Cisco 300-620 Exam - Topic 10 Question 69 Discussion

An engineer plans a Cisco ACI firmware upgrade. The ACI fabric consists of three Cisco APIC controllers, two spine switches, and four leaf switches. Two leaf switches have 1-Gb copper s for bare metal servers, and the other two leaf switches have 10-Gb SFP ports to connect storage. Which set of actions accomplishes an upgrade with minimal disruptions?
D) Upgrade the APIC controllers as a single group by selecting the firmware and choosing Upgrade Now. Divide the switches into four upgrade groups with one switch per group. Start the firmware upgrade on each upgrade group in succession until all four are complete.
A) Upgrade the APIC controllers by selecting the desired firmware and choosing Upgrade Now. Divide the switches into two upgrade groups: spines and leaves. Start the firmware upgrade on the spine upgrade group and then proceed with the leaf upgrade group.
B) Upgrade the APIC controllers by initiating the upgrade process that uses the most recent uploaded firmware. Divide the switches into three upgrade groups: spines, 1-Gb switches, and 10-Gb switches. Start the firmware upgrade on the spine upgrade group and then proceed with the other two groups.
C) Upgrade the APIC controllers by selecting the desired firmware and choosing Upgrade Now. Divide the switches into two upgrade groups with one spine, one 1-Gb switch, and one 10-Gb switch per group. Start the firmware upgrade on the first upgrade group and when it finishes, start the second upgrade group.

Isn't it better to upgrade spines first, then leaves? Just asking!

I vaguely recall that upgrading all switches in one go could lead to issues, so I think we should definitely avoid option D.

This is a tricky one. I'm not super familiar with all these different security frameworks and processes. I'll need to use the process of elimination and try to match the description to the options as best I can.

Option F: Hire a team of monkeys to do the upgrades. They'll probably do a better job than some of these options.

I'm sure Option A is the correct answer. Why waste time dividing the switches into groups when you can just upgrade everything at once? YOLO!
