350-601 Compute Practice Question
A network engineer is configuring a UCS service profile for a new blade server. The requirement is that if the blade fails, it can be replaced with any blade of the same model without reconfiguration. Which UCS feature enables this capability?
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
✓
Stateless computing
Stateless computing in UCS abstracts the hardware identity and configuration via service profiles, allowing a replacement blade to inherit the same configuration without manual 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.
- ✗
VLAN configuration
Why it's wrong here
VLAN configuration is part of the network policy but not the primary feature for stateless replacement.
- ✓
Stateless computing
Why this is correct
Stateless computing decouples the server identity from the hardware, enabling swap without reconfiguration.
- ✗
RAID configuration
Why it's wrong here
RAID configuration is local to the server and does not enable boot from SAN.
- ✗
Firmware management policies
Why it's wrong here
Firmware policies manage firmware versions but do not provide stateless replacement.
