Question

A maintenance operation on power rail A caused a reboot of the servers in a Cisco UCS B-Series chassis. The Cisco UCS system has these attributes:

  • The system is equipped with four PSUs.
  • N+1 mode is used.
  • PSU 1 and 2 are connected to rail A.
  • PSU 3 and 4 are connected to rail B.

Which action prevents server reboot when rail A goes down?

Options

  • AUse GRID mode do not change physical plugs.
  • BConfigure nonredundant mode with PSU1 and 3 on A and PSU2 and 4 on ?
  • CUse N+2 mode; do not change physical plugs.
  • DConfigure N+1 mode with PSU1 and 2 on ?and PSU3 and 4 on A.

Explanation

In the current setup, PSU 1 and 2 are connected to rail A, and PSU 3 and 4 are connected to rail B. When rail A goes down, both PSU 1 and 2 are lost, leaving only the power from rail B (PSU 3 and 4), which might not be sufficient depending on the load, causing the servers to By configuring nonredundant mode with PSU1 and PSU3 on rail A and PSU2 and PSU4 on rail B, you distribute the power more evenly across the power rails. This ensures that both power rails provide power to the system, preventing a complete power failure in the event of one rail
