About Intersight Managed Mode

About Intersight Managed Mode

Cisco Intersight™ is a management platform delivered as a service with embedded analytics for your Cisco and 3rd party IT infrastructure. Intersight Managed Mode (IMM) is a new architecture that manages the UCS Fabric Interconnected systems through a Redfish-based standard model. Intersight Managed Mode unifies the capabilities of the UCS Systems and the cloud-based flexibility of Intersight, thus unifying the management experience for the standalone and Fabric Interconnect attached systems. Intersight Management Model standardizes policy and operation management for UCS-FI-6454, UCS-FI-64108, UCS-FI-6536, UCSX-S9108-100G Fabric Interconnects and Cisco UCS B-Series (M5, M6), Cisco UCS C-Series (M5, M6, M7, M8), and Cisco UCS X-Series (M6, M7, M8) servers.

You can choose between the native UCSM Managed Mode (UMM) or Intersight Managed Mode (IMM) for the Fabric attached UCS Systems during initial setup of the Fabric Interconnects. If you choose to switch back between UMM and IMM, you must erase the present configuration and start from initial setup.


Note

Before erasing the configuration, you must ensure to unclaim the device from Intersight and decommission all rack servers.

  • Before you set up Intersight Managed Mode, please review the system requirements, supported hardware and software, and the steps required to migrate from UMM to IMM.

  • For latest updates on Intersight features and functionality, see Help Center.

  • Servers in IMM mode require a minimum of Essentials license.

Supported Hardware

This section includes the supported hardware for Intersight Managed Mode.

Table 1 lists the hardware components and the minimum required infrastructure firmware version.

Table 2 lists the supported server models.

Table 3 includes the supported hardware components for servers along with the supported server firmware and infrastructure firmware versions.

Table 4 shows the supported combination of components.

Platform Release: At the initial release, the firmware supports all available components. For subsequent hardware updates, higher firmware versions may be required.

Documentation Resources:

  • Refer to the Spec Sheet for supported hardware and configuration rules.

  • Check the Firmware Release Notes for new hardware compatibility with specific firmware versions.

Note

  • The Intersight Managed Mode (IMM) supports up to 20 chassis and 160 servers.

  • Cisco UCS 6454 and 64108 Fabric Interconnects, require the port-based licensing in IMM but will not be enforced until further notice.

    Beginning with UCS software release version 4.2(3), Cisco UCS 6536 and UCS X-Direct Fabric Interconnects support a perpetual software license, activating all ports and features.

  • Swapping or moving cable connections on rack network adapters, whether between VIC ports on the same Fabric Interconnect or between different Fabric Interconnects, is not supported while the server is powered on after server discovery. Such actions are only permitted when the server is powered off through a soft shutdown.

  • The minimum supported Infrastructure firmware version for Intersight Managed Mode is 4.1(3).

The following table lists the server models supported in Intersight Managed Mode across different generations. For more information on specific components of the servers, see (Table 3).

Note

Change in Firmware Version Schema :

  • X-Series M6 Server Firmware Bundle: Post server firmware release 5.0(4g), the version number is in a number format instead of a letter format.

  • C-Series M5 and M6 Server Firmware Bundle: Post server firmware release 4.2(3m), the version number is in a number format instead of a letter format.

  • B-Series M5 and M6 Server Firmware Bundle: Post server firmware release 4.2(3j), the version number is in the 5.x series and in a number format instead of a letter format.

  • Infrastructure Firmware Bundle: With infra firmware release 4.3(2) and later, the version number is in a number format instead of a letter format.

For example: 4.3(2.230117) , where 23 represents year, 0117 shows the incremental build number.​

For more information on Cisco Intersight Infrastructure Firmware release notes, Server Firmware release notes, and Release Bundle Content document see Release Notes.

Table 4. Supported Combination of Hardware Components in IMM

Component

Supported Combination

Cisco UCS X-Series Direct

Integrated FI: UCSX-S9108-100G

Cisco UCS X-Series Direct supports all components that are compatible with Cisco UCS X-Series modular system.

It currently does not support Fabric Extender, Rack servers, or adding additional chassis in Intersight Managed Mode.

