In this chapter, we learned about the various options of installing UCSPE and learned about the methods to add, remove, and modify different hardware components. We also launched the UCS Manager software from UCSPE using a web browser and looked at the user interface. In subsequent chapters, we will use UCSM running on UCSPE to configure various settings, such as server profiles, resource pools, organizations, networking, and storage.
In the next chapter, we will get introduced to UCSM and learn about the GUI and the options that are available in the tabs and nodes under the two main screen panes, which are used for the configuration and management of UCS hardware and software components.
