UCS - installation fun...

We are installing UCS...It is probably the easiest blade system to bring it into the network

In a UCS system - Upstream ---> UCS Manager/Fabric Interconnect ---> Fabric Extender in each Blade Chasis ---> Mez card on Server Blade
Connect to the Interconnect through serial cable and configure Managment IP address by completing the setup steps...

We need to connect to Mgmt0 port - of the Fabric interconnect to Mgmgt net and access

it throught the IP set to the Management port

Once you are able to launch the gui... it is familiar territory

The Rest of the setup can be very specific to your special needs...

The simplicity of UCS is refreshing...
