Why is validation an important step in the SmartFabric configuration workflow?

It updates the firmware on the IOMs

It installs the operating system on the compute sleds

It ensures the fabric configuration is consistent and error-free

It creates a backup of the chassis configuration

A financial services company is deploying an MX7000 chassis and has a strict requirement to separate storage traffic from general network traffic for security and performance reasons. They currently use Fibre Channel for storage and Ethernet for general traffic. They want to minimize the number of fabrics while meeting the separation requirement. What should the administrator do?

Use two separate SmartFabrics: one in Ethernet mode and one in FC mode

Use unified fabric mode and rely on QoS to prioritize storage traffic

Use Ethernet fabric mode and configure FCoE for storage

Use unified fabric mode and configure separate VLANs for storage and general traffic

An administrator is configuring a new MX7000 chassis with two IOMs and four compute sleds. The administrator has connected the IOMs to the upstream network and wants to create a SmartFabric that will automatically configure VLANs and link aggregation across the fabric. According to the SmartFabric configuration workflow, what should the administrator do first?

Install the SmartFabric Services software on the compute sleds

Create a SmartFabric from the OpenManage Enterprise Modular (OMEM) interface

Manually configure VLANs on each IOM

Assign IP addresses to each compute sled

Which tool can be used to monitor the health of the SmartFabric?
