An engineer wants to create a backup of Cisco UCS Manager for disaster recovery purposes.
What are two characteristics of a full state backup of a Cisco UCS Manager database? (Choose two.)

  1. contains all of the runtime states and statuses but not the configurations
  2. performs a complete binary dump of the database as a .bin file
  3. performs a complete binary dump of the database as a .sql file
  4. performs a complete binary dump of the database as a .txz file
  5. contains all of the configurations

Answer(s): B,E

Explanation:

Backup Types -
You can perform one or more of the following types of backups through Cisco UCS Manager:
Full stateג€"A binary file that includes a snapshot of the entire system. You can use the file generated from this backup to restore the system during disaster recovery. This file can restore or rebuild the configuration on the original fabric interconnect or recreate the configuration on a different fabric interconnect. You cannot use this file for an import.

What happens to the default host firmware policy after a Cisco UCS Manager upgrade?

  1. It is assigned to all the service profiles that include a host firmware policy.
  2. It is replaced by a new default policy without any firmware entries.
  3. It is set to match the host firmware policy.
  4. It is updated to contain the firmware entries of all the components.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

After you upgrade Cisco UCS Manager, a new host firmware policy named "default" is created, and is assigned to all service profiles that did not already include a host firmware policy. The default host firmware policy is blank. It does not contain any firmware entries for any components.

An engineer is asked to use SaaS to manage Cisco computing.
Which two items are needed to accomplish the task? (Choose two.)

  1. Intersight
  2. UCS Central
  3. Device/Claim ID
  4. Node name/Serial Number
  5. UCS Manager

Answer(s): A,C

Explanation:

Cisco Intersightג„¢ is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) hybrid cloud operations platform that delivers intelligent automation, observability, operations, and optimization to customers for traditional, cloud-native, and hybrid IT infrastructure and resources.
For Cisco infrastructure, the Intersight platform works in conjunction with Cisco UCS Manager, Cisco Integrated Management Controller (IMC), and Cisco
HyperFlex Connect.

An engineer is configuring a backup operation on the existing Cisco UCS environment using a logical configuration.
Which configuration is expected to be saved by using this backup type?

  1. systems
  2. roles
  3. servers
  4. service profiles

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Backup Types -
You can perform one or more of the following types of backups through Cisco UCS Manager:
ג€¢ Full stateג€"A binary file that includes a snapshot of the entire system. You can use the file generat-ed from this backup to restore the system during disaster recovery. This file can restore or rebuild the configuration on the original fabric interconnect, or recreate the configuration on a different fabric in-terconnect. You cannot use this file for an import.
ג€¢ All configurationג€"An XML file that includes all system and logical configuration settings. You can use the file generated from this backup to import these configuration settings to the original fabric in-terconnect or to a different fabric interconnect. You cannot use this file for a system restore.
ג€¢ System configurationג€"An XML file that includes all system configuration settings such as usernames, roles, and locales. You can use the file generated from this backup to import these con-figuration settings to the original fabric interconnect or to a different fabric interconnect. You cannot use this file for a system restore.
ג€¢ Logical configurationג€"An XML file that includes all logical configuration settings such as service profiles, VLANs, VSANs, pools, and policies. You can use the file generated from this backup to im-port these configuration settings to the original fabric interconnect or to a different fabric intercon-nect. You cannot use this file for a system restore.

An engineer is seeking the most optimal on demand CPU performance while configuring the BIOS settings of a UCS C-series rack mount server.
What setting will accomplish this goal?

  1. C6 Retention
  2. C6 non-Retention
  3. C2 state
  4. C0/C1 state

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

When we are working on demand, we really do not know when we will have a spike and need to answer the requests quickly so working on C0/C1 will be suitable for this case.
C0 state ג€" The server provides all server components with full power at all times. This option maintains the highest level of performance and requires the greatest amount of power.
C1 state ג€" When the CPU is idle, the system slightly reduces the power consumption. This option requires less power than C0 and allows the server to return quickly to high-performance mode.
While C3, C6, and C7 could cause performance issues until the server returns to full power and it is not suitable for on-demand.
