A customer deployed Cisco B200 blades with service profiles. The customer experiences an outage on one of the Cisco B200 blades that will be replaced with a spare blade already in inventory. Which…

Disassociating the service profile from the failed blade releases the profile and its assigned identities (like MAC addresses, WWNs, and UUIDs) from the physical hardware, making the service profile available to be moved to a different server.

Associating the service profile to the spare blade then applies all the pre-configured identities, settings, and policies from that service profile to the new physical server, allowing the spare blade to assume the exact identity and configuration of the failed blade, ensuring a quick and consistent recovery.

Creating a new service profile for the spare blade would result in a new configuration and new identities, which is not the objective when replacing a failed blade to maintain existing services.

Deleting a service profile from the spare blade is an unnecessary step as the spare blade should either be unassociated or will have its default profile overwritten when a new service profile is associated.

Creating a new service profile template for the failed blade is irrelevant to the process of transferring an existing service profile to a replacement blade.
