• Attendance of the following Cisco learning offerings is recommended to fully benefit from this course: Configuring Cisco Data Center Unified Computing (DCUCS)

This course covers the implementation and operation of Cisco UCS in the data center, and is designed to serve the needs of engineers and technicians who implement Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) B-Series Blade Servers and Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Servers.

You will be guided through rack installation and provisioning of server hardware, operating systems, hypervisors, and applications. Much of the content is devoted to management and maintenance. Upon completing this course, you will be able to meet these overall objectives:

• Install Cisco R-Series Rack Enclosures in the data center.
• Use Cisco Integrated Management Controller to provision LAN and SAN connectivity for the C-Series server.
• Use the LSI MegaRAID web user interface to provision local hard drives into a RAID 5 array.
• Implement system management, maintenance, and high availability services for Cisco UCS B-Series.
• Maintain Cisco UCS in a high-availability configuration Implement generation 1 and generation 2 connectivity.
• Implement LAN & SAN connectivity for Cisco UCS B-Series hardware.
• Provision VLANs and fabric interconnect uplinks for server connectivity to the Layer 3 data center cloud.
• Provision VSANs and fabric interconnect Fibre Channel uplinks for server connectivity to the data center storage cloud.
• Provision service profiles with initial and updating templates Implement virtualization features.
• Provision Cisco VM-FEX
