Keep the following guidelines in mind when deploying Cisco DCNM:

- If you deploy Oracle database:

- Deploy an Oracle database on a separate server from the Cisco DCNM application server.

- Deploy an Oracle database when managing production or mission-critical environments.

- If you plan to use an Oracle 11g or Oracle 12c database, configure the Oracle database as follows:

- Increase the number of sessions and processes to 150 each from the default of 50.

- Increase the number of open cursors to 1000 from the default of 300.

- You must change the default setting by performing the following steps:

Note

The password for the database expires after 180 days.

1. Log in to the Oracle database.

2. Enter the commands, as shown in this example:

SQL> GRANT CONNECT,RESOURCE,UNLIMITED TABLESPACE TO username IDENTIFIED by password;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> select username,password from dba_users where username=’username’;
SQL> ALTER PROFILE DEFAULT LIMIT
2 FAILED_LOG_ATTEMPTS UNLIMITED
3 PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME UNLIMITED;
Profile altered.
SQL> EXIT

- Network Time Protocol

- We recommend that the Cisco DCNM server run the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize its clock with those of the managed devices.

- General Guidelines

- Do not deploy Cisco DCNM when network latency is more then 50 ms from the switch management subnet to the Cisco DCNM server and Cisco DCNM database.

- Deploy Cisco DCNM on high-performance tier storage (2 to 4 ms response time).

- Create users with the same password digest and encryption algorithm in the device (for example, Digest, MD5) and encryption algorithm (for example, DES). Cisco DCNM will not authenticate the devices with different digest and encryption passwords.

- Deploy Cisco DCNM-SAN in a federation configuration when either of the following conditions is met:

- The switch count exceeds 150 switches

- The port count exceeds 15,000 connected ports for every management server

- Windows Operating System

- During the initial installation, disable all security and antivirus tools that are running on your Windows servers.

New Features and Enhancements in Cisco DCNM, Release 10.1(2)ST(1)

Cisco DCNM, Release 10.1(2)ST(1) is a template (.zip) file release. You can download the Cisco-defined templates from Click Here .

Cisco DCNM, Release 10.1(2)ST(1), includes the new features, enhancements, that are described in the following section:

VNI-based VDP Auto-Configuration

In Programmable Fabric, end-host reachability management, is an essential function to automate the end-host provisioning in data center networks. There are several ways by which a leaf switch can detect adjacent end-hosts. VSI Discovery and configuration protocol (VDP) is a mechanism to do so. VDP can be used to reliably signal the presence of end-hosts and exchange capability with leaf switches as well as automating the association of the external network state to a VM thereby automating VM mobility seamlessly. This feature running on Cisco Nexus 9300 series is able to communicate with VDP capable Openstack managed end-hosts and perform auto configuration provisioning.

Inband POAP and Management for IP Fabric

A Nexus device with Power On Auto Provisioning (POAP) feature enabled is able to find its IP address and download image/configuration and successfully complete POAP process via the DHCP Server or Cisco DCNM located in or across a VXLAN/EVPN Fabric.

DCNM, Release 10.1(2)ST(1) supports POAP over VXLAN/EVPN fabric via the inband fabric interfaces (IP unnumbered and numbered P2P interfaces) and inband management via ‘default’ vrf in the fabric.

Consolidation of Border Leaf templates

The Nexus 7000 series border leaf templates have been consolidated into fewer templates.

The following two check boxes have been added to the general tab of the POAP wizard page.

- IS_VDC—The check box indicates if it is a Nexus 7000 or VDC configuration.

- IS_PE—The check box indicates if it is a combined border Leaf/Dc Edge function (MPLS handoff) or a BorderLeaf role (IP handoff) role.

The selection of these check boxes (see the table below) shows how to get roles from the new templates.

The following table shows the older template names and the new consolidated versions.

Chapter 6. Caveats

Caveats describe unexpected behavior in a product. The Open Caveats section lists open caveats that apply to the current release and may apply to previous releases. A caveat that is open for a prior release and is still unresolved applies to all future releases until it is resolved.

To view the details of the software bugs pertaining to your product, perform the following task:

- Click the Caveat ID/Bug ID number in the table.

The corresponding Bug Search Tool window is displayed with details of the Caveat ID/Bug ID.

The Bug Search Tool (BST), which is the online successor to the Bug Toolkit, is designed to improve the effectiveness in network risk management and device troubleshooting. The BST allows partners and customers to search for software bugs based on product, release, and keyword, and aggregates key data, such as bug details, product, and version. The tool has a provision to filter bugs based on credentials to provide external and internal bug views for the search input.

To view the details of a caveat whose ID you do not have, perform the following procedure:

1. Access the BST using your Cisco user ID and password at:
Click Here

2. In the Bug Search window that is displayed, enter the necessary information in the corresponding fields.

For more information about how to use the Cisco Bug Search Tool effectively, including how to set email alerts for bugs and to save bugs and searches, see Bug Search Tool Help & FAQ.
