Cisco UCS C-series servers running firmware version 6.0.2.260044 may experience Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) service becoming unresponsive when performing snmpget operations on private enterprise OIDs, subsequently causing snmpwalk requests to fail. If the service becomes unresponsive, it can be restored by rebooting the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) or by disabling and re-enabling the SNMP service.

This issue is resolved.

After an upstream Cisco ACI fabric upgrade or reload, Cisco UCS VIC adapters may fail to bring vNICs online. The adapter physical interfaces come up, but the vNICs remain stuck in an initializing state and do not recover automatically. Adapter logs may show the adapter encountering out-of-memory conditions, followed by a reset. This issue is observed with 10GBase-T (10G-T-X) transceivers on Cisco UCS VIC 1400 Series and 15000 Series adapters and may be triggered during switch or server reload events when the transceiver holds the I2C bus, leading to a memory leak in the adapter.

This issue is resolved.

After installing U3 Micron drives with capacities of 3.8TB or larger in JBOD mode behind the UCSX-X10C-RAIDF controller, Linux OS fails to boot due to BIOSerrors related to loading the EFI boot image. This issue occurs specifically on Cisco UCS X-Series M8 servers equipped with Intel® processors and affects multiple Linux distributions. The problem does not occur when the drives are configured in RAID 0. Microsoft Windows® and Linux OS boot successfully on smaller capacity drives or when using RAID 0.

On Cisco Unified Edge servers UCSXE-130C-M8, after upgrading from firmware version 6.0(1.250003) to 6.0(1.251026) in UEFI-Secure boot mode, BMC boot may fail to transfer FIT4 records to the Secondary Service Processor (SSP) due to timing and race conditions. This prevents the required authentication handshake, causing the host system's POST to hang.

You will see a BIOS POST completion failed error, and log messages such as:

• peci command(0xa1) failed: 0x63

• peci rdpkgconfig command (0xa1) failed (result code: 0x63, addr: 0x30)

• ast2600-ssp ahb:secondary-service-processor: Kicking SSP vqid = 1

On Cisco UCS XE130c servers, L4/L40S GPUs may experience a link downgrade to x8 width and GEN 1 speed due to a race condition. This can reduce GPU performance and typically occurs when the link is downgraded or lane width is reduced.

To recover from a link downgrade, a workaround has been implemented to return the device to normal operation.

Cisco UCS M7 servers are susceptible to host lockups triggered by ECC (Error Correcting Code) memory events.

This issue is specifically related to how the server’s BIOS interacts with the EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) during error conditions. During these events, the BIOS does not correctly retrieve a required variable, causing EFI to return an invalid parameter. As a result, the operating system is unable to continue normal operation and freezes without logging any errors. When this occurs, the host becomes unresponsive and KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) input is not accepted.

Single-bit ECC errors—while not logged due to DDR5 specifications—can trigger this condition, resulting in complete loss of host responsiveness.

On Cisco UCS C-Series M6 servers running CIMC 4.3.5 or later, enabling VMD in BIOS with multiple NVMe drives can cause storage subsystem initialization to exceed 15 minutes, leading to Intersight Server Profile deployment failures.

The likelihood of encountering this issue increases with the number of drives installed.

Disabling VMD or reducing the number of drives can resolve the issue.

On the Cisco UCS C245 M8 platform with AMD EPYC 9655 processors, fully loaded NVIDIA L4 GPUs experience random PCIe link width downgrades on different slots when running the Linux Rebooter Stress test. The affected slots change after actions such as an AC power cycle or HUU update; for example, if slots 2 and 6 are downgraded initially, other slots may be downgraded after these actions. This results in GPUs operating at reduced speeds in the OS environment.

On Cisco UCS C225 or C245 M8 servers in standalone mode, configuring secure LDAP (LDAPS) on any port other than 636 results in the server attempting a standard LDAP connection instead of a secure one, causing LDAPS authentication to fail.

Always use port 636 for secure LDAP connections. Other ports will not work for LDAPS.

On Cisco UCS X210c M8, some servers may not power on or start up if they contain a hardware part (inductor) from a specific vendor. This issue causes a startup failure, and the server will remain off even when you try to turn it on. The problem is caused by a difference in how the new hardware part works, but it can be fully resolved by updating the board to the latest VR (Voltage Regulator) image, which is designed to support this new component.

Update the server with the latest VR image, clear any power on error, and turn the server off and on again. If the server still does not start, contact Cisco TAC for further assistance.

On Cisco UCS X215c M8 servers, when an E3.S NVMe drive is added to an empty slot while the server is already running, the drive connects at Gen 4 speed instead of Gen 5. This issue only occurs if the slot was empty during boot and the drive is hot inserted after the operating system has started.

Insert the drive into the slot before powering on the server. Drives added later will only operate at Gen 4 speed until the server is rebooted.

On Cisco UCS C240 M6 servers running CIMC 4.3.5 and later firmware, deployments with a large number of NVMe drives and VMD enabled in the BIOS may experience prolonged storage subsystem initialization times, taking up to 50 minutes. This delay can cause the Wait for storage subsystem initialization task to fail in Intersight Server Profile workflows, especially after the Wait for BIOS POST Completion step.

If possible, turn off VMD in the BIOS to avoid the delay. If VMD must stay on, try using fewer NVMe drives during the initial setup, since the more drives you have, the longer the initialization takes.
