A firmware update to the RAID controller on a rack server failed, and the server is now showing a 'foreign configuration' error on the virtual disks. The administrator has a backup of the previous firmware. What is the most appropriate recovery step?

Boot the server from a recovery CD and run a disk repair tool.

Replace the RAID controller with a new one and reconfigure the virtual disks from scratch.

Roll back the RAID controller firmware to the previous version and then import the foreign configuration.

Reinitialize the virtual disks to clear the foreign configuration error.

When updating firmware on blade servers in a chassis, what is the primary role of the chassis management controller (CMC) during the update process?

It automatically reboots each blade server immediately after the firmware image is transferred.

It replaces the need for a separate update tool for each blade's BIOS and NIC firmware.

It stages and applies the firmware image to each blade server's storage controller.

It provides out-of-band management and orchestrates the firmware update process across the blades in the chassis.

A company is planning to update the hypervisor on a cluster of blade servers. The cluster runs a mix of VMs, including some that are not clustered. The administrator wants to minimize downtime and ensure compatibility. What is the best approach?

Update all servers simultaneously to reduce the total maintenance time.

Update one server at a time, live-migrate VMs to other hosts, and validate the update before proceeding.

Skip the hypervisor update and only update the firmware on the blade servers.

Use a single maintenance window to update all servers, as the hypervisor update does not require a reboot.
