The Cisco UCS B200 M2 server has been awarded the status of Certified for Ubuntu.

Releases

Ubuntu 10.04.4 Server 64-bit

This system was tested with 10.04 LTS, running the 2.6.32-33.70 kernel.

Cisco VIC Ethernet: As of 10.04.3, the driver module 'enic' is not part of the installer kernel. Because of this, you will be unable to configure network devices during install and the installer may complain of no network devices found. You can complete installation manually and configure network devices after installation. At that point, the enic driver loads successfully at boot and networking functions as expected. This will most likely, however, have impact on attempts to preform network installations.

This system was tested with these key components:
