The action that must be performed before renumbering a Cisco UCS chassis is to re-acknowledge the chassis. Re-acknowledging the chassis is a process that forces the Cisco UCS Manager to rediscover the chassis and its components, such as the I/O modules, the power supplies, and the fans. Re-acknowledging the chassis is necessary before renumbering the chassis, because it ensures that the Cisco UCS Manager has the latest information about the chassis and its configuration. Re-acknowledging the chassis also allows the network engineer to apply any pending configuration changes or policies to the chassis and its components. Re-acknowledging the chassis can be done from the Cisco UCS Manager GUI or CLI, by selecting the chassis and choosing the Re-Acknowledge option.Reference:=

The two components that support specific power limits on a Cisco UCS C-Series rack server are the processor and the graphic card. The processor and the graphic card are the two components that consume the most power on a server, and they can be configured to have specific power limits to control the power usage and performance of the server. The power limits can be set using the Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) web interface or CLI, or using the Cisco UCS Manager if the server is integrated with a Cisco UCS domain. The power limits can be applied to individual processors or graphic cards, or to the entire server. The power limits can help to optimize the power efficiency and thermal management of the server, as well as to prevent power capping or throttling issues.Reference:=

The import function is available for all configuration, system configuration, and logical configuration files. You can perform an import while the system is up and running. An import operation modifies information on the management plane only. Some modifications caused by an import operation, such as a change to a vNIC assigned to a server, can cause a server reboot or other operations that disrupt traffic. https://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/sw/gui/config/guide/141/UCSM_GUI_Configuration_Guide_141_chapter43.html#concept_D789E16C90724AEFB99D565574E45AD5

A full state backup of a Cisco UCS Manager database performs a complete binary dump of the database as a .bin file, not a .txz or a .sql file. A full state backup contains all of the configurations and all of the runtime states and statuses of the Cisco UCS domain, but not the passwords. A full state backup can be used to restore the Cisco UCS Manager database to the same or a different fabric interconnect, as long as the hardware configuration is identical.Reference:=Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) - Cisco, Chapter 5: Implementing Cisco Unified Computing System Rack Servers, Section: Back Up and Restore the Cisco UCS Manager Database

The default host firmware policy is a system-defined policy that contains the firmware entries of all the components that are supported by the Cisco UCS Manager version. When a Cisco UCS Manager upgrade occurs, the default host firmware policy is updated to contain the firmware entries of all the components that are supported by the new Cisco UCS Manager version. The default host firmware policy is not replaced, assigned, or matched by any other policy after a Cisco UCS Manager upgrade.Reference:=Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) - Cisco, Chapter 5: Implementing Cisco Unified Computing System Rack Servers, Section: Manage Firmware Versions in Cisco UCS Manager

To use SaaS to manage Cisco computing, you need to have a Cisco Intersight account and a device/claim ID for each device that you want to manage. Cisco Intersight is a cloud-based platform that provides unified management, automation, and analytics for Cisco data center products. A device/claim ID is a unique identifier that is generated when you register a device with Cisco Intersight. You can use the device/claim ID to claim the device and add it to your Intersight account. Once you claim the device, you can monitor, configure, and troubleshoot it from the Intersight dashboard.Reference: For more information on how to use SaaS to manage Cisco computing, please refer to the following resources:

To achieve the most optimal on demand CPU performance while configuring the BIOS settings of a UCS C-series rack mount server, you should set the CPU Performance option to C0/C1 state. This option enables the CPU to operate in the highest performance state (C0) or the lowest power state (C1) depending on the workload demand. This allows the CPU to maximize its performance and efficiency without compromising its thermal and power limits. The other options (C6 Retention, C2 state, and C6 non-Retention) reduce the CPU performance by putting the CPU into deeper sleep states (C2 or C6) when idle, which can increase the latency and power consumption when resuming the CPU activity.Reference: For more details on how to configure the BIOS settings of a UCS C-series rack mount server, please refer to the following resources:

A logical configuration backup of a Cisco UCS Manager database is a file that contains all of the configurations that are stored in the Cisco UCS Manager database, such as policies, pools, service profiles, templates, and firmware versions. The file has an extension .tgz and can be created and restored using the Cisco UCS Manager GUI or CLI. A logical configuration backup also contains the configuration organizations and locales, which are logical entities that group and isolate resources within a Cisco UCS domain. Organizations and locales can be used to delegate administrative tasks and privileges to different users or groups. The other options (AAA and RBAC configurations, VLAN and VSAN configurations) are not part of a logical configuration backup, but rather a full state backup, which is a different type of backup that includes the operational state and statistics of the Cisco UCS domain.Reference: For more information on how to create and restore a logical configuration backup of a Cisco UCS Manager database, please refer to the following resources:

Before enabling a Cisco UCS Manager domain for Cisco Intersight connectivity, you must configure the DNS servers and the NTP servers for the domain. The DNS servers are required to resolve the hostname of the Cisco Intersight service (svc.intersight.com) and the NTP servers are required to synchronize the time between the Cisco UCS Manager and the Cisco Intersight service. These settings ensure that the Cisco UCS Manager can establish a secure and reliable connection with the Cisco Intersight service and register the domain with the Cisco Intersight account.
