Working with Cisco UCS Manager

Domain Management

Cisco UCS Domains and Cisco UCS Central

Cisco UCS Central provides centralized management capabilities to multiple Cisco UCS domains across one or more data centers. Cisco UCS Central works with Cisco UCS Manager to provide a scalable management solution for a growing Cisco UCS environment. Cisco UCS Central does not replace Cisco UCS Manager, which is the basic engine for managing a Cisco UCS domain. Instead, it builds on the capabilities provided by Cisco UCS Manager and works with Cisco UCS Manager to effect changes in individual domains.

Cisco UCS Central does not reduce or change any local management capabilities of Cisco UCS Manager, such as its API. This allows you to continue using Cisco UCS Manager the same way you did before Cisco UCS Central. This also allows all existing third party integrations to continue to operate without change.

Registering Cisco UCS Domains

To manage Cisco UCS Manager through Cisco UCS Central, you must register the Cisco UCS domains in Cisco UCS Central. You can register a Cisco UCS domain as a part of a domain group or as an ungrouped domain. When you have domain group, all registered domains in the domain group can share common policies and other configurations.

You can use a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) or IP address to register Cisco UCS domains in Cisco UCS Central.


Note

During the initial registration process with Cisco UCS Central, all the active Cisco UCS Manager GUI sessions will be terminated.

Before registering a domain in Cisco UCS Central, do the following:

  • Configure an NTP server and the correct time zone in both Cisco UCS Manager and Cisco UCS Central to ensure that they are in sync. If the time and date in the Cisco UCS domain and Cisco UCS Central are out of sync, the registration might fail.

  • Obtain the hostname or IP address of Cisco UCS Central. You cannot use the same hostname for both Cisco UCS Central and Cisco UCS Manager. For standalone mode, use individual VM IP address. If you plan to setup in cluster mode, use virtual IP address.


    Note

    We recommend that you always register Cisco UCS domains using a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN).

  • Obtain the shared secret that you configured when you deployed Cisco UCS Central.


Note

  • If you register Cisco UCS domains using a domain name, Cisco UCS Manager can gracefully move to a different IP address.

    If you register a Cisco UCS domain in Cisco UCS Central using an IP address, you cannot change or swap the IP address used by Cisco UCS Manager. If you need to change or swap the IP address, you must contact Cisco TAC.

  • You can register or un-register a Cisco UCS domain using Cisco UCS Manager GUI or CLI.

  • If Cisco UCS Central is deployed on RHEL 7.2 KVM, the first time you register a Cisco UCSdomain, you must regenerate the certificate using the set regenerate yes command.

  • If the registered Cisco UCS domains have a latency of greater than 300ms for a round trip from Cisco UCS Central, there might be some performance implications for the Cisco UCS domains.

  • When you unregister a Cisco UCS domain from Cisco UCS Central the global service profiles become local service profiles in Cisco UCS Manager.


Warning

You should upgrade the Cisco UCS Manager to Release 2.1(2) before registering with Cisco UCS Central. If you try to register Cisco UCS Manager, Release 2.1(1) with Cisco UCS Central Release 1.1, Cisco UCS Manager will display the registration as positive. But Cisco UCS Central inventory will not display the registered Cisco UCS Domain. Cisco UCS Central faults will display a critical fault on the registration failure.

          Domains and Domain Groups

          When you register a Cisco UCS Manager instance in Cisco UCS Central, that instance is becomes an ungrouped domain in Cisco UCS Central. You will have assign this domain to a domain group to start managing this domain using global policies in Cisco UCS Central.

          Cisco UCS Central creates a hierarchy of Cisco UCS domain groups for managing multiple Cisco UCS domains. You will have the following categories of domain groups in Cisco UCS Central:

          • Domain Group— A group that contains multiple Cisco UCS domains. You can group similar Cisco UCS domains under one domain group for simpler management.

          • Ungrouped Domains—When a new Cisco UCS domain is registered in Cisco UCS Central, it is added to the ungrouped domains. You can assign the ungrouped domain to any domain group.

          If you have created a domain group policy, and a new registered Cisco UCS domain meets the qualifiers defined in the policy, it will automatically be placed under the domain group specified in the policy. If not, it will be placed in the ungrouped domains category. You can assign this ungrouped domain to a domain group.

          Each Cisco UCS domain can only be assigned to one domain group. You can assign or reassign membership of the Cisco UCS domains at any time. When you assign a Cisco UCS domain to a domain group, the Cisco UCS domain will automatically inherit all management policies specified for the domain group.

          Before adding a Cisco UCS domain to a domain group, make sure to change the policy resolution controls to local in the Cisco UCS domain. This will avoid accidentally overwriting service profiles and maintenance policies specific to that Cisco UCS domain. Even when you have enabled auto discovery for the Cisco UCS domains, enabling local policy resolution will protect the Cisco UCS domain from accidentally overwriting policies.

          Important:

          • Make sure to create a separate domain groups for all M Series modular server domains. Also make sure the modular server domain groups are not hierarchical.

          • You must create separate infrastructure firmware policy for M Series modular domains in Cisco UCS Central. The infrastructure firmware policies must be unique to modular servers. This will prevent any issues in firmware policy resolution with other domain groups.

          Creating or Editing a Domain Group

            Step 1   In the Task bar, type Create Domain Group and press Enter.

            This launches the Create Domain Group dialog box.

            Step 2   In Basic, click Domain Group Location and select the location in which you want to create the domain group.
            Step 3   Enter a Name and optional Description.

            The name is case sensitive.

