Lessons learned after installing Intersight:

• Have all the prerequisites done DNS A, PTR and CNAME per the installation guide.
• Convert the OVF to SHA1
• If you have a proxy, make sure getting involved with your security team and allow all the sites.
• Have your smart licensing on check.
• See the installation guide on this link: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/Intersight/b_Cisco_Intersight_Appliance_Getting_Started_Guide.pdf
• As far as UCS make sure at least that you are running the version 3.2.x at least, you will have to update the connector (no reboot required) If you have UCS 4.0.x, you are in luck, no need.
• Any system that needs integration with Intersight, go to devices and register it using the IP or FQDN and credentials.

Sahsin,

The Intersight OVA is for an on site deployment of Intersight.

Is there a requirement to run Intersight on prem?

If not I recommend to use https://intersight.com
