    Monitoring Management Interfaces

    Management Interfaces Monitoring Policy

    This policy defines how the mgmt0 Ethernet interface on the fabric interconnect should be monitored. If Cisco UCS detects a management interface failure, a failure report is generated. If the configured number of failure reports is reached, the system assumes that the management interface is unavailable and generates a fault. By default, the management interfaces monitoring policy is enabled.

    If the affected management interface belongs to a fabric interconnect which is the managing instance, Cisco UCS confirms that the subordinate fabric interconnect's status is up, that there are no current failure reports logged against it, and then modifies the managing instance for the endpoints.

    If the affected fabric interconnect is currently the primary inside of a high availability setup, a failover of the management plane is triggered. The data plane is not affected by this failover.

    You can set the following properties related to monitoring the management interface:

    • Type of mechanism used to monitor the management interface.

    • Interval at which the management interface's status is monitored.

    • Maximum number of monitoring attempts that can fail before the system assumes that the management is unavailable and generates a fault message.

    Important:
    In the event of a management interface failure on a fabric interconnect, the managing instance may not change if one of the following occurs:
    • A path to the endpoint through the subordinate fabric interconnect does not exist.

    • The management interface for the subordinate fabric interconnect has failed.

    • The path to the endpoint through the subordinate fabric interconnect has failed.

    Configuring the Management Interfaces Monitoring Policy

    Procedure
      Step 1   Enter monitoring mode.

      UCS-A# scope monitoring

      Step 2   Enable or disable the management interfaces monitoring policy.

      UCS-A /monitoring # set mgmt-if-mon-policy admin-state {enabled | disabled}

      Step 3   Specify the number of seconds that the system should wait between data recordings.

      UCS-A /monitoring # set mgmt-if-mon-policy poll-interval

      Enter an integer between 90 and 300.

      Step 4   Specify the maximum number of monitoring attempts that can fail before the system assumes that the management interface is unavailable and generates a fault message.

      UCS-A /monitoring # set mgmt-if-mon-policy max-fail-reports num-mon-attempts

      Enter an integer between 2 and 5.

      Step 5   Specify the monitoring mechanism that you want the system to use. UCS-A /monitoring # set mgmt-if-mon-policy monitor-mechanism {mii-status | ping-arp-targets | ping-gateway
      • mii-status —The system monitors the availability of the Media Independent Interface (MII).

      • ping-arp-targets —The system pings designated targets using the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP).

      • ping-gateway —The system pings the default gateway address specified for this Cisco UCS domain in the management interface.

      Step 6   If you selected mii-status as your monitoring mechanism, configure the following properties:
      1. Specify the number of seconds that the system should wait before requesting another response from the MII if a previous attempt fails.

        UCS-A /monitoring # set mgmt-if-mon-policy mii-retry-interval num-seconds

        Enter an integer between 3 and 10.

      2. Specify the number of times that the system polls the MII until the system assumes that the interface is unavailable.

        UCS-A /monitoring # set mgmt-if-mon-policy mii-retry-count num-retries

        Enter an integer between 1 and 3.

      Step 7   If you selected ping-arp-targets as your monitoring mechanism, configure the following properties:
      1. Specify the first IPv4 or IPv6 address the system pings.

        UCS-A /monitoring # set mgmt-if-mon-policy {arp-target1|ndisc-target1} {ipv4-addr|ipv6-addr}

        Type 0.0.0.0 for an IPv4 address to remove the ARP target or :: for an IPv6 address to remove the N-disc target.

      2. Specify the second IPv4 or IPv6 address the system pings.

        UCS-A /monitoring # set mgmt-if-mon-policy {arp-target2|ndisc-target2} {ipv4-addr |ipv6-addr}

        Type 0.0.0.0 for an IPv4 address to remove the ARP target or :: for an IPv6 address to remove the N-disc target.

      3. Specify the third IPv4 or IPv6 address the system pings.

        UCS-A /monitoring # set mgmt-if-mon-policy {arp-target3|ndisc-target3} {ipv4-addr |ipv6-addr}

        Type 0.0.0.0 for an IPv4 address to remove the ARP target or :: for an IPv6 address to remove the N-disc target.

        Note   

        The ping IPv4 ARP or IPv6 N-disc targets must be in the same subnet or prefix, respectively, as the fabric interconnect.

      4. Specify the number of ARP requests to send to the target IP addresses.

        UCS-A /monitoring # set mgmt-if-mon-policy arp-requests num-requests

        Enter an integer between 1 and 5.

