MS Win 2k8 and B200-M2 Blade Support

[pjwhitby_2]

Hi All,

I am getting conflicting answers on supportability. We are running the following hardware

B200-M2 blades with M71KR-E CNAs running firmware package 1.4(3i)

and according to the recently released UCS Hardware and Software Interoperability Utility at http://www.cisco.com/web/techdoc/ucs/interoperability/matrix/matrix.html

the use of MS Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 SP1 is not supported unless we upgrade to v2.0(1)

yet according to the Hardware and Software Interoperability Matrix at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/interoperability/matrix/r_hcl_B_rel1_43.pdf

the use of MS Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 SP1 is supported?

which is correct?

Thanks

Hi,

Go by the hardware and the software matrix.

I have checked the combination that you mentioned and it is supported.

Hi,

The conflicting answer was caused by a bug in the new interoperability utility.  It has now been corrected.

Thanks
