FASTER + SIMPLER = BETTER
To demonstrate the migration benefits of the Cisco UCS solution, we configured
a Cisco UCS C240 M3 Rack Server and a Cisco UCS B200 M3 Blade Server (in a UCS 5108
Blade Server Chassis). We configured a UCS Manager Service Profile for the Cisco UCS
B200 M3 Blade Server and installed VMware ESXi 5.1.0 to Boot from SAN (storage area
network). We used Cisco UCS Service Profile association to transfer the profile, or server
identity, from the UCS B200 M3 blade server to UCS C240 M3 rack server. Doing this
automatically migrated the server identity settings and data ownership rights from the
UCS blade server to the rack server. For a partial list of server identity settings that you
can manage with UCS Manager, see
Then, we completed the same migration with the HP ProLiant solution. We
configured an HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 Rack Server and an HP ProLiant BL460c Gen8
Server Blade (in a HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure). The HP ProLiant BL460c Gen8
Server Blade was configured with VMware ESXi 5.1.0 to boot from SAN prior to the
migration. There is no direct blade to rack server identity transfer capability available
from HP.
Figure 1 shows the total number of steps each solution took to complete the
migration.
(Note: The HP solution requires additional steps to configure the data
ownership rights to the SAN to the rack server configuration. We do not show those
steps because this process can vary between storage vendors. These extra steps are not
necessary with the Cisco solution because of the built-in capabilities of UCS Manager
Service Profiles and UCS SingleConnect.)
The difference in the number of steps required is due to the way each solution
handles the migration. A UCS Service Profile is assigned to a single physical server, and it

automated approach to server
identity migration, including data
ownership rights, took 83.3 percent
fewer steps, making it the solution
of choice. (Fewer steps are better.)
