If you are referring to a stand alone C series via the HUU ISO, then please see http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/sw/lomug/2-0-x/b_huu_2_0_13.pdf

Hi Sami
Have a look at CIMC supervisor !
Cisco IMC Supervisor is a management system that allows you to manage rack-mount servers on a large scale. It allows you to create groups of rack-mount servers for monitoring and inventory purposes.
You can use Cisco IMC Supervisor to perform the following tasks:
Logically grouping servers and viewing summary per group
Collecting inventory for the managed servers
Monitoring servers and groups
Managing firmware including firmware download, upgrade, and activation
Provide Northbound REST APIs to discover, monitor and manage servers and perform firmware upgrades programmatically.
Managing standalone server actions including power control, LED control, log collection, KVM launch, and CIMC UI launch.
Restricting access using Role Based Access Control (RBAC)
Configuring email alerts
Configuring server properties using policies and profiles
Defining schedules to defer tasks such as firmware updates or server discovery
Diagnosing server hardware issues using UCS Server Configuration Utility
Cisco Smart Call Home provides proactive diagnostics, alerts, and remediation recommendations
Managing Cisco UCS C3260 Dense Storage Rack Server
Configuring the DNS server and other network settings through the Network Configuration policy
Assigning physical drives to server through the Zoning policy
Setting up multiple diagnostic images across different geographic locations
Customizing email rules to include individual servers within a group

Thank You Kirk!
Is there a software or tool where we can upgrade multiple servers at a time? We have 100 servers that need to be upgrade. What is your suggestion?

Thank You Walter. That is very helpful. I will check this out.
Meanwhile if there is anymore suggestion please do share.
I would also like to see if there is any document on how IMC supervisor can be used as SCCM plugins and what is the process.

Sami
