Managing the Flexible Flash Controller

Cisco Flexible Flash

Some C-Series Rack-Mount Servers support an internal Secure Digital (SD) memory card for storage of server software tools and utilities. The SD card is hosted by the Cisco Flexible Flash storage adapter.

The SD storage is available to CIMC as four virtual USB drives. Three are preloaded with Cisco software and the fourth can hold a user-installed hypervisor or other content. The four virtual drives are as follows:

•Cisco UCS Server Configuration Utility (bootable)

•User-installed (may be bootable)

•Cisco drivers (not bootable)

•Cisco Host Upgrade Utility (bootable)

For information about the Cisco software utilities and packages, see the Cisco UCS C-Series Servers Documentation Roadmap at this URL:

Dual Card Management in the Cisco Flexible Flash Controller

The Cisco Flexible Flash controller supports management of two SD cards as a RAID-1 pair. With the introduction of dual card management, you can perform the following tasks:

Action	Description
Reset Cisco Flex Flash	Allows you to reset the controller.
Reset Configuration	Allows you to reset the configuration in the selected
	slot to the default configuration.
Retain Configuration	Allows you to retain the configuration for an SD card
	that supports firmware version 1.2.253.
Configure Operational Profile	Allows you to configure the SD cards on the selected
	Cisco Flexible Flash controller.

RAID Partition Enumeration

Non-RAID partitions are always enumerated from the primary card and the enumeration does not depend on the status of the primary card.