      5. Specify the number of seconds to wait for responses from the ARP targets before the system assumes that they are unavailable.

        UCS-A /monitoring # set mgmt-if-mon-policy arp-deadline num-seconds

        Enter a number between 5 and 15.

      Step 8   If you selected ping-gateway as your monitoring mechanism, configure the following properties:
      1. Specify the number of times the system should ping the gateway.

        UCS-A /monitoring # set mgmt-if-mon-policy ping-requests

        Enter an integer between 1 and 5.

      2. Specify the number of seconds to wait for a response from the gateway until the system assumes that the address is unavailable.

        UCS-A /monitoring # set mgmt-if-mon-policy ping-deadline

        Enter an integer between 5 and 15.

      Step 9   UCS-A /monitoring # commit-buffer

      Commits the transaction to the system configuration.


      The following example creates a monitoring interface management policy using the Media Independent Interface (MII) monitoring mechanism and commits the transaction:

      UCS-A# scope monitoring
      UCS-A /monitoring # set mgmt-if-mon-policy admin-state enabled
      UCS-A /monitoring* # set mgmt-if-mon-policy poll-interval 250
      UCS-A /monitoring* # set mgmt-if-mon-policy max-fail-reports 2
      UCS-A /monitoring* # set mgmt-if-mon-policy monitor-mechanism set mii-status
      UCS-A /monitoring* # set mgmt-if-mon-policy mii-retry-count 3
      UCS-A /monitoring* # set mgmt-if-mon-policy mii-retry-interval 7
      UCS-A /monitoring* # commit-buffer
      UCS-A /monitoring #

      Local Storage Monitoring

      Local storage monitoring in Cisco UCS provides status information on local storage that is physically attached to a blade or rack server. This includes RAID controllers, physical drives and drive groups, virtual drives, RAID controller batteries (BBU), Transportable Flash Modules (TFM) and super-capacitors, FlexFlash controllers, and SD cards.

      Cisco UCS Manager communicates directly with the LSI MegaRAID controllers and FlexFlash controllers using an out-of-band (OOB) interface, which enables real-time updates. Some of the information that is displayed includes:

      • RAID controller status and rebuild rate.

      • The drive state, power state, link speed, operability and firmware version of physical drives.

      • The drive state, operability, strip size, access policies, drive cache, and health of virtual drives.

      • The operability of a BBU, whether it is a supercap or battery, and information about the TFM.

        LSI storage controllers use a Transportable Flash Module (TFM) powered by a super-capacitor to provide RAID cache protection.

      • Information on SD cards and FlexFlash controllers, including RAID health and RAID state, card health, and operability.

      • Information on operations that are running on the storage component, such as rebuild, initialization, and relearning.


        Note


        After a CIMC reboot or build upgrades, the status, start time, and end times of operations running on the storage component might not be displayed correctly.


      • Detailed fault information for all local storage components.


        Note


        All faults are displayed on the Faults tab.


      Support for Local Storage Monitoring

      The type of monitoring supported depends upon the Cisco UCS server.

      • Cisco UCS C240 M4 rack server

      • Cisco UCS C460 M4 rack server


      Note


      Not all servers support all local storage components. For Cisco UCS rack servers, the onboard SATA RAID 0/1 controller integrated on motherboard is not supported.


      Supported Cisco UCS Servers for Legacy Disk Drive Monitoring

      Only legacy disk drive monitoring is supported through Cisco UCS Manager for the following servers:

      • Cisco UCS B200 M1/M2 blade server

      • Cisco UCS B250 M1/M2 blade server


      Note


      In order for Cisco UCS Manager to monitor the disk drives, the 1064E storage controller must have a firmware level contained in a UCS bundle with a package version of 2.0(1) or higher.


      Prerequisites for Local Storage Monitoring

      These prerequisites must be met for local storage monitoring or legacy disk drive monitoring to provide useful status information:

      • The drive must be inserted in the server drive bay.

      • The server must be powered on.

      • The server must have completed discovery.

      • The results of the BIOS POST complete must be TRUE.

      Legacy Disk Drive Monitoring


      Note


      The following information is applicable only for B200 M1/M2 and B250 M1/M2 blade servers.


      The legacy disk drive monitoring for Cisco UCS provides Cisco UCS Manager with blade-resident disk drive status for supported blade servers in a Cisco UCS domain. Disk drive monitoring provides a unidirectional fault signal from the LSI firmware to Cisco UCS Manager to provide status information.

