Cisco UCS Manager and Cisco UCS C-Series Release Compatibility Matrix for C-Series Rack-Mount Servers

Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Servers are managed by built-in standalone software— Cisco Integrated Management Controller (Cisco IMC). However, when a C-Series Rack-Mount Server is integrated with Cisco UCS Manager, the Cisco IMC does not manage the server anymore.

Each Cisco UCS Manager release incorporates its corresponding C-Series Standalone release. For example, Cisco UCS Manager Release 4.2(1) is integrated with C-Series Standalone Release 4.2(1) for the M6 servers, Release 4.1(1) for the M4 and M5 servers, Release 4.0(2) for all the M4 and M5 servers. Hence, it supports all the M6, M5 and M4 servers supported by C-Series Standalone releases.

The following table lists the Cisco UCS Manager and C-Series software standalone releases for C-Series Rack-Mount Servers:

Upgrade and Downgrade Guidelines

To get a complete overview of all the possible upgrade paths in Cisco UCS Manager, see Cisco UCS Manager Upgrade/Downgrade Support Matrix.

Upgrade and Downgrade to Release 4.3(3)

You cannot downgrade any Cisco UCS C220 M7, C240 M7, and X210c server equipped with any 5th Gen Intel^® Xeon^® Scalable Processor listed in New Hardware in Release 4.3(3a) to any release earlier than 4.3(3a).
If you are planing to install any 15000 series Cisco UCS VIC, first supported in any 4.3 release, then ensure that you first upgrade the servers to the minimum supported release and then install the adapters in the server.

If you install the adapters into the server running an earlier release and then upgrade the servers to the supported release, the servers require A/C power cycle to recognize the adapters.

For example, to install Cisco UCS VIC 15427 adapter, first upgrade to release 4.3(2c) or later and then install the adapter in the server.
If you are managing Cisco UCS X-Series chassis or Cisco UCS M7 servers after upgrading to any 4.3(3) release, then you must decommission the X-Series chassis and M7 servers before downgrading to any unsupported release. Refer New Features in Release 4.3 for minimum supported version for Cisco UCS X-Series chassis and Cisco UCS M7 servers.
Cisco UCS M4 servers are not supported by 4.3(2) and later releases. You must decommission Cisco UCS M4 servers before upgrading to release 4.3(3).
Once you upgrade to 4.3(3) or any later release and enable Netflow feature from Cisco UCS Manager GUI, then you cannot downgrade to any release earlier than 4.3(2). To downgrade to any release earlier than 4.3(2), you must first disable Netflow feature from Cisco UCS Manager GUI.
Once you upgrade Cisco UCS 6400 or 64108 FI to 4.3(3) or any later release and enable Q-in-Q feature from Cisco UCS Manager GUI, then you cannot downgrade to any release earlier than 4.3(2). To downgrade to any release earlier than 4.3(2), you must first disable Q-in-Q feature from Cisco UCS Manager GUI.
Once you upgrade to release 4.3(3) or later and enable SMTP Authentication under Call Home in Cisco UCS Manager GUI, then you cannot downgrade to any release earlier than 4.3(2). To downgrade to any release earlier than 4.3(2), you must first disable SMTP Authentication from Cisco UCS Manager GUI.
If you have installed any Cisco UCS VIC with secure boot feature, then you cannot downgrade to any release earlier than 4.3(2).
If Fibre Channel ports on UCS Fabric Interconnect are connected to non-Cisco products, ensure that these are operating as individual Fibre Channel links and not aggregated into a port channel. Fibre Channel port channels are not compatible with non-Cisco technology.

Infrastructure Upgrade and Downgrade to Release 4.3(2)

If you are planing to install any 15000 series Cisco UCS VIC, first supported in 4.3(2) release, then ensure that you first upgrade the servers to the supported release and then install the adapters in the server.

If you install the adapters into the server running an earlier release and then upgrade the servers to the supported release, the servers require A/C power cycle to recognize the adapters.

