350-601 Practice Test 15 — 15 Questions

Question 1

Which two features are provided by Cisco IMC on UCS C-series rack servers? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Virtual media mounting. CIMC provides out-of-band management including KVM console and virtual media for remote OS installation.

Answer

Fabric Interconnect management

Answer

Service profile creation

Answer

HyperFlex cluster management

Question 2

A UCS administrator needs to implement boot-from-SAN for a B-series blade. Which two components must be properly configured in the service profile? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

vHBA. Boot from SAN requires a vHBA for SAN connectivity and a boot policy that specifies the SAN target.

Answer

IPMI policy

Answer

SCSI policy

Answer

vNIC

Question 3

A UCS B-Series chassis has four IOM modules installed. The chassis is connected to two Fabric Interconnects. How many uplink connections are typically used from each IOM to the Fabric Interconnects to ensure full bandwidth redundancy?

Accepted Answer

Two uplinks per IOM to each FI. Each IOM has four uplink ports (two per fabric). To achieve full bandwidth and redundancy, typically all four uplinks are used (two to FI-A and two to FI-B).

Answer

One uplink from the chassis to each FI

Answer

Four uplinks per IOM to a single FI

Answer

One uplink per IOM to each FI

Question 4

An administrator needs to perform a remote firmware upgrade on a UCS C220 rack server. The server has CIMC configured with an IP address. Which method should the administrator use to upgrade the CIMC firmware?

Accepted Answer

Use the CIMC web interface to upload and apply the firmware image.. CIMC supports firmware upgrade via its web interface or CLI using protocols like HTTP, TFTP, or SCP. The recommended method is to use the CIMC GUI or the 'update firmware' command in CIMC.

Answer

Use the KVM console to boot from a firmware upgrade ISO.

Answer

Use UCS Manager to upgrade the firmware of the C-series server.

Answer

Use Cisco IMC Supervisor to upgrade firmware across multiple servers.

Question 5

Which three components are required for a basic Cisco UCS B-Series deployment? (Choose three.)

Accepted Answer

Blade Servers (B-Series). A basic UCS B-Series deployment includes Fabric Interconnects for network connectivity, a UCS 5108 chassis to house blades, and blade servers. UCS Manager is software that typically runs on the FIs.

Answer

UCS C-Series Rack Server

Answer

HyperFlex Cluster

Question 6

A UCS service profile includes a vHBA that is bound to a WWPN. The blade server fails and is replaced with a new blade of the same model. What happens to the WWPN configuration after the replacement?

Accepted Answer

The WWPN is automatically applied from the service profile to the new blade. Stateless computing ensures that the WWPN is inherited from the service profile, so the replacement blade uses the same WWPN.

Answer

The WWPN must be re-imported from the SAN fabric

Answer

The WWPN is generated by the CIMC of the new blade

Answer

The WWPN is lost and must be reconfigured manually on the new blade

Question 7

A UCS B-series blade server is experiencing boot issues. The service profile is configured to boot from local disk first, then SAN. The blade has local disks but they are not recognized. Which TWO actions should be taken to diagnose the issue?

Accepted Answer

Review the local disk configuration policy and RAID settings.. Possible causes: local disk not connected, or RAID configuration missing. Checking physical presence in CIMC and verifying RAID configuration are logical first steps.

Answer

Verify the boot policy in the service profile.

Answer

Re-associate the service profile.

Answer

Check the Fibre Channel fabric connectivity.

Question 8

In a Cisco UCS B-Series deployment, which component provides the physical connectivity between blade server mezzanine cards and the Fabric Interconnects?

Accepted Answer

I/O Module (IOM). The I/O Module (IOM) in the UCS 5108 chassis provides the connectivity between blade server mezzanine cards and the Fabric Interconnects via server ports.

Answer

UCS Manager

Answer

Fabric Extender (FEX)

Answer

Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC)

Question 9

In UCS service profile templates, when you update the template, how do the changes propagate to the service profiles derived from it?

Accepted Answer

Changes are automatically applied to all derived service profiles immediately.. When a service profile is created from a template, it can be set to update automatically when the template changes, or manually. The default behavior is that changes are propagated automatically unless the profile is set to manual update.

Answer

Changes are applied only if the service profile is not associated with a server.

Answer

Changes are applied only during server reboot.

Answer

Changes must be manually applied to each derived service profile.

Question 10

A service profile is configured to boot from local disk, but the blade server has no local storage. What will happen when the blade is associated with this service profile?

Accepted Answer

The blade will fail to boot and the operating system will not load.. UCS Manager does not validate hardware capabilities at association time. The blade will boot and fail to find a boot device, resulting in a boot failure. The service profile can still be associated.

Answer

The service profile will automatically change the boot policy to SAN.

Answer

The association will fail with an error message.

Answer

The blade will boot from SAN automatically as a fallback.

Question 11

A company is deploying a multi-site UCS environment with UCS Central. Which three capabilities does UCS Central provide over individual UCS Manager instances? (Choose three.)

Accepted Answer

Unified reporting and inventory across domains.. UCS Central offers global service profile templates, cross-domain policies, and centralized firmware management across multiple UCS domains.

Answer

Direct management of individual blade server power states.

Answer

Real-time performance monitoring of each server's CPU utilization.

Question 12

Which UCS B-Series chassis component provides the physical slot for a blade server?

Accepted Answer

Blade slot (bay). The UCS 5108 blade chassis has 8 half-width slots or 4 full-width slots. Blades are inserted into these slots and connect to the midplane.

Answer

IOM

Answer

Fabric Interconnect

Answer

Midplane

Question 13

An organization is deploying UCS Central to manage multiple UCS domains. Which THREE benefits does UCS Central provide over using individual UCS Managers?

Accepted Answer

Simplified firmware management across multiple domains.. UCS Central offers global policy management, centralized monitoring, and multi-domain firmware upgrades.

Answer

Automatic failover between Fabric Interconnects in different domains.

Answer

Direct management of blade chassis power supplies.

Question 14

When configuring a UCS service profile for a blade server that needs to boot from the local disk, which boot order setting is appropriate?

Accepted Answer

Set the boot order to local disk first, with no other boot devices.. To boot from local disk, the boot policy should list the local disk as the first boot device. Other devices can be secondary or disabled.

Answer

Enable PXE boot only.

Answer

Configure boot from CD/DVD as first device.

Answer

Set the boot order to SAN first, then local disk.

Question 15

A HyperFlex cluster is being designed with 4 nodes using RF2. Which three statements are true about the cluster's data availability and management? (Choose three.)

Accepted Answer

The cluster requires a witness VM for quorum in case of a node failure. With 4-node RF2, the cluster can tolerate one node failure. The witness VM provides quorum. A degraded cluster can still serve data until repaired.

Answer

All nodes must be all-flash storage

Answer

If two nodes fail simultaneously, all data remains accessible
