Question

An engineer is deploying a Cisco UCS X-Series domain in Intersight Managed Mode. They create a UCS Server Profile Template with vNIC/vHBA configurations and want new compute nodes to automatically receive unique MAC addresses, WWPNs, and UUIDs without manual assignment as the profiles are derived from the template. Which action ensures each derived server profile obtains unique identifiers automatically at deployment time?

Accepted Answer

Reference identity pools (MAC, WWPN, UUID) within the policies attached to the server profile template so each derived profile pulls the next available value

Answer

Manually enter static MAC, WWPN, and UUID values into the server profile template before deriving the profiles

Answer

Enable DHCP-based identity assignment on the domain profile so the fabric interconnects lease identifiers to each node

Answer

Configure the chassis profile with an identity reservation policy that broadcasts unique values to inserted blades
