Cisco UCS Manager
Cisco UCS Manager provides a single point of management for the entire system,
accessible through an intuitive GUI, command-line interface (CLI), and open XML
API. Cisco UCS Manager is based on the following concepts:

•
Policy-based management helps you better define and implement your own best
practices, helping ensure that only consistent, tested, and standards-compliant
systems are provisioned. This approach reduces risks from repetitive and error-
prone manual tasks and facilitates more dynamic data center infrastructure.

prone manual tasks and facilitates more dynamic data center infrastructure.
•
Role-based access control (RBAC) lets you use your existing organizational
structure to manage Cisco UCS. Fine-grained action definition enables simplified
coordination between roles while restricting access to actions that can jeopardize
service uptime. By default, server, network, and storage administrators can
make changes appropriate to their roles, and cross-role visibility enhances
communication between disciplines.

•
A “wire once and walk away” model is supported by Cisco SingleConnect
technology, allowing you to wire the system once and then manage all I/O and
networking configuration through Cisco UCS Manager. For example, you can
establish Fibre Channel connectivity to shared storage by enabling Fibre Channel
over Ethernet (FCoE) through Cisco UCS Manager and directing Cisco virtual
interface cards (VICs) to present Fibre Channel host bus adapters (HBAs) to the
servers.

Automated device discovery and Cisco UCS service profiles and templates
allow servers to have their identity programmed on demand along with all
configuration and connectivity, reducing the potential for human error, improving
consistency, and shortening server deployment time. Created by server, network,
and storage administrators and stored in the fabric interconnects, service profiles
and templates are used by Cisco UCS Manager to automatically configure the
server and its network adapters, fabric extenders, and fabric interconnects to
support the configuration specified in the service profile. This approach greatly
reduces the number of manual steps required to configure servers, network
interface cards (NICs), HBAs, and LAN and SAN switches.

Cisco UCS Central Software extends Cisco UCS Manager to enable policies,
multitenancy, statistics collection, and backup operations on a global scale. Cisco
UCS Central Software aggregates multiple Cisco UCS domains into a common
framework that shares the same hardware abstraction and programmatic API.
Cisco UCS Central Software supports shared global service profiles, templates,
policies, and pools, allowing global control of policies and name spaces for
increased compliance. The automation of processes allows data center managers
to achieve greater efficiency, agility, and scale, while reducing complexity and
risk. Availability and flexibility are retained by not tying multisystem management
of potentially thousands of servers to a single nonredundant entity.
