Troubleshooting Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCIT) — Question 87

An engineer must configure Linux hosts that are deployed on Cisco UCS B-Series Servers to boot from SAN. The SAN boot policy is configured in Cisco UCS Manager, and the boot order is verified to be set as expected. However, the Linux hosts fail to boot. Which action resolves the issue?

Answer options

• A. Delete and reconfigure the boot LUN.
• B. Delete and reconfigure the pWWN of the SAN boot target.
• C. Remove all of the ISO images that are mounted as a virtual CD-ROM.
• D. Remove all of the local storage that is installed.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because local storage can interfere with the SAN boot process by causing the system to attempt to boot from the local disk instead of the SAN. Options A and B may not address the underlying issue, and option C is unnecessary if the local storage is the cause of the boot failure.
