Adapter 1 in server 1/1 has unidentified FRU

[technicalBRO]

Hello.

Updated UCS 5108 from version 2.2 to 3.2. Why hasn't it been updated, let's skip this question.
The update process was successful, but an error appeared in the UI - "Adapter 1 in server 1/1 has unidentified FRU".
Found this article - https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/ts/faults/reference/ErrMess/UCS_SEMs.html.
Can anyone advise on how to fix it?
Thank you.

I totally forgot about adapters when answering your other question(s).

Any chance the Cisco VIC adapters are M81KR's (or some other PID on this list)?

• Release Notes for Cisco UCS Manager, Release 3.1
  • Deprecated Hardware, Software, and Third Party Adapters Support in Cisco UCS Manager
    • https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/release/notes/CiscoUCSManager-RN-3-1.html#reference_D8E0F1697DB8476D8B3016D38ECB6E72

If they are M81KR VICs, then you will have to roll back to UCSM 2.2(8x) and stay there.

Hi.

Help me look at this correctly?

Cisco UCS VIC 1240

PID:UCSB-MLOM-40G-01

VID:V01

SKU:UCSB-MLOM-40G-01

Vendor ID:4407

Sub Vendor ID:4407

[Steven Tardy]

The VIC 1240 is still supported in UCSM 3.1 (as "UCSB-MLOM-40G-01" is listed on the release note page I linked previously) and even up to UCSM 4.1(3) by checking the UCS HCL[1].

Also on the release notes page the minimum version is listed, 2.2(1b), so seems like if the server/VIC was on 2.2(3x) that the VIC should still work with that updated UCSM and down version VIC (if that is the current scenario).

Is this happening on all servers/blades? Or just some/one of the servers/blades?

Does the adapter show under: UCSM / Equipment / Server 1/1 / [Installed Firmware] (click the "+" on the top left to expand all.)

If the VIC/adapter shows there, then maybe you can right-click and [Update Firmware]. Wait a few minutes and then [Active Firmware], then reboot the server.
If the VIC/adapter does NOT show there, then I would probably try a decommission/recommission of that server in attempt to fully populate the inventory of that server.

this is only on one blade #1

The screen applies to all 8 blades

Since only one server is impacted this seems more like something not in sync with that one server, and not an overall hardware/firmware compatibility issue.

In attempt to get Server 1/1 fully in sync with UCSM, I would try (hidden) `reset slot` command as detailed in this doc:
