I have installed VMware ESXi on my Cisco UCS Server but after that I am not getting CIMC.

I have installed VMware ESXi on my Cisco UCS Server but after that I am not getting CIMC. also I am unable to ping the IP address of CIMC. Any help?

I think CIMC doesn't have anything with your ESXi installation...it's OoB management for UCS servers.

Check your CIMC config inside BIOS again.

Hi Faheem ,

Did you change the NIC mode?

Are you using the same port for ESXi connection?

[Faheem Ansari]

I am using same port for ESXi also didn't change NIC mode.

Hi Faheem,

is it a rack mount or a blade server?

If its a blade server, CIMC is reachable via UCSM. You have to set an IP adress range for server management, which has to be in the same vlan as fabric interconnect / UCSM.
