Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) — Question 498

Which two actions should be performed before upgrading the infrastructure and firmware of multiple UCS blades? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Get Full State and All Configuration backup files before beginning the upgrade.
• B. Verify if the bootflash on the fabric interconnects in the Cisco UCS has at least 10% available space.
• C. Verify if the bootflash on the fabric interconnects in the Cisco UCS has at least 15% available space.
• D. Enable Smart Call Home feature during the firmware upgrade process.
• E. Run the Check Conformance feature to verify that all your components are running the compatible firmware version after the upgrade.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

Option A is correct because taking Full State and Configuration backups is essential to ensure recovery if the upgrade fails. Option C is also correct as it ensures that there is sufficient space on the bootflash, which is crucial for a successful upgrade. Options B and D are incorrect because they specify incorrect space requirements and unnecessary features, while option E is about post-upgrade checks rather than pre-upgrade actions.
