Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Reason for Advisory:

CSCvp68182 – Software upgrade from UCS Manager prior to 3.2(3j), 4.0(1a), 4.0(1b), or 4.0(1c) to UCS Manager 4.0(4a) will cause a failure on a small subset of B200 M5, B480 M5 blades, or S3260 M5 servers.

 

Affected Platforms:

Cisco UCS B-Series Servers – A small subset of B200 M5 and B480 M5 servers.

Cisco UCS S-Series Servers – A very small subset of S3260 M5 servers.

 

Symptom:

Cisco UCS B200 M5, B480 M5, or S3260 M5 servers will not boot after an upgrade from UCS Manager prior to 3.2(3j), 4.0(1a), 4.0(1b), or 4.0(1c) to UCS Manager 4.0(4a).

 
Conditions:

Upgrade from UCS Manager prior to UCS Manager 3.2(3j) to UCS Manager 4.0(4a), or a UCS upgrade from UCS Manager 4.0(1a), 4.0(1b), or 4.0(1c) to UCS Manager 4.0(4a), will cause a small subset of Cisco UCS B200 M5, B480 M5 blades, and S3260 M5 servers to not activate or have IOM connectivity to the BMC. 

 
Workaround:

If servers have already been upgraded to UCS Manager 4.0(4a) without any issues, continue to use it.

For servers running UCS Manager prior to 3.2(3j), 4.0(1a), 4.0(1b), or 4.0(1c), please upgrade to UCS Manager 4.0(2), 4.0(4b) or later.
