Cisco UCS Manager and Cisco UCS C-Series Release Compatibility Matrix for C-Series Rack-Mount Servers
Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Servers are managed by built-in standalone software— Cisco Integrated Management Controller (Cisco IMC). However, when a C-Series Rack-Mount Server is integrated with Cisco UCS Manager, the Cisco IMC does not manage the server anymore.
Each Cisco UCS Manager release incorporates its corresponding C-Series Standalone release. For example, Cisco UCS Manager Release 4.2(1) is integrated with C-Series Standalone Release 4.2(1) for the M6 servers, Release 4.1(1) for the M4 and M5 servers, Release 4.0(2) for all the M4 and M5 servers. Hence, it supports all the M6, M5 and M4 servers supported by C-Series Standalone releases.
The following table lists the Cisco UCS Manager and C-Series software standalone releases for C-Series Rack-Mount Servers:

Upgrade and Downgrade to Release 4.2(1)
If Cisco UCS Manager upgrade to release 4.2(1l) fails with Unable to open downloaded image error message, refer Open Caveats for Release 4.2(1l) for a workaround.
Upgrade Limitation
In general, capability catalog can be upgraded within the same major release version. For example, Cisco UCS 3.2(2) release can use a capability catalog with the same major release version like 3.2(1) and cannot use a capability catalog with the release version 3.0(1). However, the Capability Catalog upgrade from 4.2(1) to 4.2(2) can lead to upgrade failure. Cisco UCS release 4.2(1) release version can be used only with 4.2(1) release version of capability catalog.
UCS Manager Health and Pre-Upgrade Check Tool
The UCS Manager Health and Pre-Upgrade Check Tool provides automated health and pre-upgrade checks that are designed to ensure your clusters are healthy before you upgrade. It is imperative that this healthcheck is not just performed, but that you take corrective action on any cluster that is found to be unhealthy. Correct all issues reported by the UCS Manager health check before continuing.

Capability Catalog
The Cisco UCS Manager Capability Catalog is a set of tunable parameters, strings, and rules. Cisco UCS uses the catalog to update the display and configurability of components such as newly qualified DIMMs and disk drives for servers.
The Capability Catalog is embedded in Cisco UCS Manager, but at times it is also released as a single image file to make updates easier.
The following table lists the PIDs added in this release and maps UCS software releases to the corresponding Capability Catalog file.

Cisco UCS Manager includes Third-party Software that is affected by the vulnerabilities identified by the following Common Vulnerability and Exposures (CVE) IDs:
-
CVE-2024-6387—A race condition has been identified in the sshd service related to its signal handler. If a client fails to authenticate within the LoginGraceTime period (default is 120 seconds, previously 600 seconds in older OpenSSH versions), the sshd SIGALRM handler is triggered asynchronously. This handler, however, invokes several functions that are not safe to call from within a signal handler, such as syslog().
The affected third-party software component has been upgraded to a version that includes fixes for the vulnerability. Future versions of the product(s) will not be affected by this vulnerability.
CSCwi59915
Cisco UCS Manager includes Third-party Software that is affected by the vulnerabilities identified by the following Common Vulnerability and Exposures (CVE) IDs:
-
CVE-2023-48795—The SSH transport protocol with certain OpenSSH extensions, found in OpenSSH before 9.6 and other products, allows remote attackers to bypass integrity checks, such that some packets are omitted (from the extension negotiation message), and a client and server may consequently end up with a connection for which some security features have been downgraded or disabled, also known as Terrapin attack.
This occurs because the SSH Binary Packet Protocol (BPP), implemented by these extensions, mishandles the handshake phase and use of sequence numbers. For example, when there is an effective attack against SSH's use of ChaCha20-Poly1305 (and CBC with Encrypt-then-MAC), the bypass occurs in chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com, (and if CBC is used, then the -etm@openssh.com MAC algorithms).
The affected third-party software component has been upgraded to a version that includes fixes for the vulnerability. Future versions of the product(s) will not be affected by this vulnerability.

When changing the FCoE VLAN from 3121 to 3120 in Cisco UCS Manager while FI is in FC Switch mode, initiators can FLOGI and obtain FCID but fail to PLOGI to target ports, resulting in indefinite timeouts. Admin down/up of the FC link or port-channel resolves the issue. This change causes path loss in ESXi, with host logs showing successful FLOGI and FCID assignment but PLOGI timeouts. This issue is resolved. |

Release 4.2(2c)
-
CSCwa97427—Cisco UCS Manager release 4.0(4) and earlier have a limit on the size of an image that can be installed in BMC flash. This limit may cause a Cisco UCS B-Series M5 blade server to lose all management capabilities after upgrading from a Cisco UCS release 4.0(4m) or earlier to release 4.2(2c). To stop this issue from occurring, Cisco UCS Manager checks this condition and blocks the upgrade.
Workaround—While upgrading any Cisco UCS M5 B-Series server from 4.0(4m) or an earlier release, perform a two-step upgrade.
-
First upgrade the server to any 4.1 release. Cisco recommends latest 4.1(3) patch.
-
Once the server is running the 4.1 release, upgrade to 4.2(2) release.
-
-
CSCwc99180—Cisco UCS Manager may block an upgrade process when you try to upgrade B-bundle to release 4.2(2c) without first upgrading the infrastructure A-bundle to 4.2(2c).
Workaround—Upgrade infrastructure A-bundle to 4.2(2c) first and then upgrade B-bundle.
Release 4.2(2a)
-
CSCwa36214—If you downgrade an Intel® X710 card running version 1.826.0 using Cisco UCS Manager running version 4.2(2a), the adapter downgrades without any error, but the adapter does not get listed in the inventory in the next host reset operation and goes into the recovery mode. In another host reset, the adapter goes into unusable state.
Workaround—If you wish to downgrade Intel® X710 card from version 1.826.0 to any lower version, it is recommended to perform outside from the Cisco UCS Manager scope to avoid damaging the card. For example, you can downgrade through HSU tool.
-

Workaround—Clear pending FlexFlash and board controller activation by resetting the FlexFlash controller:
-
OR
-
Clear the pending faults and activating state for the board controller and then apply the service profile association based non-distruptive change.
-
-
CSCvy34349—In a setup equipped with Cisco B200 M6 servers and Cisco Boot Optimized M.2 RAID Controller, if VMD/Intel VROC is enabled, then BIOS may not display the RAID controller during POST.
