Explanation

To connect a Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect (FI) directly to an external FC storage array, and considering the budget limitation (i.e., no external FC switch), the correct approach involves placing the FI in FC switch mode, not end-host mode. Option A is Required. When directly connecting to FC storage, the FI must be in FC switch mode to establish direct fabric connectivity (FC end-host mode does not support direct-attached Option E is Required. You must define a VSAN in UCS Manager to map FC traffic correctly within
