Supported Features for Conversion

A. Supported Features for Conversion from UCS Manager/Central 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.

LDAP Authentication Domain

Note: Supported in IMM Transition Tool, Release 5.1.1 and later.

Intersight LDAP Policy and/or Intersight Appliance Authentication Domain

Note

 

  • If the destination Intersight device is SaaS, the system creates and attaches an LDAP policy to the Domain Profile. For an Appliance device, it creates both the Intersight LDAP policy and the Intersight Appliance Authentication Domain from UCSM LDAP to enable LDAP/AD login on the appliance depending on the default settings during the conversion.

  • When converting from UCS Central, tool enables the conversion of LDAP/AD Authentication from UCS Central (UCSC) to the target Intersight appliance device.

Port Policy

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:

Note

  • Any existing Unified Port and SAN Port configuration will be ignored when converting from a Cisco UCS 6200 Series or Cisco UCS 6300 Series FI to IMM, because the Unified Ports hardware characteristics are different.

  • For the migration of Cisco UCS-FI-6332-16UP to Cisco UCS 6536, all SFP+ Ports configuration is ignored, and all QSFP+ Ports configuration is shifted to the left by 16 ports (port 1/17 on Cisco UCS-FI-6332-16UP becomes port 1/1 on Cisco UCS-FI-6536).

This section provides the list of UCS Server, Chassis, and Domain Policies and the list of Profiles, Pools, Resources, Settings, and Templates supported for cloning an Intersight account.


Note

  • Cloning of an Intersight account is supported only for configurations in standalone mode and in Intersight Managed Mode.
