Question
A midsize company recently brought up a Cisco UCS environment with a VSAN datastore to support their virtualized data center infrastructure. After monitoring the new environment for several months, the network-engineering team is concerned about the potential performance degradation arising from competing network traffic between management vNICs and vSAN on shared physical adapters. The team also wants to develop a standardized approach to vNIC/vHBA placement across all blade servers, to make it easier to maintain consistency and minimize the risk of errors. Which two actions must the team take to achieve this goal and improve the situation? (Choose two.)
Options
- ADeploy VLANs to decouple the management vNIC from vSAN traffic and provision a fabric
- BCreate a dedicated vCon placement policy for management vNICs and incorporate it into a
- CAutomate template submission across all blade servers using UCS Manager.
- DReroute management traffic to a dedicated network segment.
- ECreate a separate virtual fabric for management traffic.

Explanation
A vCon placement policy standardizes where vNICs/vHBAs land (which adapter, which fabric, which PCI order). Putting it into a reusable template ensures consistent, repeatable interface placement across all blades and reduces configuration errors. Creating a separate virtual fabric for management traffic isolates management from vSAN traffic on the shared adapters by using dedicated QoS/traffic classes and logical separation, reducing contention and protecting vSAN performance.
