option using Cisco IMC to boot from your previous

OS.

Important Also, if you use an unsupported adapter, an error log event in Cisco IMC SEL is recorded. The error messages is displayed that says:

System Software event: Post sensor, System Firmware error. EFI Load Image Security Violation. [0x5302] was asserted .

UEFI secure boot is supported on the following components:

Power Capping

Important This section is valid only for some UCS C-Series servers.

Power capping determines how server power consumption is actively managed. When you enable power capping option, the system monitors power consumption and maintains the power below the allocated power limit. If the server cannot maintain the power limit or cannot bring the platform power back to the specified power limit within the correction time, power capping performs actions that you specify in the Action field under the Power Profile area.

Once power capping is enabled, you can configure multiple power profiles to either have standard or advanced power profiles with defined attributes. If you choose a standard power profile, you can set the power limit, correction time, corrective-action, suspend period, hard capping, and policy state (if enabled). If you choose an advanced power profile, in addition to the attributes of the standard power profile, you can also set the domain specific power limits, safe throttle level, and ambient temperature based power capping attributes.

Setting Power Redundancy Policy

Note The following changes are applicable for Cisco UCS C-Series release 2.0(13) and later:

• After upgrading to the 2.0(13) release, power characterization automatically runs during the first host power on. Subsequent characterization runs only if initiated as described in section Run Power

Characterization section.

• Also, when a server is power cycled and there is a change to the CPU or DIMM configurations, power characterization automatically runs on first host boot. For any other hardware change like PCIe adapters,

GPU or HDDs, power characterization does not run. The characterized power range is modified depending on the components present after the host power cycle.

The Run Power Characterization option in the Power Cap Configuration Tab of the Web UI power cycles the host and starts power characterization.

Configuring Fan Policies

Fan Control Policies

Fan Control Policies enable you to control the fan speed to bring down server power consumption and noise levels. Prior to these fan policies, the fan speed increased automatically when the temperature of any server component exceeded the set threshold. To ensure that the fan speeds were low, the threshold temperatures of

Cisco UCS C-Series Servers Integrated Management Controller CLI Configuration Guide, Release 4.0

Managing the Server

Fan Control Policies components are usually set to high values. While this behavior suited most server configurations, it did not address the following situations:

• Maximum CPU performance

For high performance, certain CPUs must be cooled substantially below the set threshold temperature.

This required very high fan speeds which resulted in higher power consumption and increased noise levels.

• Low power consumption

To ensure the lowest power consumption, fans must run very slowly, and in some cases, stop completely on servers that support it. But slow fan speeds resulted in servers overheating. To avoid this situation, it is necessary to run fans at a speed that is moderately faster than the lowest possible speed.

With the introduction of fan policies, you can determine the right fan speed for the server, based on the components in the server. In addition, it allows you to configure the fan speed to address problems related to maximum CPU performance and low power consumption.

Following are the fan policies that you can choose from:

• Balanced —This setting can cool almost any server configuration, but may not be suitable for servers with PCIe cards as these cards overheat easily.

• Low Power —This setting is ideal for minimal configuration servers that do not contain any PCIe cards.

• High Power —This policy is ideal for servers that contain PCIe cards that overheat easily and have high temperatures.

• Maximum Power —This setting can be used for server configurations that required extremely high fan speeds. This policy is ideal for servers that contain PCIe cards that overheat easily and have very high temperatures.

• Acoustic —This setting can be used for configuring the fan noise level, thereby enabling noise reduction in the servers.

Application of this policy might result in performance throttling impacting system performance. If excessive thermal or performance events are recorded in the event logs, select a standard fan control policy like Low Power , which is a non-disruptive change.

Note This option is available only on Cisco UCS C220 M5, C240 SD M5, C240 M5 servers. For these servers, Acoustic is the default fan policy.

For other servers, default fan policy depends on the server configuration and the number of PCIe cards present in the server.

Note For Cisco UCS M5 servers, although you set a fan policy in Cisco IMC, the actual speed that the fan runs at is determined by the configuration requirements of the server. PCIe cards are tagged with minimum fan speed depending on thermal requirements. If the server is equipped with these PCIe cards, you cannot configure the fan policy, which go below the tagged requirement.

Cisco UCS C-Series Servers Integrated Management Controller CLI Configuration Guide, Release 4.0

Managing the Server

Configuring a Fan Policy

The Configuration Status displays the status of the configured fan policy in Cisco UCS M5 servers. This can be one of the following:

• SUCCESS —The selected fan policy matches the actual fan speed that runs on the server.

• PENDING —The configured fan policy is not in effect yet. This can be due to one of the following:

• The server is powered off

• The BIOS POST is not complete

• FAN POLICY OVERRIDE—Overrides the specified fan speed with the actual speed determined by the configuration requirements of the server.