For example, to install Cisco UCS VIC 15427 adapter, first upgrade to release 4.3(2c) or later and then install the adapter in the server.
If you are managing Cisco UCS X-Series chassis or Cisco UCS M7 servers after upgrading to release 4.3(2), then you must decommission the X-Series chassis and M7 servers before downgrading.
Cisco UCS M4 servers are not supported by 4.3(2) and later releases. You must decommission Cisco UCS M4 servers before upgrading to release 4.3(2)
Once you upgrade to release 4.3(2) or later and enable Netflow feature from Cisco UCS Manager GUI, then you cannot downgrade to any previous release. To downgrade to any release earlier than 4.3(2), you must first disable Netflow feature from Cisco UCS Manager GUI.
Once you upgrade Cisco UCS 6400 or 64108 FI to release 4.3(2) or later and enable Q-in-Q feature from Cisco UCS Manager GUI, then you cannot downgrade to any previous release. To downgrade to any release earlier than 4.3(2), you must first disable Q-in-Q feature from Cisco UCS Manager GUI.
Once you upgrade to release 4.3(2) or later and enable SMTP Authentication under Call Home in Cisco UCS Manager GUI, then you cannot downgrade to any previous release. To downgrade to any release earlier than 4.3(2), you must first disable SMTP Authentication from Cisco UCS Manager GUI.
If you have installed any Cisco UCS VIC with secure boot feature, then you cannot dowgrade to any previous release.
If Fibre Channel ports on UCS Fabric Interconnect are connected to non-Cisco products, ensure that these are operating as individual Fibre Channel links and not aggregated into a port channel. Fibre Channel port channels are not compatible with non-Cisco technology.

QSFP - 100G SR 1.2 support with Cisco UCS VIC 1400 and 15000 Series.
Cisco UCS Manager now supports soft check for IIS license.

Cisco UCS X-Series Servers and Cisco M7 Servers require a valid Cisco Intersight license and a connection to Intersight to remain compliant. If Cisco UCS Manager 4.3(2) detects Cisco UCS X-Series or any M7 hardware, it checks to ensure that the domain is claimed with a Cisco Intersight instance (SaaS, Connected Virtual Appliance, or Private Virtual Appliance). If the domain is not claimed within Cisco Intersight (where the Cisco Intersight licenses are managed), Cisco UCS Manager displays a major fault to notify you of this requirement so that you can take necessary steps to move to a compliant deployment.
Cisco UCS Manager also supports BMC Auto Upgrade functionality—If you migrate Cisco UCS X-Series Servers running Cisco IMC release lower than 4.3(2b) from IMM to Cisco UCS Manager managed mode, then Cisco UCS Manager auto upgrades Cisco IMC version to 4.3(2b).

GB Connector Modules, Transceiver Modules, and Cables

Following is the list of Gb connector modules, transceiver modules, and supported cables:

Note

Transceiver modules and cables that are supported on a specific Fabric Interconnect are not always supported on all VIC adapters, IOMs, or FEXes that are compatible with that Fabric Interconnect. Detailed compatibility matrices for the transceiver modules are available here:https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/interfaces-modules/transceiver-modules/products-device-support-tables-list.html
S-Class transceivers, for example, QSFP-40G-SR4-S, do not support FCoE.

Capability Catalog

The Cisco UCS Manager Capability Catalog is a set of tunable parameters, strings, and rules. Cisco UCS uses the catalog to update the display and configurability of components such as newly qualified DIMMs and disk drives for servers.

The Capability Catalog is embedded in Cisco UCS Manager, but at times it is also released as a single image file to make updates easier.

The following table lists the PIDs added in this release and maps UCS software releases to the corresponding Capability Catalog file.

Cisco UCS Manager includes Third-party Software that is affected by the vulnerabilities identified by the following Common Vulnerability and Exposures (CVE) IDs:

CVE-2023-38408—The PKCS#11 feature in ssh-agent in OpenSSH before 9.3p2 has an insufficiently trustworthy search path, leading to remote code execution if an agent is forwarded to an attacker-controlled system. (Code in /usr/lib is not necessarily safe for loading into ssh-agent.)

The affected third-party software component has been upgraded to a version that includes fixes for the vulnerability. Future versions of the product(s) will not be affected by this vulnerability.

