Working with Policies

This chapter includes the following sections:

Global Policies

You can create and manage global policies for Network, Server and Storage in Cisco UCS Central and include them in service profiles or service profile templates for one or more Cisco UCS domains.


Note

Cisco UCS Central does not support Direct Attached Storage (DAS).

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.

Creating a Global Policy

You can create global policies under the Servers, Network and Storage tabs.

Before You Begin

You must be logged in as an admin or as a user with admin privileges to perform this task.

Procedure
    Step 1   On the menu bar, click Servers.
    Step 2   Expand Policies and then root.

    If you want to create a global policy in a sub-organization, expand Sub-Organizations > Organization_Name

    Step 3   Select the item in the tree under which you want to create a global policy.
    Step 4   Click Create on the right pane of the screen.
    Step 5   Enter the Name, Description and other information in the create window.
    Step 6   Click Ok.

    Global policy is created and appears in the tree.

    Note   

    To create global policies under the Network and Storage tabs, click on the respective tab and perform Steps 2 through 6 in the preceding procedure.

    Including a Global Policy in a Local Service Profile

    Procedure
      Step 1   Launch Cisco UCS Manager.

      You can launch Cisco UCS Manager through the Cisco UCS Central GUI, as described in Launching Cisco UCS Manager for a Cisco UCS Domain.

      Step 2   In the Navigation pane of Cisco UCS Manager, click the Servers tab.
      Step 3   On the Servers tab, expand Servers > Service Profiles.
      Step 4   Expand the node for the organization that contains the service profile for which you want to include a global policy.

      If the system does not include multitenancy, expand the root node.

      If the service profile is in a sub-organization, expand Sub-Organizations > Organization_Name.

      Step 5   Choose the service profile in which you want to include a global policy.
      Step 6   In the Work pane, click the Policies tab.
      Step 7   Click the policy for which you want to include a global policy.
      Step 8   From the Policy drop-down list, choose the global policy.
      Step 9   Click Save Changes.

      Policy Conversion Between Global and Local

      Under certain circumstances you can convert a global policy to a local policy or a local policy to a global policy in Cisco UCS Manager.

      Global service profiles and templates can only refer to global policies. Upon deployment, you cannot convert global policies that are included in global service profiles and templates to local policies. You must first convert the service profile or any policies that use the global policy, such as a LAN or SAN connectivity policy or a vNIC or vHBA template, to local.

      When a service profile refers to a global template in Cisco UCS Central and the template includes a global policy, the ownership of the template is with the service profile. The ownership of the global policy remains with Cisco UCS Central, and you cannot make any changes to the policy ownership using Cisco UCS Manager. You can make changes to the policy ownership locally only if the policy is included in a local service profile or template.

      Converting a Global Policy to a Local Policy

      You can convert a policy from global to local only if the policy is included in a local service profile or service profile template.

      Before You Begin

      You must be logged in as an admin or as a user with admin privileges to perform this task.

      Procedure
        Step 1   Launch Cisco UCS Manager.

        You can launch Cisco UCS Manager through the Cisco UCS Central GUI, as described in Launching Cisco UCS Manager for a Cisco UCS Domain.

        Step 2   In the Navigation pane of Cisco UCS Manager, click the tab where the policy is located.

        For example, click the Servers tab to convert a server-related policy, the LAN tab to convert a network-related policy, or the SAN tab to convert a storage-related policy.

        Step 3   In the Navigation pane, expand Policies.
        Step 4   Expand the node for the organization that contains the policy you want to convert.

        If the system does not include multitenancy, expand the root node.

        If the policy is in a sub-organization, expand Sub-Organizations > Organization_Name.

        Step 5   Choose the global policy that you want to convert to local.
        Step 6   In the Actions section, click Use Local.
        Step 7   If the Cisco UCS Manager GUI displays a confirmation dialog box, click Yes.

        The policy is now a local policy that can be managed by Cisco UCS Manager.

        Converting a Local Policy to a Global Policy

        You can change the ownership of the local policies to global only if they are associated with a service profile.

        Before You Begin

        You must be logged in as an admin or as a user with admin privileges to perform this task.

        Procedure
          Step 1   Launch Cisco UCS Manager.

          You can launch Cisco UCS Manager through the Cisco UCS Central GUI, as described in Launching Cisco UCS Manager for a Cisco UCS Domain.

