Deployment Best Practices

Observe the following guidelines when deploying Cisco DCNM:

- 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.

- We recommend deploying Oracle11g or Oracle 12c for mission-critical production environments.

Note

The password for the database expires after 180 days.

You must change this setting by using the following steps:

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 ms 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 one of the following conditions is met:

- the switch count exceeds 150 switches, OR,

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

- Windows Operating System

- During the initial installation, disable all security and anti virus tools that are running on your Windows server.

- Do not run any other management applications on the Cisco DCNM server or the Cisco DCNM database server.

- Virtual Machines

- When Cisco DCNM is deployed as a Virtual Machine, do not share CPU and memory resources with other Virtual Machines on the virtual host.

- When Cisco DCMM is deployed as a Virtual Machine, do not share the data store with other Virtual Machines.

- CPU and Memory Resource must be reserved for Virtual Machines.

Chapter 3. New Features and Enhancements

Cisco DNCM Release 7.1(1) includes the new features, enhancements, and hardware support that are described in the following sections:

- New Features and Enhancements in Prime Cisco DCNM, Release 7.1(1)

New Features and Enhancements in Prime Cisco DCNM, Release 7.1(1)

Cisco Prime DNCM Release 7.1(1) includes the new features, enhancements, and hardware support that are described in the following sections:

Border Leaf/Edge Router Auto-Configuration

This feature streamlines the Border Leaf/Edge Router auto-configuration. The auto-configuration automatically selects Border Leaf/Edge Router based on device pairing, load sharing algorithm and redundancy factor. The Border Leaf/Edge Router is notified after the pair is chosen and the partition extension configuration is available in network database. The POAP templates and Network profiles can be added. Border Leaf/Edge Router auto-configuration publishes the REST APIs orchestrator and third party application integration.

VxLAN Support for Nexus 6000 Series, Nexus 5600 Series, and Nexus 9000 Series Switches

Cisco Nexus 6000 Series and Nexus 9000 Series Switches (in standalone mode) can identify VxLAN topology by marking the VTEPs with a different icon. VxLAN support allows you to do the following:

- VxLAN topology visualization is available for Nexus 5600 Series, Nexus 6000 Series and Nexus 9000 Series switches (in standalone mode) – marking the VTEPs with different icon

- Search the VTEP devices based on VNI or multicast address

- Display VNI, multicast address, mapped VLAN, VNI status in tabular format for a given VNI or multicast address

- Highlight mismatch in multicast address configuration for a given VNI

- Display active peers of VTEP for a given VNI

- Display all VNI, multicast address, VNI status and mapped VLANs of the particular VTEP in switch inventory screen

Config sync on POAP

If you use POAP to configure the switches, this feature allows you to track the configuration changes made to the device after the initial POAP definition.

Multiple Orchestrators Support

From Cisco DCNM Web Client or using the REST API, this feature allows you to create a new Segment ID range, and provides the orchestrator ID. DCNM will associate the range with the specified orchestrator ID.

Auto- Configuration Deployment

This feature allows you to selectively push or clear configuration on devices for a network.

Three Tier Topology

DCNM supports the three-tier topology visualization for the Fabric dashboard consisting of super spines, spines and leaves.

Secure LDAP for Fabric

When you install DCNM ISO or OVA, the DCNM secure LDAP is configured during installation. By default, this supports LDAP (port 389), StartTLS (port 389) and LDAPS (port 636). Self-signed CA certificate and server certificate are generated with DCNM server name as CN (common name). No additional action is required to enable secure LDAP.

Multiple Mobility Domains with VLAN Translation

VLAN translation feature is a feature that upon ingress on a port, a user frame tagged with an original VLAN, also called “from” VLAN, will be mapped into a translated VLAN, also called “to” VLAN. The subsequent functionalities such as MAC learning and MAC lookup will be performed on the translated VLAN. On the other hand, a frame switched on the translated VLAN will be mapped to the original VLAN before egressing on a port. The VLAN translation is done on the per-port basis. When multiple mobility domains are supported on a leaf switch, in addition to leaf device-wide mobility domain, port level mobility domains are introduced. Each port can be configured with a mobility domain different from the device wide mobility domain.

DCNM ISO Packaging

The DCNM ISO virtual appliance has an operating system (CentOS 6.3) with DCNM. It also provides an option to install additional packages to manage scalable fabrics, including Cisco DFA on demand.

Advanced Feature Trial License

The Advanced Feature Trial License exists on the server after the initial installation and displays a filename and PID text of “30DayTrialLicense”. This provides 500 SAN and 500 advanced feature licenses without having to download or install a single file. This license will work for any licensable switch and expires after 30 days.

Config Archive Enhancement

This enhancement allows you to display a preview, show a configuration difference (diff) and add bookmarks for configuration differences.

Slow drain

DCNM provides an online slow drain diagnostics, and displays the list of devices with potential slow drain issues. The significance of the Slow Drain feature is as follows:

- Helps automate tedious manual troubleshooting. Troubleshooting that might have taken hours or days can be reduced to minutes.

- Automates collection/polling—On demand collection of slow drain related counters is available across Nexus and MDS Fibre Channel fabrics. The entire switch fabric data can be collected.

- Reduces false positives—The slow drain diagnostics fetches a list of host, storage, and switch ports, prioritized by slow drain severity by checking the rate of change in the counters.

- Visual representation—The statistics can be displayed in the bar chart format showing fluctuations in counters over the polling interval.

- User customizable—Provides symptom priority fields, that can be sorted to find specific devices.

EMC enhancement

DCNM enhances EMC call home messages and adds version specific information in call home message body.

Storage VDC for FCoE on Nexus 7706

DCNM now supports Storage VDC on Nexus 7706 equipment. The Nexus 7706 FCoE support allows DCNM to discover Nexus 7706 Storage VDC as seed for SAN management. Nexus 7706 Storage VDC is managed as a fabric switch. After you install and enable the FCoE feature set, all the SAN management features are available from DCNM for Nexus 7706.

Orphan LUN

DCNM supports reporting a list of LUNs that are configured in the storage system, but not assigned any ports. After the initial storage discovery, you can navigate to the Report Feature > Orphan LUN to view the report. You can generate the adhoc reports or schedule to generate a recursive report at a specified time. The report can be exported as .html, .xls, or email formats for further analysis.

Storage System Capacity Trend

DCNM allows you to generate storage system capacity trend and storage pool level capacity trend. You can view the capacity trend for storage system on the Web Client, after the system collects data for more than two days.

Chapter 4. Supported Cisco Platforms and Software Versions

For information about the software platforms and versions that Cisco DCNM supports, see the Cisco DCNM Release Compatibility Matrix.

Note

For compatibility reasons, we recommend that you run the same version (or a later version) of Cisco DCNM as Cisco NX-OS software.

Chapter 6. Caveats

- Open and Resolved Bugs

- Using the Bug Search Tool

Open and Resolved Bugs

Bugs describe unexpected behavior in Cisco IOS software releases. Severity 1 bugs are the most serious bugs; severity 2 bugs are less serious. Severity 3 bugs are moderate bugs, and only select severity 3 bugs are included in this section.

In this section, the following information is provided for each bug:

- Symptoms-A description of what is observed when the bug occurs.

- Conditions-The conditions under which the bug has been known to occur.

- Workaround-Solutions, if available, to counteract the bug.

Note

If you have an account on Cisco.com, you can also use the Bug Toolkit to find select bugs of any severity. To reach the Bug Toolkit, log in to Cisco.com and go to Click Here . (If the defect that you have requested cannot be displayed, this may be due to one or more of the following reasons: the defect number does not exist, the defect does not have a customer-visible description yet, or the defect has been marked Cisco Confidential.)

Using the Bug Search Tool

The Cisco Bug Search Tool enables you to filter the bugs so that you only see those in which you are interested.

- Last modified date

- Status, such as fixed (resolved) or open

- Severity

- Support cases
