The "Safeshut Workaround" message indicates that there is a potential issue with the current UCS environment, specifically related to the Safeshut feature. The Safeshut feature is a mechanism to safely shut down the blade servers in case of a power loss. The issue is generally related to the firmware and may cause unexpected behavior during the upgrade process.
The workaround typically involves applying a patch or updating the firmware to a specific version that resolves the issue. This is why the pre-upgrade check recommends contacting TAC (Technical Assistance Center) for further guidance. TAC will provide the necessary information on the exact issue and steps to resolve it based on your current environment and firmware version.
It is important not to ignore this message, as it may result in complications during the upgrade process or even potential server downtime. It is highly recommended to open a case with Cisco TAC to get detailed information about the issue and follow the guidance provided by them to resolve it before proceeding with the upgrade.
In summary, while the issue might not be critical, you should definitely address it before moving forward with the upgrade. Contacting Cisco TAC is the best way to ensure that the issue is resolved correctly and efficiently.
