这里是一个我最喜欢的1.4的新功能包括：Cisco UCS固件1 Cisco UCS固件1.4
SAN Port Channeling:
This allows you to bundle all of the FCconnections on a 6120 so that there is 1 logical uplink to thenorthbound FC switch. Port channels provide faster convergence whenthere is link failure because a server vHBA doesn’t have to getre-pinned to another uplink.
Maintenance Policies:
Remember when making a change on aService Profile rebooted the server without asking? Or even worse making a change on an updating Service Profile template caused all of theService Profiles bound to that template to reboot?
Well Maintenance Policies prevent these unplanned reboots by forcingthe user to acknowledge the reboot or you can even schedule it to happen after hours.
Policy Usage Reporting:
Ever wondered what Service Profiles andService Profile templates were using one of the many UCS policies? Wellwonder no more there is now a Show Policy Usage report on every policyin UCSM. I wish there was a similar feature for templates, I am guessing that will be included in a future update.
Enhanced Active Directory Support:
You no longer have to extend the Active Directory schema and you can map UCS roles to Active Directory groups.
Multiple Authentication Sources:
Pre-1.4 you could only have oneauthentication source at a time. Now you can create authenticationdomains and have the option to login to all of them.
Local File System Download Option:
A remote SCP, SFTP server is no longer required for downloading new firmware or saving backups.
There are lots of other new features in 1.4 that I didn’t mention here, these were just some of my favorites.
