An engineer is implementing a Cisco UCS system with directly connected Fibre channel storage array. Which two actions should be taken to accomplish this task? (Choose two.)

While vHBAs are used in service profiles to present Fibre Channel connectivity to servers, creating a new vHBA dedicated to the array is a server-side concept, not a direct action for configuring the fabric interconnect's port for array connectivity.

For directly connected Fibre Channel storage, the physical Fibre Channel port on the Cisco UCS fabric interconnect must be explicitly configured as a "Fibre Channel Storage Port." This tells the fabric interconnect that the port connects to a storage device, enabling proper FCoE or native FC communication.

A storage connection policy is used to define how servers connect to storage (e.g., through SAN or NAS), but configuring the physical port and its logical isolation (VSAN) are more fundamental initial steps for direct Fibre Channel array connectivity.

Fibre Channel environments require VSANs (Virtual Storage Area Networks) for logical segregation of traffic and management domains. A new VSAN is necessary to isolate the traffic destined for the directly connected Fibre Channel storage array from other potential Fibre Channel traffic, ensuring proper zoning and security.

A Fibre Channel port channel is used for aggregating multiple physical Fibre Channel links for bandwidth and redundancy between devices, but it is not a mandatory or primary step for directly connecting a single storage array to a UCS fabric interconnect port in the initial setup.
