 A Cisco All-Flash HyperFlex solution requires two solid state drives (SSDs) for the local storage configuration of the operating system and persistent logging. The SSDs are used to store the hypervisor, the HyperFlex controller VM, and the system logs. The SSDs also provide high performance and reliability for the system operations. The SSDs are configured in a RAID 1 mirror mode, which provides redundancy and fault tolerance. The SSDs are separate from the data storage drives, which are also SSDs in an All-Flash HyperFlex solution. References :=

To configure a single Cisco APIC controller for Cisco ACI fabric for the first time, you need to configure the first Cisco APIC controller (B) and register the switches that are discovered through LLDP (D). The initial configuration of the APIC is crucial as it sets up the controller with the necessary settings to manage the ACI fabric. Registering the switches through LLDP allows the APIC to recognize and manage the fabric switches, which is essential for the ACI fabric to function correctly. References: Cisco’s official documentation on setting up an ACI fabric1, and the Cisco APIC Basic Configuration Guide2.

Ansible meets the requirements as it uses SSH for transport, does not require agent software to be installed on managed systems, and uses YAML for its playbooks, which is a human-readable data serialization standard, making it easy to read and use for people with limited knowledge of scripting languages.

 Changing the default host firmware policy in Cisco UCS Manager affects any service profile that uses the global-default host firmware policy. This is because the global-default host firmware policy serves as a template for service profiles that do not have a specific host firmware policy defined. When changes are made to the default policy, they propagate to all service profiles that reference it, potentially affecting the firmware version and settings across multiple servers.
