Provider Groups
A provider group is a set of providers that will be used by Cisco UCS during the authentication process. Cisco
UCS Manager allows you to create a maximum of 16 provider groups, with a maximum of eight providers
allowed per group.
During authentication, all the providers within a provider group are tried in order. If all of the configured
servers are unavailable or unreachable, Cisco UCS Manager automatically falls back to the local authentication
method using the local username and password.
