Product migration options

Cisco goes through a very rigorous process to ensure that customers receive support. However in rare occasions, due to component supplier limitations, there may be a need for customer to migrate to a part that is an upgrade of something comparable or better than what they previously bought. This may require customer to upgrade to a different Software and OS version or even the closest generation of an equivalent server that may be currently shipping at the time. Cisco UCS 6200 series Fabric Interconnects are going end-of-support from 31-May-2024, hence UCS M5 servers connected to these FI domains need to migrate to newer model FIs for continued TAC support. UCS supports several recommended non-disruptive migration options to maintain support for M5s, 22xx IOMs, and 5108 Chassis past the 62xx EOL:

1.     Cisco recommends customers with 6200 series and M5 servers to migrate their FIs to 6400 series or 6536 FI. UCS supports non-disruptive FI upgrade to enable this migration.

2.     UCS 5108 chassis with 22xx IOM and M5 B-series servers can migrate to 6400 or 6300 series FI

3.     UCS 5108 chassis with 22xx IOM and M5 B-series servers can migrate to 6536 FI by replacing the IOM-22xx with IOM – 2408

4.     C-series M5 rack-servers can migrate to 6400, 6300 or 6536 FI using appropriate cables/transceivers supported by the respective Fabric Interconnect. Note that this EoL notice only affects devices connected to 6200 series FI domains and not the 6300, 6400 or 6536 FI domains. Included is the 6400 and 6536 FI migration guides to enable this transition https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/ucs-manager/GUI-User-Guides/Fabric-Interconnect-Migration/4-2/b_migration_guide_for_cisco_ucs_fabric_interconnects_4_2.html

Customers may be able to use the Cisco Technology Migration Program (TMP) where applicable to trade-in eligible products and receive credit toward the purchase of new Cisco equipment. For more information about Cisco TMP, customers should work with their Cisco Partner or Cisco account team. Cisco Partners can find additional TMP information on Partner Central at https://www.cisco.com/web/partners/incentives_and_promotions/tmp.html.

Customers may be able to continue to purchase the Cisco UCS M5 Rack Servers (C220 M5, C240 M5, C480 M5) through the Cisco Certified Refurbished Equipment program. Refurbished units may be available in limited supply for sale in certain countries on a first-come, first-served basis until the Last Date of Support has been reached.
