Cisco UCS

The Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS) is the Cisco data center solution. The solution integrates a pair fabric interconnect switch with up to two switches, 40 chassis, and 320 blade servers (blades). A Cisco UCS Manager running on the switch provides management functionality for networking, storage, and blades, and also supports virtualization. CA Virtual Assurance interacts with Cisco UCS to query UCS device information including hardware resource, and health and device statistics. CA Virtual Assurance supports Cisco UCS using a UCS AIM and PMM. For information about the Cisco UCS interfaces and their operations, see the Cisco UCS documentation.

An administrator can register UCS Managers using either the Administration user interface or the dpmutil CLI command. If dpmutil is used, run nodecfgutil.exe to configure the UCS AIM.

Note: For CLI command information, see the Reference Guide.
