The correct answer is C. $wwpn_pool | Add-UcsWwnMemberBlock -From 20:00:00:24:B5:00:00:00 -To. To make hosts visible to the northbound SAN network and storage initiators in Cisco UCS Manager, WWPNs must be assigned. The configuration involves adding a block of WWN addresses to a WWPN pool, which is then used by vHBAs in service profiles.

Question

A Cisco engineer is using a PowerShell script to create a service profile template on Cisco UCS Manager. After defining the server pools and other templates, the engineer must ensure that the hosts are visible to the northbound SAN network and storage initiators. Which configuration must be applied to enable this capability?

Options

  • AGet-UcsApplianceCloud | Get-UcsVlan -Name ApplianceVlan | Add-UcsVlanMemberPortChannel
  • BGet-UcsApplianceCloud | Get-UcsVlan -name ApplianceVlan | Add-UcsVlanMemberPort -
  • C$wwpn_pool | Add-UcsWwnMemberBlock -From 20:00:00:24:B5:00:00:00 -To
  • DGet-UcsMacPool -Ucs default | Add-UcsMacMemberBlock 00:25:B5:00:A0:00 00:25:B5:00:A0:08

Why each option

To make hosts visible to the northbound SAN network and storage initiators in Cisco UCS Manager, WWPNs must be assigned. The configuration involves adding a block of WWN addresses to a WWPN pool, which is then used by vHBAs in service profiles.

AGet-UcsApplianceCloud | Get-UcsVlan -Name ApplianceVlan | Add-UcsVlanMemberPortChannel

This command relates to adding a VLAN member to a port channel, which is used for Ethernet network connectivity, not Fibre Channel SAN addressing.

BGet-UcsApplianceCloud | Get-UcsVlan -name ApplianceVlan | Add-UcsVlanMemberPort -

This command relates to adding a VLAN member to a port, which is used for Ethernet network connectivity, not Fibre Channel SAN addressing.

C$wwpn_pool | Add-UcsWwnMemberBlock -From 20:00:00:24:B5:00:00:00 -ToCorrect

This command block assigns a range of World Wide Port Names (WWPNs) to a WWPN pool. WWPNs are unique identifiers for Fibre Channel ports, and they are essential for vHBAs on UCS servers to be recognized as initiators by the SAN fabric and storage arrays.

DGet-UcsMacPool -Ucs default | Add-UcsMacMemberBlock 00:25:B5:00:A0:00 00:25:B5:00:A0:08

This command adds a block of MAC addresses to a MAC pool, which is used for Ethernet networking, not Fibre Channel SAN connectivity.
