350-601 Compute Practice Question
Which Cisco UCS feature allows a failed blade server to be replaced with a new one without any reconfiguration, because all identity and configuration information is abstracted?
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
✓
Service profile
Stateless computing via service profiles abstracts the blade's identity (MAC, WWPN, UUID) so that replacing the hardware does not require reconfiguration.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Firmware auto-sync
Why it's wrong here
Auto-sync updates firmware, not server identity.
- ✓
Service profile
Why this is correct
Service profiles provide stateless abstraction.
- ✗
Fabric failover
Why it's wrong here
Fabric failover provides network redundancy.
- ✗
Dynamic vNIC connection policy
Why it's wrong here
This policy defines vNIC connections but does not abstract server identity.
