​​Introduction to UCSInstall_UCOS_8.0.2.10000-24.sgn.iso​​

This recovery ISO provides a unified operating system restoration solution for Cisco UCS B-Series Blade and C-Series Rack Servers running Cisco UCS Software 8.0(x) series. Released on April 25, 2025, it integrates validated drivers for 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors and NVIDIA ConnectX-7 NICs, certified for NIST SP 800-193 compliance. The image supports bare-metal recovery scenarios including RAID controller firmware corruption, boot sector errors, and OS kernel panics.

Designed for multi-vendor storage environments, the ISO includes pre-configured drivers for NetApp FAS9000 and Pure Storage FlashArray//X R3 integrations. It particularly benefits organizations requiring automated recovery of hybrid UCS domains managed through Cisco Intersight.
