In case you were not able to attend, members of our UCS TME team hosted a deep dive discussion on how monitoring really works under the covers in both UCS Manager and Standalone C-Series Servers.  In this session we touched on best practices, recommendations, demonstrations, and pointers to relevant reference documentation for monitoring Cisco UCS Servers.

The Cisco UCS Monitoring Resource Handbookis a monitoring reference guide that was developed to supplement this session.

Is somebody able to download or open MIB reference Guide,

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/sw/mib/b-series/b_UCS_MIBRef.html

It's a known issue with our documentation team, and they are working to fix it ASAP.  Keep watching the link, as it is correct, we are just working on fixing the backend issue.

We have a workaround link that should get you the document while we continue to fix the backend document CMS issue.

Try this link, which worked for me -> MIB Reference for Cisco UCS Manager - Cisco
