Where is the witness deployed in a two-node Cisco HyperFlex Edge deployment?

  1. to the HyperFlex Edge two-node cluster
  2. to Cisco Intersight
  3. to a third-party cloud provider
  4. to an additional server with network access to HyperFlex Edge

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

In response to the capital expenditures (CapEx), ongoing operating expenses (OpEx), and long time to value when organizations need to deploy ROBO witness virtual machines, Cisco developed a next-generation invisible witness architecture for Cisco HyperFlex Edge deployments powered by the Cisco Intersightג„¢ platform. This innovative new deployment methodology eliminates the need for witness virtual machines, ongoing patching and maintenance, and additional infrastructure at a third site. Fig-ure 2 shows the Cisco HyperFlex Edge Invisible Cloud Witness architecture.

Refer to the exhibit.
What is the result of this series of commands?

  1. It reboots the server immediately.
  2. It activates the firmware on the next adapter boot.
  3. It updates the firmware on adapter 1/1/1 immediately.
  4. It verifies the firmware update on the server.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Use the set-startup-only keyword if you want to reboot the I/O module only when the fabric interconnect in its data path reboots. If you do not use the set-startup- only keyword, the I/O module reboots and disrupts traffic. In addition, if Cisco UCS Manager detects a protocol and firmware version mismatch between it and the
I/O module, it updates the I/O module with the firmware version that matches its own and then activates the firmware and reboots the I/O module again.

When the default firmware package is set to a new version, which type of policy determines the timing of server reboots during the firmware upgrade?

  1. diagnostics
  2. maintenance
  3. local disk
  4. BIOS

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

This activation procedure causes the server to reboot. Depending upon whether the service profile associated with the server includes a maintenance policy, the reboot can occur immediately. Cisco recommends that you upgrade the board controller firmware through the host firmware package in the service profile as the last step of upgrading a Cisco UCS domain, along with upgrading the server BIOS. This reduces the number of times a server needs to reboot during the upgrade process.

Which two hypervisors does Cisco HyperFlex support? (Choose two.)

  1. OpenStack
  2. Citrix XenServer
  3. VMware vSphere
  4. RedHat KVM
  5. Microsoft Hyper-V

Answer(s): C,E

Explanation:

Cisco HyperFlex systems include a purpose-built, high-performance, low-latency hyperconverged platform that adapts to support any application, in any cloud, anywhere. The platform supports multiple hypervisors and virtualized environments (Microsoft Windows Server 2019 Hyper-V, VMware vSphere), Docker containers with Kubernetes, multicloud services, and edge deployments to efficiently and economically deploy, monitor, and manage applications.
