Question
An engineer is designing a Cisco UCS Central implementation for an existing Cisco UCS infrastructure, and the current policies must be reused. Which action must the engineer select?
Options
- AConnect Cisco UCS Manager to Cisco UCS Central and convert local policies to global policies.
- BExport the policies from Cisco UCS Manager and import them in Cisco UCS Central.
- CRetain existing policies in Cisco UCS Manager and use global policies for new service profiles.
- DCreate new policies in Cisco UCS Central and change the assignment to central.

Why each option
To reuse current policies in a Cisco UCS Central implementation for an existing Cisco UCS infrastructure, the engineer must connect Cisco UCS Manager to UCS Central and then convert local policies to global policies.
After registering a Cisco UCS Manager domain with Cisco UCS Central, the recommended and supported action to reuse existing local policies is to convert them into global policies and service profile templates within UCS Central. This enables central management and consistent application of those policies across multiple UCS domains.
Direct export and import of policies between UCS Manager and UCS Central is not the native or recommended method for integrating existing policies into central management.
Retaining policies locally in UCS Manager and only using global policies for new service profiles does not meet the requirement to 'reuse' the *current* policies centrally.
Creating new policies in UCS Central contradicts the requirement to 'reuse' existing policies from the current UCS infrastructure.
