The UCS Chassis Discovery Policy has been set to four and a new chassis is connected with two links What is the resulting chassis recognition action?

Question

Options

• AThe chassis will not be recognized
• BThe Chassis Discovery Policy will automatically reset to two links, since it always tracks the
• CThe chassis will be recognized and both links will be active
• DThe chassis will be recognized but only one of the links will be active.

• A
  88% (23)
• B
  8% (2)
• C
  4% (1)

Explanation

In Cisco UCS, the Chassis Discovery Policy defines the minimum number of links required between a chassis I/O Module (IOM) and the Fabric Interconnect before UCS Manager will recognize and manage that chassis. When set to four, UCS Manager expects at least four uplink connections - connecting only two links falls short of this threshold, so the chassis is simply ignored and never brought under management.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B is wrong because the policy never auto-adjusts to match available links - it is a static administrator-configured threshold, not a dynamic one.
• C is wrong because recognition itself is blocked; there is no partial state where the chassis comes up with fewer links active.
• D is wrong for the same reason - UCS Manager does not partially recognize a chassis with a subset of links when the minimum is not met.

Memory tip: Think of the Chassis Discovery Policy as a velvet rope with a guest count minimum - if your party doesn't meet the minimum, nobody gets in. The number of links is the "party size," and if you're under the minimum, UCS Manager doesn't even open the door.
