When upgrading to a newer version of the Management Pack, we recommend the following tasks:

  • Delete Existing UCS Dashboards
  • Delete Existing UCS Objects

Delete Existing UCS Dashboards

Dashboards were renamed in the latest release of the Management Pack. If you do not delete dashboards from a previous version of the Management Pack before upgrading, both the old and new dashboards will appear in the Dashboard List drop-down menu after installation.

Note: If you have customized any dashboards from a previous release, you may choose to clone and re-name them, instead of deleting and replacing, to retain your customizations.

To delete existing dashboards:

  1. Navigate to Content > Dashboards.
  2. Multi-select the existing UCS dashboards.

  3. Click Delete Dashboard delete-icon.
  4. Click Yes when the confirmation dialog box appears to delete the dashboards.

To delete existing objects:

  1. Click the Administration administration_icon icon, then select Inventory Explorer inventory-explorer-icon.
  2. Expand Object Types to view the full list of Cisco UCS objects.
  3. Select object(s) from the list, then click the Delete delete-icon icon.
  4. Click Yes when the confirmation dialog appears to delete the objects.
