Designing the FlexPod Solution

Which four items are necessary to create a Gold Master Boot LUN that automates Hyper-V host provisioning by using NetApp storage’s built-in LUN-cloning capabilities?

Choose four
  • A Create additional virtual fibre channel (vfc) interfaces for the Nexus 5500
  • B Creation of a LUN for the Gold Master Boot LUN
  • C Configuration of the Server OS and hotfix installation
  • D Create a new interface group on the NetApp Cluster
  • E SysPrep of the server operating system
  • F Creation of a service profile and zoning for Gold Master Boot LUN
Explanation

A reusable boot-LUN image requires the boot LUN itself, a configured and patched server operating system, and Sysprep generalization so each cloned host can complete its own identity-specific setup. In a Fibre Channel boot-from-SAN design, a Cisco UCS service profile and SAN zoning are required to present and boot from that LUN. NetApp documents that boot LUNs with OS images can be cloned and attached rapidly, while Cisco documents boot-LUN creation and mapping for UCS servers.
