CIMC-KVM

Description

cimc-kvm is a python tool to connect to old flash-based Cisco UCS CIMC (Cisco Integrated Management Controller) KVM console. Since Flash has been phased out this is the only way to connect.

Tested

CIMC side:

• Cisco UCS C220M3 CIMC firmware v3
• Should work on any M3 type servers with XML API

Client side:

• Windows Server 2019 with standard javaws
• May not work on MacOS BigSur due to java error (can't help it)

I could add some additional information later based on users input (if any)

Requirements

1. Python v3 and all required libraries (see script import lines) https://www.python.org/downloads/
2. Java https://www.java.com

Installation

1. Fulfil requirements
2. clone/download/copy-past script
3. run from terminal window (recommended)

Disclamier

1. This software provided as is and should be used on your own risk
2. I'm not a programmer and this is my first python code
3. Can't help. Especially beyond python side. Java is totally outside of the scope. Nope.
