Which actions on a Cisco UCS Server can be performed under the Cisco IMC utilities? (Choose Four.)
- A . export tech support information to a remote host
- B . download a tech support file locally
- C . reboot the Cisco IMC
- D . recover a corrupt BIOS
- E . install firmware updates
During the installation of Windows 2008 64-bit operating system on a Cisco UCS server, the RAID controller is not found.
What is the cause of the problem?
- A . The Cisco IMC firmware needs to be updated.
- B . The LSI option ROM needs to be configured by pressing Ctrl-H during post.
- C . The LSI drivers are not bundled and need to be loaded by clicking the Load Driver option to point to the correct drivers.
- D . Windows 2008 64-bit operating system is not supported on Cisco UCS servers.
A local storage installation of ESX on a Cisco UCS C-Series server has failed due to local storage issues.
What is the cause of the problem?
- A . LSI drivers are not bundled with ESX.
- B . The hard drive has a 1-TB partition size.
- C . The server only has an onboard controller, while ESX requires an LSI RAID controller card.
- D . ESX is not supported on Cisco UCS C-series servers.
A customer is trying to boot an operating system installed on a Cisco UCS B-Series blade server after a RAID1 cluster migration. The RAID LUN remains in inactive state during and after the service profile association and the server does not boot.
What is the cause of this problem?
- A . RAID1 is not supported in cluster migration mode on a Cisco UCS B-Series blade server.
- B . The local disk configuration policy in the service profile on the server is configured with Any Configuration mode rather than RAID1.
- C . The server needs to be booted via SAN in cluster migration to support RAID1.
- D . The Cisco UCS B-Series blade server has older firmware that needs to be updated first.
A customer would like to create an Ethernet traffic monitoring session on a Cisco UCS server to troubleshoot network connectivity.
The customer has entered the following commands via CLI:
UCS-A# scope eth-traffic-mon
UCS-A /eth-traffic-mon # scope fabric a
UCS-A /eth-traffic-mon/fabric # create eth-mon-session EthMonitor33
UCS-A /eth-traffic-mon/fabric/eth-mon-session* # create dest-interface 2 12
UCS-A /eth-traffic-mon/fabric/eth-mon-session/dest-interface* # set speed 20gbps
UCS-A /eth-traffic-mon/fabric/eth-mon-session/dest-interface* # commit-buffer
UCS-A /eth-traffic-mon/fabric/eth-mon-session/dest-interface #
Which outcome will this command sequence produce?
- A . It will create an Ethernet traffic monitoring session to copy and forward traffic to the destination port at slot 2, port 12, will set the admin speed to 20 Gb/s, and will commit the transaction.
- B . It will create an Ethernet traffic monitoring session to copy and forward traffic to the destination port at slot 2, port 33, will set the admin speed to 20 Gb/s, and will commit the transaction.
- C . It will create an Ethernet traffic monitoring session to copy and forward traffic to the destination port at slot 33, port 12, will set the admin speed to 20 Gb/s, and will commit the transaction.
- D . It will create an Ethernet traffic monitoring session to copy and forward traffic to the destination port at slot 2, port 12, will set the admin speed to 10 Gb/s, and will commit the transaction.
A customer is configuring VSANs in a Cisco UCS domain. After configuring the VSANs 3840, 3841, and 3842 in FC end-host mode, the customer sees that these VSANs are not operational and that Cisco UCS Manager is raising faults.
What is the cause of this problem?
- A . VSANs 3840, 3841, and 3842 should be in the allowed list on the trunk to clear the fault.
- B . VSANs 3840 to 4079 cannot be used in Fibre Channel end-host mode in a Cisco UCS domain.
- C . The fabric interconnect needs to be configured in switching mode and the VSANs need to be allowed on the trunk.
- D . Use the UCS CLI to clear the fault on the VSAN trunk to forward the VSANs with faults.
What is the correct sequence to export tech support data from the Cisco IMC GUI interface?
- A . Admin tab > Utilities > Export Technical Support to TFTP
- B . Utilities tab > Utilities > Export Technical Support to TFTP
- C . Server tab > Utilities > Export Technical Support to TFTP
- D . Communications tab > Utilities > Export Technical Support to TFTP
- E . Support tab > Utilities > Export Technical Support to TFTP
- F . Help tab > Utilities > Export Technical Support to TFTP
You are attempting to install Microsoft Server 2008 R2 on a Fibre Channel LUN, but the installer does not see the LUN. You have used F6 to load the appropriate SCSI driver.
What should your first troubleshooting step be?
- A . Email the SAN administrator to validate that your LUN is defined.
- B . Check the configuration of the vHBA in the service profile.
- C . Validate that the boot order is correct.
- D . Validate zoning on the Fibre Channel switch.
- E . Validate that the Fibre Channel uplink from the fabric interconnect is up.
A customer calls in a trouble ticket and explains that after a power failure, the UPS was discovered to be defective and the Cisco UCS C210 M2 server running Windows 2008 R2 went down without proper shutdown. After restarting the server, you discover the RAID 5 array rebuilding parity.
Which write-cache settings on the LSI MegaRAID 9260-4i controller explain this symptom?
- A . write back
- B . write through
- C . write back with BBU
- D . no write cache
- E . no hot spare
How long are the LED states saved after a blade is removed from a Cisco UCS chassis?
- A . 1 minute
- B . 5 minutes
- C . 10 minutes
- D . 30 minutes