Configuring a Fan Policy

The fan policy determines the cooling requirements for your server. Prior to setting the fan policy, you must determine if your server includes PCIe cards that overheat easily.

Configuring DIMM Black Listing

DIMM Black Listing

In Cisco IMC, the state of the Dual In-line Memory Module (DIMM) is based on SEL event records. A DIMM is marked bad if the BIOS encounters a non-correctable memory error or correctable memory error with 16000 error counts during memory test execution during BIOS post. If a DIMM is marked bad, it is considered a non-functional device.

Cisco UCS C-Series Servers Integrated Management Controller CLI Configuration Guide, Release 4.0

Managing the Server

Enabling DIMM Black Listing

If you enable DIMM blacklisting, Cisco IMC monitors the memory test execution messages and blacklists any DIMM that encounters memory errors at any given point of time in the DIMM SPD data. This allows the host to map out those DIMMs.

DIMMs are mapped out or blacklisted only when Uncorrectable errors occur. When a DIMM gets blacklisted, other DIMMs in the same channel are ignored or disabled, which means that the DIMM is no longer considered bad.

Note DIMMs do not get mapped out or blacklisted for 16000 Correctable errors.

•

Managing Serial over LAN, on page 101

Managing the Virtual KVM

Virtual KVM Console

Here are a few major advantages of using Cisco KVM Console:

• The Cisco KVM console provides connection to KVM, SOL, and vMedia whereas the Avocent KVM provides connection only to KVM and vMedia.

• In the KVM Console, the vMedia connection is established at the KVM Launch Manager and is available for all users.

• The KVM console offers you an advanced character replacement options for the unsupported characters while pasting text from the guest to the host.

• The KVM console provides you an ability to store the vMedia mappings on CIMC.

You can map any of the following to a virtual drive:

• CD/DVD or floppy drive on your computer

• Disk image files (ISO or IMG files) on your computer

• USB flash drive on your computer

• CD/DVD or floppy drive on the network

Cisco UCS C-Series Servers Integrated Management Controller CLI Configuration Guide, Release 4.0

Managing Serial over LAN

Serial Over LAN

Serial over LAN (SoL) is a mechanism that enables the input and output of the serial port of a managed system to be redirected via an SSH session over IP. SoL provides a means of reaching the host console via Cisco

IMC.

Guidelines and Restrictions for Serial Over LAN

For redirection to SoL, the server console must have the following configuration:

• console redirection to serial port A

• no flow control

• baud rate the same as configured for SoL

• VT-100 terminal type

• legacy OS redirection disabled

The SoL session will display line-oriented information such as boot messages, and character-oriented screen menus such as BIOS setup menus. If the server boots an operating system or application with a bitmap-oriented display, such as Windows, the SoL session will no longer display. If the server boots a command-line-oriented operating system (OS), such as Linux, you may need to perform additional configuration of the OS in order to properly display in an SoL session.

In the SoL session, your keystrokes are transmitted to the console except for the function key F2. To send an

F2 to the console, press the Escape key, then press 2.

Cisco UCS C-Series Servers Integrated Management Controller CLI Configuration Guide, Release 4.0

Before you begin

You must log in as a user with admin privileges to configure serial over LAN (SoL).

Procedure

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Command or Action

Server# scope sol

Server /sol # set enabled { yes | no }

Server /sol # set baud-rate { 9600 | 19200 |

38400 | 57600 | 115200 }

Purpose

Enters SoL command mode.

Enables or disables SoL on this server.

Sets the serial baud rate the system uses for SoL communication.

Note The baud rate must match the baud rate configured in the server serial console.

Step 4 (Optional) Server /sol # set comport { com0 | com1

Sets the serial port through which the system routes SoL communications.

Note This option is only available on some

C-Series servers. If it is not available, the server always uses

COM port 0 for SoL communication.

You can specify:

• com0 —SoL communication is routed through COM port 0, an externally accessible serial port that supports either a physical RJ45 connection to an external device or a virtual SoL connection to a network device.

If you select this option, the system enables SoL and disables the RJ45 connection, which means that the server can no longer support an external serial device.

• com1 —SoL communication is routed through COM port 1, an internal port accessible only through SoL.

If you select this option, you can use SoL on COM port 1 and the physical RJ45 connection on COM port 0.

Non-IPMI User Mode

Release 4.1 introduces a new user configuration option called User Mode that allows you to switch between

IPMI and non-IPMI user modes. Introduction of the non-IPMI user mode provides enhanced password security for users and security enhancements to the BMC database that were restricted in earlier releases due to the constraints posed by the IPMI 2.0 standards. Non-IPMI user mode allows you to use 127 characters to set user passwords whereas users in IPMI mode are restricted to a password length of 20 characters. Non-IPMI user mode enables you to set stronger passwords for users configured in this mode.

