Cisco Intersight Managed Mode Server Firmware, Release 6.0

Cisco Intersight Managed Mode server firmware updates are released to provide updated versions of BIOS, CIMC, adapters, and other server components for supported Cisco UCS servers and Cisco Unified Edge servers managed through Intersight. To manage the server firmware, Cisco UCS server firmware, see Managing Firmware in Intersight Managed Mode and Upgrading Firmware for Unified Edge Compute Nodes. This feature is available with a Cisco Intersight Essentials or Advanced license tier.


Note

This document covers known issues and limitations related to these IMM servers only.

Supported servers managed through Intersight are:

  • Intersight Managed Mode (IMM) servers:

    These include:

    • Cisco UCS XE-Series Unified Edge servers connected to Intersight through Edge Chassis Management Controllers (eCMC).

    • Cisco UCS X-Series, B-Series, and C-Series servers connected to Intersight through Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnects (FI).

  • Intersight Standalone Mode servers:

    These include Cisco UCS C-Series and S-Series rack servers without Fabric Interconnect attachment, managed by Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC). For known issues and limitations related to ISM servers, see Cisco IMC Release Notes.

  • UCS Manager (UCSM) Managed Mode (UMM) servers:

    These include Cisco UCS B-Series, C-Series, X-Series, S-Series, and HX-Series servers, which are attached to Fabric Interconnects (FIs), and managed through UCS Manager.

    For known issues and limitations related to UMM servers, see Cisco UCS Manager Release Notes.

  • Cisco UCS C885A M8 Rack server:

    For known issues and limitations related to Cisco UCS C885A M8 Rack server, see Cisco Baseboard Management Controller Release Notes for Cisco UCS C885A M8 Rack Server.

  • Cisco UCS C845A M8 Rack server:

    For known issues and limitations related to Cisco UCS C845A M8 Rack server, see Cisco Baseboard Management Controller 2.0 Release Notes, Release 2.0.

Firmware upgrades in Intersight include both server and infrastructure firmware updates, which can be updated independently. That is, you do not always need to upgrade the Fabric Interconnects or Unified Edge Chassis Management Controller (eCMC) infrastructure firmware to use the latest server firmware and vice versa. For more information on compatibility between infrastructure firmware and server firmware, see Cross Version Firmware Support. For more information on infrastructure firmware updates, see Release Notes for Cisco Intersight Managed Mode Infrastructure Firmware and Release Notes for Cisco Intersight Unified Edge eCMC Infrastructure Firmware.
