Cisco UCS and VMware Integration

Cisco UCS and VMware Integration

This document shows examples of using Cisco UCS PowerTool and VMware PowerCLI to build from bare metal up to the VMware Hypervisor.

These scripts not only deployed the Cisco UCS blades but also downloaded the  latest version of ESXi from the VMware website, used this to PXE boot the UCS  blades with VMware Auto Deploy and then finally applied created and utilized a  host configuration using Host Profiles.

There was very minimal pre-work performed for both UCS and VMware in the  environment being demoed in the video below.

For UCS, the pre-work that was performed was racking, stacking, and cabling  the physical UCS gear and performing an initial configuration of UCS manager.   On the storage side, a 200 GB LUN was created and zoned to a range of 18 WWPN's  as well, of course this could also have been done with PowerShell snapins from  some of the storage vendors if needed.

For VMware, vSphere and Auto-Deploy software were both installed and  configured inside of a Windows 2008 R2 server that had DNS, DHCP, and TFTP  installed and configured to best practices from VMware for AutoDeploy.

From there, PowerShell utilizing the Cisco UCS PowerTool module and VMware  PowerCLI snap-ins takes over!!!

Three different scripts were created to perform the following functions:

  1. Initial Configuration - The first scripts configures all of  the pools, policies, VLANs, VSANs, Service Profile Templates, etc. needed on the  UCS side to create new servers to be used in the cluster to be created in  VMware.  On the VMware side, this script will download the latest ESXi  hypervisor, as well as create separate AutoDeploy Hypervisor and Cluster rules  that define the hypervisor version and destination cluster for net new servers  with the Service Profile Template name provided in the OEM strings like  "oemstring=$SPT:CL2012", where CL2012 is the service profile template name.  The  script will create a new service profile from a template, associate it with a  server from a pool, monitor the progress of the association and addition of the  host into the cluster, perform initial configuration of the new host in the  cluster and create a host profile from the configuration, and create a rule for  the cluster to use the new host profile.
  2. Addition of New Hypervisors - The second script is run to  add new hypervisors to the cluster created in step one.  This script  accomplishes that by creating a new service profile from the template created in  script one, associating it, and booting it which will cause the server to boot  via AutoDeploy based on the AutoDeploy and cluster rules created from script  one, which are triggered from the service profile template name.  The script  will verify the host is added to the cluster and is fully compliant with the  host profile created in step one.
  3. Rolling Hypervisor and Server Firmware Upgrade of a Cluster - The  third script will download the newest version of a ESXi hypervisor from VMware,  create a new AutoDeploy rule utilizing it for servers that are created from the  Service Profile Template created in step one.  Once the rules are updated, the  script will loop through each hypervisor one by one in the cluster by first  setting the hypervisor in maintenance which will trigger VM evacuation, shutting  the hypervisor down, change the host firmware pack on the service profile which  upgrades the firmware on the server, powering the server on which will cause the  server to boot the updated version of ESXi via AutoDeploy and rejoin the  cluster. 

These scripts are provided freely as examples of how you can use both UCS  PowerTool and VMware PowerCLI together to achieve end to end automation.  Please  feel free to modify and utilize them as examples of how you might automate UCS  and VMware in your own datacenter.
