I just grabbeb the Show tech from UCS 5108 with a bunch of B-blades and C-blades . That will include controller , FI-A and B , Chassis , Fex and servers .

Here is something to get you started.

UCSM Tech Support -  FI Switch Elements and UCSM Objects.
Extract both A and B . Most important file would be

sw_techsupportinfo:   This is just like a show tech pulled out from N5k Switches. So you will got all the Switching related configs/logs etc.

Sam_techsupportinfo : It contains all UCSM object ie FI/Blade/Adapter/IOM Inventory info , Service Profile/policies info etc.

Chassis Tech Support:  IOM , Blade , Adapter Elements.
Blade TechSupport: Intersting files would be under /oblf/obfl* and /var/log/messages or Critical and may be Sel logs.
