Cisco UCS Platform Emulator, Release 2.2(1bPE1)

Updated July 25, 2014:  Reposted UCSPE 2.2(1b) to fix the expired certificate issue.

New Hardware Features

Cisco UCS Platform Emulator, Release 2.2(1bPE1), adds support for the following new hardware:

• SD card - All supported Compute servers now have SD card in their slot.

New Software Features

Cisco UCS Platform Emulator, Release 2.2(1bPE1) includes the following new features:

• Smartplay bundles with new bundle packs
• Second-level boot order support for Blade and Rack servers
• User-Space NIC (usNIC) support for Blade and Rack servers
• Firmware download support from a local file system
• Direct Connect Rack configuration feature in the Emulator GUI
• SD card firmware upgrade support for supported Compute servers

NOTE: From UCS PE 2.2(1bPE1) onwards, UCS PE supports uploading the B-Series and C-Series server firmware bundles.  Because of the large file sizes of the firmware bundles, UCS PE only supports uploading of only the stripped-down versions (attached to this document), which includes only the firmware metadata but not the actual firmware itself in the binaries.  The stripped-down version of the firwmare bundles which contain metadata only of the B-series and C-series server firmware is reduced to approximately 50 kB in size.

• Download UCSPE Firmware Bundles: UCS Platform Emulator Firmware Bundles (includes firmware meta-data only)

I am getting an error while importing it into VMware Workstation 10 / Player 6.

Please help me.

This is a great document

With VMware Workstation, make sure you download the ZIP, not the OVA.  It is a known issue you are hitting, and you can use the raw VMX / VMDK files in the zip with Workstation / Player instead.

The error you mentioned is a bug we are working on fixing in the Jive platform.  Secondly, what browser are you using to download UCSPE?  It looks like you are using some sort of download manager to do it.  There is a EULA you have to click through on the browser when you click download.  Can you try to download directly from a browser?    

[ericwill]

Can you please try to use another browser like Chrome or IE to download?
