What's New

New Hardware Features

New Software Features

New Hardware in Release 6.0(1b)

  • Cisco UCS 6664 Fabric Interconnect—The Cisco UCS 6664 Fabric Interconnect is a 2-rack unit (RU), fixed-port system designed for Top-of-Rack deployment in data centers. The fabric interconnect has both Ethernet and unified ports. Unified ports provide Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), Fibre Channel, NVMe over Fabric, and Ethernet. By supporting these different protocols, you can use a single multi-protocol Virtual Interface Card (VIC) in your servers.

    The Cisco UCS 6664 Fabric Interconnect supports an array of Gigabit Ethernet (GbE), Fibre Channel (FC), and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) ports to offer connectivity to peer data center devices. This device is also ideal for high-performance, scalable, and secure networking in modern data centers.

  • Support for UCSX-X10C-PTE3 Pass Controller on Cisco UCS X215c M8 Compute Node.

  • Support for 30TB 2.5 inch pTLC Micron 6550 NVMe drive on Cisco UCS C225 M8 servers

  • Cisco UCS Manager introduces dual support for the Cisco Tri-Mode M1 24G RAID (UCSC-RAID-M1L16) controllers on Cisco UCS C240 M8 Servers, enabling independent configuration and management of two controllers within the same server environment.

New Software Feature in Release 6.0(1b)

Support for the following software features:

  • Fabric Interconnect Audit Log support using the Linux Audit Framework (auditd), providing comprehensive monitoring and tracking of user and system activities on Cisco UCS 6600, 6500, and 6400 Series Fabric Interconnects. This feature enables enhanced security and compliance by recording activities into Fabric Interconnect Audit Log files.

  • Cisco UCS X-Series Direct (Fabric Interconnect 9108 100G) now supports Cisco UCS C-Series rack servers, enabling unified management of both UCS X-Series compute nodes and C-Series servers in one domain. It also adds secondary chassis support, allowing deployment of a second UCS X9508 chassis and up to 20 servers in a single X-Direct domain. These enhancements improve scalability and simplify data center hardware management.

  • iSCSI boot support using Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) for Cisco UCS servers, enabling seamless integration into IPv6-capable IP networks. This addresses IPv4 limitations and offers improved scalability and management for next-generation infrastructure deployments.

  • Support for AES master key and MACsec (Type-6 [AES], Type-0, and Type-7 encryption) for Ethernet uplink ports is now available on Cisco UCS 6664 Fabric Interconnects and Cisco UCS X-Series Direct (Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnects 9108 100G).

  • Support for ERSPAN on Cisco UCS X-Series Direct (Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnects 9108 100G).

  • Migration support for Cisco UCS 6600 Series Fabric Interconnect, including:

    • UCS-FI-6454 to UCS-FI-6664

    • UCS-FI-64108 to UCS-FI-6664

    • UCS-FI-6536 to UCS-FI-6664

  • Added warning message for Native VLAN Configuration changes on vNICs, highlighting the requirement for a port flap and a brief connectivity impact (approximately 20–40 seconds) when the Native VLAN is modified. This enhancement helps administrators better plan for and manage VLAN changes.

  • Support for KVM direct access over inband on Cisco UCS C-Series M8, M7, and M6 servers, enabling administrators to securely access and manage server consoles directly over the inband network and improving operational efficiency and flexibility for Cisco UCS C-Series servers.

  • Support for secure deletion of all data on Cisco UCS 6400, 6500, 6600 Series, and X-Series Direct Fabric Interconnect using the Command Line Interface (CLI). This enhancement ensures customer data privacy by permanently deleting all data, eliminating the possibility of data retrieval or recovery.

  • Enhanced Login Profile security with configurable rules for user login attempts, enabling administrators to monitor and audit access. The system can block further logins for a set time after a specified number of failed attempts to prevent unauthorized access. Additionally, Cisco UCS Manager now generates syslog messages for authentication failures, including details such as user ID, domain ID, IP address, and account status.

Compatibility

Cisco UCS Manager and Cisco UCS C-Series Release Compatibility Matrix for C-Series Rack-Mount Servers

Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Servers are managed by built-in standalone software— Cisco Integrated Management Controller (Cisco IMC). However, when a C-Series Rack-Mount Server is integrated with Cisco UCS Manager, the Cisco IMC does not manage the server anymore.

Each Cisco UCS Manager release incorporates its corresponding C-Series Standalone release. For example, Cisco UCS Manager Release 4.3(6) includes the 4.3(6) server bundle for all the M8, M7, M6 and S3260 M5 servers, and the 4.3(2) server bundle for all other M5 servers. This ensures support for all M8, M7, M6, and M5 servers listed in the C-Series Standalone releases.

Cisco UCS Equivalency Matrix for Cisco Intersight, Cisco IMC, and Cisco UCS Manager outlines the release timeline for Cisco Intersight, Cisco Integrated Management Controller (IMC), and Cisco UCS Manager (UCSM). It includes essential information such as the date each patch was posted, the specific patch version, and the platforms that are supported by each release. By referring to this matrix, you can identify the appropriate firmware and software versions required for your servers before migrating them to Cisco Intersight. This ensures that your server infrastructure remains supported and operates efficiently during and after the transition.

The following table lists the Cisco UCS Manager and C-Series software standalone releases for C-Series Rack-Mount Servers:

UCS Manager Health and Pre-Upgrade Check Tool

The UCS Manager Health and Pre-Upgrade Check Tool provides automated health and pre-upgrade checks that are designed to ensure your clusters are healthy before you upgrade. It is imperative that this healthcheck is not just performed, but that you take corrective action on any cluster that is found to be unhealthy. Correct all issues reported by the UCS Manager health check before continuing.

Internal Dependencies

This section explains the interdependencies between Cisco UCS hardware and Cisco UCS Manager versions, including the following considerations:

  • Version dependencies for Server FRU items such as DIMMs depend on the server type.

  • Chassis items such as fans and power supplies work with all versions of Cisco UCS Manager.

In this release, an interactive compatibility lookup tool is available to help you quickly determine supported combinations of Infrastructure Releases, Fabric Interconnects, servers, VICs, and IOM modules based on the selected release.

Capability Catalog

The Cisco UCS Manager Capability 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 Capability Catalog is embedded in Cisco UCS Manager, but at times it is also released as a single image file to make updates easier.

The following table lists the PIDs added in this release and maps UCS software releases to the corresponding Capability Catalog file.
