QUESTION 2Which operational effect does the Cisco UCS "stateless server" deployment model bring to the customer?

A. The server administrator can combine the resources of multiple servers.B. It enables easier and faster repurposing of servers.C. Server deployment can be optimized from a power perspective.D. It requires more administrative work on first server deployment.

Correct Answer: BSection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:The stateless computing service allows existing software stacks to be migrated to any available discrete serverwithin the system by creating and deploying what is known as a service profile—exactly recreating the discretesystem from which the workload migrated.

A Unified Computing System server can also be pre-provisioned using service profiles to prepare it for a newapplication to be mounted. This can be used to not only rapidly provision servers, but also to reprovisionservers as they are deployed and redeployed from one application type to another.

A service profile is a self-contained logical representation (object) of a desired physical server, includingconnectivity, configuration, and identity. Each service profile serves a specific purpose, ensuring that theassociated server hardware has the configuration, identities, and connectivity to the LAN and SAN based on therequirements from the applications the server will host. The service profile maintains configuration informationabout the server hardware, interfaces, fabric connectivity, and server and network identity: the serverpersonality. This includes all of the unique information for the server, including the MAC, WWPN, UUID, bootorder, and so forth. The personality information is stored in a format that can be managed through the CiscoUCS Manager. All service profiles are centrally managed and stored in a database on the Fabric Interconnects.

This dynamic provisioning allows for complete infrastructure repurposing.

QUESTION 39Which two adapter cards are supported by Cisco UCS B-Series Rack-Mount Servers? (Choose two.)

A. Fire wireB. EthernetC. HDMID. WirelessE. CNAF. USBG. VIC

Correct Answer: BGSection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Cisco offers two Converged Network Adapters (CNA). These are called converged because they contains bothan application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) for Fibre Channel and an ASIC for Data Center Ethernet as wellas a third ASIC onboard, called the Menlo ASIC. The Menlo ASIC combines Fibre Channel and Ethernetcommunication into 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Cisco uses cards manufactured by both Emulex (called the UCS CNAM71KR-E ) and QLogic (called the UCS CNA M71KR-Q). These CNAs cost more than the UCS 82598KR-CI,but you don't have to worry about using an OS with the FCoE stack; all you need are the appropriate drivers.The CNAs are called the "Compatibility" adapter in this slide because it has a Fibre Channel chip and a DataCenter Ethernet chip on it, along with the Menlo chip that combines the two.

The UCS CNA M71KR is a virtual interface card (VIC). It differentiates itself from UCS 82598KR-CI and thetwo CNAs in that it can create what appears to the OS as hardware Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) and Ethernet. Itis a virtualized network adapter. Whereas the CNAs limit you to two Ethernet uplinks and two HBA uplinks, theVIC can create up to 128 virtual NICs. A customer could easily create a bladed server that looks like it has 40separate Ethernet or Fibre Channel cards in it, and of course that configuration requires reduced wiring and farless power. The VIC is cutting-edge technology, and ergo is the most expensive of the three options.

The UCS M81KR Virtual Interface Controller (VIC) for the UCS blade series has now been complemented bythe UCS P81E Virtual Interface Card for use with Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Servers.

QUESTION 40Which component represents the highest cost in an IT environment over time?

A. CapExB. ROIC. OpExD. TCO


Explanation/Reference:Another factor is the operational cost of deploying and redeploying resources between applicationenvironments. Often, the acquisition and deployment of new assets is a less costly option, which effectivelysubstitutes capital expenditure (CapEx) for operational expenditure (OpEx). This approach can mean the datacenter is increasingly populated by underutilized resources, which will ultimately hit the OpEx budget as the costof managing these assets grows with every new deployment.

QUESTION 41Which two statements best describe the benefits of the Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Servers? (Choosetwo.)

A. the use of patented Cisco Extended Memory technologyB. 40-GB Ethernet Unified Network FabricC. single-vendor infrastructureD. proprietary high-latency 1-GB Ethernet Unified FabricE. a platform purpose-built for virtualization

Correct Answer: AESection: (none)Explanation

With the integration and visibility intonetwork virtualization, the Cisco UCS system is uniquely positioned as a preferred platform on which to run

VMware ESX.

The C-Series Rack-Mount Servers come in seven different versions including the C200 M1 and M2 High-Density Rack-Mount Servers, the C210 M1 and M2 General-Purpose Rack-Mount Servers, the C250 M1 andM2 Extended Memory Rack-Mount Servers, and the C460 M1 High-Performance Rack-Mount Server.

QUESTION 42What is the benefit of a converged network?

A. easily manages a complex data centerB. physically isolates SAN and UN trafficC. provides an independent security policy for each departmentD. consolidates the infrastructure


Explanation/Reference:The main driver for Unified I/O is virtualization. The number of interfaces and cables drastically increases withserver virtualization due to requirements to have redundantly connected multiple segments. With Unified I/O,fewer physical adapters are required; therefore, also the amount of cables reduces.

The unified fabric enables the LAN and SAN connectivity over a single physical link; therefore, the Ethernet orTCP/IP and FC traffic are multiplexed over a single copper or fiber-optic wire. With unified fabric deployment,the number of host adapters and cables is minimized, thereby simplifying the cabling and access layer.

The Unified Fabric Architecture merges the LAN and SAN infrastructure into a single consolidated network andis a significant element in the Cisco Data Center Business Advantage framework.

If we want to deploy and redeploy IT assets across application silos to meet the changing needs of theapplications teams, we need to consolidate and virtualize.

QUESTION 43What is the purpose of a data center?

A. to provide maximum server availabilityB. to support enterprise applicationsC. to provide innovative technology resourcesD. to provide cooling for servers


Explanation/Reference:Finally, information systems are applications that directly or indirectly define business processes. Infrastructurerefers to facilities and permanent components, such as hardware, operating systems, and local and networkservices.

A customer could easily create a bladed server that looks like it has 40separate Ethernet or Fibre Channel cards in it, and of course that configuration requires reduced wiring and farless power. The VIC is cutting-edge technology, and ergo is the most expensive of the three options.

The UCS M81KR Virtual Interface Controller (VIC) for the UCS blade series has now been complemented bythe UCS P81E Virtual Interface Card for use with Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Servers.

QUESTION 52What is the purpose of a data center?

A. to provide maximum server availabilityB. to support enterprise applicationsC. to provide innovative technology resourcesD. to provide cooling for servers


Explanation/Reference:Finally, information systems are applications that directly or indirectly define business processes. Infrastructurerefers to facilities and permanent components, such as hardware, operating systems, and local and networkservices.

Data center virtualization must also support application silos if we are to maintain the support of the applicationsteams who have traditionally used a siloed architecture and infrastructure to ensure isolation and security withintheir application areas.

QUESTION 58Which three are network layers of the Cisco architectural design? (Choose three.)

A. accessB. consolidationC. switchD. distribution (aggregation)E. coreF. server

Correct Answer: ADESection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Cisco models architectural design on a simple model of core, aggregation, and access. This model isconceptual and can be applied to a physical architecture. The core of the network should be the most stable,provide the fastest bandwidth possible, and make flow decisions based on a number of criteria includingphysical and virtual location. The aggregation layer aggregates switches, isolates failure domains, interconnectscampus resources, and connects branch and WAN networks. The server and storage access layer is howservers and storage devices gain access to resources such as SANs, high-performance clusters and grids, andthe IP network.
