350-601 Compute Practice Question
A network engineer is configuring a UCS service profile for a B-series blade server that will boot from SAN. Which WWPN assignment method should be used to ensure the boot LUN remains accessible if the blade is replaced with another blade of the same type?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Assign a dynamic WWPN from a WWPN pool
Stateless computing in UCS relies on persistent WWPNs assigned from a WWPN pool, so when a blade is replaced, the new blade inherits the same WWPNs and can access the same storage LUNs without reconfiguration.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Assign a dynamic WWPN from a WWPN pool
Why this is correct
WWPNs from a pool are persistent and not tied to the physical hardware; the service profile retains the same WWPNs even if the blade is replaced.
- ✗
Set WWPN to the blade's serial number
Why it's wrong here
The serial number is unique per blade; replacing the blade would change the WWPN.
- ✗
Use the WWPN of the Fabric Interconnect port
Why it's wrong here
Fabric Interconnect port WWPNs are for the fabric, not for the server's HBA.
- ✗
Use the built-in WWPN of the mezzanine card
Why it's wrong here
Built-in WWPNs are tied to the hardware; replacing the blade would change the WWPN, breaking SAN access.
