Which two are true with respect to the upgrade process for the Cisco Unified Computing System?
(Choose two.)
A.
For easier manageability, Cisco provides one full bundle that contains the firmware images for
all Cisco Unified Computing System components.
B.
You can choose from FTP, TFTP, SCP, and HTTP to copy the bundle image from a remote file
system.
C.
When the bundle image is downloaded, it must be transferred to the flash file system of the
active fabric interconnect.
D.
When the download is successful, Cisco Unified Computing System Manager expands the
individual files from the archive and installs them in the correct flash file system partition.
E.
It is strongly recommended that you activate all components in all chassis at one time.
F.
The I/O module, CIMC, and adaptors update process operates strictly on the backup partition of
Flash for a given component.

Answer A is wrong as this was changed for later version of Cisco UCS beginning with Cisco UCS, Release 1.4(1), Cisco releases firmware upgrades in multiple bundles,
rather than one large firmware package. It now delivers the firmware in the following bundles
Cisco UCS Infrastructure Software Bundle which contains
• Cisco UCS Manager software
• Kernel and system firmware for the fabric interconnects
• I/O module firmware
Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Server Software Bundle which contains
• CIMC firmware
• BIOS firmware
• Adapter firmware
• Board controller firmware
• Third-party firmware images required by the new server
Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount UCS-Managed Server Software Bundle
• CIMC firmware
• BIOS firmware
• Adapter firmware
• Storage controller firmware
Answer B is wrong as Cisco UCS firmware downloads do not include the option to use HTTP
Answer E is wrong as Cisco actually recommend when using the GUI to update firmware to not select ALL from the filter drop down list in the activate firmware dialog box to activate all endpoints simultaneously Many firmware releases
and patches have dependencies that require the endpoints to be activated in a specific order for the firmware update to succeed. This order can change depending upon the contents of the release or patch. Activating all endpoints does not guarantee that the updates occur in the required order and can disrupt communications
between the endpoints and the fabric interconnects and Cisco UCS Manager
You also cannot upgrade the infrastructure firmware at the same time as you upgrade server firmware.
Cisco UCS store all download firmware bundles into the bootflash by default when downloading and does not expand the bundles as far as I can find out so D is out
This leave C and F as far as I can see
Although C looks funny as Cisco UCS Manager stores the images in bootflash on the fabric interconnect. In a cluster setup, the image file for the firmware bundle is downloaded to both fabric interconnects, regardless of which fabric interconnect is used to initiate the download. Cisco UCS Manager maintains all firmware packages and images in both fabric interconnects in sync. If one fabric interconnect is down,
the download still finishes successfully. The images are synced to the other fabric interconnect when it comes back online. Can only see this as
