350-601 practice question 13 of 25

An engineer m9ust configure SAN connectivity in Cisco UCS manager. The requirement is to specify the WWPN of the storage array and set the zoning type to single initiator multiple targets. The engineer must also configure interrupt handling and queues of the vHBA interface. Which two Cisco UCS policies should be used to configure the settings? (Choose two.)

Answer options
A: SAN connectivity policy
B: boot policy
C: Fibre Channel adapter policy Correct answer
D: storage connection policy Correct answer
E: vHBA policy
Correct Answer:
C. Fibre Channel adapter policy; D. storage connection policy
Explanation

To meet the requirements, two distinct policies are needed. The Storage Connection Policy is used to define the relationship between servers and a storage array. It specifies initiator groups (vHBAs) and target groups (storage array ports, identified by their WWPNs) and sets the zoning type, such as "single initiator multiple targets." The Fibre Channel Adapter Policy is used to configure the operational parameters of the vHBA itself, including interrupt handling settings, I/O threads, and queue depths for data transmission and reception.

Why Incorrect

Option A: The SAN connectivity policy defines the WWNN pool for the vHBA but does not specify storage array targets or detailed vHBA operational parameters like queues.
Option B: The boot policy defines the order in which a server attempts to boot from various sources (SAN, LAN, local disk) and is not used for these specific SAN settings.
Option E: A vHBA policy is not a standard, distinct policy type in Cisco UCS Manager for these configurations; vHBA settings are controlled by other policies like the Fibre Channel Adapter Policy.
