​​Introduction to Bootable_UCSInstall_CUC_15.0.1.10000-24.sha512.iso​​

This SHA512-certified bootable ISO provides centralized deployment capabilities for Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) environments running Collaboration solutions like Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 15.0.1. Designed under Cisco’s Zero-Touch Provisioning framework, it enables automated installation of CUCM clusters on UCS C-Series rack servers and B-Series blade chassis while validating hardware compatibility through preboot diagnostics.

Certified for hybrid deployments integrating Webex Calling and on-premises UC services, the ISO addresses 9 critical vulnerabilities identified in Cisco PSIRT Advisory 2025-UC-0047. Officially released on April 25, 2025, it supports Cisco’s Unified Communications Security Framework 2025 requirements for cryptographic validation of installation media.

​​Key Technical Enhancements​​

  1. ​​Automated Hardware Validation​​
    Pre-installation diagnostics check UCS C220 M6/C240 M6 server components against Cisco Validated Designs (CVD) for UC workloads, reducing deployment errors by 62% compared to manual methods.

  2. ​​Secure Boot Enforcement​​
    UEFI Secure Boot validation ensures only Cisco-signed kernel components load during installation, blocking unauthorized firmware modifications.

  3. ​​Unified Cryptographic Verification​​
    128-character SHA512 hash validation (FIPS 180-4 compliant) with Cisco PKI-signed manifest prevents tampered ISO deployment.

  4. ​​Hypervisor Integration​​
    Native VMware ESXi 8.0U2 and KVM hypervisor detection optimizes virtual machine resource allocation during CUCM deployment.

​​Compatibility Matrix​​

​​Component​​ ​​Supported Models​​ ​​Firmware Requirements​​
UCS Servers C220 M6/C240 M6/B200 M5 BIOS 4.3(4)+, CIMC 5.0(3)+
Fabric Interconnects UCS 6454/64108 Minimum 14.0(3h) baseline
Storage Controllers Cisco 12G SAS Modular Raid Firmware 51.12.0-4296+
Hypervisors VMware ESXi 8.0U2, RHEL KVM Secure Boot enabled
Management OS Cisco UCS Manager 15.0(1)+ 55GB free storage per node

​​Release Date​​: April 25, 2025
​​Critical Note​​: Incompatible with 3rd-party PCIe NVMe drives lacking Cisco SLM-3X25 Secure Boot certificates.

​​Operational Constraints​​

  1. ​​Installation Preconditions​​

    • Requires full disk encryption on UCS servers with TPM 2.0 modules
    • Blocks installation on clusters with mixed-generation fabric interconnects

  2. ​​Environmental Limitations​​

    • Minimum 25Gbps dedicated management network throughput
    • 60-minute maintenance window for full-stack validation

  3. ​​Legacy System Restrictions​​
    Cannot deploy on UCS domains running pre-14.0(1)SU4 firmware

​​Obtaining the Installation Media​​

Authorized partners can access through:

  1. ​​Cisco Software Center​​
