A customer is designing a FlexPod Datacenter with Cisco UCS C-Series servers. They intend to manage the solution with Cisco UCS Manager. They want to cable the servers to the Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnects.
In this scenario, which three configurations are supported? (Choose three.)
Dual-wire Management (Shared LOM): Shared LAN on Motherboard (LOM) ports on the rack server are used exclusively for carrying management traffic. A separate cable connected to one of the ports on the PCIe card carries the data traffic. Using two separate cables for managing data traffic and management traffic is also referred to as dual-wire management.
SingleConnect (Sideband): Using Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI), the Cisco VIC card connects one cable that can carry both data traffic and management traffic. This feature is referred to as SingleConnect.
Direct Connect Mode: Cisco UCS Manager supports an option to connect the Cisco UCS C-Series Rack- Mount Server directly to the FIs. This option enables Cisco UCS Manager to manage the Cisco UCS C- Series Rack-Mount Servers using a single cable for both management traffic and data traffic. The Cisco UCS VIC connects to the FI of the system. This connection uses a single connection from each VIC to each FI.
A customer is using a FlexPod implementation that has 10 Gbps uplinks from the B-Series chassis to the fabric interconnect. The customer wants to upgrade the links to 40 Gbps.
In this scenario, which model of Cisco UCS server IOM is required?
The Cisco UCS 2204XP Fabric Extender (Figure 7) has four 10 Gigabit Ethernet, FCoE-capable, SFP+ ports that connect the blade chassis to the fabric interconnect.
Your customer wants assurances that all aspects of FlexPod are highly available.
Which statement is correct in this scenario?
The management and data plane of Cisco UCS is designed for high availability and redundant access layer fabric interconnects. In addition, Cisco UCS supports existing high availability and disaster recovery solutions for the data center, such as data replication and application-level clustering technologies.
A customer has several existing standalone Cisco UCS C-Series servers that they would like to repurpose and add to their FlexPod Datacenter solution.
Which action should the customer perform on these servers before using UCS Manager?
On rare occasions, such as an issue with the current running firmware, troubleshooting a server may require you to reset the CIMC to the factory default. When this happens, all user-configurable settings are reset. This procedure is not part of the normal server maintenance. After you reset the CIMC, you are logged off and must log in again. You may also lose connectivity and may need to reconfigure the network settings.
A FlexPod solution has been configured for iSCSI SAN boot with multiple paths between the server and the storage.
In this scenario, how many initiators (IQNs) per server will need to be added in the corresponding igroup in ONTAP?
The initator group REST API allows you to create, update, delete, and discover initiator groups, and add and remove initiators that can access the target and associated LUNs.
