Hello, right syntax to boot FI from image under bootflash ( unless if you have another image file under bootflash:/installables/switch ) boot ucs-6100-k9-kickstart.5.0.3.N2.2.1s.bin ucs-6100-k9-system.5.0.3.N2.2.1s.bin Thanks

Hello, You might be already aware of it but sharing it here. UCS powertool or UCS python SDK does not fit your needs ? you can explore the UCSM MIT via visore -- http://<ucsm-ip-address>/visore.html Thanks

Other things to consider
1) since you have dis-join L2 ( uplink port-channel with different set of VLANs ) , make sure the vNICs are configured with right set of VLANs allowed in the port-channel
2) OS installed in the blade ? does it have enic driver ?

Hello Gary, I hope you would have reviewed your environment ( OS / HW / drivers ) against Compatibility https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/servers-unified-computing/unified-computing-system/products-technical-reference-li… 3.2 Release notes https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/release/notes/CiscoUCSManager-RN-3-2.html Also, I would suggest you to go for the latest patch release ( 3.2.3e instead of 3.2.3d ) as it has additional bug fixes. Finally, I have seen many customers upgrade to 3.2.3 release without an issue. Let us know if you have specific questions or concerns regarding the upgrade. Thanks Padma

Hello, Apart from hardware compatibility, you need to evaluate OS and SAN devices ( switches, arrays ) compatibility I would suggest you to verify your environment against latest patch release of UCSM 2.2.8 series You can perform the infra upgrade ( i.e UCSM FI / IOM NXOS ) via Auto-Install method. For blades, you can perform the upgrade host firmware policy and reboot one at a time or in batches. After the upgrade, make sure you upgrade the drivers within the OS. Thanks Padma

Hello,
Yes, as of today it is useful for UCSM-managed servers where the domain is registered with Intersight.
Partner certified is good for host extensions program.
Would you be able to share what is the alert that you receive from your scanner ?
Thanks

Hello,
VIB helps UCSM by providing host OS inventory and enables to ease the validation of UCS HCL matrix.
You will also get more details when your domain is registered with Intersight ( when features introduced in it )
Following commands on ESXi host will provide more details on VIB
esxcli software vib get -n ucs-tool-esxi
ls /opt/ucs_tool_esxi
Thanks
Padma

Hello,
It might be very late response but wanted to share info on places where you can get help help for UCS plugin and tools ( powertool )
https://communities.cisco.com/community/technology/datacenter/compute-and-storage/ucs_management/cisco_ucs_developed_integrations
you can also send email to ucs-powertool@cisco.com
Thanks

Hello, On a high level, it eases out managing vNICs or VHBA pair which needs to have same set of configuration Cisco UCS Manager Network Management Guide, Release 3.1 - Network-Related Policies [Cisco UCS Manager] - Cisco For example, consider blades with two vNICs where each vNIC traffic needs to go through different FI path. With vNIC template redundancy pair feature, secondary vNIC template synchronize the shared properties from primary templates and reduces error ( MTU, vLAN , etc ) between two vNICs. Let me know if you need more information. Thanks Padma

yes, fabric failover feature is available in UCSM managed mode.
I shared the doc as I am not clear about the deployment.
Fabric failover is recommended in single VIC card scenario to achieve the redundancy

Hello,
Is rack server with two VIC cards managed by UCSM ?
To achieve both VIC and path redundancy, you can team the NIC in OS without enabling fabric failover for the vNICs ( team vNIC created from each VIC card )
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/servers-unified-computing/ucs-c-series-rack-servers/117637-technote-UCS-00.html
# applies to rack connected to FI / UCSM
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/servers-unified-computing/ucs-b-series-blade-servers/200519-UCS-B-series-Teaming-Bonding-Options-wi.html
If you have single VIC card, then Fabric failover is preferred as it eliminates config overhead in the OS
Thanks
Padma

Hello Evgenly, Hopefully, you figured out the answer by this time. Only active-backup ( mode 1 ) is supported on servers managed by UCSM / FI https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt For baremetal OS, it is recommended to use Fabric Failover feature in UCSM ( UCS handles NIC redundancy ). It also eliminates configuration requirement from OS as only one NIC interface is visible to it. Thanks Padma

Hello Changing domain name does not require reboot of FI or restart of services. You need to re-generate the http certs of FI after changing the domain name. Thanks Padma

Hello , In addition, board controller firmware can be running at higher level than other blade server firmware package. It is fully supported to have higher version of board controller firmware i.e when new blades are shipped with higher version of board controller firmware but blade firmware has to be downgraded to match existing UCS Infra version. These faults got generated as 3.0.2 package had 6.0 while blade had 7.0 version. In upcoming release, UCSM fault will be removed in future release via CSCuu15465 as downgrade of board controller firmware is NOT supported. [EDIT] After reading it again, the force option was used to activate to higher version. Thanks Padma
