DCUCS - Configuring Data Center Unified Computing v3.0
DCUCS - Configuring Data Center Unified Computing v3.0 Course Details:
In this course, you will learn to install, configure, and maintain Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) B-Series and C-Series servers with a strong emphasis on Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers. You will focus on the management, maintenance, and troubleshooting of UCS B-Series and C-Series servers using UCS Manager v2.2. You will cover virtualization solutions and how to execute a virtualization solution on UCS B-series and C-series hardware.
New features of the UCS Manager v2.2 will be addressed with additional information provided on the new hardware additions to the UCS portfolio, including the 6200 series Fabric Interconnects, 2204, and 2208 I/O modules (IOMs), and the Cisco UCS 1240 and 1280 virtual interface cards (VICs).