You must consider the following configuration changes that occur while switching between user modes, when you:

• Switch to the non-IPMI mode, IPMI over LAN will not be supported.

Password Expiry

You can set a shelf life for a password, after which it expires. As an administrator, you can set this time in days. This configuration would be common to all users. Upon password expiry, the user is notified on login and would not be allowed to login unless the password is reset.

Note When you downgrade to an older database, existing users are deleted. The database returns to default settings.

Previously configured users are cleared and the database is empty, that is, the database has the default username

- 'admin' and password - 'password'. Since the server is left with the default user database, the change default credential feature is enabled. This means that when the 'admin' user logs on to the database for the first time after a downgrade, the user must mandatorily change the default credential.

Password Set Time

A 'Password set time' is configured for every existing user, to the time when the migration or upgrade occurred.

For new users (users created after an upgrade), the Password Set time is configured to the time when the user was created, and the password is set. For users in general (new and existing), the Password Set Time is updated whenever the password is changed.

LDAP Servers

Cisco IMC supports directory services that organize information in a directory, and manage access to this information. Cisco IMC supports Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), which stores and maintains directory information in a network. In addition, Cisco IMC supports Microsoft Active Directory (AD). Active

Directory is a technology that provides a variety of network services including LDAP-like directory services,

Kerberos-based authentication, and DNS-based naming. The Cisco IMC utilizes the Kerberos-based authentication service of LDAP.

When LDAP is enabled in the Cisco IMC, user authentication and role authorization is performed by the

LDAP server for user accounts not found in the local user database. The LDAP user authentication format is [email protected].

By enabling encryption in the configuration of Active Directory on the server, you can require the server to encrypt data sent to the LDAP server.

Configuring the LDAP Server

The Cisco IMC can be configured to use LDAP for user authentication and authorization. To use LDAP, configure users with an attribute that holds the user role and locale information for the Cisco IMC. You can use an existing LDAP attribute that is mapped to the Cisco IMC user roles and locales or you can modify the

LDAP schema to add a new custom attribute, such as the CiscoAVPair attribute, which has an attribute ID of 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.287247.1.

Important For more information about altering the schema, see the article at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727064.aspx

Note This example creates a custom attribute named CiscoAVPair, but you can also use an existing LDAP attribute that is mapped to the Cisco IMC user roles and locales.

If you are using Group Authorization on the Cisco IMC LDAP configuration, then you can skip Steps 1-4 and perform the steps listed in the Configuring LDAP Settings and Group Authorization in Cisco IMC section.

The following steps must be performed on the LDAP server.

LDAP Certificates Overview

Cisco C-series servers allow an LDAP client to validate a directory server certificate against an installed CA certificate or chained CA certificate during an LDAP binding step. This feature is introduced in the event where anyone can duplicate a directory server for user authentication and cause a security breach due to the inability to enter a trusted point or chained certificate into the Cisco IMC for remote user authentication.

An LDAP client needs a new configuration option to validate the directory server certificate during the encrypted TLS/SSL communication.

• Dedicated —The management port that is used to access the Cisco IMC.

• Cisco Card —Any port on the adapter card that can be used to access the Cisco IMC. The Cisco adapter card has to be installed in a slot with Network the Communications Services Interface protocol support

(NCSI).

• Shared LOM —Any LOM (LAN on Motherboard) port that can be used to access Cisco IMC.

• Shared LOM Extended —Any LOM port or adapter card port that can be used to access Cisco IMC.

NIC Redundancy

The following NIC redundancy options are available, depending on the selected NIC mode and your platform:

• active-active —If supported, all ports that are associated with the configured NIC mode operate simultaneously. This feature increases throughput and provides multiple paths to the Cisco IMC.

• active-standby —If a port that is associated with the configured NIC mode fails, traffic fails over to one of the other ports associated with the NIC mode.

Note If you choose this option, make sure that all ports associated with the configured

NIC mode are connected to the same subnet to ensure that traffic is secure regardless of which port is used.

• None —In Dedicated mode, NIC redundancy is set to None .

The available redundancy modes vary depending on the selected network mode and your platform. For the available modes, see the Hardware Installation Guide (HIG) for the type of server you are using. The C-Series

• If you select Flex-LOM, you must install an mLOM-style VIC in the mLOM slot.

For C480 M5 ML servers, Cisco card mode slot is Slot 11 and Slot 12.

The following options are available only on some UCS C-Series servers:

• 4

• 5

• 9

• 10

For C240 M4 servers, VIC slot options are as follows:

• Riser 1 —Slot 2 is the primary slot, but you can also use slot 1.

• Riser 2 —Slot 5 is the primary slot, but you can also use slot 4.

• FLEX LOM —Slot 7 (MLOM) is selected.

Important VIC slot is applicable for Cisco cards and on some UCS C-Series servers only.

