  3. What is Cisco UCS’sProgrammatic Infrastructure?

  4. Cisco Unified Computing System • Cisco UCS™ Manager • (Read / Write Configuration Interfaces) • UCS Manager GUI and CLI • Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnects(Read Only / Cut Through Interfaces) • SNMP, Syslog, SMTP, SMASH CLP, CIM XML, Smart Call Home • 20, 40, 48, and 96 ports Cisco UCS I/O modules Cisco UCS Blade Server Chassis • Cisco UCS Blade and Rack Servers(Cut through Interfaces to CIMC)Serial over LAN, KVM, IPMI Cisco UCS I/O Adapters

  5. Programmatic Infrastructure Comprehensive XML API, standards-based interfaces Bi-Directional access to physical & logical internals Self Serve portals Management Tools Auditing Tools UCS CLI UCS GUI Direct System Status Physical Inventory Logical Inventory 3rd Party Customer XML API Broad 3rd party integration support Faster custom integration for customer use cases Consistent data and views across ALL interfaces

  6. Cisco Developer Network Web Based Developer Community http://developer.cisco.com/web/unifiedcomputing/home Downloads UCS Platform Emulator (UCSPE) goUCS Automation Tool XML API, PowerShell code Examples Cisco UCS PowerTool (PowerShell Module) Microsoft SCOM Management Pack for Cisco UCS Microsoft SCVMM UI Extension for Cisco UCS Microsoft SCO Integration Pack for Cisco UCS Documentation Programming & Developer Guides Whitepapers Reference Guides (XML Model, Faults) Collaboration Blogs Peer to peer forums Videos Access to Cisco Subject Matter Experts

  7. UCS Platform Emulator (UCSPE) No UCS Hardware Needed for API integration Development Full featured emulator for the UCS Manager Installs as a Virtual Machine Provides complete support for all XML API calls Object Browser to peruse the UCSM model Import & replicate existing live UCS Manager physical inventory Share saved physical inventories among UCS Platform Emulators Drag-n-drop hardware builder to create custom physical inventory

  8. What toolkits are available for Cisco UCS automation development?

  9. Deliver integrated private cloud solutionsCisco compute and network infrastructure with WS2012, SC 2012/SP1 and Hyper-V UCS PowerTool for PowerShell “Single Pane of Glass” Provision and Manage Windows Server 2012 Physical and virtual environments supported by Cisco UCS and Cisco Virtual Networking Infrastructure.

  18. Monitoring Cisco UCS with Operations Manager

  19. Managing Cisco UCS with Virtual Machine Manager

  20. Cisco UCS UI extension for SCVMM Manage your private cloud from a single console Physical Compute and Virtual Infrastructure in one place Show UCS inventory in SCVMM Launch UCSM GUI from SCVMM Summary status of servers Basic functions on servers SP association Launch KVM Change Power/Server status Show Service Profiles, Templates Instantiate SPs from templates Correlate Service Profiles to physical servers to hypervisors relationships

  21. UCS Management with Operations Manager Holistic View of Converged Infrastructure Health Monitor alerts and faults on Chassis, Blades, Fabric Interconnects, I/O Power Supply, Fan Modules, etc. Manage multiple UCS domains with single management pack Simple and Powerful Visualizations Graphical Views of UCS topology Graphical views of physical and logical entities and relationships Reliable Information UCS XML API provides a powerful, supported interface for Operations Manager
