CIMC is there for C-series UCS for iLO/remote console access and  management:

CIMC Overview

The Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) is the management service for the E-Series Servers. CIMC runs within the server. You can use a web-based GUI or the SSH-based CLI to access, configure, administer, and monitor the server.

You can use CIMC to perform the following server management tasks:

  • Power on, power off, power cycle, reset and shut down the server
  • Configure the server boot order
  • Manage RAID levels
  • View server properties and sensors
  • Manage remote presence
  • Create and manage local user accounts, and enable remote user authentication through the Active Directory
  • Configure network-related settings, including NIC properties, IPv4, VLANs, and network security
  • Configure communication services, including HTTP, SSH, IPMI Over LAN, and SNMP
  • Manage certificates
  • Configure platform event filters
  • Update CIMC firmware
  • Update BIOS firmware
  • Install the host image from an internal repository
  • Monitor faults, alarms, and server status
  • Collect technical support data in the event of server failure

Go to your vSwitch, click properties and add the vNIC you want.

This is really ESXi config, you probably want to look into their documentation.

EDIT: You probably want to have them both at the same speed, you have one at 1 GB and another at 100 mbps.

See below the document explaining the UCS C series setup etc. I realised by mistake referenced link for UCS E series but CIMC functionality is same.

Not sure what you mean, besides the actual server config that you handle via CIMC, the rest is handled via ESXi.
