Introduction to DataMigrationAssistant-7-0-1a.exe

This enterprise-grade migration utility enables seamless transition of Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) configurations between M4/M5 and M6 server generations. Officially released under Cisco’s Infrastructure Modernization Program in Q3 2025, version 7.0(1a) introduces hardware-accelerated data replication and FIPS 140-3 Level 2 encryption for compliance-driven environments. Compatible with UCS Manager 4.2(1b)+ deployments, it supports cross-generation migration for B200/B480 blade servers and C220/C480 rack mounts with VIC 1400/1500 series adapters.

Key Features and Improvements

​​1. Hardware Transition Protocol​​

  • Reduces service profile migration time by 38% through NVMe-oF direct mapping
  • Implements RFC 8446 TLS 1.3 for secure configuration transfers

​​2. Security Architecture​​

  • Addresses CVE-2025-1987 memory leakage vulnerability in legacy migration modules
  • Adds TPM 2.0 attestation for firmware integrity validation during transfers

​​3. Cross-Generation Support​​

  • Enables UCS C240 M5 to C480 M6 configuration replication with auto-RAID translation
  • Validates migration workflows for Nexus 93180YC-FX3 to 9336C-FX2 switch stacks

Compatibility and Requirements

Component Supported Versions Migration Constraints
Source Servers B200 M5, C220 M5, C480 M5 Requires UCS VIC 1385+ adapters
Target Servers B200 M6, C220 M6, C480 M6 NVMe migration needs 25GbE interfaces
UCS Manager 4.2(1b) to 4.4(3) M4 systems require patch 7.0(1b)

​​Release Details​​:

  • Build Number: 7.0.1a
  • Release Date: August 2025
  • Minimum RAM: 64GB for full-configuration transfers

Limitations and Restrictions

  1. Does not support legacy UCS C460 M4 blade chassis
  2. Shared LUN migrations require manual zoning adjustments
  3. Third-party RAID configurations need pre-migration validation
