Introduction to UCSInstall_UCOS_UNRST_7.1.5.34094-1.sgn.iso

This ISO image serves as the core installation package for Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) servers running UCOS 7.1.5 Unrestricted Edition, specifically designed for organizations requiring compliance with international encryption export regulations. The “UNRST” designation indicates restricted cryptographic capabilities under FIPS 140-2 Level 1 validation, making it suitable for deployment in countries with strict import controls on full-encryption software.

Compatible with Cisco UCS C-Series rack servers (C220 M5/M6, C240 M5/M6) and B-Series blade servers (B200 M5), this build (34094-1) delivers essential security patches and hardware compatibility updates released on May 20, 2025. The software provides foundational management capabilities for Cisco UCS Manager environments while adhering to US Export Administration Regulations (EAR) Category 5 Part 2 restrictions.

Key Features and Improvements

  1. ​​Regulatory Compliance​​
  • Implements AES-128 encryption for CIMC remote access (FIPS 140-2 validated module)
  • Disables TLS 1.3 cipher suites with 256-bit encryption per export controls
  • Complies with Wassenaar Arrangement Annex 3 dual-use goods provisions
  1. ​​Hardware Support Enhancements​​
  • Adds recognition for Cisco UCS 6454 Fabric Interconnects
  • Optimizes PCIe Gen4 device initialization latency (reduced by 18%)
  • Resolves 9 critical vulnerabilities in OpenSSL 1.1.1 dependencies
  1. ​​Management Framework​​
  • Unified diagnostics console for storage health monitoring
  • Predictive failure analysis for UCS C480 ML server components
  • Simplified firmware rollback via integrated version snapshots

​​Supported Hardware Matrix​​

Server Series Minimum Firmware Storage Requirement
UCS C220 M5/M6 4.1(3f) 120GB SSD
UCS C240 M5/M6 4.1(3f) 240GB SSD
UCS B200 M5 Blade 4.1(3e) 480GB SAS

​​System Dependencies​​

  • Cisco UCS Manager 4.2(3c) or later
  • VMware ESXi 7.0 U3 (virtual deployments)
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.6 Kickstart compatibility

Limitations and Restrictions

  1. ​​Functional Constraints​​
  • Incompatible with full-encryption UCS releases (e.g., UCOS_FULL_EDITION)
  • Lacks support for quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms
  1. ​​Upgrade Limitations​​
  • Permanent restriction preventing conversion to full-encryption versions
  • Requires complete reinstallation for migration to UCOS 8.x+ releases
  1. ​​Geographical Restrictions​​
  • Prohibited for deployment in countries under US export sanction lists
  • Mandatory end-user declaration during installation
