UCS Release Notes 2.2 (1d) and newer

[Danny Sandner]

Hey Community,

Am I blind or doesn't exists Release Notes for UCS 2.2 (1d) and newer?

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/release/notes/ucs_2_2_rn.html

If I open the release notes for 2.2, only information about 2.2(1b) and 2.2(1c) is given. Is that right?

Can I find some information about the newer releases somewhere else?

Thanks

Hugo

Hi wdey,

yes, I checked it, but there are only there lines with information about 2.2(1b) and 2.2(1c). Last entry is from February, 9 2014.

I cannot find some new information about changes in 2.2(1d), 2.2(1e), 2.2(2c), 2.2(2d) and 2.2(3a).

You know what I mean? By the way 2.2(2c) is recommend by Cisco.

MfG, best regards
