350-601 Compute Practice Question
A UCS administrator must ensure that a service profile can be updated without disrupting production traffic. Which two configuration options support this requirement? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between 'Disruptive Update' and non-disruptive maintenance policies, and the trap here is that candidates confuse 'Upgrade Policy' (a non-existent term) with 'Maintenance Policy', or assume 'Immediate' is acceptable because it is fast, ignoring the disruption requirement.
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
✓
Maintenance policy with 'User Ack' and 'Enable Fast Reboot'
A maintenance policy with 'User Ack' requires manual acknowledgment before the update proceeds, and enabling 'Fast Reboot' minimizes traffic disruption by reducing the reboot time. Option E is correct because a maintenance policy with 'On Next Boot' defers the update until the next scheduled reboot, allowing the administrator to control when the change takes effect and avoid impacting production traffic.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Use of a service profile template with 'Disruptive Update'
Why it's wrong here
Disruptive update implies service interruption, opposite of requirement.
- ✗
Maintenance policy with 'Immediate'
Why it's wrong here
Immediate application may disrupt traffic without warning.
- ✗
Use of a service profile template with 'Upgrade Policy'
Why it's wrong here
Upgrade Policy is not a standard term; templates don't directly control disruption.
- ✓
Maintenance policy with 'User Ack' and 'Enable Fast Reboot'
Why this is correct
User acknowledgment provides manual control; fast reboot minimizes downtime.
- ✓
Maintenance policy with 'On Next Boot'
Why this is correct
Defers changes until the next server reboot, allowing planned downtime.
