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.

Replicating Microsoft Windows Server to remote site's Cisco UCS using HP 3PAR Remote Copy


In this recipe, we will learn how to create a 3PAR Remote Copy on HP 3PAR StoreServ 7200 between two sites by IP connection.

Getting ready

In this example there are two datacenters, local and remote . Assume that they have a Cisco UCS 5108 Chassis with some Cisco UCS B200 M3 and two Cisco UCS 6248 Fabric Interconnects on each site. Each Fabric Interconnect is connected to two pairs of FC SAN Switches and two pairs of Ethernet LAN Switches. HP 3PAR Storeserv 7200 is connected to Cisco UCS B200 M3 through two FC SAN Switches. You have installed Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 on each UCS B200 M3 in SAN boot. The hardware configuration of remote site is the same as local site. There are two 1 GB Ethernet connections between both local and remote site's 3PAR 7200. The following diagram shows the details:
