Support for Web UI Interface on Cisco UCS M3 Rack Server Software Post Flash Deprecation
The Cisco Cloud and Compute organization at Cisco expects that the Web UI interface of UCS M3 Standalone Rack Server Software – Cisco IMC – will not be accessible on future versions of web browsers that are going to deprecate support for Flash Player based content.
Cisco started shipping UCS C-Series and S-Series M3 Servers in 2012 and announced in 2015 and 2016 the EOL of all M3 rack server models, before Adobe announced the EOL of Flash Player support in July 2017. While we will continue to provide applicable service and support such as critical security fixes via patch releases for M3 servers through the End of Support date in December 2021, we do not plan to retrofit UCS C-Series and S-Series M3 platforms with HTML5-based Web UI interface for Cisco IMC.
Impacted customers can consider below alternatives for managing their M3 Rack Servers:
-
Use CLI interface of IMC Software to control and configure the standalone M3 rack platforms
-
Use a web browser that will not be deprecating support for Flash
-
Keep web browser on the last version that supports Flash and disable update to future version in order to continue using Web UI to manage M3 rack servers
-
Attach the M3 rack servers to Fabric Interconnects in order to use HTML5-based Web UI interface of a corresponding UCS Manager release
-
Access vKVM through the XML API in case Web UI is not available

Product ID Catalog
The Cisco UCS C-Series servers Product ID (PID) Catalog is a set of tunable parameters, strings, and rules. Cisco UCS uses the catalog to update the display and configurability of components such as newly qualified DIMMs and disk drives for servers.
The PID Catalog is embedded in IMC firmware, but at times it is also released as a single image file to make updates easier.

Utilities |
Note |
Always upgrade the BIOS, the Cisco IMC and CMC from the HUU ISO. Do not upgrade individual components (only BIOS or only Cisco IMC or CMC), since this could lead to unexpected behavior. If you choose to upgrade BIOS, the Cisco IMC and the CMC individually and not from the HUU ISO, make sure to upgrade both Cisco IMC, BIOS and CMC to the same container release. If the BIOS, CMC and the Cisco IMC versions are from different container releases, it could result in unexpected behavior. Cisco recommends that you use the Update All option from the Host Upgrade Utility to update the firmware versions of Cisco IMC, BIOS, CMC and all other server components (VIC, RAID Controllers, PCI devices, and LOM) together. |
Host Upgrade Utility
The Cisco Host Upgrade Utility (HUU) is a tool that upgrades the Cisco UCS C-Series firmware.
The image file for the firmware is embedded in the ISO. The utility displays a menu that allows you to choose which firmware components to upgrade. For more information on this utility see:

Supported Features
Supported Software Features
The following new software features are supported in Release 2.0(13e):
-
LDAP CA Certificate— Support for LDAP client to validate a directory server certificate against an installed CA certificate or chained CA certificate during an LDAP binding step. This feature is introduced in the event where anyone can duplicate a directory server for user authentication and cause a security breach due to the inability to enter a trusted point or chained certificate into the Cisco IMC for remote user authentication.
-
Product ID Catalog— Support for PID catalog to be updated independently, without having to update the Cisco IMC or container. You can download a signed PID update package using FTP, TFTP, SFTP, HTTP, and SCP. The product ID catalog is available on Cisco.com.
-
OOB Management of SAS HBA Pass Through Controllers—Cisco IMC allows Out Of Band management of UCSC-SAS12GHBA, UCSC-PSAS12GHBA SAS HBA controllers on C240 M4 and C220 M4 platforms. UCSC-3X60-HBA controllers supported in UCS C3X60M3 also support the OOB management.
-
OOB Management of NVMe Based PCIe SSD— Cisco IMC manages various HGST, Intel NVMe based HHHL and 2.5” SSDs.
-
Setting a Virtual Drive as Transport Ready— Support for setting a virtual drive as Transport Ready, which means you can set a virtual drive in a state where it can be moved from one MegaRAID controller to another. This allows all the pending IOs of the virtual drive to complete their activities, hide the virtual drive from the operating system, flush cache, pause all the background operations, and save the current progress in disk data format, allowing you to move the drive.
-
Power Management — Effective with this release, this feature is available on the C3260 M4 servers. It supports power characterization of the chassis based on hardware configuration and allows you to configure power profiles using the power capping feature. You can use the power characterization range appropriately for the different power profiles.
The power profiles available on the C3260 M4 servers are automatic, custom, and thermal which can be configured to allocate power budget accordingly.
-
Selective Power Characterization— Support for running power characterization only on the CPU and DIMM configuration changes. This feature is available only on the C220 M4, C240 M4 and C3260 M4 servers.
-
Power Save Mode— This allows you to put a hard drive on a power save mode when not in use or is in unassigned state. This feature is available on UCS C3X60 M3 and M4 servers.
-
Secure Adapter Update— Support to enable or disable this option to ensure only the secure firmware is updated. This feature is available only on the C220 M4, C240 M4, and C460 M4 servers.
-
SAS Expander Firmware Update— Support to install and activate SAS expander firmware. Effective with this release this feature was available on C220 M4, and C240 M4 servers.
-
SNMP Engine ID Configuration— Added support for configuring user defined engine ID values. The SNMP engine ID is a unique string used to identify the device for administration purposes.
-
IO Expander BIOS Tokens— Added new BIOS tokens for IO expander configuration. This feature is available only on the C3260 M4 servers.
-
Smart Access: Serial—The Smart Access: Serial allows offline configuration of C-series servers using the command line interface (CLI) through serial connection. With this setup, you are not required to connect the Cisco IMC to the network in order to access the command line interface.
-
Consistent Device Naming (RHEL) — Allows ethernet interfaces to be named consistently in order to effectively manage network connections with server configuration changes.
-
Self Encrypting Drives (SED)— Cisco IMC supports self encrypting drives (SED). A special hardware in the drives encrypts incoming data and decrypts outgoing data in real-time. This feature is also called Full Disk Encryption (FDE).The data on the drive is encrypted on its way into the drive and decrypted on its way out. However, if you lock the drive, no security key is required to retrieve the data. Effective with this release this feature was available on C240 M4 servers.
-
NVMe Boot— Boot support for NVMe drives when enabled from BIOS for the C220 M4 and C240 M4 servers. This is available only in the standalone mode.
Important |
In order to enhance security, effective with the next major release, support for Transport Layer Security (TLS) versions 1.0 and 1.1 will be removed. Only TLS 1.2 will be supported. |

Occasionally after a CIMC upgrade, one may see an error dialog box "Error: Unexpected error" in Web UI on main page upon the very first login. The Storage data may also be blank or invalid. Sometimes occurs during the very first login after a CIMC upgrade. It may be related to upgrade from 1.4x to 1.5. |
Logging out and back in will fix it, but probably just because it takes time; therefore, just waiting a few minutes and refreshing the WebUI may fix the problem, also. |

The battery is in a degraded state because it requires a manual (user initiated) relearn cycle.This is required of batteries that have been in use for over 1 year to accurately measure the battery's remaining capacity. |
A manual (deep cycle) relearn must be started by the user. This can be done via the MegaCLI utility or from the Storage tab of the server CIMC. A relearn can take several hours and up to a day to complete. It the battery still has sufficient capacity after the relearn is complete, it will go to optimal state and the VDs will switch back to WriteBack mode if that is how they configured prior to the relearn. |

Upgrading BIOS and Cisco IMC Firmware
Cisco provides the Cisco Host Upgrade Utility to assist you in upgrading the BIOS, Cisco IMC, CMC LOM, LSI storage controller, and Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Cards firmware to compatible levels. On the C220 M3, C240 M3, C22 M3, and C24 M3 servers, we recommend that you reboot Cisco IMC before performing the Cisco IMC and BIOS firmware update using NIHUU, HUU, web UI, CLI, or XML API.
Note |
When upgrading the Cisco IMC firmware for the UCS C-series platforms, ensure that you update using the full image (for example upd-pkg-cXXX-mx-Cisco IMC.full.*.bin). |
The correct and compatible firmware levels for your server model are embedded in the utility ISO.
To use this utility, use the Cisco Host Upgrade Utility User Guide which includes the instructions for downloading and using the utility ISO. Select the guide from this URL:
