350-601 Compute Practice Question
An organization is deploying Cisco UCS and needs to ensure that server personality is maintained even after a new server is added to the chassis. Which policy should be configured to achieve this?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between policies that manage identity (UUID Suffix Pool) versus policies that manage assignment (Server Pool Policy), leading candidates to confuse the UUID pool as the mechanism for maintaining personality when it is actually the server pool that drives the assignment and inheritance.
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
✓
Server Pool Policy
The Server Pool Policy is correct because it defines a logical grouping of servers that can be dynamically assigned to service profiles. When a new server is added to the chassis and matches the pool criteria, the policy ensures that the server automatically inherits the correct personality (e.g., UUID, WWN, MAC addresses) from the associated service profile template, maintaining consistency without manual intervention.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
UUID Suffix Pool
Why it's wrong here
UUID pools provide UUIDs but do not enforce server stickiness.
- ✗
Maintenance Policy
Why it's wrong here
Maintenance policy handles firmware updates, not server assignment.
- ✗
Boot Policy
Why it's wrong here
Boot policy controls boot order, not server identity.
- ✓
Server Pool Policy
Why this is correct
Server pool allows assigning a specific server to a profile, maintaining identity.
