350-601 Compute Practice Question
An engineer is configuring a UCS service profile for a blade that will boot from local disk. The blade has two SAS drives configured as a RAID 1 mirror. Which policy is required to specify the local disk boot order?
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
✓
Boot policy
The boot policy in a service profile defines the boot order and boot devices. For local disk boot, the boot policy must list the local disk as the primary boot device.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
SCSI policy
Why it's wrong here
SCSI policy deals with SCSI features, not boot order.
- ✗
Disk policy
Why it's wrong here
There is no 'disk policy' in UCS; it is part of storage policy.
- ✗
Storage policy
Why it's wrong here
Storage policy defines disk group configuration, not boot order.
- ✓
Boot policy
Why this is correct
Boot policy specifies the boot order including local disk.
Quick reference
RAID Level Comparison
| RAID Level | Min Disks | Fault Tolerance | Read | Write | Usable Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RAID 0 | 2 | None | Excellent | Excellent | 100% |
| RAID 1 | 2 | 1 disk | Good | Moderate | 50% |
| RAID 5 | 3 | 1 disk | Good | Moderate | 67–94% |
| RAID 6 | 4 | 2 disks | Good | Lower | 50–88% |
| RAID 10 | 4 | 1 disk per mirror | Excellent | Good | 50% |
RAID is not a backup strategy — it protects against disk failure but not against accidental deletion, ransomware, or site-level events.