Server /cimc/network # set redundancy { none

| active-active | active-standby }

Sets the NIC redundancy mode when the NIC mode is Shared LOM. The redundancy mode can be one of the following:

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

• active-active —If supported, all LOM

Ethernet ports are utilized.

• active-standby —If one LOM Ethernet port fails, traffic fails over to another LOM port.

Common Properties Configuration

Overview to Common Properties Configuration

Hostname

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) enhancement is available with the addition of the hostname to the DHCP packet, which can either be interpreted or displayed at the DHCP server side. The hostname, which is now added to the options field of the DHCP packet, sent in the DHCP DISCOVER packet that was initially sent to the DHCP server.

The default hostname of the server is changed from ucs-c2XX to CXXX-YYYYYY, where XXX is the model number and YYYYYY is the serial number of the server. This unique string acts as a client identifier, allows you to track and map the IP addresses that are leased out to Cisco IMC from the DHCP server. The default serial number is provided by the manufacturer as a sticker or label on the server to help you identify the server.

Dynamic DNS

Dynamic DNS (DDNS) is used to add or update the resource records on the DNS server from Cisco IMC.

You can enable Dynamic DNS by using either the web UI or CLI. When you enable the DDNS option, the

DDNS service records the current hostname, domain name, and the management IP address and updates the resource records in the DNS server from Cisco IMC.

Cisco UCS C-Series Servers Integrated Management Controller CLI Configuration Guide, Release 4.0

135

Configuring Network-Related Settings

Configuring Common Properties

Note The DDNS server deletes the prior resource records (if any) and adds the new resource records to the DNS server if any one of the following DNS configuration is changed:

• Hostname

• Domain name in the LDAP settings

• When DDNS and DHCP are enabled, if the DHCP gets a new IP address or DNS IP or domain name due to a change in a network or a subnet.

• When DHCP is disabled and if you set the static IP address by using CLI or web UI.

• When you enter the dns-use-dhcp command.

Dynamic DNS Update Domain — You can specify the domain. The domain could be either main domain or any sub-domain. This domain name is appended to the hostname of the Cisco IMC for the DDNS update.

Network Interface Configuration

Overview to Network Interface Configuration

This support is added to configure network speed and duplex mode for the Cisco IMC management port. Auto

Negotiation mode can be set for dedicated mode only. When auto negotiation is enabled the network port speed and duplex settings are ignored by the system and Cisco IMC retains the speed at which the switch is configured. When auto negotiation is disabled, you can configure the network port speed (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps) and set the duplex value at either full or half.

Port Properties can be managed in the following two modes:

• Admin Mode —You can configure the network speed and duplex values by disabling the Auto Negotiation option. The default value of the network speed in the admin mode is 100 Mbps and the duplex mode is set to Full. Before changing the network speed ensure that the switch you connected to has the same port speed.

Cisco UCS C-Series Servers Integrated Management Controller CLI Configuration Guide, Release 4.0

145

Configuring Network-Related Settings

Configuring Interface Properties

• Operation Mode —Displays the operation network port speed and duplex values. If you enabled auto negotiation mode, the network port speed and duplex details of the switch are displayed. If unchecked, the network port speed and duplex values that you set at the Admin Mode are displayed.

When you reset Cisco IMC 1.5(x), 2.0(1), and 2.0(3) versions to factory defaults, Shared LOM mode is configured by default.

For C3160 servers, if you reset to factory defaults, Dedicated mode is configured to Full duplex mode with

100 Mbps speed by default.

Configuring Interface Properties

The settings on the switch must match with the Cisco IMC settings to avoid any speed or duplex mismatch.

Network Security Configuration

Network Security

The Cisco IMC uses IP blocking as network security. IP blocking prevents the connection between a server or website and certain IP addresses or ranges of addresses. IP blocking effectively bans undesired connections from those computers to a website, mail server, or other Internet servers.

IP banning is commonly used to protect against denial of service (DoS) attacks. Cisco IMC bans IP addresses by setting up an IP blocking fail count.

Configuring Network Security

Configure network security if you want to set up an IP blocking fail count.

Network Time Protocol Configuration

Configuring Network Time Protocol Settings

By default, when Cisco IMC is reset, it synchronizes the time with the host. With the introduction of the NTP service, you can configure Cisco IMC to synchronize the time with an NTP server. The NTP server does not run in Cisco IMC by default. You must enable and configure the NTP service by specifying the IP/DNS address of at least one server or a maximum of four servers that function as NTP servers or time source servers.

When you enable the NTP service, Cisco IMC synchronizes the time with the configured NTP server. The

NTP service can be modified only through Cisco IMC.

Note To enable the NTP service, it is preferable to specify the IP address of a server rather than the DNS address.

Before you begin

You must log in with admin privileges to perform this task.

