Configuring the UCS Manager Adapter

Overview

The UCS Manager Adapter software is already installed as part of a normal installation of CWA. However, you must 
perform the following steps to license and configure the adapter before you can define UCS Manager jobs:



 – License the connection(s) to the UCS Manager. You cannot define an UCS Manager 

connection until you have applied the UCS Manager license from Cisco. 



 - Create one or more user definitions in CWA with access to the 

UCSM instance using UCSM user accounts and passwords. Users in CWA are authorized to run UCSM jobs on behalf 
of these UCSM runtime users. Defining and securing UCSM users with CWA is covered in these sections: 



 – Define the HTTPS security protocol for the UCSM Adapter.



 – Define a connection so the master can communicate with the UCSM 

instance.

See also 

 for information about general and adapter-specific properties that can be 

set to control things like logging and connection properties. 

Licensing an Adapter

Each CWA Adapter must be separately licensed. You cannot use an Adapter until you apply the license file. If you 
purchase the Adapter after the original installation of CWA, you will receive a new license file authorizing the use of the 
Adapter. 

You might have a Demo license which is good for 30 days, or you might have a Permanent license. The procedures to 
install these license files are described below.