CSCwi20282

This product includes Third-party Software that is affected by the vulnerabilities identified by the following Common Vulnerability and Exposures (CVE) IDs:

CVE-2007-2768—OpenSSH, when using OPIE (One-Time Passwords in Everything) for PAM, allows remote attackers to determine the existence of certain user accounts, which displays a different response if the user account exists and is configured to use one-time passwords (OTP), a similar issue to CVE-2007-2243.
CVE-2008-3844—Certain Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4 and 5 packages for OpenSSH, as signed in August 2008 using a legitimate Red Hat GPG key, contain an externally introduced modification (Trojan Horse) that allows the package authors to have an unknown impact.
CVE-2016-20012—OpenSSH through 8.7 allows remote attackers, who have a suspicion that a certain combination of username and public key is known to an SSH server, to test whether this suspicion is correct. This occurs because a challenge is sent only when that combination could be valid for a login session.
CVE-2018-15473—OpenSSH through 7.7 is prone to a user enumeration vulnerability due to not delaying bailout for an invalid authenticating user until after the packet containing the request has been fully parsed, related to auth2-gss.c, auth2-hostbased.c, and auth2-pubkey.c.
CVE-2018-15919—Remotely observable behavior in auth-gss2.c in OpenSSH through 7.8 could be used by remote attackers to detect existence of users on a target system when GSS2 is in use.
CVE-2018-20685—In OpenSSH 7.9, scp.c in the scp client allows remote SSH servers to bypass intended access restrictions via the filename of . or an empty filename. The impact is modifying the permissions of the target directory on the client side.
CVE-2019-6109—An issue was discovered in OpenSSH 7.9. Due to missing character encoding in the progress display, a malicious server (or Man-in-The-Middle attacker) can employ crafted object names to manipulate the client output, for example, by using ANSI control codes to hide additional files being transferred. This affects refresh_progress_meter() in progressmeter.c.
CVE-2019-6110—In OpenSSH 7.9, due to accepting and displaying arbitrary stderr output from the server, a malicious server (or Man-in-The-Middle attacker) can manipulate the client output, for example, to use ANSI control codes to hide additional files being transferred.
CVE-2019-6111—An issue was discovered in OpenSSH 7.9. Due to the scp implementation being derived from 1983 rcp, the server chooses which files/directories are sent to the client. However, the scp client only performs cursory validation of the object name returned (only directory traversal attacks are prevented). A malicious scp server (or Man-in-The-Middle attacker) can overwrite arbitrary files in the scp client target directory. If recursive operation (-r) is performed, the server can manipulate subdirectories as well (for example, to overwrite the .ssh/authorized_keys file).
CVE-2020-14145—The client side in OpenSSH 5.7 through 8.4 has an Observable Discrepancy leading to an information leak in the algorithm negotiation. This allows man-in-the-middle attackers to target initial connection attempts (where no host key for the server has been cached by the client).
CVE-2020-15778—scp in OpenSSH through 8.3p1 allows command injection in the scp.c toremote function, as demonstrated by backtick characters in the destination argument.
CVE-2021-28041—ssh-agent in OpenSSH before 8.5 has a double free that may be relevant in a few less-common scenarios, such as unconstrained agent-socket access on a legacy operating system, or the forwarding of an agent to an attacker-controlled host.
CVE-2021-36368—An issue was discovered in OpenSSH before 8.9. If a client is using public-key authentication with agent forwarding but without -oLogLevel=verbose, and an attacker has silently modified the server to support the None authentication option, then the user cannot determine whether FIDO authentication is going to confirm that the user wishes to connect to that server, or that the user wishes to allow that server to connect to a different server on the user's behalf.
CVE-2021-41617—sshd in OpenSSH 6.2 through 8.x before 8.8, when certain non-default configurations are used, allows privilege escalation because supplemental groups are not initialized as expected. Helper programs for AuthorizedKeysCommand and AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand may run with privileges associated with group memberships of the sshd process, if the configuration specifies running the command as a different user.
CVE-2023-38408—The PKCS#11 feature in ssh-agent in OpenSSH before 9.3p2 has an insufficiently trustworthy search path, leading to remote code execution if an agent is forwarded to an attacker-controlled system. (Code in /usr/lib is not necessarily safe for loading into ssh-agent.)