Managing vNICs

Guidelines for Managing vNICs

When managing vNICs, consider the following guidelines and restrictions:

• The Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Cards provide two vHBAs and two vNICs by default. You can create up to 14 additional vHBAs or vNICs on these adapter cards.

Additional vHBAs can be created using VNTAG mode.

The Cisco UCS 1455 and 1457 Virtual Interface Cards, in non-port channel mode, provide four vHBAs and four vNICs by default. You can create up to 10 additional vHBAs or vNICs on these adapter cards.

Note If VNTAG mode is enabled for the adapter, you must assign a channel number to a vNIC when you create it.

• After making configuration changes, you must reboot the host for settings to take effect.

Purpose

Note

•

• Ensure that VMQ is not enabled when SR-IOV is enabled on the adapter.

• This option is available only on some Cisco UCS C-Series servers with 1455 or 1457 adapters.

Enables or disables the multi queue option for this adapter and allows you to set the following multi queue parameters:

• mq-rq-count —The number of receive queue resources to allocate. Enter an integer between 1 and 1000.

• mq-wq-count —The number of transmit queue resources to allocate. Enter an integer between 1 and 1000.

• mq-cq-count —The number of completion queue resources to allocate.

In general, the number of completion queue resources you should allocate is equal to the number of transmit queue resources plus the number of receive queue resources. Enter an integer between

1 and 2000.

Note • Multi queue is supported only on C-Series servers with 14xx adapters.

• VMQ must be in enabled state to enable this option.

• When you enable this option on one of the vNICs, configuring only VMQ

(without choosing multi-queue) on other vNICs is not supported.

• When this option is enabled usNIC configuration will be disabled.

Importing Foreign Configuration

When one or more physical drives that have previously been configured with a different controller are inserted into a server, they are identified as foreign configurations. You can import these foreign configurations to a controller.

Cisco UCS C-Series Servers Integrated Management Controller CLI Configuration Guide, Release 4.0

211

Managing Storage Adapters

Unlocking Foreign Configuration Drives

Important You cannot import a foreign configuration in the following two scenarios:

When the secure virtual drive was created on server 1 (from which you want to import the configuration) using the remote key, and on server 2 (to which you want to import) using the local key.

When server 2 is configured with another KMIP server, which is not a part of the server 1 KMIP server cluster.

In order to import the foreign configuration in these scenarios, change the controller security on server 2 from local key management to remote key management, and use the same KMIP server from the same cluster where the server 1 KMIP is configured.

Managing Storage Adapters

Self Encrypting Drives (Full Disk Encryption)

Cisco IMC supports self encrypting drives (SED). A special hardware in the drives encrypts incoming data and decrypts outgoing data in real-time. This feature is also called Full Disk Encryption (FDE).

The data on the drive is encrypted on its way into the drive and decrypted on its way out. However, if you lock the drive, no security key is required to retrieve the data.

When a drive is locked, an encryption key is created and stored internally. All data stored on this drive is encrypted using that key, and stored in encrypted form. Once you store the data in this manner, a security key is required in order to un-encrypt and fetch the data from the drive. Unlocking a drive deletes that encryption key and renders the stored data unusable. This is called a Secure Erase. The FDE comprises a key ID and a security key.

The FDE feature supports the following operations:

• Enable and disable security on a controller

• Create a secure virtual drive

• Secure a non-secure drive group

• Unlock foreign configuration drives

• Enable security on a physical drive (JBOD)

• Clear secure SED drives

• Clear secure foreign configuration

Scenarios to consider While Configuring Controller Security in a Dual or Multiple Controllers

Environment

Note Dual or Multiple controllers connectivity is available only on some servers.

Controller security can be enabled, disabled, or modified independently. However, local and remote key management applies to all the controllers on the server. Therefore security action involving switching the key management modes must be performed with caution. In a scenario where both controllers are secure, and you decide to move one of the controllers to a different mode, you need to perform the same operation on the other controller as well.

Consider the following two scenarios:

• Scenario 1—Key management is set to remote; both controllers are secure and use remote key management. If you now wish to switch to local key management, switch the key management for each controller and disable remote key management.

• Scenario 2—Key management is set to local; both controllers are secure and use local key management.

If you now wish to switch to remote key management, enable remote key management and switch the key management for each controller.

If you do not modify the controller security method on any one of the controllers, it renders the secure key management in an unsupported configuration state.

Managing the Flexible Flash Controller

Cisco Flexible Flash

On the M5 servers, Flexible Flash Controller is inserted into the mini storage module socket. The mini storage socket is inserted into the M.2 slot on the motherboard. M.2 slot also supports SATA M.2 SSD slots.

Note M.2 slot does not support NVMe in this release.

Some C-Series Rack-Mount Servers support an internal Secure Digital (SD) memory card for storage of server software tools and utilities. The SD card is hosted by the Cisco Flexible Flash storage adapter.

