If the Overall Status for a Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Server indicates a failure in the Cisco UCS Manager, such as discovery-failed, which statement is true?

A discovery-failed status is a UCS Manager software-inventory failure and does not trigger an automatic power-off of the server blade.

Cisco UCS Manager has no built-in behavior to automatically reboot a server after a discovery failure; remediation requires administrator intervention.

Cisco UCS Manager requires a fully discovered server - with all endpoints inventoried and the FSM in a successful state - before it can push or activate firmware on those endpoints. A discovery-failed condition leaves endpoint inventory incomplete, causing the firmware upgrade process to fail or skip that server entirely. The server hardware may still be running its workload, but UCS Manager cannot safely manage or upgrade its firmware components.

Service profile assignment is not strictly blocked by a discovery-failed status in all UCS Manager versions; the primary and documented impact is the inability to upgrade endpoints on that server.
