Impossible to access to IMC Web Interface

[MaximeVilain]

Hi everyone,

I'm encountering issues to access to an IMC on a Cisco UCS C240 M3 Rack Server.

The card itself didn't get any updates in a while and is currently running version 1.5(4) firmware.

My question is the following : Is there any means to connect to it's Web Interface now that Flash Player's dead ?

I saw that there are some newer versions of the firmware but I couldn't find any informations about if those newer versions still require Flash Player to connect to it.

Thanks for the replies !

Good Morning, Maxime.
You have a few options.

1. Use the Cisco HUU-NI (Host Update Utility - Non-Interactive)
* Requires CIMC 1.5 for non-interactive update
LINK to Video: https://community.cisco.com/t5/unified-computing-system/cisco-standalone-c-series-huu-utilities/ta-p/3638543

1. Use the KVM cable and update it manually. Be sure and have the required files on a USB drive connected to the KVM. See the LINK for option 3 to understand the procedure to extract the needed files.
2. Use CLI to manually update firmware via SSH
* You still need the files on a USB, follow the LINK below to understand the procedure before starting.

I hope this helps.

Hello Nick,

Thanks for your quick reply.

Do you know if updating the IMC's firmware will allow me to acces the Web Interface without needing Flash Player ?

Good afternoon, Maxime.
Sorry, bad news from Cisco. I have attached the notification PDF, you can find the same information in the UCS C-Series release notes, here is the link to the 3_0_3 release notes. Please read on Page 1 of the document.
