good question! If these are M2 blades then please check out this defect and try applying the 2nd workaround:3.1 and 3.2 UCSM Code Prevents B200M2 BIOS from Updating and Activatinghttps://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCvg08995/?reffering_sit...

5.1U1 support also depends on the type of blade that you may have as well.

Please open a TAC case as Kenny suggested, but also look in to the following known defect and applying the workaround if applicable:CSCub53747

I believe to reload a nondefault virtual device context (VDC), use the reload vdc command. reload vdc "vdc Name"

Few questions for you:What is your CIMC firmware of C200m2 and C220M3 servers? What is your UCSM firmware?What kinds of VIC/CNA cards do you have in your C200 and C220?
