Supported Features for Conversion
A. Supported Features for Conversion from UCS to IMM
This section provides a list of features that are supported for conversion in the IMM Transition Tool and a policy mapping between Cisco UCS Manager/Central and Intersight.
Note |
If the UCS Central configuration contains VLAN/VSAN aliasing, the IMM Transition Tool will automatically select one of the aliases when performing the conversion of the vNICs/vHBAs. Please review the resulting configuration carefully to make sure it is appropriate. |

*1 - Merged with regular VLANs
*2 - Merged with regular Network Control Policies
*3 - Sessions/HTTP settings are defined in Intersight Settings. Telnet/SSH settings are not supported
*4 - Only supports up to two remote destination servers
*5 - In UCS Manager, it is found under Admin > Communication Management > DNS Management
*6 - Replaced by Storage Policy. Local Disk Configuration policy supports only Manual creation not the Automatic policy option.
*7 - Only Updating Templates - no support for Initial Templates (though cloning can be achieved)
*8 - The placement is statically mapped to PCIe slots, with the following mapping:
-
vCon 1: Slot MLOM
-
vCon 2: Slot PCIe1
-
vCon 3: Slot PCIe2
-
vCon 4: Slot PCIe3
This mapping is static, but can be adjusted in the Transition Settings. For more details, see B. Transition Settings for Conversion section in Default Settings.
*9 - Supported in IMM Transition Tool, Release 1.0.2 and later.
*10 - Supported in IMM Transition Tool, Release 3.0.1 and later.
Note |
Table containing aliases for aliased VLANs/VSANs are not supported for conversion. |
*11 - Supported in IMM Transition Tool, Release 4.0.1 and later.
*12 - Part of LAN Connectivity policy
*13 - IMM Transition Tool, Release 4.1.2 supports VIC QinQ Tunneling
B. Fabric Interconnect (FI) Mapping for Conversion
When a Port policy is converted from UCSM to IMM, the port configuration of that policy is adjusted by mapping the unsupported FI (Cisco UCS 6200 and 6300 Series) as shown below:
UCSM FI | Equivalent IMM FI |
---|---|
Cisco UCS-FI-6248UP | Cisco UCS-FI-6454 |
Cisco UCS-FI-6296UP | Cisco UCS-FI-6454 |
Cisco UCS-FI-6296 | Cisco UCS-FI-64108 |
UCS-FI-M-6324 | Cisco UCS-FI-6454 |
Cisco UCS-FI-6332 | Cisco UCS-FI-6536 |
Cisco UCS-FI-6332-16UP | Cisco UCS-FI-6536 |
Cisco UCS-FI-6454 | Cisco UCS-FI-6454 |
Cisco UCS-FI-64108 | Cisco UCS-FI-64108 |
Cisco UCS-FI-6536 | Cisco UCS-FI-6536 |
