System Restore – Cisco Unified Compute Software and Configuration Management
You can use the restore function for disaster recovery. You can restore a system configuration from any full state backup file that was exported from Cisco UCS. The file does not need to have been exported from Cisco UCS on the system that you are restoring. When you are restoring using a backup file that…

Traffic Monitoring – Cisco Unified Computing Infrastructure Monitoring
Today the infrastructure in data centers is distributed. With layers of virtual and physical devices and systems, the data center infrastructure has become more complex to troubleshoot. The accelerating adoption of IP-based services like cloud computing, virtual desktop infrastructure, and unified communications has further compounded this complexity, massively increasing the scope of the network. As…

Cisco UCS NetFlow Monitoring
NetFlow is a standard network protocol for collecting IP traffic data. NetFlow enables you to define a flow in terms of unidirectional IP packets that share certain characteristics. All packets that match the flow definition are collected and exported to one or more external NetFlow Collectors, where they can be further aggregated, analyzed, and used…

Cisco UCS Call Home and Smart Call Home
Call Home provides an email-based notification for critical system policies. A range of message formats is available for compatibility with pager services or XML-based automated parsing applications. You can use this feature to page a network support engineer, email a network operations center, or use Cisco Smart Call Home services to generate a case with…

Cisco UCS Monitoring Policies
Cisco UCS has two monitoring policies. The first monitoring policy is fault collection and suppression; this global fault policy controls the life cycle of a fault in a Cisco UCS domain, including when faults are cleared, the flapping interval (the length of time between the fault being raised and the condition being cleared), and the…

Cisco UCS Monitoring Events and Logs
The Cisco UCS Manager generates system log, or syslog, messages to record the following incidents that take place in the Cisco UCS Manager system: Routine system operations Failures and errors Critical and emergency conditions There are three kinds of syslog entries: Fault, Event, and Audit. Each syslog message identifies the Cisco UCS Manager process that…

Application Gateway – Cisco Unified Computing Infrastructure Monitoring
Application gateways (AGs) are software agents that communicate directly with the endpoints to relay the health and state of the endpoints to the DME. AG-managed endpoints include servers, chassis, modules, fabric extenders, fabric interconnects, and NX-OS. The AGs actively monitor the server through the IPMI and SELs using the Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC). They…

Cisco UCS System Monitoring
The Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) Manager can detect all system faults. Normally, system faults are categorized as critical, major, minor, and warnings. Cisco recommends that you monitor all critical and major severity faults. As in Cisco NX-OS, the Cisco UCS supports different monitoring protocols, such as standard syslog, SNMP, NetFlow, Call Home, and SPAN…

UCS Service Profile Templates – Cisco Unified Computing Systems Overview
With a service profile template, you can quickly create several service profiles with the same basic parameters, such as the number of vNICs and vHBAs, and with identity information drawn from the same pools. For example, if you need several service profiles with similar values to configure servers to host database software, you can create…
