The correct answer is D. Configure VIC attached ports as Uplink ports on fabric interconnects. To integrate a Cisco UCS C-Series server with a single VIC 1455 into a UCS Manager cluster without fabric extenders, the VIC attached ports on the Fabric Interconnects must be configured as server ports.
Question
An engineer must deploy a Cisco UCS C-Series Server with a single VIC 1455 integrated into a Cisco UCS Manager cluster. Two fiber connections are available, and the deployment has no fabric extenders. Which set of actions accomplishes this goal?
Options
- AReset the system using Cisco IMC to its factory default settings.
- BConfigure VIC attached ports as Uplink ports on fabric interconnects.
- CReset the system using Cisco IMC to its factory default settings.
- DConfigure VIC attached ports as Uplink ports on fabric interconnects.

Why each option
To integrate a Cisco UCS C-Series server with a single VIC 1455 into a UCS Manager cluster without fabric extenders, the VIC attached ports on the Fabric Interconnects must be configured as server ports.
Resetting the system using Cisco IMC to its factory default settings is a prerequisite for integrating a C-Series server into UCS Manager, but it's not the final configuration step on the Fabric Interconnects.
Configuring VIC attached ports as Uplink ports would be incorrect, as uplink ports are typically used to connect the Fabric Interconnects to external networks, not to connect to servers.
Resetting the system using Cisco IMC to its factory default settings is a necessary initial step but does not describe the specific configuration on the Fabric Interconnects for server integration.
To integrate a rack server like the C-Series with a VIC into a UCS Manager domain without fabric extenders, the ports on the Fabric Interconnects that connect to the VIC must be configured as server ports. This allows the Fabric Interconnects to manage the server, recognize the VIC, and provide network and storage connectivity.
