Which statement about when you deploy Cisco UCCE on Cisco UCS C-Series Tested Reference Configuration (TRC) Servers assuming the UCCE VM coresidency rules are met?

Question

Options

• AYou must check/calculate if you have enough IOPS as specified on UCCE docwiki VMs storage requirements.
• BYou do not need to check/calculate if you have enough IOPS as specified on UCCE docwiki VMs storage requirements since TRC is pre-tested with known VM storage requirements.
• CYou can add SAN external storage in addition to local disks on the UCS C-Series TRCs to meet UCCE VMs IOPS requirements.
• DYou can enable thin Provisioned vDisks to have more disk space on order to meet UCCE VMs IOPS requirements.

• B
  94% (31)
• C
  3% (1)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

B is correct because Cisco UCS C-Series TRC (Tested Reference Configuration) servers are pre-validated configurations - Cisco has already performed the IOPS testing against known UCCE VM storage requirements, so administrators can trust the TRC spec without re-running their own IOPS calculations, provided co-residency rules are followed.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is incorrect because it describes the process you'd follow on non-TRC hardware; TRC eliminates that manual verification step.
• C is incorrect because TRC configurations are defined and validated with specific hardware specs - adding external SAN storage is not part of the TRC design and would take you outside the tested configuration.
• D is incorrect because thin-provisioned vDisks affect disk space capacity, not IOPS performance; IOPS is about I/O throughput, not storage allocation, so thin provisioning does not help meet IOPS requirements.

Memory tip: Think of TRC as a "pre-approved blueprint" - Cisco already did the homework, so you don't have to. If it's TRC + co-residency rules met, the storage math is already done for you.
