Hardware Compatibility Report
The Cisco UCS Hardware Compatibility Report allows you to check interoperability information for Cisco UCS components and configurations that have been tested and verified by Cisco, by Cisco partners, or both. You can run reports and check the status against your current software version or a target software version.
The hardware compatibility report checks the compatibility of the operating systems on the servers, and then checks the adapter drivers associated with that operating system.
Note |
If you run the hardware compatibility report using the Cisco UCS Platform Emulator, the servers can be checked, but not the adapter drivers. Therefore the overall status will always read Can Not Determine or Not Validated. |
Running hardware compatibility reports requires the following:
-
All servers that you want to run the hardware compatibility report against must be associated with a service profile.
-
You must have a Cisco.com account with Hardware Compatibility Catalog selected to download or import updated versions of the hardware compatibility list. If you do not already have an account, see the procedure to set up an account in the Cisco UCS Central Administration Guide.
Note |
Cisco UCS Central ships with a version of the hardware compatibility list, but we recommend that you update to the latest version before running the report. You will no longer be able to download the Hardware Compatibility Catalog stored in https:/ / ucshclserver.cloudapps.cisco.com/ fetch/ current.tar.gz from Cisco.com. Cisco recommends that you run the following command to download the catalog and then import it into Cisco UCS Central from the UI. Before you run the command, ensure that you have internet connectivity. |
