The links still appear valid. Can you try with a private/incognito browser window?

You are right. Links are working with a different Browser. I still have the issue with Google Chrome on two different Systems. But I will check my installation. Thanks for your fast response.

Got the new 4.2.2a UCSPE today.  Having some trouble with DHCP not picking up addresses reliably, but configuring them with a static IP is working as expected.

VMware Tools are showing an old version (9410) and are not running when I start the VM.

Just installed UCSPE 4.2.2a using the OVA using Oracle VirtualBox on MacOS.   However I can't login into the UI using 'ucspe" login. I get a pop up saying 'Connect Error Unable to connect to the server. The application will now exit'

Does anyone know a possible cause of the problem?. I did reset and restart processes but that didn't help.

Thanks

Edit:  It turned out that some issue with Safari browser. Used Chrome and I could able to login in.

I've downloaded the 3.2 and 4.1 versions so far. Like what I see but why not develop an emulator that allows the user to select what they have in their environment. Why not put in all the hardware that Cisco ever produced.

We have 5108 chassis and 6296 FI's with a mix of B200-M3, M4, and EX-M4's.

I am glad to see others and yes I am aware of 5108 chassis being EOL. We will be removing those eventually.

I'm stuck on an environment that has NO service profile. I can't understand how the system even got installed. Now the SSD drives which is internal cannot boot nor be seen. This is NOT an ESXi environment but a standalone windows. I cannot even add a SAN boot device to it.

That is the question I have for the emulated environment. How can I setup a SAN boot which means I will need an emulated storage array like netapp which I will try but need to understand how that might work or is there another alternative so I can test out the environment.

Also how can I set it up to use CIsco MDS switches. We have MDS 9148s in our environment.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi All,

If someone is monitoring this page so that will be beneficial for me as I am trying to download Cisco UCS Platform Emulator almost all versions 4.2, 4.1, 3.2, 3.1.  I have download zip and ova file as well. I do have VMware workstation 16 pro version and whether I am using OVA template or zip file. I am able to deploy it on vmware workstation however when I am powering it on I am getting "error while powering on: failed to start the virtual machine" in all versions so I am not able to use that emulator. Right now I am perusing Learning Cisco Unified Computing System - UCS course from umedy site where that emulator is mentioned for all practice and if I am not using that emulator so there is no worth of that course so kindly help me to fix the issue so that I can use that emulator and practice it for my course and future purpose. It would be appreciable if I get the reply quickly with resolution.  @ericwill @cisco

Hi Jorge,

I run UCSPE in VMware Workstation Pro. In my install, VMnet8 is setup for NAT.  All 3 of the UCSPE interfaces are in that port group.

I can then access the GUI via the assigned DHCP IP at booting.

Regards,

Dave

@jorgemesquita 

Can you get the GUI page to load at all? I've had some instances where I've had to reboot the virtual appliances a few times before I could fully access it.  And it takes several minutes after it first comes up to fully start.

Username and password are both ucspe if I remember right.

When you reboot the appliances, they reset to defaults by design
