Cisco UCS S3260 Storage Server Chassis Installation and Service Guide
Appendix E Upgrading to Cisco UCS S3260 System With S3260 M5 Server Nodes
Installing a Second Server Node or SIOC to the S3260 System With M5 Server Node
Migrating From Version 02 SIOC to Version 03 SIOC
This procedure describes how to migrate from SIOC Version 02 (UCS-S3260-SIOC) to SIOC Version
03 (UCS-S3260-PCISIOC).
•
The version 02 SIOC (UCSC-S3260-SIOC) uses an integrated Cisco UCS VIC 1300 Series chip
on-board, so there is no removable adapter card. There are no storage drives in the SIOC.
•
The Version 03 SIOC (UCS-S3260-PCISIOC) uses a removable PCIe-style adapter card
(half-height, half-length, Gen-3, x8 lane). It also supports up to two 2.5-inch NVMe SSDs and an
RTC battery.
Note
The Version 03 SIOC is supported only with the S3260 M5 server node. It is not supported with
earlier server nodes.
Note
Do not mix Version 02 SIOCs with Version 03 SIOCs in the same system.
Note
If your system has two Version 03 SIOCs, they must have identical adapter cards. Do not mix
adapter cards between Version 03 SIOCs in a chassis.
Note
Version 03 SIOCs require Cisco IMC 4.0(1
n
) or later and Cisco UCS Manager 4.0(1
n
) or later.
The upgrade process is described in the following procedure.
Procedure Summary
1.
Ensure that the entire S3260 system with Version 02 SIOCs (and M5 server nodes) is running
3.1(3a).
2.
Disconnect all power cords to remove power from the system.
3.
Replace the Version 02 SIOCs with Version 03 SIOCs.
4.
Reconnect cables and power cords.
5.
Upgrade the entire S3260 system with M5 server nodes to 4.0(1
x
).
6.
Boot the system and set CMC and BMC to factory defaults.
7.
Configure IP addresses and network settings.
8.
Perform drive zoning for hard drives.
Full Procedure
Step 1
Ensure that the entire Cisco S3260 system with M5 server node is running Cisco IMC 3.1(3a) firmware
before you begin the upgrade.
If the system is running an earlier version, download and run the S3260 Host Upgrade Utility (HUU) for
release 3.1(3a):
Step 2
Shut down and remove power from the entire system. You must disconnect all power cords to completely
remove power.