Topologies

Direct-Attached Racks through 10G/25G/100G connections

Break-out port configuration through 10G/25G connections

FEX-Attached Racks through 10GE connections

Chassis through 10G/25G/100G connections

N9K-C93108YC-FX3 FEX through 10G/25G connections

Fabric Interconnects

UCS-FI-6536 and direct-attached rack server are supported at 40G and 100G on Cisco UCS 1400 and 15000 series VIC adapters.

Input/Output Module (IOM)

  • UCS-IOM-2204XP and UCS-IOM-2208XP are not supported on Cisco UCS 6500 Series Fabric Interconnects.

  • UCS-IOM-2304 and UCS-IOM-2304V2 are supported only with Cisco UCS 6500 series Fabric Interconnect.

  • When there is a mixed IOM configuration, Access Policy deployment can fail resulting in Server Profile deployment failure. It will recover once both the IOMs are replaced.

X-Fabric Modules (XFM)

UCS 9416 X-Fabric module is supported only on UCSX-9508 chassis and required for Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) node and GPU discovery or inventory support in IMM.

Fabric Extender (FEX)

Cisco Nexus 2232PP is not supported on Cisco UCS 6500 Series Fabric Interconnects.

Rear Mezzanine Adapters

  • UCS PCI mezz card for X‐Fabric connectivity.

  • The UCSX-210C Compute Node must include a UCSX-V4-PCIME or a supported mezz card when paired with a X440p PCIe node.

Adapters

  • UCSX-X10C-GPUFM is an adapter that supports the GPU, UCSX-GPU-T4-MEZZ. For more information, see Cisco UCS X10c Front Mezzanine GPU Module Installation and Service Guide.

  • UCSX-V4-Q25GME is a mezz card requires UCS VIC 14000 bridge connector (UCSX-V4-BRIDGE) and UCSX-V4-Q25GML mLOM support in the X210c Compute Node. For more information, see Cisco UCS X210c M6 Compute Node.

  • The UCSX-210C Compute Node must include a UCSX-V4-PCIME or a supported mezz card when paired with a X440p PCIe node.

  • UCSX-ML-V5D200G adapter is supported on Cisco UCS 6500 series Fabric Interconnect at 40G and 100G speed, as well as on Cisco UCS 6400 series Fabric Interconnect at 25G speed.

  • Cisco UCS C-Series and X-Series M7 servers support only Cisco UCS 15000 series VIC adapters.

  • UCSX-ME-V5Q50G is a mezz card that requires UCS VIC 15000 bridge connector (UCSX-V5-BRIDGE) and UCSX-ML-V5Q50G mLOM support in the X210c Compute Node. However, this mezz adapter is not supported with UCSX-ML-V5D200G mLOM.

    • On a B-series server, installing a combination of Cisco UCS 1400 and UCS 15000 series VIC adapters is not supported.

    • Cisco UCS VIC 1300 Series adapters are supported on B-Series and C-Series M5 servers with the following combination.

      • UCS-FI-6454 and UCS-IOM-2408

      • UCS-FI-6536 and UCS-IOM-2408

      • UCS-FI-6454 and UCS-IOM-2204XP

      • UCS-FI-6454 and UCS-IOM-2208XP

      • UCS-FI-6536 and direct-attached rack server at 40G

      • UCS-FI-6454 and rack server connected through FEX

      • UCS-FI-6454 and direct-attached rack server with 10G QSA

      • UCS-FI-6536 and UCS-IOM-2304 or UCS-IOM-2304V2

      • UCS-FI-64108 and UCS-IOM-2408

      • UCS-FI-64108 and UCS-IOM-2204XP

      • UCS-FI-64108 and UCS-IOM-2208XP

      • UCS-FI-64108 and direct-attached rack server

      • UCS-FI-64108 and rack server connected through FEX

    • UCSC-M-V100-04, UCSC-PCIE-C100-04, UCSC-MLOM-C100-04 are supported only on Cisco UCS 6500 Series Fabric Interconnects.

  • The following combinations are not supported on UCS C series M6 servers:

    • 1400 Series MLOM adapters with 15000 Series PCIE adapters

    • UCSC-M-V5Q50GV2 and UCSC-M-V5D200GV2 are not supported with 14xx PCIE adapters

  • Ensure that you have upgraded servers to the VIC supported release versions before installing the VIC adapters into the server. If you install VIC adapters on servers running an earlier release and later decide to upgrade the servers to the supported version, you need to perform A/C power cycle for the servers to enable the adapters.
