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
✓
Define a SAN boot policy and assign it to the service profile with the boot order set to SAN.
Boot from SAN is configured in the service profile by specifying a SAN boot policy that defines the WWPN, LUN ID, and target details. This enables stateless boot from a SAN-attached LUN.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Enable PXE boot in the service profile.
Why it's wrong here
PXE is for network boot, not SAN boot.
- ✓
Define a SAN boot policy and assign it to the service profile with the boot order set to SAN.
Why this is correct
Correct. This enables boot from SAN.
- ✗
Configure local disk as RAID and use it for boot.
Why it's wrong here
This uses local disk, not SAN.
- ✗
Set the boot order to local disk first, then SAN.
Why it's wrong here
This would attempt local boot first, not SAN-only.