The SD storage is available to Cisco IMC as a single hypervisor (HV) partition configuration. Prior versions had four virtual USB drives. Three were preloaded with Cisco UCS Server Configuration Utility, Cisco drivers and Cisco Host Upgrade Utility, and the fourth as user-installed hypervisor. A single HV partition configuration is also created when you upgrade to the latest version of Cisco IMC or downgrade to the prior version, and reset the configuration.

Card Management Feature in the Cisco Flexible Flash Controller

The Cisco Flexible Flash controller supports management of both single and two SD cards as a RAID-1 pair.

With the introduction of card management, you can perform the following tasks:

Note • If you want to upgrade from version 1.4(5e) to 1.5(4) or higher versions, you must first upgrade to version1.5(2) and then upgrade to a higher version of Cisco IMC.

• Reset the Cisco Flexible Flash controller to load the latest Flex Flash firmware after every Cisco IMC firmware upgrade.

Action

Reset Cisco Flex Flash

Reset Partition Defaults

Synchronize Card Configuration

Configure Operational Profile

Description

Allows you to reset the controller.

Allows you to reset the configuration in the selected slot to the default configuration.

Allows you to retain the configuration for an SD card that supports firmware version 253 and later.

Allows you to configure the SD cards on the selected

Cisco Flexible Flash controller.

RAID Partition Enumeration

Non-RAID partitions are always enumerated from the primary card and the enumeration does not depend on the status of the primary card.

Following is the behavior of the RAID partition enumeration when there are two cards in the Cisco Flexible

Flash controller:

Scenario

Single card

Behavior

RAID partitions are enumerated if the card is healthy, and if the mode is either Primary or

Secondary-active .

250

Cisco UCS C-Series Servers Integrated Management Controller CLI Configuration Guide, Release 4.0

Managing Storage Adapters

Upgrading from Single Card to Dual Card Mirroring with FlexFlash

Scenario

Dual paired cards

Dual unpaired cards

Behavior

RAID partitions are enumerated if one of the cards is healthy.

When only one card is healthy, all read/write operations occur on this healthy card. You must use

UCS SCU to synchronize the two RAID partitions.

If this scenario is detected when the server is restarting, then neither one of the RAID partitions is enumerated.

If this scenario is detected when the server is running, when a user connects a new SD card, then the cards are not managed by the Cisco Flexible Flash controller. This does not affect the host enumeration.

You must pair the cards to manage them. You can pair the cards using the Reset Partition Defaults or

Synchronize Card Configuration options.

Upgrading from Single Card to Dual Card Mirroring with FlexFlash

You can upgrade from a single card mirroring to dual card mirroring with FlexFlash in one of the following methods:

• Add an empty FlexFlash card to the server, and then upgrade its firmware to the latest version.

• Upgrade the FlexFlash firmware to the latest version and then add an empty card to the server.

Prior to using either of these methods, you must keep in mind the following guidelines:

• To create RAID1 mirroring, the empty card that you want to add to the server must be of the exact size of the card that is already in the server. Identical card size is a must to set up RAID1 mirroring.

• Ensure that the card with valid data in the Hypervisor partition is marked as the primary healthy card.

You can determine this state either in the Cisco IMC GUI or from the Cisco IMC CLI. To mark the state of the card as primary healthy, you can either use the Reset Configuration option in the Cisco IMC GUI or run the reset-config command in the Cisco IMC CLI. When you reset the configuration of a particular card, the secondary card is marked as secondary active unhealthy.

• In a Degraded RAID health state all read-write transactions are done on the healthy card. In this scenario, data mirroring does not occur. Data mirroring occurs only in the Healthy RAID state.

• Data mirroring is only applicable to RAID partitions. In the C-series servers, only Hypervisor partitions operate in the RAID mode.

• If you have not configured SD cards for use with prior versions, then upgrading to the latest version loads the latest 253 firmware and enumerates all four partitions to the host.

While upgrading versions of the FlexFlash, you may see the following error message:

Unable to communicate with Flexible Flash controller: operation ffCardsGet, status

CY_AS_ERROR_INVALID_RESPONSE”

Cisco UCS C-Series Servers Integrated Management Controller CLI Configuration Guide, Release 4.0

251

Managing Storage Adapters

Configuring the Flexible Flash Controller Properties for C220 M5 and C240 M5 Servers

In addition, the card status may be shown as missing . This error occurs because you accidently switched to an alternate release or a prior version, such as 1.4(x). In this scenario, you can either revert to the latest version, or you can switch back to the FlexFlash 1.4(x) configuration. If you choose to revert to the latest Cisco IMC version, then the Cisco FlexFlash configuration remains intact. If you choose to switch back to the prior version configuration, you must reset the Flexflash configuration. In this scenario, you must be aware of the following:

• If multiple cards are present, and you revert to a prior version, then the second card cannot be discovered or managed.

