An engineer is troubleshooting a "Discovery Failed" error on a Cisco UCS C-Series server. The server is configured to be managed by the fabric interconnect directly The engineer discovered that only the data connection is established with the fabric interconnect Which port must be connected from the server to the fabric interconnect to resolve the issue?
mLOM port is correct because the failure is tied to the UCS managed state of UCS, fabric interconnect. In Cisco UCS, policies are not advisory; they are the source from which fabric interconnects program adapters, boot targets, server identity, firmware, and external integrations. A mismatch between the policy and the actual hardware or upstream storage/network state can cause boot, discovery, KVM, firmware, or connectivity failures. The selected action addresses the object that UCS Manager uses to build the final operational configuration. The distractors either solve a different fault domain or bypass the policy model. A disciplined DCIT validation sequence is to check the fault code, the FSM history, the equipment inventory, the service profile association, and the relevant adapter or boot table. If those states are correct after the change, the UCS component should return to operable service without unnecessary reconfiguration.
