Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID) — Question 75

An engineer designs a Cisco UCS solution that must provide guaranteed and deterministic bandwidth to a specific server in the environment. The solution must apply to network and storage traffic of C-Series and B-Series servers.

Which solution should be included to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Pin the vNICs and the vHBAs of the service profile to dedicated uplink ports.
• B. Pin the IOM ports of the service profile to dedicated server ports.
• C. Pin the server ports of the service profile to dedicated uplink ports.
• D. Pin the vNICs and vHBAs of the service profile to dedicated server ports.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because pinning the vNICs and vHBAs to dedicated uplink ports ensures that the server has a guaranteed bandwidth allocation for both network and storage traffic. Options B, C, and D do not address the requirement for dedicated bandwidth to the specific server as effectively as option A does.
