   A security audit reveals that the default self-signed SSL certificate on a compute sled's iDRAC is being flagged as a vulnerability. The administrator needs to replace it with a certificate signed by the organization's internal CA. The sled is currently managed through the CMC. Which approach should be used?

   • ADisable SSL on the iDRAC and use HTTP only.
   • BUpload the CA's root certificate to the iDRAC to replace the self-signed certificate.
   • CUse the CMC to generate and apply a certificate to all sled iDRACs.
   • DGenerate a certificate signing request (CSR) from the iDRAC, submit it to the CA, and import the signed certificate.

   A compute sled in an MX7000 chassis is experiencing intermittent iDRAC unresponsiveness. The administrator suspects a corrupted iDRAC firmware. The sled is running a non-critical batch job that can be interrupted. The administrator needs to restore iDRAC functionality and ensure the sled can be managed afterward. Which sequence of actions is most appropriate?

   • APower-cycle the sled to reset both the host and iDRAC.
   • BPerform a factory reset of the iDRAC, then reconfigure network settings and user accounts.
   • CReplace the sled's iDRAC hardware by swapping the mezzanine card.
   • DUpdate the iDRAC firmware to the latest version, then perform a standard iDRAC reset.

   A security administrator is configuring iDRAC access for a team of hardware engineers in an MX7000 environment. The requirement is that only the lead engineer can change iDRAC network settings, while other engineers can only view sensor data and power status. Which configuration should be applied?

   • ADisable all local iDRAC users and rely solely on the CMC's shared credentials.
   • BUse the CMC's global user list for all iDRAC access without individual roles.
   • CAssign all engineers the same iDRAC user role with administrator privileges.
   • DCreate separate iDRAC user accounts with role-based access control (RBAC) roles.

   An administrator is planning to update the iDRAC firmware on all compute sleds in an MX7000 chassis. The chassis is running a mix of production and test workloads. The administrator wants to minimize the risk of a failed update affecting production. Which approach should be taken?

   • ASkip the update on production sleds and only update test sleds.
   • BUpdate all sleds simultaneously to complete the process quickly.
   • CUpdate the test sleds first, verify success, then update production sleds one at a time.
   • DUpdate production sleds first to get them done, then update test sleds.
