Your company wants Server 1/eth0 (vNIC 1) configured so that it always uses Fabric Interconnect A Port Channel 1 (Po1) when it communicates with anything outside of the Cisco UCS domain. However, if vNIC 1 fails over to Fabric Interconnect B using fabric failover, then vNIC 1 can use any uplink port on Fabric Interconnect B.
Which statements are true? (Choose two.)
A. The fabric interconnects must be in end-host mode.
B. A pin group must be configured on the server tab in Cisco UCS Manager.
C. In the service profile for Server 1, vNIC 1 must be explicitly assigned to a pin group.
D. Server 1 cannot be configured to meet the requirement. A server can only be manually pinned to a single physical interface and not a port channel because of the LACP load-balancing algorithm.
E. Server 1 cannot be configured to meet the requirement. A server is either manually pinned to an uplink on both fabric interconnects or the server is automatically pinned, but not both.
Correct Answer: AC

Explanation:
This type of service profile provides the maximum amount of flexibility and control. This profile allows you to override the identity values that are on the server at the time of association and use the resource pools and policies set up in Cisco UCS Manager to automate some administration tasks. You can disassociate this service profile from one server and then associate it with another server. This re-association can be done either manually or through an automated server pool policy. The burned-in settings, such as UUID and MAC address, on the new server are overwritten with the configuration in the service profile. As a result, the change in server is transparent to your network. You do not need to reconfigure any component or application on your network to begin using the new server.
