4.2 Cisco Unified Computing System Configuration
This section details the Cisco Unified Computing System configuration that was done as part of the infrastructure
build out for deployment of WebLogic platform. The racking, power and installation of the chassis are described in
the install guide (
and it is beyond the scope of this document. More details on each step can be found in the following documents:

An important aspect of configuring a physical server in a Cisco UCS 5108 chassis is to develop a service profile
through Cisco UCS Manager. Service profile is an extension of the virtual machine abstraction applied to physical
servers. The definition has been expanded to include elements of the environment that span the entire data center,
encapsulating the server identity (LAN and SAN addressing, I/O configurations, firmware versions, boot order,
network VLAN, physical port, and quality-of-service [QoS] policies) in logical “service profiles” that can be
dynamically created and associated with any physical server in the system within minutes rather than hours or
days. The association of service profiles with physical servers is performed as a simple, single operation. It enables
migration of identities between servers in the environment without requiring any physical configuration changes
and facilitates rapid bare metal provisioning of replacements for failed servers.
