Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Disable the CIMC interface and use only UCS Manager.
Why it's wrong here
CIMC remains active but under UCS Manager control.
- ✓
Change the CIMC management mode from standalone to UCS-managed.
Why this is correct
The CIMC mode must be switched to allow UCS Manager to manage it.
- ✗
Update the CIMC firmware to the latest version.
Why it's wrong here
Firmware version is not the primary requirement; mode change is needed.
- ✗
Install a Cisco VIC adapter in the server.
Why it's wrong here
The server likely already has a VIC; this is not required for integration.
