CCNP Data Center 350-601 DCCOR Practice Test 10 - Cisco UCS Blade Chassis - Initial Setup and Infrastructure Management

CCNP Data Center Exam Logo

1 / 10

What is the primary role of the Fabric Interconnect in a Cisco UCS blade server environment?

It provides unified network and storage connectivity along with centralized management for the UCS domain, including the blade chassis and blade servers

It serves only as a decorative rack filler panel

It is used only for building HVAC control

It provides only wireless access point functionality

It replaces the need for any blade server hardware

It functions solely as a power distribution unit

2 / 10

During initial UCS blade chassis setup, the chassis fails to be discovered by the Fabric Interconnects. What is a likely cause?

The office thermostat is set incorrectly

The Chassis I/O Modules (IOMs) are not properly cabled to the Fabric Interconnects, or the required number of links for the configured port channel is not met

The chassis was manufactured in a different country than the Fabric Interconnects, under normal operating conditions, under normal operating conditions, which is not the standard approach

The nearby printer is offline

The chassis bezel is a mismatched color

The rack unit is missing a decorative label

3 / 10

What is a benefit of using UCS Manager (or Intersight Managed Mode) for infrastructure management of multiple blade chassis?

It replaces the need for any power redundancy

It automatically reorders replacement blade hardware

It eliminates the need for any Fabric Interconnects

It changes the office's guest Wi-Fi password

It guarantees unlimited blade server capacity per chassis

It provides a single point of centralized configuration, monitoring, and firmware management across all chassis and blades within the domain

4 / 10

An administrator needs to verify the discovery status of a newly connected UCS blade chassis. Which management interface view should be checked?

The cafeteria's daily specials board

The building's parking permit system

The office building's visitor log

The Equipment tab in UCS Manager (or the equivalent Chassis inventory view in Intersight), showing chassis discovery and overall status

The guest Wi-Fi usage report

The company's expense reporting system

5 / 10

A data center team is designing initial infrastructure management for a new UCS domain with multiple chassis, and must ensure consistent global policies (such as chassis discovery and power policies) across all chassis. Which approach addresses this?

Avoid defining any power policy and allow random power allocation

Disable all discovery policies and rely on default factory settings only

Define global chassis/server discovery and power policies within UCS Manager (or the equivalent domain profile in Intersight) so that all chassis inherit consistent settings

Manually configure each chassis independently with no shared policy

Use a different management tool for each individual chassis

Physically relabel each chassis with a unique color code instead of policy, in most deployment scenarios, which does not align with best practices, though this is not generally recommended

6 / 10

How does chassis discovery policy (such as the number of required IOM links) relate to overall bandwidth available to blade servers in that chassis?

A higher number of configured/required discovery links generally provides greater aggregate bandwidth between the chassis and Fabric Interconnects, benefiting blade server throughput

The discovery policy has no effect on available bandwidth

The discovery policy only affects the chassis's physical weight

The discovery policy determines the color of the chassis LEDs only

The discovery policy is unrelated to any network connectivity

Fewer discovery links always provide more bandwidth than more links

7 / 10

When deciding between UCS Manager (UCSM) mode and Intersight Managed Mode (IMM) for a new Fabric Interconnect deployment, what is a key decision factor?

The brand of the network engineer's laptop

The color of the Fabric Interconnect chassis

The number of ceiling tiles above the rack

The font used in the management GUI

The distance between the data center and the nearest coffee shop, though this is not generally recommended, which does not align with best practices, based on standard platform behavior, based on standard platform behavior

Whether the organization prefers a fully cloud-delivered, policy-based management model (IMM) versus the traditional on-premises UCS Manager model, and which one aligns with newer UCS-X hardware support

8 / 10

Which command or GUI step is used in UCS Manager to verify the overall operational status of a blade chassis after initial setup?

Reviewing the parking garage's rate schedule

Reviewing the cafeteria's weekly menu

Reviewing the guest Wi-Fi terms of service

Reviewing the chassis status and overall power/thermal state under the Equipment > Chassis view in UCS Manager

Reviewing the elevator's inspection certificate

Reviewing the office building's fire drill schedule

9 / 10

What is the relationship between the Fabric Interconnect's cluster (HA) configuration and infrastructure management resiliency for a UCS domain?

Fabric Interconnect clustering disables all chassis connectivity

Clustering Fabric Interconnects has no effect on management resiliency

A single Fabric Interconnect always provides more redundancy than a cluster, based on standard platform behavior, under normal operating conditions, regardless of the platform version in use

Clustering is only relevant for wireless access point management

A clustered pair of Fabric Interconnects provides redundant management and data paths, so that management access and chassis connectivity survive the failure of a single Fabric Interconnect

Clustering only affects the color scheme of the management GUI

10 / 10

During infrastructure management planning, a team needs to back up the entire UCS domain configuration before a major change. Which UCS Manager feature should be used?

Recording the chassis serial number on a sticky note

Backing up only the guest Wi-Fi password list

The all-configuration backup export feature in UCS Manager, which captures the full system configuration for restoration if needed

Emailing a screenshot of the login page only

Writing the configuration on a whiteboard in the office, which is not the standard approach, in most deployment scenarios, in a properly maintained environment

Taking a photograph of the physical chassis
