The correct answer is A. Static Pinning and UCS Fabric Interconnect in Fibre Channel End Host Mode. Fibre Channel End Host Mode on the UCS Fabric Interconnects prevents each FI from consuming its own SAN domain ID, preserving your limited domain pool on the MDS fabric.

Question
The Cisco UCS environment must be connected to an existing SAN network that consists of several Cisco MDS 9000 Series Switches added to increase storage density. The solution must not exhaust the SAN network from the list of available domain IDs after connecting. Most of the SAN traffic must be mapped from the Cisco UCS blades to a specific group of the fabric interconnect ports. Which configuration must be deployed to meet these requirements?

Explanation
Fibre Channel End Host Mode on the UCS Fabric Interconnects prevents each FI from consuming its own SAN domain ID, preserving your limited domain pool on the MDS fabric. Static Pinning lets you bind each server blade’s vHBA to a specific FI FC uplink port (or port group), ensuring that the majority of traffic from UCS blades egresses exactly where you intend it, without dynamic load‑balancing changing paths.
