Perfect for enthusiasts and lab use. I've used this extensively for learning and various certification practice labs (Kubernetes, Terraform, etc, etc). I'ts time for me to start getting rid of equipment from my home lab, since I now have access to plenty of equipment at work.

I do want to point out some important information here that you should be aware of:
1) UCS C210 M2 is no longer supported by Cisco.The latest firmware upgrade (HUU) is 1.4.3z09. I've upgraded the UCS to this version. This firmware does not support HTML5 when pointing your browser to the IMC IP. The implication of this is that you would have to:
a) ssh in to the IMC IP and use cli (as shown above) to manage / configure stuff on the base UCS system.
b) KVM is no issue. For KVM do the below:1) install java jre7 on desktop2). copy the jnlp code and modify. copy the code from here: could also use an old browser with flash support and that will allow you to browse to the CIMC IP directly.
Having said that, this is perfect for lab use !
