Overview
This five-day Cisco UCS X-Series with Intersight Deployment course enables participants to deploy, troubleshoot and operate a UCS X-Series production installation.
Deploy: covers deployment of the X9508 chassis, X210c/X410c compute nodes, 6400/6500 Series Fabric Interconnects and other hardware options. Participants learn how to prepare the UCS X-Series hardware components for discovery by Intersight Managed Mode (IMM). Participants gain practical experience through hands-on labs.
Troubleshoot: enables participants to effectively troubleshoot common issues with Fabric Interconnect configurations, vNIC/vHBA configuration issues, firmware update issues and profile/policy/pool configuration issues. Information is also provided on CLI/Intersight troubleshooting options and common troubleshooting methodologies. Participants gain practical experience through hands-on labs.
Operate: participants will be provided with the information and tools to manage and support UCS X-Series in a production environment. The students will be using the most up-to-date tools in Cisco’s Intersight Dashboard for day-to-day operations. This will include the new Telemetry Dashboard and the new Monitoring tool. Participants gain practical experience through hands-on labs.
