   A technician is troubleshooting a UCS blade that cannot boot from the SAN. The service profile is correctly configured with a boot policy that uses a WWPN to connect to a LUN on the storage array. The technician verifies that the storage array is reachable from the fabric interconnect. What is the most likely cause of the boot failure?

   • AThe chassis backplane is faulty.
   • BThe fabric interconnect is not running UCS Manager.
   • CThe blade does not have a VIC installed.
   • DThe WWPN in the service profile does not match the WWPN assigned to the vHBA.

   A data center is deploying a new UCS domain to host a mission-critical database. The design requires that the database servers have redundant paths to the storage network and the LAN. The technician is configuring the fabric interconnects. What is the primary function of the fabric interconnects in this UCS domain?

   • AThey provide the management plane for the UCS domain and also aggregate LAN and SAN traffic from the chassis.
   • BThey provide direct-attached storage for the database servers, eliminating the need for a separate SAN.
   • CThey are optional components that only provide power to the chassis and blades.
   • DThey act as the compute nodes that run the virtual machines for the database workload.

   A data center is consolidating its physical servers into a UCS environment. The goal is to reduce cabling and management overhead. Which UCS feature most directly supports this goal?

   • AThe use of individual management IPs for each server.
   • BThe use of multiple standalone switches in each rack.
   • CThe use of fabric extenders to aggregate blade traffic onto fewer cables.
   • DThe use of direct-attached storage for each server.
