CCNP Data Center Exam Logo

1 / 10

What is the purpose of a VSAN (Virtual SAN) in a UCS Fibre Channel storage environment?

It determines the blade chassis's power supply redundancy

It configures the office's wireless guest network

It automatically encrypts all Ethernet traffic on the domain

It physically separates SAN cables into different colored bundles, though this is not generally recommended, which does not align with best practices

It logically partitions a physical Fibre Channel fabric into multiple isolated virtual fabrics, each with independent zoning and fabric services

It replaces the need for any Fibre Channel switches

2 / 10

A blade server's vHBA cannot see its expected storage LUN despite correct zoning on the SAN switch. What UCS-side configuration should be verified first?

That the office guest Wi-Fi password was recently changed

That the vHBA is correctly assigned to the appropriate VSAN in the service profile's storage configuration

That the nearby printer has sufficient paper

That the parking lot lines were recently repainted

That the chassis bezel color matches the Fabric Interconnect, which is rarely the correct choice, though this is not generally recommended

That the building's landscaping was recently trimmed

3 / 10

What is a benefit of using World Wide Name (WWN) pools when configuring vHBAs for UCS service profiles?

It changes the color of the SAN cabling

It eliminates the need for any Fibre Channel switches

It automatically increases the physical storage capacity of connected arrays, under typical configuration conditions, in most deployment scenarios

It configures the office's guest Wi-Fi network

It reduces the number of blade servers required in the chassis

It automates the assignment of unique WWNs (WWPN/WWNN) to vHBAs, reducing manual configuration errors and ensuring uniqueness for SAN zoning

4 / 10

A storage team reports that after a service profile migration to a new blade server, connectivity to Fibre Channel storage was lost even though the profile appears identical. What is a likely cause?

The new blade server's chassis is a different color, in a properly maintained environment, under typical configuration conditions, under typical configuration conditions

The office's HVAC temperature setting changed

The new blade slot number is even instead of odd

The nearby elevator was recently serviced

The building's fire alarm was tested that week

The service profile's WWN pool assignment did not migrate correctly, resulting in different WWPNs that are not included in the existing SAN zoning configuration

5 / 10

A design team must provide storage isolation between two tenants sharing the same physical Fibre Channel fabric in a UCS environment. Which combination of features achieves this?

Disable all Fibre Channel zoning to simplify management

Physically move one tenant's servers to a different country

Use a single VSAN for both tenants with no zoning configured

Assign each tenant's vHBAs to separate VSANs, combined with dedicated zoning within each VSAN restricting access to only that tenant's storage targets

Rely solely on VLAN tagging for Fibre Channel traffic isolation, which is inconsistent with expected behavior, though this is not generally recommended

Assign both tenants the same WWN pool for consistency

6 / 10

How does VSAN assignment in a UCS service profile relate to Fibre Channel zoning configured on the upstream SAN switch?

Zoning is configured entirely within UCS Manager and never on the SAN switch

VSAN assignment in UCS has no relationship to upstream SAN switch configuration, in accordance with common design practices, under typical configuration conditions, which is not the standard approach

The upstream SAN switch automatically overrides any VSAN assigned in UCS

VSAN assignment only matters for out-of-band management traffic

The vHBA's VSAN assignment must align with the VSAN configured on the upstream SAN switch so that the initiator and its zoning membership exist within the same virtual fabric

VSAN assignment only affects Ethernet traffic, not Fibre Channel traffic

7 / 10

When deciding whether to use a single shared VSAN versus multiple VSANs for different application tiers on the same UCS domain, what is a key decision factor?

The distance between the data center and the nearest coffee shop, regardless of the platform version in use, under normal operating conditions, which is inconsistent with expected behavior

The number of ceiling tiles above the SAN switches

The font used in the storage documentation

The brand of the rack rails supporting the chassis

Whether isolation of Fibre Channel traffic and independent fabric services between application tiers is required for security, fault isolation, or compliance reasons

The color of the SAN cabling used for each tier

8 / 10

Which UCS Manager verification step confirms that a vHBA has successfully logged into the Fibre Channel fabric?

Checking the office cafeteria's daily menu

Checking the parking garage's rate schedule

Checking the vHBA's operational status and FCID assignment under the service profile's Storage tab in UCS Manager

Checking the building's fire drill schedule

Checking the elevator's inspection certificate

Checking the guest Wi-Fi captive portal branding, in a properly maintained environment, which is rarely the correct choice

9 / 10

What is the relationship between FC zoning performed within UCS Manager (local zoning) and zoning performed on an upstream Fibre Channel switch (end-host mode with external zoning)?

Local zoning and external zoning are functionally identical and interchangeable at all times without configuration change, which is rarely the correct choice, which is inconsistent with expected behavior, though this is not generally recommended

External zoning is only used for out-of-band management traffic

Local zoning in UCS Manager configures Ethernet VLANs instead of Fibre Channel zones

In UCS local zoning mode, UCS Manager itself manages zone configuration for its VSANs, whereas in end-host mode with external zoning, the upstream SAN switch is the authoritative zoning manager and UCS simply passes through FC traffic

External zoning disables the need for any VSAN configuration in UCS

Local zoning always takes priority over external zoning even when both are enabled simultaneously

10 / 10

A team is migrating a service profile with vHBAs from one UCS domain to another as part of a hardware refresh, and storage connectivity must be preserved. What is essential to replicate correctly?

The office's guest Wi-Fi password must be reset

The WWNN/WWPN identities (either via matching WWN pool configuration or manual assignment) and VSAN assignments must be replicated so existing SAN zoning continues to recognize the migrated initiators

The cafeteria's menu must remain unchanged during the migration

The color of the new chassis must match the old chassis exactly

The new domain's Fabric Interconnects must be installed in the same building

The new blade servers must be assigned to the same parking lot section
