Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) — Question 187

An engineer needs to connect Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect (FI) to an external storage array. Due to budget limitations, the engineer must connect a Cisco UCS FI directly to an FC storage port. Which two actions must be taken to complete this connection? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• 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.

Correct answer: A, E

Explanation

The correct answer includes A and E. A storage connection policy must be created to define how the UCS FI connects to the storage, while configuring the fabric interconnect in FC switch mode allows for proper FC connectivity. Options B and D are incorrect because end-host mode is not suitable for direct FC connections, and FC zoning should be managed according to the storage requirements, not disabled.
