QuestionQ328

Storage Network

An engineer must connect a Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect (FI) to an external storage array. Because of budget constraints, the engineer must directly connect a Cisco UCS FI to an FC storage port. Which two actions are required to complete this connection?

Choose two
  • A Create a storage connection policy.
  • B Configure the fabric interconnect in end-host mode.
  • C Create the required VSAN in the SAN cloud.
  • D Set FC zoning to disabled when creating the VSAN.
  • E Configure the fabric interconnect in FC switch mode.
Explanation

Cisco UCS direct-attached storage requires the Fabric Interconnect to be configured in Fibre Channel switch mode, which permits a direct connection to a storage device. It also requires creation of the applicable VSAN in the Storage Cloud for the direct-attached storage connection.
