Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS) Director releases listed in the Products Affected section require Adobe Flash, and full functionality requires that Adobe Flash be installed on the system and that Flash-based content is enabled.
In accordance with Adobe’s End-of-Life announcement, Adobe might block Flash-based content and will no longer distribute or support Flash software after 2020-12-31. In addition, third-party software updates from operating system vendors and/or browser vendors might also block Flash-based content after 2020-12-31.
Even if Flash-based content works normally after 2020-12-31, the lack of Flash maintenance updates from Adobe introduces various levels of risk that administrators should evaluate.
Cisco has migrated from Flash to alternate technologies. Refer to the Workaround/Solution section for specific details on this product.
After 2020-12-31, if Adobe Flash-based content is blocked or if Flash cannot be downloaded or installed, affected products might lose full functionality.
If Adobe Flash-based content is enabled on a system with Flash already installed, affected products might or might not continue to operate normally after 2020-12-31, depending on the organization’s operating system and browser environments.
Customers who use Cisco UCS Director releases earlier than Release 6.5 cannot log in to Cisco UCS Director and will not be able to manage the infrastructure provisioning using Cisco UCS Director.
Cisco UCS Director Release 6.5 users can use the HTML-based view instead of the Classic view.
Go to https://<UCSDirector-IPAddress-or-HostName>/app/ux/index.html. Replace <UCS Director-IPAddress-or-HostName> with the IP address of the Cisco UCS Director server or hostname.
Cisco announced the end-of-life dates for Cisco UCS Director Releases 6.0, 6.5 and 6.6. It is recommended to upgrade to Cisco UCS Director Release 6.7.3.0 or later in order to continue to have full support.
