• Q&A
What is UCS ?
• A unified computing system (UCS) is a

Cisco designed system for creating a more
cost-effective, efficient and centrally
managed data center architecture by
integrating computing, networking,
virtualization and storage features &
functionalities.
• It is an (x86) architecture data center server

platform composed of computing hardware,
virtualization support, switching fabric, and
management software which was
introduced in 2009.

UCSM access - GUI Java Enable Logging in Java to capture issues
Example of session log file on client
HTML5
Client logs for debugging UCSM access & Client KVM access are found at this location
on Client system:
C:\Documents and Settings\userid\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\log\.ucsm
Unified Computing System Manager
• Embedded device manager for family of UCS components

• Enables stateless computing via Service Profiles
• Efficient scale: Same effort for 1 or N blades
Unified Computing System Manager – HTML5
UCSM – HA mode – Identify primary/secondary
UCSM Client Logs
To find what log you should currently view for issues with UCSM Window go to task manager to check the
process id for the javaw process. The same file should appear in the log area also base it off the time
modified.
UCS Faults
A fault is an abnormal condition or defect at the component,

equipment, or sub-system level which may lead to a failure
UCSM Access Over Firewall
 Ports to be opened for Accessing UCSM Over firewall
 TCP 21 if FTP will be used for image/backup transfer
 TCP 22 for ssh
 TCP 23 if telnet is enabled (off by default)
 TCP/UDP 53 DNS Resolution
 UDP 123 NTP
 TCP 80 for HTTP
 UDP 161/162 if SNMP is enabled (off by default)
 TCP 443 if https is enabled (off by default)
 UDP 514 is syslog is enabled
 UDP 623 if IPMI/SOL access is required
 TCP 2068 (KVM)

UCSM Platform Emulator (UCSPE)
UCSM Platform Emulator (UCSPE)
 UCSPE(UCS Platform Emulator) is a software emulator which emulates
all of UCS components to give an experience of real Hardware.
 This is mainly intended for training, demo, early testing purpose. Below
details will give where/how to get it, deploy & bring up to practice.
 UCSPE Cisco community site 

https://communities.cisco.com/docs/DOC-37827
 Detailed UCSPE user guide 

129066/b_Cisco_UCS_Platform_Emulator_User_Guide_Release_3_1.2bPE1_Final2.pdf
ReferSection “Installing and Launching Cisco UCS Platform Emulator” on how
to deploy/bringup.
UCSM Platform Emulator (UCSPE) -Bringup
•Download UCSPE3.1.2bPE1 @ https://communities.cisco.com/docs/DOC-69786 (Requires Cisco.com login)
UCSPE OVA  UCSPE_3.1.2b.ova
•Import to ESXi vSphere Client to create UCSPE VM
•Point to OVA file downloaded
•Once VM is created, power on the vm….allow some time for VM to boot
UCSPE - Bringup
Once VM completely boots….it will show
Press “n” for configuring the IP address. It
up in below screen in VM Console
requires 3 IP address: VIP, FI-A-IP & FI-B-IP
• Once applied it will restart the network & ready for launch.
• Type VIP address on browser. Example: https://10.197.253.50
• By default, UCSPE will come up with latest FI’s FI6332 as below
UCSPE- GUI
Click on UCSM Manager icon to open the
UCSM GUI
Based on whether we want to open HTML5

UCSM GUI or Java UCSM GUI, click
appropriately
