If the installer fails to detect your RAID array:
A bootable ISO is specifically designed to start the installation process from scratch on a new physical server or a newly created virtual machine.
To confirm that the installation matches the software image payload exactly, log into the system CLI via SSH and run: show version active Use code with caution.
In this article, we have provided a step-by-step guide to creating a bootable UCS install ISO for UCOS UNRST 8.6.2.10000-14. By following these instructions, you can create a bootable ISO image that can be used to install or recover UCOS on a Cisco UCS server.
A USB flash drive with a minimum capacity of 8GB. The size may vary depending on the ISO file size, but 8GB is generally sufficient for most UCS installations.
Version 8.6.2 uses older certificate signing methods. Upgrading from this version to modern releases (such as 12.5 or 14/15) requires a multi-hop upgrade strategy, often involving a "bridge" version or a Prime Collaboration Deployment (PCD) migration server to transition the underlying OS architecture from legacy 32-bit platforms to modern 64-bit systems.
