}Refer to the exhibit. A UCS domain shows a 'Major' NVRAM backup failure alarm in Intersight. What is the best immediate action?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between a configuration backup failure and a hardware or connectivity failure, leading candidates to choose disruptive actions like rebooting or factory resetting when a simple manual backup retry is the correct first step.
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
✓
Attempt a manual NVRAM configuration backup from the primary Fabric Interconnect to the secondary.
A 'Major' NVRAM backup failure alarm in Intersight indicates that the automatic periodic backup of the UCS domain's configuration from the primary Fabric Interconnect (FI) to the secondary FI has failed. The best immediate action is to attempt a manual NVRAM configuration backup from the primary FI to the secondary, as this directly addresses the backup failure without disrupting domain operations or requiring re-registration.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Attempt a manual NVRAM configuration backup from the primary Fabric Interconnect to the secondary.
Why this is correct
Manual backup can jumpstart the failed backup process and clear the alarm.
- ✗
Perform a factory reset on both Fabric Interconnects.
Why it's wrong here
Factory reset would erase all configurations and cause outage.
- ✗
Reboot the primary Fabric Interconnect.
Why it's wrong here
Rebooting may clear the alarm temporarily but does not address the backup mechanism.
- ✗
Reclaim the UCS domain from Intersight and register again.
Why it's wrong here
Reclaiming would remove management and cause full rediscovery.