          Step 2   In the Navigation pane of Cisco UCS Manager, click the tab where the policy is located.

          For example, click the Servers tab to convert a server-related policy, the LAN tab to convert a network-related policy, or the SAN tab to convert a storage-related policy.

          Step 3   In the Navigation pane, expand Policies.
          Step 4   Expand the node for the organization that contains the policy you want to convert.

          If the system does not include multitenancy, expand the root node.

          If the policy is in a sub-organization, expand Sub-Organizations > Organization_Name.

          Step 5   Choose the local policy that you want to convert to global.
          Step 6   In the Actions area, click Use Global.
          Step 7   If the Cisco UCS Manager GUI displays a confirmation dialog box, click Yes.

          The policy is now a global policy that can only be managed by Cisco UCS Central and displays as read-only policy in the Cisco UCS Manager.

          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:

          Name Description

          Infrastructure & Catalog Firmware

          Determines whether the Capability Catalog and infrastructure firmware policy are defined locally or come from Cisco UCS Central.

          Time Zone Management

          Determines whether the date and time is defined locally or comes from Cisco UCS Central.

          Communication Services

          Determines whether HTTP, CIM XML, Telnet, SNMP, web session limits, and Management Interfaces Monitoring Policy settings are defined locally or in Cisco UCS Central.

          Global Fault Policy

          Determines whether the Global Fault Policy is defined locally or in Cisco UCS Central.

          User Management

          Determines whether authentication and native domains, LDAP, RADIUS, TACACS+, trusted points, locales, and user roles are defined locally or in Cisco UCS Central.

          DNS Management

          Determines whether DNS servers are defined locally or in Cisco UCS Central.

          SEL Policy

          Determines whether managed endpoints are defined locally or in Cisco UCS Central.

          Power Management

          Determines whether the power management is defined locally or in Cisco UCS Central.

          Power Supply Unit

          Determines whether power supply units are defined locally or in 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.

            • 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.

            Step 6   Click Save Changes.

            Policy and Policy Component Import in Cisco UCS Central

            Cisco UCS Central enables you to import policies, pools, vLANs, vSANs directly from one registered Cisco UCS domain into Cisco UCS Central. When you have a perfect policy or a policy component in one of your UCS domains, you can import the policy and apply it to multiple domains. This import option enables you to import and apply a policy from one registered UCS domain to multiple UCS domains with a single click.

            Using the Cisco UCS Central GUI, you can search for a policy or a component in the registered UCS domains. You can also refine your search using the available filters. From the search results, select the policy or component and import that into Cisco UCS Central.


            Note

            If the search results are more than 1000, the results truncates. Make sure to refine the search using filters.

            Depending on the policy or component you are importing, you can import them into either of the following destinations:

            • Domain group root or to a specific domain

            • Org root or a specific org

            Estimate Impact During Import

            Cisco UCS Central provides you the option to estimate the impact of most of the management actions you perform using the GUI. Make sure to run estimate impact during an import. Make sure to review the estimate impact results. The results will help you to identify any potential issues such as unintentional server reboot or policy overwrite and take proper precautionary measures before importing the selected policy or component.

            Cautions and Guidelines for Policy or Component Import

            Make sure to review the following information before importing a policy or a policy component:

            • In the registered Cisco UCS Domains, if you have Cisco UCS Manager releases 2.1(2x) and 2.1(3x), you can only search for policies or components in the domains. You must have Cisco UCS Manager, release 2.2 and above to be able to import policies.

            • When you import a policy to the root or any domain, if a policy with the same name already exist in the domain, Cisco UCS Central displays a confirmation dialog box that warns you about the policy overwrite. If you select import, the imported policy overwrites the existing policy. You can not retrieve the existing policy after the import.

            • Cisco UCS Central does not maintain back up copies of any policy in the registered UCS domains. For example, if you have a specific BIOS policy in a domain, and you import another BIOS policy without estimating impact, the existing BIOS policy will get overwritten and you will not be able to recover that. When you click Estimate Impact and review the impacts, you can identify the potential risk and take precautionary measures.

            • To avoid losing any customized policies from the domains by import, before importing, make sure to run Estimate Impact. Estimate impact provides you a detailed list of potential issues. You can review the results and make import decision based on the information.

