Allocating Inframgr Memory
-
Go to /opt/infra/bin/ and open the inframgr.env file using vi editor.
-
Edit the values MEMORY_MIN and MEMORY_MAX.
For example, if you are managing 1000 rack servers then inframgr memory allocation must be set to 10 GB. Hence, the MEMORY_MIN and MEMORY_MAX must be set to 10240m.
Note
Inframgr memory allocation must be increased only if the memory allocated to the VM is increased. If not, this process may crash due to high load. Hence, increase memory for the IMCS VM using vCenter UI, reserve the whole memory, and then change this parameter.
-
Go to Shell Admin and restart the services by stopping and starting the Cisco IMC Supervisor services.
Configuring Mysql Buffer Pool
InnoDB buffer pool is the internal memory used by the mysqld process inside the Cisco IMC Supervisor VM. You must increase the memory based on the load. To modify this pool size, perform the following procedure:
-
Go to /etc/ and open the my.cnf file.
-
Navigate to the innodb_buffer_pool_size parameter.
For example, if you are managing 1000 servers, then the value must be innodb_buffer_pool_size=3072M.
-
Go to Shell Admin and restart the services and database by stopping and starting the Cisco IMC Supervisor services and database.
Determining Direct Disk Input/Output Speed
-
After Cisco IMC Supervisor VM is deployed, go to the command prompt and enter the dd if=/dev/zero of=test.img bs=4096 count=256000 oflag=direct command. The following output for example, is displayed:
[root@localhost ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=test.img bs=4096 count=256000 oflag=direct 256000+0 records in 256000+0 records out 1048576000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 44.0809 s, 23.8 MB/s
Note
In the above example, 23.8 MB/s is the disk input/output speed.
Upgrading to Cisco IMC Supervisor Version 2.2
Cisco IMC Supervisor 2.2 is available as an appliance. You can upgrade from a 2.1 version to 2.2 using the Apply Patch option in the Shell Admin menu. For information about upgrading, see Upgrading Cisco IMC Supervisor.
You cannot upgrade from version 2.0 Cisco IMC Supervisor to version 2.2. Any version prior to 2.1 must first be migrated to 2.1 and then upgraded to 2.2. For more information about migrating to release 2.1, see Cisco IMC Supervisor Release Notes, Release 2.1.

New and Changed Features in Release 2.2(1.1)
Enhancements to Zoning Policy
Starting with this release of Cisco IMC Supervisor, you can use the zoning policy to assign physical drives to a specific controller slot on servers that support dual controllers such as Cisco UCS S3260 Dual Raid Controller (UCS-S3260-DRAID). However, choosing a specific controller slot is not mandatory. If you do not choose a specific controller slot, then the ownership of the physical drives is assigned to the first controller slot that is available on the server that you selected.
Documented in the Cisco IMC Supervisor Rack-Mount Servers Management Guide, Release 2.2(1.1).
Enhancements to RAID Policy
Following are the enhancements introduced in this release of Cisco IMC Supervisor to confguring a RAID policy:
-
Deriving the Policy
-
Drive Security
Drive security for the RAID policy is retrieved only if the security properties, such as the security Key ID, are common for all controller slots associated with the server. If the security Key ID is not common across all controller slots in the server, deriving the policy will fail.
-
Virtual Drive Configuration
-
While creating a RAID policy based on an existing server configuration, virtual drives from all controller slots in the server are retrieved and listed in the Virtual Drives Configuration screen of the RAID policy. In addition, all related disk group policies are also created.
-
-
-
Applying the policy
While applying the policy, the Drive Security configuration is applied commonly to all controllers that are associated with the server.
Applying the policy to virtual drives is determined by the disk group policy associated with the virtual drives. If a disk group includes slots from multiple controllers in the server, then the Apply Policy action fails. But a single RAID policy can include virtual drives with disk groups that belong to different controllers.
The Enable JBOD/UnConfigured Good configuration is applied to unused disks that belong to all the controllers associated with the server.
Introduction of New Option in the Shell Admin Console
This release of Cisco IMC Supervisor introduces a new option, Apply Signed Patch, in the Shell Admin console. You can use this option to upgrade your system from release 2.2(1.1) to a subsequent release.

Important |
Support for downloading firmware images and automated updates of Cisco IMC Supervisor on versions prior to 2.2(1.1) is deprecated. You are required to upgrade to Cisco IMC Supervisor 2.2(1.1) or later to continue using these features. |
Enhancements to VIC Adapter Policy
Starting with this release, for a VIC adapter policy, Cisco IMC Supervisor allows you to enable or disable port channel configuration. This port channel configuration is applicable only for Cisco UCS VIC 1455 and 1457 adapters.
Note |
|
Documented in the Cisco IMC Supervisor Management Guide, Release 2.2(1.2).
New and Changed Features in Release 2.2(1.3)
Enhancements to VIC Adapter Policy
Starting with this release, for a VIC adapter policy, Cisco IMC Supervisor allows you to configure the Admin Forward Error Correction (FEC) mode for the following adapters:
-
Cisco VIC 1455
-
Cisco VIC 1457
-
Cisco VIC 1495
-
Cisco VIC 1497
By default, four ports are configured for these adapters and you cannot delete them. However, the number of ports configured with the Admin FEC mode varies depending on the adapter you have selected. For example, in a Cisco VIC 1497 adapter, there are only two ports. Hence, the Admin FEC mode is configured only on the first two ports (port 0 and port1), ignoring the remaining ports (port 2 and port 3). For the existing policies, this field is set to Auto. But you can change this value to cl91, cl74, and Off.
Note |
cl74 option is not supported for Cisco VIC 1495 and Cisco VIC 1497 adapters. |
In addition to the default vNICs and vHBAs configured on these adapters, you can create additional vNICs and vHBAs based on the selected port channel state.
Note |
When you modify the port channel configuration for an adapter, all previously configured vNICs and vHBAs are deleted and the configuration is restored to the factory default settings. |
New and Changed Features in Release 2.2(1.4)
Introduction of SFTP User Configuration
Starting with this release, you will need to configure a password for an SFTP user in Cisco IMC Supervisor. This user configuration is used in server diagnostics and tech support processes to transfer files to Cisco IMC Supervisor using SFTP. This SFTP user configuration replaces the previously available SCP user configuration functionality. After installing or upgrading to this release, you must configure the password for the SFTP user. To do so, choose Administration > Users and Groups > SFTP User Configuration and enter a password.
Documented in the Cisco IMC Supervisor Rack-Mount Servers Management Guide, Release 2.2(1.4).
Support for New Versions of Cisco IMC
This release introduces support for Cisco IMC version 4.1 and 4.1.2a. In addition to new features, these software versions include support for new BIOS tokens.
