200-155 · Question #214

Which two server properties can be defined within a service profile? (Choose two )

The correct answer is A. RAID controller type D. MAC address. Cisco UCS service profiles define the logical configuration of a server, allowing for the specification of hardware-related settings like RAID controller type and network-related identifiers such as MAC addresses.

Why each option

Cisco UCS service profiles define the logical configuration of a server, allowing for the specification of hardware-related settings like RAID controller type and network-related identifiers such as MAC addresses.

ARAID controller typeCorrect

Service profiles allow for the specification of storage configurations, including the RAID controller type (e.g., LSI MegaRAID, Cisco Flexible Flash) and associated policies for the server's local disks.

BCPU speed

CPU speed is a fixed attribute of the physical CPU hardware installed in the server and cannot be defined or changed within a service profile.

Cmemory capacity

Memory capacity is determined by the physical RAM modules installed in the server and cannot be configured or modified through a service profile; service profiles specify policies like memory error correction, not capacity.

DMAC addressCorrect

MAC addresses are unique identifiers for network interfaces, and service profiles can assign a MAC address from a predefined pool to each virtual NIC (vNIC) associated with the server.

ENIC count

While service profiles define the specific virtual NICs (vNICs) that will be created, the 'NIC count' itself is not a directly configurable property within the service profile; rather, it is a result of how many vNICs are defined.
