UCSPE limitations

UCSPE is an excellent platform for those looking to gain hands-on experience with Cisco UCS platform and UCSM software without setting up a costly lab. UCSPE provides a profound awareness of all the hardware available for UCS platform, and also provides hands-on configuration experience with the UCSM software.

But, UCSPE has some limitations as compared to the real UCSM software and these are as follows:

  • The system cannot be integrated to a directory server (like Active Directory) for user authentication
  • Server profiles configured can be assigned to the server, but an OS cannot be installed on the UCSPE servers
  • No Keyboard Video Mouse (KVM) interface to the servers is available
  • Remote monitoring data (syslog, SNMP, call home, smart call home, and so on) cannot be sent out
  • High availability of the Fabric Interconnect cluster cannot be simulated