• If the card type is SD253, then you must run the reset-config command twice from the Cisco IMC CLI

- once to reload the old firmware on the controller and to migrate SD253 to SD247 type, and the second time to start the enumeration.

Managing Storage Adapters

Managing the FlexUtil Controller

The C-Series M5 Rack-Mount servers support microSD memory card for storage of server software tools and utilities. Riser 1 has this microSD memory card slot. Cisco FlexUtil supports only 32GB microSD card.

The following user visible partitions are present on the microSD card:

• Server Configuration Utility (SCU) – 1.25 GB

• Diagnostics – 0.25 GB

• Host Update Utility (HUU) – 1.5 GB

• Drivers – 8 GB

• User

Note The number of partitions and size of each partition on microSD is fixed.

At any time, two partitions can be mapped onto the host. These partitions (except the user partition ) can also be updated through a CIFS or NFS share. A second level BIOS boot order support is also available for all the bootable partitions.

Note User partition must be used only for storage. This partition does not support OS installations.

Configuring IPMI

IPMI Over LAN

Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) defines the protocols for interfacing with a service processor embedded in a server platform. This service processor is called a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) and resides on the server motherboard. The BMC links to a main processor and other on-board elements using a simple serial bus.

During normal operations, IPMI lets a server operating system obtain information about system health and control system hardware. For example, IPMI enables the monitoring of sensors, such as temperature, fan speeds and voltages, for proactive problem detection. If server temperature rises above specified levels, the server operating system can direct the BMC to increase fan speed or reduce processor speed to address the problem.

Configuring IPMI over LAN

Configure IPMI over LAN when you want to manage the Cisco IMC with IPMI messages.

Before you begin

You must log in with admin privileges to perform this task.

Specifies the highest privilege level that can be assigned to an IPMI session on this server. This can be:

• readonly — IPMI users can view information but cannot make any changes.

If you select this option, IPMI users with the "Administrator", "Operator", or "User" user roles can only create read-only IPMI sessions, regardless of their other IPMI privileges.

• user — IPMI users can perform some functions but cannot perform administrative tasks. If you select this option, IPMI users with the

"Administrator" or "Operator" user role can create user and read-only sessions on this server.

• admin — IPMI users can perform all available actions. If you select this option,

IPMI users with the "Administrator" user role can create admin, user, and read-only sessions on this server.

Managing Certificates and Server Security

This chapter includes the following sections:

•

Managing the Server Certificate, on page 297

•

Key Management Interoperability Protocol, on page 303

•

FIPS 140-2 Compliance in Cisco IMC, on page 319

Managing the Server Certificate

You can generate a certificate signing request (CSR) to obtain a new certificate, and you can upload the new certificate to Cisco IMC to replace the current server certificate. The server certificate may be signed either by a public Certificate Authority (CA), such as Verisign, or by your own certificate authority. The generated certificate key length is 2048 bits.

Note Before performing any of the following tasks in this chapter, ensure that the Cisco IMC time is set to the current time.

Procedure

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Generate the CSR from Cisco IMC.

Submit the CSR file to a certificate authority that will issue and sign your certificate. If your organization generates its own self-signed certificates, you can use the CSR file to generate a self-signed certificate.

Upload the new certificate to Cisco IMC.

Note The uploaded certificate must be created from a CSR generated by Cisco IMC. Do not upload a certificate that was not created by this method.

Cisco UCS C-Series Servers Integrated Management Controller CLI Configuration Guide, Release 4.0

297

Managing Certificates and Server Security

Generating a Certificate Signing Request

You can either generate a self-signed certificate manually using the generate-csr command, or automatically when you change the hostname. For information on changing the hostname and auto generation of the self-signed certificate, see the Configuring Common Properties section.

To manually generate a certificate signing request, follow these steps:

Before you begin

• You must log in as a user with admin privileges to configure certificates.

• Ensure that the Cisco IMC time is set to the current time.

Procedure

Step 1

Step 2

Command or Action

Server# scope certificate

Server /certificate # generate-csr

Purpose

Enters the certificate command mode.

Launches a dialog for the generation of a certificate signing request (CSR).

You will be prompted to enter the following information for the certificate signing request:

Name

Common Name field

Description

The fully qualified name of the Cisco IMC.

By default the CN of the servers appears in CXXX-YYYYYY format, where XXX is the model number and YYYYYY is the serial number of the server.

When you upgrade to latest version, CN is retained as is.

Organization Name

Organization Unit

Locality field field field

The organization requesting the certificate.

The organizational unit.

The city or town in which the company requesting the certificate is headquartered.

State Name field

Country Code

Email field drop-down list

The state or province in which the company requesting the certificate is headquartered.

The country in which the company resides.

The email contact at the company.

After you have entered the requested information, the system will generate and display a certificate signing request in the console output. A CSR file will not be created, but you can copy the CSR information from the console output and paste the information into a text file.

