Remote Management

This chapter includes the following sections:

Remote Management

Remote management options in Cisco UCS Central enables you to manage the physical devices such as the Chassis, Servers, Fabric Interconnect and FEXes in the registered UCS domains from both Cisco UCS Central GUI and CLI.

Important:

  • If you want to perform any of the remote management operation in the registered UCS domains, make sure the remote operation feature is enabled in the UCS domains.

  • When you perform any of these remote operations, Cisco UCS Central initiates a configuration request to the UCS domain. This might take about 30 seconds. Make sure to wait for 30 seconds before you check for the changes based on your remote operation.

Using remote management capability you can do the following:

  • Acknowledge, Decommission, and Recommission chassis.

  • Perform Server Maintenance tasks such as Decommission, Recommission, Remove and Re-acknowledge blade, rack-mount and modular servers.

  • Launch KVM Console, Boot up, Shutdown, Reset, Recover, and perform diagnostic interrupt on Fabric Extenders (FEX), blade, rack-mount and modular servers.

  • Turn on/off Locator LED for chassis, blade, rack-mount and modular servers, Fabric Interconnects (FI) and FEXes.

  • Create and download Tech Support Files from the registered UCS domains.

If the servers are associated to a local or global service profile, you can do the following remote management actions on the associated server from the service profiles:

  • Launch KVM Console, Boot up, Shutdown, Reset, and Recover blade, rack-mount and modular servers associated with Global Service Profiles.

  • Launch KVM Console, Boot up, Shutdown, Reset, and Recover blade. rack-mount and modular servers associated with Local Service Profiles.

Important:

Make sure you are aware of the guidelines and recommendation to manage the physical devices in the registered Cisco UCS domains. For specific guidelines on physical device operations and server maintenance, see the following sections Managing the Chassis, Managing Blade Servers, Managing Rack-Mount Servers and Managing I/O Modules in Cisco UCS Manager GUI and CLI Configuration guides: http:/​/​www.cisco.com/​en/​US/​products/​ps10281/​products_​installation_​and_​configuration_​guides_​list.html
