Cisco Prime and UCS 220M3

[Khurram Noor]

Dear folks,

I have a confusion in one of my deployments. My client ordered initially a UCS 220M3 server, which came along with a windows CD. It was supposed to be used as an LMS 4.1 server. Later on there were some variation and customer wants to have prime infrastructure over it. Now I am unable to understand how to do it. The server which came doesnt have any OS. It has one 600 GB hard drive. Can anyone guide me what should i do / or order additionally to work out through this. I am pasting the BoQ for this server which is the original one before variation, the task is to make it work with Prime Infrastructure. Along with this i am attaching some snaps of the physical server and CIMC console...just to clear out any doubts... i will be very thankful if you suggest me the correct way.

You have the necessary CPU, memory and hard drive specifications for an Express size installation (Reference).

To install Prime Infrastructure 2.0 you will need to first install VMware ESX/ESXi. This is documented in the same Getting Started Guide I linked to above at this link.

Once you get that far along, just follow the setup wizard and installation is pretty simple.

FYI you will get better attention to Prime questions over in the Network Management forum.

I tried hard today with this server but unsuccessful. I was able to make virtual drive, but when I run the setup, the vmware is not able to find any virtual drive in the system to get installed on.
