Appendix D Installation for Cisco UCS Integration
Upgrading a Server Earlier Than Release 1.2(2) for Cisco UCS Integration
Note The new CIMC firmware is activated automatically during this reboot.
The utility reboots the server with UCSM mode settings. This mode allows integration with the Cisco
UCS environment.
Note These UCSM mode settings enable DHCP, Active-Active NIC redundancy, and Shared LOM
NIC mode, which enables CIMC control through the 1Gb LOM ports, rather than the
management port. Any static IP addresses and the management port are disabled, so you lose
connection with the CIMC. To connect the server to your Cisco UCS fabric interconnects,
continue with 2. Physically Connecting the Server to the Cisco UCS Environment, page D-8.
2. Physically Connecting the Server to the Cisco UCS Environment
Use the following procedure to connect the Cisco UCS C200 server to the Cisco UCS environment.
Step 1 Connect the management traffic paths (see Figure D-2):
a. Connect an RJ45 Ethernet cable between 1Gb port Eth1 on the rear panel of the server and a port on
a fabric extender in Fabric A.
b. Connect an RJ45 Ethernet cable between 1Gb port Eth2 on the rear panel of the server and a port on
a fabric extender in Fabric B.
c. Connect a 10 Gb SFP cable between fabric extender A and a port on fabric interconnect A. The port
that you use on fabric interconnect A must be enabled for server traffic.
d. Connect a 10 Gb SFP cable between fabric extender B and a port on fabric interconnect B. The port
that you use on fabric interconnect B must be enabled for server traffic.
Step 2 Connect the data traffic paths (see Figure D-2):
a. Connect a 10 Gb SFP cable between the 10 Gb adapter card in the server and a port on fabric
interconnect A. The port that you use on fabric interconnect A must be enabled for server traffic.
b. Connect a 10 Gb SFP cable between the 10 Gb adapter card in the server and a port on fabric
interconnect B. The port that you use on fabric interconnect B must be enabled for server traffic.
Step 3 Reboot the server so that it is discovered by the Cisco UCS Manager software.
Step 4 To view and configure settings for the server from within the Cisco UCS Manager software, see the
information instructions in the Cisco UCS Manager Configuration Guide for Release 1.4(1) or later.
