350-601 Compute Practice Question
Which feature in UCS Manager allows centralized management of firmware policies across multiple chassis without creating a separate policy for each chassis?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between a Firmware Policy (which defines the firmware version) and a Host Firmware Package (which is applied to a server within a service profile), causing candidates to confuse the scope of each object.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Firmware Policy
B is correct because a Firmware Policy in UCS Manager allows you to define a single firmware version and package that can be applied to multiple chassis or service profiles. This centralized approach eliminates the need to create a separate firmware policy for each chassis, as the policy is simply associated with the desired chassis or service profile templates.
