Single answerA network engineer is tasked with automating the provisioning of servers in a data center using Cisco UCS Manager API. The engineer needs to create a service profile template and assign it to multiple servers. Which capability of the Cisco UCS Manager API allows the engineer to perform this task?
- A
Instantiating a Service Profile Template using the UCS XML API
- B
Using the Cisco UCS Python SDK to configure VLANs on UCS Fabric Interconnects
- C
Monitoring hardware health using SNMP in UCS Manager
- D
Integrating Cisco UCS with third-party cloud platforms through REST API
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The Cisco UCS XML API is a powerful tool for automating tasks in UCS Manager, including creating and instantiating service profile templates. This capability aligns with the scenario's requirement to automate server provisioning using UCS compute management platforms.
- A. Correct.
The Cisco UCS XML API provides the ability to automate tasks such as creating and instantiating service profile templates. This matches the requirement in the scenario.
- B. Incorrect.
While the Cisco UCS Python SDK can be used for automation, the scenario specifically asks about creating service profile templates, which is better suited for the XML API.
- C. Incorrect.
SNMP is used for monitoring purposes, not for provisioning or creating service profiles in UCS Manager.
- D. Incorrect.
Integrating with third-party cloud platforms is unrelated to the task of creating service profile templates in Cisco UCS Manager.
