C-Series Rack Mount Integration with UCSM

Few things to keep in mind when integrating a rack mount server with UCSM:

-CIMC settings must be reset to factory defaults
-As long as you configure the cable management per the Cisco documentation, the server will automatically be discovered by UCSM (just as if you inserted a new blade)
-If you need to decommission a rack mount server for any reason and what to again integrate it with UCSM, don't forget to recommission it from the decommissioned tab
-The VIC card needs to be P81E or 1225 (NOT 1225T)
 -SFPs should be the same on FEX and server side (I used Twinax cables in my environment, which are also supported)
-C-series server needs to be running firmware version 1.4(6) or later.


Will add more tips to this post as I run into them.