-----END CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----

Copy everything from "-----BEGIN ..." to "END CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----", paste to a file, send to your chosen CA for signing, and finally upload the signed certificate via upload command.

---OR---

Continue to self sign CSR and overwrite the current certificate?

All HTTPS and SSH sessions will be disconnected. [y|N] N

What to do next

Perform one of the following tasks:

• If you do not want to obtain a certificate from a public certificate authority, and if your organization does not operate its own certificate authority, you can allow Cisco IMC to internally generate a self-signed certificate from the CSR and upload it immediately to the server. Type y after the final prompt in the example to perform this action.

• If your organization operates its own certificate server for generating self-signed certificates, copy the command output from "-----BEGIN ..." to "END CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----" and paste to a file named csr.txt. Input the CSR file to your certificate server to generate a self-signed certificate.

• If you will obtain a certificate from a public certificate authority, copy the command output from

"-----BEGIN ..." to "END CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----" and paste to a file named csr.txt. Submit the

CSR file to the certificate authority to obtain a signed certificate.

• Ensure that the certificate is of type Server .

If you did not use the first option, in which Cisco IMC internally generates and uploads a self-signed certificate, you must upload the new certificate using the upload command in certificate command mode.

Managing Certificates and Server Security

Creating an Untrusted CA-Signed Certificate

As an alternative to using a public Certificate Authority (CA) to generate and sign a server certificate, you can operate your own CA and sign your own certificates. This section shows commands for creating a CA and generating a server certificate using the OpenSSL certificate server running on Linux. For detailed information about OpenSSL, see http://www.openssl.org

Note These commands are to be entered on a Linux server with the OpenSSL package, not in the Cisco IMC.

Before you begin

• Obtain and install a certificate server software package on a server within your organization.

• Ensure that the Cisco IMC time is set to the current time.

Procedure

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Step 4

Command or Action

openssl genrsa -out CA_keyfilename keysize

Example:

# openssl genrsa -out ca.key 2048

Purpose

This command generates an RSA private key that will be used by the CA.

Note To allow the CA to access the key without user input, do not use the

-des3 option for this command.

The specified file name contains an RSA key of the specified key size.

openssl req -new -x509 -days numdays -key

CA_keyfilename -out CA_certfilename

Example:

# openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key ca.key -out ca.crt

This command generates a new self-signed certificate for the CA using the specified key.

The certificate is valid for the specified period.

The command prompts the user for additional certificate information.

The certificate server is an active CA.

echo "nsCertType = server" > openssl.conf

Example:

# echo "nsCertType = server" > openssl.conf

This command adds a line to the OpenSSL configuration file to designate the certificate as a server-only certificate. This designation is a defense against a man-in-the-middle attack, in which an authorized client attempts to impersonate the server.

The OpenSSL configuration file openssl.conf

contains the statement "nsCertType = server".

openssl x509 -req -days numdays -in

CSR_filename -CA CA_certfilename -set_serial

04 -CAkey CA_keyfilename -out

server_certfilename -extfile openssl.conf

This command directs the CA to use your CSR file to generate a server certificate.

Your server certificate is contained in the output file.

Purpose openssl x509 -noout -text -purpose -in <cert file>

Verifies if the generated certificate is of type

Server .

Example: openssl x509 -noout -text -purpose -in

Note If the values of the fields Server

SSL and Netscape SSL server are not yes, ensure that openssl.conf is configured to generate certificates of type server.

(Optional) If the generated certificate does not have the correct validity dates, ensure the Cisco

IMC time is set to the current time, and regenerate the certificate by repeating steps 1 through 5.

Certificate with the correct validity dates is created.

Example

This example shows how to create a CA and to generate a server certificate signed by the new CA.

These commands are entered on a Linux server running OpenSSL.

# /usr/bin/openssl genrsa -out ca.key 2048

Generating RSA private key, 2048 bit long modulus

.............++++++

.....++++++ e is 65537 (0x10001)

# /usr/bin/openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key ca.key -out ca.crt

Key Management Interoperability Protocol

Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) is a communication protocol that defines message formats to handle keys or classified data on a key management server. KMIP is an open standard and is supported by several vendors. Key management involves multiple interoperable implementations, so a KMIP client works effectively with any KMIP server.

Self-Encrypting Drives(SEDs) contain hardware that encrypts incoming data and decrypts outgoing data in realtime. A drive or media encryption key controls this function. However, the drives need to be locked in order to maintain security. A security key identifier and a security key (key encryption key) help achieve this goal. The key identifier provides a unique ID to the drive.

Different keys have different usage requirements. Currently, the responsibility of managing and tracking local keys lies primarily with the user, which could result in human error. The user needs to remember the different keys and their functions, which could prove to be a challenge. KMIP addresses this area of concern to manage the keys effectively without human involvement.