            Step 4   In Qualification, select the Qualification Policies that you want to use to identify the Cisco UCS Manager domains.

            All domains that meet the qualification policy are automatically added to the domain group.

            Step 5   In Domains, select the Cisco UCS Manager domains that you want to add to the domain group.

            M Series modular server domains should not be added to a domain group that contains UCS Classic (B Series) domains or UCS Mini domains.

            Step 6   Click Create.

            Adding a Domain to a Domain Group

              Step 1   In the Task bar, type Assign Domain to Domain Group.

              This launches the Domain to Domain Group dialog box.

              Step 2   In the Domain drop-down, select the Cisco UCS Manager domain that you want to add to the domain group.
              Note   

              You can also select a domain, click the Operations icon, and select Assign Domain to Domain Group. In this case, the Cisco UCS Manager domain is pre-populated in the Domain drop-down.

              Step 3   In the Domain Group Location drop-down, select domain group where you want to add the domain.
              Note   

              Cisco UCS M-Series modular server domains should not be added to a domain group that contains Cisco UCS B-Series, C-Series, or Cisco UCS Mini domains.

              Step 4   Click Assign.

              Managing Domain Group SNMP

                Step 1   In the Task bar, type Manage Domain Group SNMP and press Enter.

                This launches the Manage Domain Group SNMP dialog box.

                Step 2   In Basic, click Enabled, then enter the Community/User Name.

                Cisco UCS includes the SNMP v1 or v2c community name or the SNMP v3 username when it sends the trap to the SNMP host. This must be the same as the community or username that is configured in SNMP Traps.

                Step 3   Enter the optional System Contact and System Location.
                Step 4   In SNMP Traps, click Add and complete the following:
                1. Enter the same Community/User Name from the Basic section.
                2. Enter the Port, and select values for the SNMP Version, the Type, and the V3 Privilege.
                Step 5   In SNMP Users, click Add and complete the following:
                1. Enter the SNMP User Name.
                2. Select the Authentication Type and whether to enable AES-128 Encryption.
                3. Enter and confirm the values for the password and privacy password.
                Step 6   Click Save.

                Domain Group Qualification Policy

                Domain group qualification policy enables you to automatically place new Cisco UCS domains under domain groups. You can create qualifiers based on Owner, Site and IP Address of various Cisco UCS domains based on your management requirements. When you register a new Cisco UCS domain, Cisco UCS Central analyses the domain based on the pre defined qualifiers in the domain group qualification policy and places the domain under a specific domain group for management.

                Creating or Editing a Domain Group Qualification Policy

                  Step 1   In the Task bar, type Create Domain Group Qualification Policy and press Enter.

                  This launches the Create Domain Group Qualification Policy dialog box.

                  Step 2   In Basic, click Organization and select the location in which you want to create the domain group qualification policy.
                  Step 3   Enter a Name and optional Description.

                  The policy name is case sensitive.

                  Step 4   In Owner, enter the owner name and regex.
                  Step 5   In Site, enter the site name and regex.
                  Step 6   In IP Address, add the IP address ranges.
                  Step 7   Click Create.

                  Policies in Cisco UCS Central and Cisco UCS Domains

                  You can create and manage global policies in Cisco UCS Central and include them in service profiles or service profile templates for one or more Cisco UCS domains. The service profiles and service profile templates that include global policies can be either of the following:

                  • Local service profiles or service profile templates that are created and managed by Cisco UCS Manager in one Cisco UCS domain. You can only associate local service profiles with servers in that domain. When you include a global policy in a local service profile, Cisco UCS Manager makes a local read-only copy of that policy.

                  • Global service profiles or service profile templates that are created and managed by Cisco UCS Central. You can associate global service profiles with servers in one or more registered Cisco UCS domains.

                  You can only make changes to global policies in Cisco UCS Central. Those changes affect all service profiles and service profile templates that include the global policy. All global policies are read-only in Cisco UCS Manager.

                  You can configure all operational policies under a domain group using IPv6 addresses. These policies are located in the Operations Management tab of the Cisco UCS Central GUI.

                  This feature helps the Cisco UCS Manager to use an IPv6 address while importing these policies from Cisco UCS Central.

                  Policy Resolution between Cisco UCS Manager and Cisco UCS Central

                  For each Cisco UCS domain that you register with Cisco UCS Central, you can choose which application will manage certain policies and configuration settings. This policy resolution does not have to be the same for every Cisco UCS domain that you register with the same Cisco UCS Central.

                  You have the following options for resolving these policies and configuration settings:

                  • Local—The policy or configuration is determined and managed by Cisco UCS Manager.

                  • Global—The policy or configuration is determined and managed by Cisco UCS Central.

                  The following table contains a list of the policies and configuration settings that you can choose to have managed by either Cisco UCS Manager or Cisco UCS Central:

                  Consequences of Policy Resolution Changes

                  When you register a Cisco UCS domain, you configure policies for local or global resolution. The behavior that occurs when the Cisco UCS domain is registered or when that registration or configuration changes, depends upon several factors, including whether a domain group has been assigned or not.

                  The following table describes the policy resolution behavior you can expect for each type of policy.

                  Consequences of Service Profile Changes on Policy Resolution

                  For certain policies, the policy resolution behavior is also affected by whether or not one or more service profiles that include that policy have been updated.

                  The following table describes the policy resolution behavior you can expect for those policies.

                  Note   

                  If you are using a global maintenance policy in a local service profile, all pending activities must be acknowledged on the Cisco UCS Central Pending Activities page.
