UCS Mini B200 M4

[Bikash Bhattarai]

Hi,

Is Cisco UCS B200 M4 supported on UCS mini solution ? 

When I check UCS B200 M4 data sheet below it says " The UCS B200 M4 Blade Server mounts in a Cisco UCS 5100 Series blade
server chassis or UCS Mini blade server chassis." 

http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/products/collateral/servers-unified-computing/ucs-b-series-blade-servers/b200m4-specsheet.pdf

But I can not configure UCSB200 M4 on CCW when I choose UCS mini chassis. 

Regards,

Hi Bikash

You are right; technically B200-M4 works, however, the UCS mini web site 

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/servers-unified-computing/ucs-mini/solution-overview-c22-732813.html

doesn't mention it yet as supported. This is why CCW doesn't show it. Someone from Cisco Product Management can help here.

Hi Walter,

Thank you very much. I am more confused when I see below deployment scenario page 49-51 of below document.

Hi Bikash

I believe this is an issue with the ordering tool CCW; I would just go ahead, and order B200-M4 as spare; technically it is working and supported.

Cheers Walter.

Hi Walter,

Have you ever tested B200-M4 in UCS Mini Chassis (Cisco UCS 6324 Fabric Interconnect ) ? If yes, then I go ahead and propose to my customers.

Hi Bikash

No I didn't ! the available Firmware 3.0d doesn't support it yet

It's not yet in the Support matrix

nor release notes

Hi Walter,

Now I can add UCSB-B420-M4 to UCS mini chassis on CCW. But this is on hold till 29th Feb 2015.
