Question
Refer to the exhibit. A Cisco engineer is configuring a FlexPod data center for SAP with Cisco ACI, Cisco UCS Manager 4.0, and NetApp AFF A-Series. All systems and fabric links feature redundancy and provide end-to-end high availability. After the engineer sets the needed VLANs on the NetApp controller ports and adds them to the data broadcast domain, the engineer must make the storage disks visible for the UCS hosts. Which action must be taken on the UCS to accomplish this task?

- CCreate aggregates in ONTAP.
- DEnable HTTPS access on the servers.

Why each option
To make storage disks visible to UCS hosts in a FlexPod deployment, a Storage Virtual Machine (SVM) must be provided on the NetApp controller.
Configuring IQN pools for iSCSI boot is a task performed on the Cisco UCS side to define initiator names for iSCSI hosts, not an action on the storage array to make disks visible.
On a NetApp storage system, a Storage Virtual Machine (SVM), also known as a Vserver, serves as a secure, virtualized storage container that presents logical storage (volumes, LUNs) to clients and hosts like Cisco UCS servers, making the storage disks visible and accessible.
Creating aggregates in ONTAP is a foundational step in storage provisioning, but aggregates are physical disk groupings; an SVM is required to logically present storage from these aggregates to hosts.
Enabling HTTPS access on the servers relates to secure management access to the servers themselves, not to making storage disks visible from the NetApp array to the UCS hosts.
