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.

Hello, after computer refresh, when starting UCSPE 2.2(5a) VM, with vmware workstation I get the error

"Detected CPU family 6 Model 61,

Unsupported hardware device: Intel CPU model"

It's a CentOS hw compatibility

Then the installing UCSPU task is Skipped. I cannot use it anymore, it does not work.

Anyone know how to fix this?

cpu is Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5300U CPU @ 2.30GHz

Thanks!

(Or it is about time I get a server, instead of a laptop.....)

For some reason, all my attempts to download the OVA are failing with an error message saying that the "The requested resource is not available."

Anyone else seeing this?

The change to a new hosting platform for communities.cisco.com has broken many links and downloads – the communities team is working fixes.  Here are direct links to the 2.2(5a) UCSPE
