CISCO UCSX integration with CISCO ACI

[HOSSAM_OCT91]

Could we have integration with CISCO ACI and UCSX management like the integration between the ACI and UCSM ?

if we could , what is the proc and cons for this integration ?

 Thanks

If by UCS-X management you mean managing APIC servers in Intersight Managed Mode, please see,  https://community.cisco.com/t5/cisco-intersight/intersight-apic-server-support-planned/td-p/4559173 (not a lot of progress in the past couple of years, unfortunately).

If you mean something different, not sure if this is your usage case: We have Cisco ACI VMM integration from Cisco APIC to vCenter Server, and have both UCS and UCS-X domains (in UCS managed mode). We will be moving some domains from UCS MM to IMM in the near future using the Cisco IMM Transition Tool. I don’t see how UCS domains in Intersight Managed Mode would be any different (e.g. you provision a pool/range of VLANs in Intersight on a vNIC template or network connectivity policy, which is pushed down to the domain and SPs).

As of today, ACI integration with IMM(Intersight Managed Mode) is not available yet. If you want this functionality, kindly contact your Cisco Account team to forward this request to the BU.

As an alternative, you can use Terraform/Ansible/Python or other options to make API calls to ACI and Intersight to achieve the desired outcome. This is more of a DIY approach and would require some work.
