A regional hospital cabled one link from each fabric interconnect to a new blade chassis, and the chassis is not discovered. The chassis discovery policy requires four links. Which setting is blocking discovery?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The discovery policy is a minimum headcount at the door. You set it to four links, and this chassis only brought one per side, so the fabric interconnect will not discover it. A server pool or a power policy does not count those links.
Full Explanation
The chassis discovery policy sets the minimum number of links between an IOM and a fabric interconnect before Cisco UCS Manager will discover that chassis. A policy set to four links does not discover a chassis that is wired with one link per side, which is exactly the hospital cabling. Reacknowledging the chassis does not override that minimum. A server-pool qualification filters blades for service profile association after hardware is already in inventory. It does not decide whether the chassis is discovered. The host firmware package selects server BIOS, adapter, and controller images for a service profile. Deleting it does not make an IOM visible, and discovery does not wait on a host package. Grid is a chassis power policy for two independent utility feeds. It has nothing to do with how many data links are required before discovery. Caveat: if other chassis in this domain really do use four links, lowering the policy to one link discovers this chassis, and those richer chassis still need a later reacknowledge so the extra links are used. Operational check: either set the discovery policy to the one link that is cabled or add the links the policy already requires, then confirm the chassis appears and can be acknowledged.
