Use this configuration quick reference chapter if you just need a list of commands and steps to quickly set up and use the Cisco UCS E-Series Server (E-Series Server). Detailed information about each of the configuration steps is provided in subsequent chapters.

Note

Use this configuration quick reference chapter if you purchased Option 1 (E-Series Server without preinstalled operating system or hypervisor). Some of the configuration steps are different if you purchased Option 2 (E-Series Server with preinstalled Microsoft Windows Server), or Option 3 (E-Series Server with preinstalled VMware vSphere Hypervisor™).

This chapter includes the following sections:

Step 1	Install the E-Series Server into the router.
Step 2	Configure CIMC IP address for CIMC access. Use one of the following methods: If you are a remote user, use the Cisco IOS CLI to configure CIMC access. Enter the following commands: Note    This configuration shows you how to configure CIMC access using the E-Series Server’s Console interface (shared LOM). For details, see Configuring CIMC Access Using the Router's Internal PCIe Slot/0 Console Interface. Note    To use another interface, see Configuring CIMC Access. enable configure terminal interface ucse slot/port imc ip address cimc-ip-address subnet mask default-gateway cimc-gateway-ip-address imc access-port shared-lom console no shut end If you are a local user, use one of the following methods: Connect a keyboard and monitor to the front panel for the E-Series Server, and then use the CIMC Configuration Utility to configure CIMC access. See Configuring CIMC Access Using the CIMC Configuration Utility. Use the Cisco IOS CLI to configure CIMC access (see the configuration for remote user above).
Step 3	In your web browser, enter the IP address that you configured in Step 2 to access CIMC.
Step 4	Configure RAID and make the disk drive bootable. See Managing RAID.
Step 5	Install the operating system or Hypervisor and if needed, install drivers. See Installing the Operating System.
Step 6	Do one of the following: If you do not want the traffic to your application or operating system to flow through the router, use the server’s host operating system to configure the E-Series Server’s external GE2 or GE3 interface. If you want the traffic to your application or operating system to flow through the router, use the Cisco IOS CLI to configure an internal connection between the router and the E-Series Server. See Configuring Connection Between the Router and the E-Series Server.