      The following server and firmware components gather, send, and aggregate information about the disk drive status in a server:

      • Physical presence sensor—Determines whether the disk drive is inserted in the server drive bay.

      • Physical fault sensor—Determines the operability status reported by the LSI storage controller firmware for the disk drive.

      • IPMI disk drive fault and presence sensors—Sends the sensor results to Cisco UCS Manager.

      • Disk drive fault LED control and associated IPMI sensors—Controls disk drive fault LED states (on/off) and relays the states to Cisco UCS Manager.

      Flash Life Wear Level Monitoring

      Flash life wear level monitoring enables you to monitor the life span of solid state drives. You can view both the percentage of the flash life remaining, and the flash life status. Wear level monitoring is supported on the Fusion IO mezzanine card with the following Cisco UCS blade servers:

      • Cisco UCS B22 M3 blade server

      • Cisco UCS B200 M3 blade server

      • Cisco UCS B420 M3 blade server

      • Cisco UCS B200 M4 blade server

      • Cisco UCS B260 M4 blade server

      • Cisco UCS B460 M4 blade server


      Note


      Wear level monitoring requires the following:

      • Cisco UCS Manager must be at release 2.2(2a) or greater.

      • The Fusion IO mezzanine card firmware must be at version 7.1.15 or greater.

                  Managing Transportable Flash Module and Supercapacitor

                  LSI storage controllers use a Transportable Flash Module (TFM) powered by a supercapacitor to provide RAID cache protection. With Cisco UCS Manager, you can monitor these components to determine the status of the battery backup unit (BBU). The BBU operability status can be one of the following:

                  • Operable—The BBU is functioning successfully.

                  • Inoperable—The TFM or BBU is missing, or the BBU has failed and needs to be replaced.

                  • Degraded—The BBU is predicted to fail.

                  TFM and supercap functionality is supported beginning with Cisco UCS Manager Release 2.1(2).

                  TFM and Supercap Guidelines and Limitations

                  TFM and Supercap Limitations

                  • The CIMC sensors for TFM and supercap on the Cisco UCS B420 M3 blade server are not polled by Cisco UCS Manager.

                  • If the TFM and supercap are not installed on the Cisco UCS B420 M3 blade server, or are installed and then removed from the blade server, no faults are generated.

                  • If the TFM is not installed on the Cisco UCS B420 M3 blade server, but the supercap is installed, Cisco UCS Manager reports the entire BBU system as absent. You should physically check to see if both the TFM and supercap is present on the blade server.

                  Supported Cisco UCS Servers for TFM and Supercap

                  The following Cisco UCS servers support TFM and supercap:

                  • Cisco UCS B420 M3 blade server

                  • Cisco UCS C22 M3 rack server

                  • Cisco UCS C24 M3 rack server

                  • Cisco UCS C220 M3 rack server

                  • Cisco UCS C240 M3 rack server

                  • Cisco UCS C420 M3 rack server

                  • Cisco UCS C460 M4 rack server

                  Monitoring RAID Battery Status

                  This procedure applies only to Cisco UCS servers that support RAID configuration and TFM. If the BBU has failed or is predicted to fail, you should replace the unit as soon as possible.

                  Procedure
                     Command or ActionPurpose
                    Step 1 UCS-A # scope chassis chassis-num  

                    Enters chassis mode for the specified chassis.

                     
                    Step 2UCS-A /chassis #scope server server-num  

                    Enters server chassis mode.

                     
                    Step 3UCS-A /chassis/server # scope raid-controller raid-contr-id {flash | sas | sata | sd | unknown}  

                    Enters RAID controller server chassis mode.

                     
                    Step 4UCS-A /chassis/server/raid-controller # show raid-battery expand  

                    Displays the RAID battery status.

                     

                    This example shows how to view information on the battery backup unit of a server:

                    UCS-A # scope chassis 1
                    UCS-A /chassis #scope server 3
                    UCS-A /chassis/server #scope raid-controller 1 sas

                    TPM Monitoring

                    Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is included on all Cisco UCS M3 blade and rack-mount servers. Operating systems can use TPM to enable encryption. For example, Microsoft's BitLocker Drive Encryption uses the TPM on Cisco UCS servers to store encryption keys.

                    Cisco UCS Manager enables monitoring of TPM, including whether TPM is present, enabled, or activated.

                    Viewing TPM Properties
