Management Interfaces; Tasks You Can Perform In Cisco Imc; Creating Virtual Drives From Unused Physical Disks; Creating A Raid Volume Based On A Single Drive Group: Raid 0, 1, 5, And 6 - Cisco UCS C220 M3 Configuration Manual

Management Interfaces

You can use a web-based GUI or Secure Shell (SSH)–based command-line interface (CLI) to access, configure,
administer, and monitor the server. Almost all tasks can be performed in either interface, and the results of tasks
performed in one interface are displayed in the other. However, you cannot do the following:
●
Use the Cisco IMC GUI to invoke the Cisco IMC CLI
● View a command that has been invoked through the Cisco IMC CLI in the Cisco IMC GUI
●
Generate Cisco IMC CLI output from the Cisco IMC GUI

Tasks You Can Perform in Cisco IMC

You can use the Cisco IMC to perform the following server management tasks:
●
Power on, power off, power cycle, reset, and shut down the server
● Toggle the locator LED
●
Configure the server boot order
●
View server properties and sensors
● Manage remote presence
●
Create and manage local user accounts and enable remote-user authentication through Microsoft Active
Directory
● Configure network-related settings, including network interface card (NIC) properties, IPv4, VLANs, and
network security
●
Configure communication services, including HTTP, SSH, and Intelligent Platform Management Interface
(IPMI) over LAN
●
Manage certificates
●
Configure platform event filters
● Update Cisco IMC firmware
●
Monitor faults, alarms, and server status

Creating Virtual Drives from Unused Physical Disks

A drive group is a group of physical drives. These drives are managed in partitions known as virtual drives.
A virtual drive is a partition in a drive group that is composed of contiguous data segments on the drives. A virtual
drive can consist of an entire drive group, multiple drive groups, an entire drive group plus parts of other drive
groups, a part of a drive group, parts of more than one drive group, or a combination of any two of these options.
