UCS-X Intersight Deployment
The Cisco UCS X-Series with Intersight Deployment course will enable Cisco customers, internal and Partner SEs/FEs to deploy the UCS X9508 chassis, X210c compute nodes, 6400 Series Fabric Interconnects, and options. Participants will also learn how to prepare the UCS X-Series hardware components for discovery by Intersight Managed Mode (IMM). The course also includes information on how the UCS solution architecture has evolved to the X-Series and how to manage solution components with Intersight.
Course Objectives:
After taking this course, you should be able to:
- Articulate the solution level architecture of the UCS X-Series solution, and the role of IMM and the key differentiators of the X-Series solution from previous UCS architecture
- Identify the function of each hardware component in the UCS X-Series solution and the communication and traffic flow between components.
- Enumerate the key requirements to successfully deploy a UCS-X solution with Intersight.
- Identify the key features Cisco Intersight as they are accessed to manage a UCS X-Series deployment.
Target Audience:
Cisco customers, internal and Partner SEs/FEs looking to deploy the UCS X9508 chassis, X210c compute nodes, and 6400 Series Fabric Interconnects.
