Description

Cisco Unified Computing System(UCS) provides unique features for the contemporary data centres. Cisco UCS is a unified solution that consolidates computing, network and storage connectivity components along-with centralized management. Cisco UCS reduces TCO and improves scalability and flexibility. Stateless computing blade server's design simplifies the troubleshooting, and Cisco-patented extended memory technology provides higher virtualized servers consolidation results. A hands-on guide to take you through deployment in Cisco UCS. With real-world examples for configuring and deploying Cisco UCS components, this book will prepare you for the practical deployments of Cisco UCS data centre solutions. If you want to learn and enhance your hands-on skills with Cisco UCS solutions, this book is certainly for you. Starting with the description of Cisco UCS equipment options, this hands-on guide then introduces Cisco UCS Emulator which is an excellent resource to practically learn Cisco UCS components' deployment. You will also be introduced to all areas of UCS solutions with practical configuration examples. You will also discover the Cisco UCS Manager, which is the centralized management interface for Cisco UCS. Once you get to know UCS Manager, the book dives deeper into configuring LAN, SAN, identity pools, resource pools, and service profiles for the servers. The book also presents other administration topics including Backup, Restore, user's roles, and high availability cluster configuration. Finally, you will learn about virtualized networking, 3rd party integration tools and testing failure scenarios. You will learn everything you need to know for the rapidly growing Cisco UCS deployments in the real-world.

Who is this book for?

If you are a professional such as a system, network, or storage administrator who is responsible for Cisco UCS deployments, this is the perfect book for you. You should have some basic knowledge of the server's architecture, network, and storage technologies. Familiarity with virtualization technologies is also recommended (though not necessary) as the majority of real-world UCS deployments run virtualized loads. Knowledge of Nexus OS is not necessary as the majority of the management tasks are handled in a graphical user interface with very few exceptions using the CLI.

What you will learn

Understand the options for Cisco UCS hardware components and their selection
Discover Cisco UCS Emulator-based lab setup
Get to know UCS Manager interface
Know about different LAN and SAN connectivity and failure scenarios
Create identity and resource pools
Developservice profiles for the stateless servers
Learn about RBAC, backup, restore, and cluster configurations
Get introduced to Nexus 1K integration and integrating 3rd party tools for enhanced features

If you read this book together with the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) by Cisco Press, you will end up with an excellent understanding of UCS. This book covers a lot of material that the other older book does not cover.

Really good for the beginning user. Maybe somewhat redundant for an experienced pro, but has good screen captures and walks through many of the basic processes. Good reference guide to remind yourself of what to do, even if you have done it before. I learned a lot and got stronger on my fundamentals.
