Cisco UCS Management

The CA Virtual Assurance integration with Cisco UCS lets you manage your UCS switches, chassis, and blades from a centralized user interface. The UCS Manager running on a switch is the location from which you can view UCS resources and perform management operations such as cloning, snapshots, power operations, and so on.

This section describes the resource management operations that you can perform on Cisco UCS resources from the Resources page. The Resources page displays basic information about the following UCS objects:

The Summary page lets you view information associated with that object (for example, a chassis summary can display its blades, or a blade summary can display its storage) and events associated with the resource.

If available, a Details page lets you view other resource information, such as system properties, software, hardware, performance, and so on. After you assign an automation source here, default access and management profiles are automatically created for the system and discovery is run.

Other pages can be available to perform resource management tasks. The right-click menus on Explore pane objects also let you perform UCS management tasks.
