What is the name of the process to automatically upgrade a new Fabric Interconnect when it is connected to the functioning Fabric Interconnect?

The correct answer is D. Firmware Update Process. When a new Fabric Interconnect is connected to an existing UCS cluster, the Firmware Update Process automatically upgrades the new unit's firmware to match the version running on the primary Fabric Interconnect.

Why each option

When a new Fabric Interconnect is connected to an existing UCS cluster, the Firmware Update Process automatically upgrades the new unit's firmware to match the version running on the primary Fabric Interconnect.

AFirmware Policy Process

Firmware Policy Process is not a defined Cisco UCS process name for the automatic upgrade that occurs when a new Fabric Interconnect joins an existing cluster.

BAuto-Negotiate Process

Auto-Negotiate Process refers to Ethernet link speed and duplex negotiation at the physical layer, not to firmware synchronization between Fabric Interconnects.

CAuto-Sync Process

Auto-Sync Process is a plausible distractor but is not the official Cisco UCS terminology for the process that automatically upgrades firmware on a newly connected Fabric Interconnect.

DFirmware Update ProcessCorrect

The Firmware Update Process is the Cisco UCS mechanism that detects a newly added Fabric Interconnect and automatically upgrades its firmware to match the version already running on the established primary unit. This ensures both Fabric Interconnects in the cluster operate on identical firmware, maintaining cluster consistency and preventing version mismatches. The process initiates automatically upon physical connection and registration of the new FI with UCS Manager.
