Time Zone

Selecting a Time Zone

Selecting a time zone helps you choose a local time zone so that you can view the local time rather than the default machine time. Web UI and the CLI provide you options to choose and set a time zone of your choice.

Setting the time zone to your local time will apply the time zone variable to all the services that utilize the system timing. This impacts the logging information and is utilized in the following applications of the :

  • Fault summary and fault history logs

  • log

  • rsyslog

When you set a local time, the timestamp on the applications that you can view are updated with the local time that you have chosen.

Single Server Dual Connectivity

On the S3260 storage server with the chassis having a dual VIC and single server hardware configuration, the virtual network interface (vNIC or vHBA) of the virtual interface card in the second SIOC is unused by the server for host network traffic. This second SIOC is only used for Chassis management controller (CMC) redundancy. Effective with this release, the S3260 storage server supports a single server with dual connectivity, which is based on these two factors:
  • The PCIe between the server board and the SIOC card is connected using BIOS.

  • The CMC controls the correct association of the server ID with the virtual network interfaces it creates.

This features allows you to configure a new single server dual VIC chassis property on the Cisco IMC by enabling it or disabling it using the web UI or command line interface.

Based on the Cisco IMC hardware configuration, a specific PCI connectivity is enabled on the VIC. The CMC uses the singer server dual VIC property along with the current chassis hardware configuration to identify the server ID property to be specified when you create a virtual network interface in either of the dual SIOC VICs. The VIC configuration page on the web UI displays the read-only attribute of the Server ID to which the VIC is PCIe linked, and this is used by the host server for the virtual network interface traffic.

Configuring Single Server Dual SIOC Connectivity

Before you begin

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

  • The chassis must have a single server and two VIC adapters (SIOC).

Procedure

  Command or Action Purpose

Step 1

Server # scope chassis

Enters chassis command mode.

Step 2

Server /chassis # server-sioc-connectivity

Enter y at the confirmation prompt. Configures the server SIOC Connectivity of the chassis to single server dual SIOC.

Note

 

This operation will reset the VIC adapter 2 to factory default configuration as part of these changes.

Step 3

Server /chassis # show detail

Displays the chassis details that has the server SIOC connectivity status.

Example

The following example shows how to configuring single server dual SIOC connectivity:

Server # scope chassis
Server /chassis # server-sioc-connectivity
Do you want to configure Server SIOC Connectivity of the chassis to Single Server Dual SIOC?[y|N]y
 
This operation will reset the VIC Adapter-2 to factory default configuration as part of these changes.
Please take backup of VIC Adapter-2 configuration before proceeding with the operation.
All your VIC Adapter-2 configuration will be lost.
Continue?[y|N]y

Managing Dynamic Storage

Dynamic Storage Support

Effective with this release, The Cisco UCS C-Series rack-mount servers support dynamic storage of Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) drives in the Cisco Management Controller (CMC). This dynamic storage support is provided by the SAS fabric manager located in the CMC.

The fabric manager interacts with the PMC SAS expanders over an Out-of-Band ethernet connection. SAS Expanders allow you to maximize the storage capability of an SAS controller card. Using these expanders, you can employ SAS controllers support up to 60 hard drives. In CMC, an active SIOC configures the expander zoning, where you can assign the drives to the server nodes through the Web UI, command line interface or Cisco UCS Manager. The standby CMC is updated with the current state, so during a CMC fail-over standby, the CMC can take over the zoning responsibilities. Once the drives are visible to a particular server node, you can manage these using RAID controller.


Note


The SAS controller support 56 hard disk drives (HDD) by default. There is also a provision to to replace Server node 2 with an additional four HDDs on Server 2. In that case the total number of HDDs shown in the Zoning page is 60. However, CMC would not support zoning for the additional HDDs 57, 58, 59, 60.

The SAS fabric manager provides an API library for other processes to configure and monitor the expanders and drives. Configuration of the fabric involves zoning the drives, updating the firmware for expanders and drives.

Dynamic Storage supports the following options:
  • Assigning physical disks to server 1 and server 2

  • Chassis Wide Hot Spare (supported only on RAID controllers)

  • Shared mode (supported only in HBAs)

  • Unassigning physical disks