            • If the policy you are importing causes server reboot, when you run the estimate impact you can review that and take proper precautionary measures before performing the import. Sometimes, even if the estimate impact warns about a reboot, the reboot may not happen immediately. The reboot option in the global default maintenance policy would trigger the reboot action based on the selected option.

            • When you import a policy from a Cisco UCS Domain, if Cisco UCS Central does not support some component of that policy, the unsupported components are dropped from the policy during import.

            • If you are importing a policy that causes a server reboot, sometimes the server reboot may not happen immediately after the import. It will happen based on the schedule associated with the maintenance policy.

            Policies that Cause Server Reboot During Import

            The following policies cause server reboot in the destination after import:

            • Boot Policy

            • Storage Profile

            Importing a Policy or a Policy Component from a UCS Domain

            Make sure the policy you are importing does not cause a server reboot in the destination. For information on policies or policy component you can import and policies that cause server reboot, see Policies and Policy Dependents

            Important:

            • When you import a policy to the root or any domain, if a policy with the same name already exist in the domain, Cisco UCS Central displays a confirmation dialog box that warns you about the policy overwrite. If you select import, the imported policy overwrites the existing policy. You can not retrieve the existing policy after the import.

            • To avoid losing any customized policies from the domains by import, before importing, make sure to run Estimate Impact. Estimate impact provides you a detailed list of potential issues. You can review the results and make import decision based on the information.

            Procedure
              Step 1   Click Import tab.
              Step 2   Search for the policy you want to import.

              You can search for the policy in one of the following two ways:

              • Click Select Type drop down option to find the policy you want to import, and click Search.

              • If you know the policy name, type the name in Search policies, pools, vLANs, vSAns in UCS Domains by name field and click Search.

              Note   

              Click the arrow next to Search to expand search filter options to refine your search for a policy. You can narrow your search by specifying options in fields such as, Select Ownership, Domain Group, UCS Domain, and Org.

              Step 3   From the displayed list of search results, click and select the policy you want to import.

              Selecting the policy displays Import and Properties (UCS View).

              Step 4   Click Import to launch the Import dialog box.

              Options in the Import dialog box depends on the policy you have selected for import. Certain policies will display Import As option. You can import the selected policy with a different name in the selected destination.

              Step 5   Specify the Destination for import.

              Depending on the policy or component you are importing, you can import them into either of the following destinations:

              • Domain group root or to a specific domain

              • Policy name or org level

              Step 6   Click Estimate Impact.

              Progress bar displays the estimate impact status. When that reaches 100%, click Review Impact to review the impact of the import in the specified destination.

              Step 7   Click Import.

              If the import is successful system displays Import Successful message.

              Local Policies

              The policies you create and manage in Cisco UCS Manager are local to the registered Cisco UCS domain. In Cisco UCS Central you can view the policies available in the registered Cisco UCS Domains as local policies. These policies can only be included in local service profiles or service profile templates that are created and managed within that Cisco UCS domain.

              Statistics Threshold Policy

              A statistics threshold policy monitors statistics about certain aspects of the system and generates an event if the threshold is crossed. You can set both minimum and maximum thresholds. For example, you can configure the policy to raise an alarm if the CPU temperature exceeds a certain value, or if a server is overutilized or underutilized.

              These threshold policies do not control the hardware or device-level thresholds enforced by endpoints, such as the CIMC. Those thresholds are burned in to the hardware components at manufacture.

              Cisco UCS enables you to configure statistics threshold policies for servers and server components.

              Creating a Threshold Policy

              You can create and configure threshold policies within the appropriate organization in the Policies node on the Network tab, the Servers tab, and the Equipment tab.

              Procedure
                Step 1   On the menu bar, click Network.
                Step 2   In the Navigation Pane, expand Network > Policies > root.

                If you want to create or access a policy in a sub-organization, expand Sub-Organizations > Organization_Name.

                Step 3   Right-click Threshold Policies and choose Create Threshold Policy.
                Step 4   In the Create Threshold Policy dialog box, enter the Name and optional description.
                Note   

                You can create a threshold class and threshold definition at this time, or close the dialog box and add them later later. Click Create Threshold Class to create a threshold class, and then click Create Threshold Definition on the Create Threshold Class dialog box.

                Step 5   Click OK.
                What to Do Next

                • Add a threshold class to the threshold policy
