Resetting the CIMC for a Blade Server
On rare occasions, such as an issue with the current running firmware, troubleshooting a server may require you to reset the CIMC. This procedure is not part of the normal maintenance of a server. After you reset the CIMC, the server boots with the running version of the firmware for that server.
If the CIMC is reset, the power monitoring functions of Cisco UCS become briefly unavailable for as long as it takes for the CIMC to reboot. While this usually only takes 20 seconds, there is a possibility that the peak power cap could be exceeded during that time. To avoid exceeding the configured power cap in a very low power-capped environment, consider staggering the rebooting or activation of CIMCs.
Procedure
Step 1 | In the Navigation pane, click the Equipment tab. |
Step 2 | On the Equipment tab, expand Equipment > Chassis > Chassis Number > Servers. |
Step 3 | Choose the server for which you want to reset the CIMC. |
Step 4 | In the Work pane, click the General tab. |
Step 5 | In the Actions area, click Recover Server. |
Step 6 | In the Recover Server dialog box, do the following: - Click Reset CIMC (Server Controller).
- Click OK.
