Cisco UCS Blade Server
Cisco UCS Manager is now able to complete auto-discovery of the server.
Step 9 Use Cisco UCS Manager 2.1(3a) to upgrade and activate the server CIMC to version 2.1(3a) or later.
Use the procedures in the GUI or CLI Firmware Management Guide, Release 2.1.
Step 10 Wait for the server to be discovered and by Cisco UCS Manager.
Step 11 Perform a board controller activation by using the Cisco UCS Manager CLI interface. Use the following
sequence of commands:
Note The server automatically reboots after the commit-buffer command is executed.
Note The show image command in the sequence below lists the board controller versions available for
the server. Always activate the latest board controller image version when you use the
activate firmware command.
# scope server <chassis/server>
# scope boardcontroller
# show image
# activate firmware <boardcontroller version>.0 force
# commit-buffer
See also Sample Board Controller Activation Command Sequence, page 15.
Step 12 Do not continue with the next step until the board controller activation completes. Verify whether the
activation is complete by using the show version command.
As shown in the example below, wait until the Activate-Status returns Ready. This process takes a few
minutes before Activate-status is successfully completed and returns Ready.
# show version
BoardController:
Running-Vers: 8.0
Package-Vers:
Activate-Status: Ready
Step 13 Clear the WILL_BOOT_FAULT by using the Cisco UCS Manager GUI to reset the server CIMC:
a. In the Navigation pane, click the Equipment tab.
b. On the Equipment tab, expand Equipment > Chassis > Chassis number > Servers, then choose
your server.
c. In the Work pane, click the General tab.
d. In the Actions area, click Recover Server.
e. In the Recover Server dialog, click Reset CIMC (Server Controller), then click OK.
Wait for CIMC to reboot and for Cisco UCS Manager to do a shallow discovery of the server. This
takes two to three minutes. At the end of this process the WILL_BOOT_FAULT is cleared.
