Updates to the Capability Catalog
Capability Catalog updates are included in each Cisco UCS Manager update. Unless otherwise instructed by
Cisco Technical Support, you only need to activate the Capability Catalog update after you've downloaded,
updated, and activated an Cisco UCS Infrastructure Software Bundle.
As soon as you activate a Capability Catalog update, Cisco UCS Manager immediately updates to the new
baseline catalog. You do not have to perform any further tasks. Updates to the Capability Catalog do not
require you to reboot any component in the Cisco UCS domain or to reinstall Cisco UCS Manager.
Each Cisco UCS Manager release contains a baseline catalog. In rare circumstances, Cisco releases an update
to the Capability Catalog and makes it available on the same site where you download firmware images. The
catalog update is compatible with Cisco UCS, Release 1.3(1) and later.
The Capability Catalog version is determined by the version of Cisco UCS Manager that you are using.
Cisco UCS Manager 2.0 releases work with any 2.0 release of the Capability Catalog, but not with any
1.0 releases of the Capability Catalog. For information about Capability Catalog releases supported by
specific Cisco UCS Manager releases, see the Release Notes for Cisco UCS Manager accessible through
the Cisco UCS B-Series Servers Documentation Roadmap available at the following URL: http://
www.cisco.com/go/unifiedcomputing/b-series-doc.
