350-601 Compute Practice Question
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?
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
✓
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 analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The WWPN must be re-imported from the SAN fabric
Why it's wrong here
The SAN fabric uses the WWPN from the service profile; no import needed.
- ✓
The WWPN is automatically applied from the service profile to the new blade
Why this is correct
Correct. The service profile abstracts the WWPN, so the new blade inherits it.
- ✗
The WWPN is generated by the CIMC of the new blade
Why it's wrong here
CIMC does not generate WWPN; it is assigned by the service profile.
- ✗
The WWPN is lost and must be reconfigured manually on the new blade
Why it's wrong here
The service profile retains the WWPN and assigns it to the new blade.
