350-601 Compute Practice Question
An administrator needs to replace a faulty blade server in a UCS chassis. The blade is associated with a service profile that has a persistent WWPN pool. What is the correct procedure to maintain stateless computing?
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
✓
Remove the faulty blade, insert the new blade, and auto-associate the service profile
UCS stateless computing allows a blade replacement without reconfiguration by simply disassociating the service profile from the faulty blade, removing the blade, inserting the new blade, and re-associating the same service profile. The WWPNs from the pool are retained.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Remove the faulty blade, insert the new blade, and auto-associate the service profile
Why this is correct
The service profile will be automatically associated if the blade is discovered, or the administrator can manually associate it. The WWPNs remain the same.
- ✗
Replace the blade and delete the old service profile to create a new one
Why it's wrong here
Unnecessary; the profile can be reused.
- ✗
Replace the blade and update the WWPN pool to match the new hardware
Why it's wrong here
The pool is dynamic and does not need updating.
- ✗
Replace the blade and manually reconfigure the service profile with new WWPNs
Why it's wrong here
Manual reconfiguration defeats statelessness.
