Activating the Fabric Interconnect Firmware for a Cluster Configuration

ADAman
Level 1
Level 1

I have been following the upgrade Guide within 2.0. everything went smooth until I started on the FIs. I activated the FI-B first, then I set FI-B as the lead. Since then I have not been able to log into UCSM GUI. The virtual IP is not responding. FI-B is not responding on ping also.

The problem started at the end of page 40 in the "Upgrade UCS from 2.0 to 2.x" guide.

Is there a way to restart the web-server, perhaps? Bear in mind I am in the middle of a upgrade scenario. I have different firmware on the two FIs, because the FI-B has already been upgraded according to the instructions in the Upgrade Guide.

When I log into he two FIs, everything seems to be normal. I think the problem could have arosen, because of the strange 10 minute time difference I have reported earlier today.

See output from events here.

I cannot log in with SSH to FI-B also. Remember, I reported a problem setting the clock on FI-B? It was always 10 minutes faster. The error above is on FI-A, but I think it is on FI-B also. I wil now try to set the clocks again on both FIs.

I took a backup of the full config. Will a restore set it back to where I started? (But still a problem with time differences)

That did not help. Same situation. Cluster is reporting it is ok, but I cannot log into both virtual and FI-B.

I think somehow this step went wrong:

Step 2 To activate the IOM firmware, do the following in the Activate Firmware dialog box:

a) From the Filter drop-down list, choose IO Modules.

b) From the Set Version drop-down list, choose the version for the current 2.0 release.

c) Check the Ignore Compatibility Check check box.

d) Check the Set Startup Version Only check box.

When you configure Set Startup Version Only for an I/O module, the I/O module is rebooted

when the fabric interconnect in its data path is rebooted. If you do not configure Set Startup

Version Only for an I/O module, the I/O module reboots and disrupts traffic. In addition, if

Cisco UCS Manager detects a protocol and firmware version mismatch between the fabric

interconnect and the I/O module, Cisco UCS Manager automatically updates the I/O module

with the firmware version that matches the firmware in the fabric interconnect and then

activates the firmware and reboots the I/O module again.

Important

e) Click Apply.

When the Activate Status column for all IOMs displays pending-next-boot, continue with Step 3.

Step 3 Click OK.

Because:

IOM-A seems never to be activated, because the package-version is 2.0(1t)

Since the IOM firware is different on IOM-A, I think maybe start there?

Is this how I do it (Cannot do this in scope firmware)

FI6120XP-A /system # activate firmware  ucs-2100.2.0.3b.bin (I have a 2104XP)

ADAman

I now understand more. The reason FI-A and IOM-A are showing old packages is that IOM-A will only upgrade to the newest version when we activate the new fw for FI-A. So the solution may be to go ahead and do this on CLI. Then they both will be updated.

But my gui problem may still be there. This may be 2 different problems. I just thought the GUI problem was related to this.

I am thinking to activate these two:

Kernel: ucs-6100-k9-kickstart.5.0.3.N2.2.03b.bin

System: ucs-6100-k9-system.5.0.3.N2.2.03b.bin

In Gui these are done at the same time. Here they will have to be executed on at a time.

This can be closed. We found the mistake: The FI-B was connected with mgmt1 interface. Therefore when we switched management over to FI-B we could no longer access the GUI...The same error caused my time sync issues.. Tis can be closed.

thanks for the post really helped us
