Introduction
Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) has the concept of an automatic policy called Autoconfiguration
Policies. This policy is applied to any new blade that is installed in the UCS system. This policy is to allow
you to upgrade blades to your desired firmware revisions automatically, which eliminates the need to worry
that new or replaced hardware will need to be upgraded or downgraded to meet organizational needs.
This document illustrates how this is done by:
•
Creating a Service Profile
•
Creating Autoconfiguration Policies and add these Autoconfiguration Policies to the Service Profile
created
Prerequisites
Requirements
