Hi,
We currently have a standalone cisco C series server with Windows 2012 installed on the local disks. We need to move this server to Cisco UCS managed with a service profile but cannot lose the existing data and OS boot method.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks

Hi Adrian,
To be able to accomplish this set the local disk policy to "Any Configuration" this way UCSM won't overwrite the current raid configuration on the server.
See link below

Let it me know if this helps

Hi Manuel,
Sorry it's taken so long but we finally got around to moving the Cisco C series from standalone to UCS management and you information was perfect.
Migration completed without any issues
Thanks

Hi,
Do you know if is possible to have a C-Series boot from SAN (FC) just like a blade. The server would be integrated in a UCS domain.
Sorry to hijack the discussion :)
Thanks