The affected third-party software component has been upgraded to a version that includes fixes for the vulnerability. Future versions of the product(s) will not be affected by this vulnerability.

CSCwh46667

Cisco UCS Manager includes Third-party Software that is affected by the vulnerabilities identified by the following Common Vulnerability and Exposures (CVE) IDs:

CVE-2022-0778—The BN_mod_sqrt() function, which computes a modular square root, contains a bug that can cause it to loop forever for non-prime moduli. This function is used when parsing certificates that contain elliptic curve public keys in compressed form or explicit elliptic curve parameters with a base point encoded in compressed form.

It is possible to trigger the infinite loop by crafting a certificate that has invalid explicit curve parameters. Certificate parsing happens prior to verification of the certificate signature, and hence, any process that parses an externally supplied certificate may thus be subject to a denial of service attack.

The infinite loop can also be reached when parsing crafted private keys as they can contain explicit elliptic curve parameters. Vulnerable situations include:
- TLS clients consuming server certificates
- TLS servers consuming client certificates
- Hosting providers taking certificates or private keys from customers
- Certificate authorities parsing certification requests from subscribers
- Anything else which parses ASN.1 elliptic curve parameters
- Also any other applications that use the BN_mod_sqrt() where the attacker can control the parameter values are vulnerable to this DoS issue
In the OpenSSL 1.0.2 version the public key is not parsed during initial parsing of the certificate which makes it slightly harder to trigger the infinite loop. However, any operation which requires the public key from the certificate triggers the infinite loop. In particular the attacker can use a self-signed certificate to trigger the loop during verification of the certificate signature. This issue affects OpenSSL versions 1.0.2, 1.1.1 and 3.0. It was addressed in the releases of 1.1.1n and 3.0.2 on the 15th March 2022. Fixed in OpenSSL 3.0.2 (Affected 3.0.0,3.0.1). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1n (Affected 1.1.1-1.1.1m). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2zd (Affected 1.0.2-1.0.2zc).

The affected third-party software component is upgraded to a version that includes fixes for the vulnerability. Future versions of the product(s) will not be affected by this vulnerability.

Cisco UCS Manager feature if affected by the following Common Vulnerability and Exposures (CVE) ID:

CVE-2023-20016—A vulnerability in the backup configuration feature of Cisco UCS Manager and in the configuration export feature of Cisco FXOS Software could allow an unauthenticated attacker with access to a backup file to decrypt sensitive information stored in the full state and configuration backup files.
This vulnerability is due to a weakness in the encryption method used for the backup function. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by leveraging a static key used for the backup configuration feature. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to decrypt sensitive information that is stored in full state and configuration backup files, such as local user credentials, authentication server passwords, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) community names, and other credentials.

Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

CSCvh60768	In a setup running ESXi OS, when vNICs are removed in Service Profile while CDN ( Consistent Device Naming) is enabled, the vNICs are re-orederd from the vNIC, which was removed.	Manually assign vmNIC number in /etc/vmware/esx.conf file and reboot.	3.2(2)B
CSCwd82136	In a setup equipped with Cisco UCS 6400 series FI connected to Cisco UCS C-Series servers using Cisco VIC 1457/1455/1467, ports on the FI may go to error-disabled state with errDisabledExcessportIn reason after a link flap.	Flap the FI port connected to the Cisco UCS C-Series servers.	4.2(3b)A
CSCvp38564	NMPTU in AD mode hangs or goes into infinite loop when DCPMM in AppDirect mode.	If DCPMM is detected in system, BIOS does not load NMPTU to prevent hang/infinite loop.	4.0(3)
CSCvp37389	DCPMM clock stop may cause DCPMM media to go into disable state.	There is no known workaround.	4.0(3)
CSCva74263	Cisco UCS 6324 In a setup equipped with Cisco UCS 6324 FI (Cisco UCS Mini FI), QoS buffers get full and do not drain out. As a result, all packets get dropped on the FI and there are no Tx on the uplink ports.	Reboot the FI to clear this cnodition.	3.1(1e)
CSCvh17760	IOM reboots without core.	There is no known workaround.	3.(1g)
