The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Monitoring Management Interfaces
This policy defines how the mgmt0 Ethernet interface on the fabric interconnect should be monitored. If Cisco UCS detects a management interface failure, a failure report is generated. If the configured number of failure reports is reached, the system assumes that the management interface is unavailable and generates a fault. By default, the management interfaces monitoring policy is enabled.
If the affected management interface belongs to a fabric interconnect which is the managing instance, Cisco UCS confirms that the subordinate fabric interconnect's status is up, that there are no current failure reports logged against it, and then modifies the managing instance for the endpoints.
If the affected fabric interconnect is currently the primary inside of a high availability setup, a failover of the management plane is triggered. The data plane is not affected by this failover.
You can set the following properties related to monitoring the management interface:
Type of mechanism used to monitor the management interface.
Interval at which the management interface's status is monitored.
Maximum number of monitoring attempts that can fail before the system assumes that the management is unavailable and generates a fault message.

If you are using IPv6 addresses, complete the following fields in the IPv6 subtab:
Type 0.0.0.0 for an IPv4 address to remove the ARP target or :: for an IPv6 address to remove the N-disc target. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Local storage monitoring in Cisco UCS provides status information on local storage that is physically attached to a chassis. This includes RAID controllers, physical drives and drive groups, virtual drives, and RAID controller batteries (BBU).
Cisco UCS Manager communicates directly with the storage controllers using an out-of-band (OOB) interface, which enables real-time updates. Some of the information that is displayed includes:
RAID controller status and rebuild rate.
The drive state, power state, link speed, operability and firmware version of physical drives.
The drive state, operability, strip size, access policies, drive cache, and health of virtual drives.
The operability of a BBU, whether it is a supercap or battery.
Information on RAID health and RAID state, card health, and operability.
Information on operations that are running on the storage component, such as rebuild, initialization, and relearning.
Note | After a CMC reboot or build upgrades, the status, start time, and end times of operations running on the storage component might not be displayed correctly. |
Detailed fault information for all local storage components.
Through Cisco UCS Manager, you can monitor local storage components for the Cisco UCSME-142-M4 server:
