Overview of this book

Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) is a data center server platform that is used for computing, deploying, and storing resources in data center environments. This cookbook aims to teach you about various tasks you can implement to improve your existing method of configuring and deploying UCS. You will start by learning how to upgrade your firmware on Brocade and Cisco Fibre Channel Switch and will move on to enhance your knowledge of LAN connectivity. We will then discuss how to configure Windows 2008 and 2012 local boot in Cisco UCS. Next, you will learn how to install the operating system on Cisco UCS and use Cisco UCS Power Calculator to calculate the UCS consumption. Finally, we’ll take a look at backup solutions. By the end of the book, you will know several ways to build and compute in data center environment using Cisco UCS.

Installing and configuring the NIC Teaming on Microsoft Windows

In this recipe, we will learn how to install and configure a Cisco UCS VIC (Virtual Interface Card) Driver and NIC Teaming on Microsoft Windows Server.

Getting ready

Prepare a Cisco UCS 5108 Chassis with two UCS IOM 2208XP installed, each UCS IOM is connected to a Cisco UCS 6428UP and configure two ports on each Cisco UCS 6428UP as an Ethernet uplink port that is connected to an upstream Ethernet LAN Switch by Fibre Channel cables. The UCS service profile (defined two vNIC1/2) is associated to the UCS Server and can boot up the OS successfully. The detail is listed in the following diagram:

Getting ready

How to do it…

In this recipe, we will learn how to download Cisco VIC driver and NIC Teaming driver on the Cisco support website, then install and configure a VIC driver and NIC Teaming driver on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2.

Download the Cisco VIC driver with the following steps

  1. Navigate to https://software.cisco.com/download/navigator...
