Hardware Feature Summary
See the User Guide for additional details on supported Hardware. Here is a summary of newly supported Hardware:
Known Limitations
IMPORTANT CONFIGURATION NOTE: Backup/Import of UCSM Configuration
Firmware Management: UCS PE supports uploading B-Series and C-Series server firmware bundles. Because of the large file sizes of the firmware bundles, UCS PE only supports uploading of stripped-down versions (link below). Stripped-down versions include only the firmware metadata (not the actual firmware binaries).
Alternate Download Location: If you have issues downloading the attached OVA or Zip file, please try the cisco.box.com links in the attached Box_Download_Links_3_1_2ePE1.txt.zip file.

Hello,
There used to be a "database persistence" option.
Not there anymore ?
There is no longer an option to persist the UCSM database. Logical configuration backups of UCSM are recommended to save UCSM state across emulator or VM restarts.
Thanks!
You shouldn't have to move your location just change your DNS servers to bypass your local cache server. You can use OpenDNS or Google's DNS servers. That should fix your problem.
Getting error unable to start network services after launching ova file in vmware workstation. No dhcp address assigned to VIP and FIA and FIB. Any idea?
I can't open ova file on vm ware 14 pro. How should i do?
If your having issues downloading, my recommendation is to try it very early in the morning. I tired multiple times last night and couldn't get it done, after reviewing comments from multiple sources I noted the times that people who were successful were posting comments. I kicked the download off at 8 AM CST and it downloaded in about 45 minutes.
Hope this helps someone, because it was driving me crazy last night.
Hi Dave - I configured the UCS emulator to connect to our Microsoft AD, never seen a single error in the process, but after logging out to do a test login the first thing I see wrong is that there isn't a additional field that contains the AD option. I remember in the past there was always an option to type in the user, pw, and also select the remote authentication source, such as AD, that was defined.
Please let me know if the Emulator is not set up for this activity (integration with remote LDAP), or whether the 3rd field in the logon page to select the proper ldap source is not longer used..
When you don't get errors in your configuration efforts, you expect things are working properly. I don't want to begin a troubleshooting process with the emulator if its not coded to actually integrate with an LDAP source.
Thanks in advance if you can get to this question.
Emulator doesn’t have ldap capability and also you can’t install OS on blades

Hi Ken,
I’ve just added this section to the 3.1(2e) page regarding user authentication and I’ll ensure that’s on the release page going forward:
· AAA-based authentication (LDAP, RADIUS, TACACs)— The Platform Emulator accepts security configuration changes, but does not enforce local or remote password authentication. Any username and password combination can successfully log into the Cisco UCS Manger UI with administrator privileges.
Sorry this was dropped from release notes along the way (was in the 2.x notes but was lost as we moved to 3.x). Let me know of other questions.
it works..thanks
Hi all
i am unable ti download the files with both methods, can anyone uploadit on dropbox or mega
I also had issues downloading both files. I think it might be related to the inactivity timeout. Just keep browsing Cisco Communities while downloading so you don't get logged out. It worked for me.
Sorry for the inconvenience. I have reposted the images to box and the links should now be valid.
