An engineer needs to connect Cisco UCS Manager to an external storage array. Due to budget limitations, the engineer must connect a Cisco UCS manager directly to an FC storage port.
Which two actions must be taken to complete this connection? (Choose two)
A. Configure the fabric interconnect in FC switch mode
B. Create a storage connection policy
C. Set FC zoning to disabled when creating the VSAN
D. Configure the fabric interconnect in end host mode
E. Create the required VSAN in the SAN cloud
Explanation:
To connect Cisco UCS Manager directly to an FC storage port, the fabric interconnect must be configured in FC switch mode, which allows it to manage Fibre Channel traffic and zoning. Additionally, creating the required VSAN in the SAN cloud is necessary to define a virtual storage area network that can be associated with the storage ports on the fabric interconnect.
Reference: Detailed steps for these actions can be found in the Cisco documentation, which outlines the process of configuring direct attached storage and FC zoning with Cisco UCS Manager
