A SaaS platform wants a warning when a published security advisory applies to the firmware on a claimed rack server. Which view answers that?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Advisories are the recall notices for hardware and firmware you already own. You open the Intersight advisories for the claimed server to see a published security notice that matches its firmware. A traffic mirror and a WWN pool do not publish those notices.
Full Explanation
Intersight advisories correlate published security advisories, field notices, and similar bulletins with the hardware and firmware of devices claimed into the account. Opening the advisories for the claimed rack server is how the SaaS platform sees that a bulletin applies to the firmware it is running. Traffic monitoring on a fabric interconnect is a frame copy, in the same family as SPAN. Copied frames are not advisory records, and a standalone rack server may not even be attached to a fabric interconnect. The chassis power policy describes how power supplies are fed. It does not publish field notices or security bulletins. A WWPN pool hands out Fibre Channel port identities for vHBAs. Pool entries are not tagged with advisory identifiers, and a rack server that is not using a vHBA still needs the firmware advisory. Caveat: the server has to be claimed and reporting its firmware, or Intersight cannot match a bulletin to it. Operational check: open the advisories for that server, confirm the listed firmware matches what the server is running, and follow the advisory's recommended firmware rather than a packet capture.
