350-601 Compute Practice Question
Exhibit
Refer to the exhibit. UCS-A /org # show service-profile Name Assoc-State Oper-SrcTempl -------------- -------------- -------------- SP1 associated template-A SP2 unassigned template-B SP3 associated template-A SP4 associated template-C UCS-A /org # show service-profile template Name Type Oper-State --------------- --------- ----------- template-A initial enabled template-B updating enabled template-C initial enabled
Refer to the exhibit. An administrator updates template-B but its associated profile SP2 shows 'unassigned'. The administrator wants SP2 to reflect the changes. What should be done first?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between 'updating templates' and 'initial templates', where candidates mistakenly assume that simply enabling or refreshing a template will automatically update associated profiles, overlooking the explicit bind requirement.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Associate SP2 with template-B using the 'bind' operation
In Cisco UCS Manager, a service profile (SP2) must be explicitly bound to a template (template-B) to inherit updates. The 'bind' operation associates the profile with the template, allowing changes made to the template to propagate to the profile. Simply disabling and re-enabling the template or waiting for automatic association does not establish this binding; the profile remains 'unassigned' until it is bound.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Disable and re-enable template-B
Why it's wrong here
Disabling does not associate profiles.
- ✗
Wait for the automatic association to occur
Why it's wrong here
Automatic association does not happen.
- ✓
Associate SP2 with template-B using the 'bind' operation
Why this is correct
Binding creates the link between profile and template.
- ✗
Rebind all profiles to template-B
Why it's wrong here
Only unassociated profiles need binding.
