Options to Manage the Server
Initial CIMC Configuration
Refer the specific server specification sheet (example C240M4)
Check for the available ports and their functionality.
Server (3D view)
Plug the power cord into the chassis, CIMC initializes system standby (Power Off
mode).

Managing the Server Compute Boot Order
When you enable UEFI secure boot mode, the boot mode is set
to UEFI mode and you cannot modify the configured boot mode
until the UEFI boot mode is disabled.
If you enable UEFI secure boot on a non-supported OS, on the
next reboot, you cannot boot from that particular OS. If you try to
boot from the previous OS, an error is reported and recorded
the under system software event in the web UI.
IP Filter fields
To provide secure access to the server, you can
now set a filter to allow only a selected set of IPs
to access it.

Global administrative policies that enable both global and local management of Cisco
UCS domains.
An XML API that builds on the Cisco UCS Manager XML API for easy integration into
higher-level data center management frameworks
Installation
Easy to install & configure.
OVA (supported by VMWare ESXi5.0 U3, ESXi5.1, ESXi5.5, and ESXi 6.0 U1b)
One VM acts as the primary node and the other as the secondary node. This cluster
configuration provides redundancy and high availability in case of a VM failure.
With a cluster configuration, the VMs use NFS shared storage disk for the database
and the images repository.
As a result, firmware images are downloaded to the shared storage. The statistics
used for reporting are also collected and stored in the shared storage.
The two VMs in the cluster should not be on the same server. If both VMs are in the
same server, a single host failure would bring down the cluster.
Installation
Cluster Mode
Both hosts must have the same versions of ESX, HyperV or KVM installed on them.
Both hosts must have access to the same NFS server for shared storage.
You must install the same release version of Cisco UCS Central in both VMs.
You must install the first node completely and then install the second node.
Only NFS shared storage is supported in Cisco UCS Central 1.5 and later releases.
The flash-based user interface is being deprecated, and will not be supported after
Cisco UCS Central release 1.5.
Obtain the hostname or IP address of Cisco UCS Central. You cannot use the same
hostname for both Cisco UCS Central and Cisco UCS Manager.
For standalone mode, use individual VM IP address.
For cluster mode, use virtual IP address.
Obtain the shared secret that you configured when you deployed Cisco UCS Central.
Ensure that the Cisco UCS Manager is running Release 2.1(2) or greater before
registering with Cisco UCS Central.
Ensure that the Cisco UCS Manager Domain that you are trying to register is not
registered to another Cisco UCS Central system.
Register a UCS Domain
From UCS Manager
Register a UCS Domain
From UCS Central
Unregister a UCS Domain
Cannot manage the service profiles, policies and other configuration for the Cisco
UCS Domain from Cisco UCS Central.
All global service profiles and policies become local and continues to operate as local
entities.
Even upon re-registering the domain, the service profiles and polices still remain
local.
Else Cisco UCS Central generates version mismatch errors and any registered Cisco
UCS domains stop receiving updates from Cisco UCS Central.
Upgrade Cisco UCS Central to release 1.5 from any of the following two releases:
From 1.3 to 1.5(1a)
From 1.4 to 1.5(1a)
Recommended to backup the Cisco UCS Central data before the upgrade.
UCS Central Upgrade
Standalone
Reboot the VM and change the boot options to boot from CD ROM.
Mount the Cisco UCS Central ISO image with the virtual CD/DVD drive.
From the Cisco UCS Central Installation menu on the ISO image, choose Upgrade
Existing Cisco UCS Central.
After the upgrade is complete, unmount the Cisco UCS Central ISO image from the
virtual CD/DVD drive.
Reboot the UCS Central VM in either Node and change the boot options to boot from CD
ROM.
Mount the Cisco UCS Central ISO image with the virtual CD/DVD drive.
From the Cisco UCS Central Installation menu on the ISO image, choose Upgrade
Existing Cisco UCS Central.
After the upgrade is complete, unmount the Cisco UCS Central ISO image from the virtual
CD/DVD drive.
Reboot the Cisco UCS Central VM.
Repeat the above steps on the other node.
After upgrading both nodes, wait for the HA election to complete and check the cluster
state on one of the nodes.
Licensing Information
Cisco UCS Central can be licensed either per domain using the traditional product
activation key (PAK) or per server using Cisco Smart Licensing.
