Overview
The Cisco UCS Server Configuration Utility (SCU) is an application that helps you manage various tasks
on your server. The utility helps you easily set up and manage your servers from a single application.
UCS-SCU reduces the complexity and time associated with setting up and maintaining Cisco C-Series
servers. Server deployment is made easier. It guides you through questions to help quickly configure the
server through automatic recognition of server hardware, with minimal reboots and an automated
unattended operating system installation.
Using the SCU, you can perform the following tasks:
• Upgrade, troubleshoot, and configure the UCS C-Series server
• View server inventory
• Configure RAID volumes on attached hard drives
• Install an operating system
• View server health and logs
Note Cisco UCS SCU does not support Internationalization.
