Cisco Integrated Management Controller—Viewing Storage Properties
This chapter provides information about monitoring and configuring your RAID controller in your Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) and Cisco UCS Server Configuration Utility (Cisco UCS SCU). The Cisco C-Series servers have built-in monitoring and configuration tools for storage, including RAID.
 Note |
The tools and software referred to in this chapter are used only in C-series rack-mounted servers that are not integrated with Cisco UCS Manager. |
CIMC is the management service for the C-Series servers and runs within the server.
You can use a web-based GUI or Secure Shell-based CLI to access, configure, administer, and monitor the server. Almost all tasks can be performed in either interface, and the results of tasks performed in one interface are displayed in another.
The configuration information for CIMC is located in the Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Servers Configuration Guide and the Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Servers CLI Configuration Guide. For details, see the guide that applies to the release that you are using.
A complete list of GUI and CLI configuration guides can be found here: Cisco UCS C-Series Configuration Guides.
