Troubleshooting Guide for Cisco UCS E-Series Servers and the Cisco UCS E-Series Network Compute Engine

General Troubleshooting

Cannot Access the E-Series Server or NCE

See the “Troubleshooting E-Series Server or NCE Access Issues”section in the “Firmware Management”

chapter in the CLI Configuration Guide for Cisco UCS E-Series Servers and the Cisco UCS E-Series Network

Compute Engine, Release 2.x.

CIMC Hangs

To resolve this problem, do the following:

•Use IPMI to reboot CIMC. If using IPMI does not resolve the problem, power cycle the E-Series Server.

•Verify that there is an SD card in the SD0 card slot. The SD card in the SD0 card slot contains the CIMC

software and should always be present.

The below figure shows the location of the SD0 card slot in a single-wide E-Series Server.

Figure 1: Single-Wide E-Series Server

The below figure shows the location of the dual SD card slots in a double-wide E-Series Server.

Troubleshooting Guide for Cisco UCS E-Series Servers and the Cisco UCS E-Series Network Compute Engine

Overview

General Troubleshooting

The SD0 card is the lower card, located in the bottom SD card slot.Note

Figure 2: Front Panel of the Double-Wide E-Series Server

•Power down the E-Series Server to check whether the SD card has come out of the slot. If it has, reinsert

the SD card. Do the following:

◦If the E-Series Server is installed in a Cisco 3900 series router, use the hw-module sm slot oir-stop

command to power down the server, reinsert the SD card, and then use the hw-module sm slot

oir-start command to start the server.

◦If the E-Series Server is installed in a Cisco 2900 series router, power cycle the router.

Do not remove the SD card when the system is in operation.Note

CIMC Upgrade Fails When Upgrading from Version 2.2 to 3.1.x

If you are running CIMC version 2.2.x, first upgrade to version 2.3.2 and then upgrade to 3.1.x.

If you have already upgraded to CIMC version 3.1.x, type *** to get into the recovery shell and then install

the image 3.1.x from the recovery shell.

Cannot Download the Host Image

To resolve this problem, verify the following:

•The FTP server on which you want to download the host image is running.

•The FTP server path to the image files is correct.

Cannot Power on the E-Series Server

To resolve this problem, clear the server's BIOS CMOS memory using the CIMC GUI or the CIMC CLI:

Clearing the BIOS CMOS Using the CIMC GUI

Before You Begin

•Log into the CIMC GUI as a user with admin privileges.

•Power off the server.

Troubleshooting Guide for Cisco UCS E-Series Servers and the Cisco UCS E-Series Network Compute Engine

Overview

General Troubleshooting

Cannot Configure Power Restore Policy on ISR 4K Platforms

Due to hardware differences between the ISR G2 and ISR 4K platforms, the BIOS setting for Power Restore

Policy is not applicable on ISR 4K platforms. Instead, the CIMC automatically enacts a “Restore Last State”

policy on ISR 4K.

On ISR 4K platforms, Power Restore Policy settings will be configurable in CIMC beginning with the

Release 3.1.3. On ISR G2 platforms, Power Restore Policy settings are still configured through the BIOS

settings in CIMC.

Note

Boot Order Configuration is not Saved after a Server Reboot

Make sure that you configure boot order through the CIMC, and save the changes (“commit”in CLI or “save

changes”in GUI). Do not configure boot order through the BIOS setup (<F2>) menu. If you configure boot

order through the BIOS setup, the CIMC configuration will overwrite the boot order configuration.

Recovering From a Corrupted CIMC Firmware Image

See the “Troubleshooting E-Series Server or NCE Access Issues”section in the “Firmware Management”

chapter in the CLI Configuration Guide for Cisco UCS E-Series Servers and the Cisco UCS E-Series Network

Compute Engine, Release 2.x .

Recovering From a Faulty SD Drive

See the “Troubleshooting E-Series Server or NCE Access Issues”section in the “Firmware Management”

chapter in the CLI Configuration Guide for Cisco UCS E-Series Servers and the Cisco UCS E-Series Network

Compute Engine, Release 2.x.

Recovering From a Corrupted File System

See the “Troubleshooting E-Series Server or NCE Access Issues”section in the “Firmware Management”

chapter in the CLI Configuration Guide for Cisco UCS E-Series Servers and the Cisco UCS E-Series Network

Compute Engine, Release 2.x.

Verifying and Upgrading to the Latest Firmware Image

Use the Cisco Host Upgrade Utility to verify and upgrade to the latest firmware image. See the Host Upgrade

Utility Guide for Cisco UCS E-Series Servers and the Cisco UCS E-Series Network Compute Engine.

VMware License Troubleshooting

Cannot Apply VMware FL-SRE-V-HOST License

This problem occurs if you are using more than 32 GB of RAM with VMware vSphere Hypervisor ™5.x.

To resolve this problem, reduce the RAM to 32 GB or less, or upgrade your license to FL-SRE-V-HOSTVC.

Microsoft Windows Installation Troubleshooting

VMware Boots After Microsoft Windows Installation

This problem occurs if you had first installed VMware, and then installed Microsoft Windows. To resolve

this problem, do the following:

1Change the state of the physical drive to JBOD. See the “Changing the Physical Drive State”section in

the configuration guides for the version of the CIMC that you are using.

2Configure RAID to clear partitions. See the “Configuring RAID Using the CIMC GUI”section in the

configuration guides for the version of the CIMC that you are using.

The configuration guides are available at: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/servers-unified-computing/

Microsoft Windows Installation Displays VMware Partitions

During the Microsoft Windows installation, the “Where do you want to install Windows”dialog box appears

(see figure below, which displays partitions that were previously created by VMware. This dialog box also

displays the following warning message:

Warning: Windows Cannot be Installed to Disk x

Partition x

To resolve this problem, clear the old partitions by clicking Drive options (advanced), and then resume with

the Microsoft Windows installation.

Procedure

SUMMARY STEPS

1. Verify that the line speed value is 9600. Use the show line command to verify the line speed value:

2. If the line speed value is correct, verify that the Baud rate value is 9.6K and the terminal type is compatible.

Use the show detail command from /bios/server-management to verify the Baud rate and terminal type:

3. Verify that the Enabled option in Serial over LAN (sol) is configured as no. Use the show detail command

from /sol to verify the sol configuration:

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1 Verify that the line speed value is 9600. Use the show line command to verify the line speed value:

Example:

Step 2 If the line speed value is correct, verify that the Baud rate value is 9.6K and the terminal type is compatible. Use the

show detail command from /bios/server-management to verify the Baud rate and terminal type:

Example:

router# ucse 2 session imc

CIMC# scope bios/server-management

CIMC /bios/server-management # show detail

Set-up parameters:
