How To Disable UCS Direct KVM

[curtis stanley]

We are having an issue with our IPs of our Direct KVM being flagged with an Apache web server vulnerabilities. We do not even use the IP KVM and wanted to know if there is a way to disable the IP KVM all together. Is this possible? If so how can i do this? TAC has been zero help on this matter and our management is getting  impatient.

So, let me try to understand the question, you are just trying to leave CIMC (which is the one that requires an IP to provide KVM connectivity) without an IP address?

Yes, that is correct.

Only way I can think of is by deleting the "ext-mgmt" pool or the "Inband" pool in case you are using inband management, but I am not sure of all the consequences of leaving CIMC without an IP but one important consequence I want to warn you about is that if you lose remote access, KVM is just best friend for troubleshooting, otherwise you need to go to the lab and console directly... if that is not a concern, I hope deleting the pool helps you accomplish your goal.
