Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application uses the to find Cisco UCS equipment, including chassis and blades. Discovering some of these resources might require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.

Note: For information on Probe to Pattern migration see the knowledge article KB0694477.

Request apps on the Store

Visit the ServiceNow Store to view all the available apps, and for information about submitting requests to the store. For cumulative release notes information for all released apps, see the ServiceNow Store version history release notes.

Prerequisites

  • Create SNMP credentials

    For more information, see SNMP credentials.

  • Create applicative credentials

    Create applicative credentials for the Cisco UCS Equipment [cmdb_ci_ucs_equipment] CI type. For more information, see Applicative credentials.

  • Verify network connectivity

    Verify that the MID Server has HTTPS access to the UCS Manager on port 443 and is able to reach the management IP address of the UCS equipment.

  • Verify UCS Manager account requirements

    Verify that the account has at least the read-only role in UCS Manager and has permissions to execute XML API queries for the following object classes:

    • computeRackUnit
    • equipmentChassis
    • computeBlade
    • mgmtIf
    • topSystem
    • versionEp
    • equipmentFan

  • Classifier, pattern, and OIDs

    The UCS classifier uses HorzontalDiscoveryProbe to launch the UCS - HD pattern. The classifier also uses these SNMP OIDs, which specify the Cisco UCS Equipment [cmdb_ci_ucs_equipment] table:

    OID Manufacturer Model Table
    1.3.6.1.4.1.9.12.3.1.3.847 Unified Computing Cisco UCS 6120XP 20-Port Fabric Interconnect 1.4(3u)(NX-OS) 5.0 Aggregation Switch Cisco UCS Equipment

Data collected by Discovery during horizontal discovery

Discovery populates the data in the CMDB when running the UCS - HD pattern pattern. Only B-series devices are discovered. The UCS - HD pattern does not find C, S, or E series devices.
