NetApp Certified Hybrid Cloud Administrator (NCHCA) — Question 33

A customer wants to replace their Cisco UCS 6248UP with the current Cisco UCS 6454. They are currently using six 16 Gbit uplinks per Fabric Interconnect for FC and do not want to change the speed and number of ports used.
In this scenario, what is the minimum number of unified ports that must be configured for FC for a comparable configuration?

Answer options

• A. 8
• B. 6
• C. 16
• D. 12

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as the Cisco UCS 6454 requires a minimum of 8 unified ports to support the same configuration of 6 uplinks at 16 Gbit each. Options B, C, and D do not meet the requirement for maintaining the necessary bandwidth and port count, as they either provide insufficient ports or exceed what's necessary.
