Global Policy Resolution
If global policy resolution is not working, verify the following:
-
On the Cisco UCS Manager Registration page, make sure that policy resolution control for the category is set to Global.
-
Place Cisco UCS domain into the correct domain group in Cisco UCS Central.
-
Define the global policies for Cisco UCS Central for that category.
-
In Cisco UCS Manager, if the local service profiles refer to global policies, and the global policies are not resolving down to Cisco UCS Manager from Cisco UCS Central, verify if:
-
The registered Cisco UCS domain is in a suspended state.
-
The Cisco UCS Manager GUI displays cached data.
-
The Cisco UCS domain has lost visibility.
-
-
Local service profiles refer to maintenance policies and schedulers from the domain group from which the Cisco UCS domain is a member. From Cisco UCS Central release 1.3(1a) and above, host firmware policies resolve from the org hierarchy.
-
All global policies work in entirety, and not partially across nested domain-groups.
For example, a Cisco UCS domain is part of subdomain group root/DG1. DG1 has time zone settings defined without an NTP server, while domain group root has NTP servers defined. Only the time zone is resolved at the Cisco UCS domain. The NTP server settings should not be pushed down to Cisco UCS Manager.
