What is a Cisco UCS?

Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS) is a product line by Cisco Systems that wanted to redefine the way data centers were structured and managed. This integrated solution combines computing hardware, a virtualization layer, a switching matrix, and management software in a unified, cohesive system. It provides a highly available and scalable infrastructure that streamlines data center resources by unifying computing, networking, storage access, and virtualization in one system.

How to monitor a Cisco UCS?

ServicePilot makes it very easy to monitor Cisco UCS equipment. Simply configure the SNMP interface of the Cisco UCS device. Then use the ServicePilot web interface to add a resource from the ServicePilot network-cisco-ucs package.

• Global System Information
• Fabric Interconnect health and performance (Interfaces, Fans, Temperature sensors and Power Supplies)
• Chassis health and performance (Interfaces, Fans, Temperature sensors,Power Supplies)
• Blade Servers health and performance on each chassis
