About Cisco UCS Manager
Cisco UCS Manager is the management system for all components in a UCS Manager. Cisco UCS Manager
runs within the fabric interconnect. You can use any of the interfaces available with this management service
to access, configure, administer, and monitor the network and server resources for all chassis connected to
the fabric interconnect.
Multiple Management Interfaces
Cisco UCS Manager includes the following interfaces you can use to manage a Cisco UCS domain:
• Cisco UCS Manager GUI
• Cisco UCS Manager CLI
• XML API
• KVM
• IPMI
Almost all tasks can be performed in any of the interfaces, and the results of tasks performed in one interface
are automatically displayed in another.
However, you cannot do the following:
