If the Overall Status for a Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Server indicates a failure in the Cisco UCS Manager, such as discovery-failed, the correct statement is:
D. The server is online, but the administrator cannot assign a service profile to that blade.
Explanation:
When a blade server's overall status indicates a failure in the Cisco UCS Manager, it means that the Cisco UCS Manager has lost communication with the blade server. This can happen for various reasons, such as a network connectivity issue or a hardware failure.
In this scenario, the blade server itself is still online and operational, but the administrator cannot assign a service profile to that blade until the communication issue with the Cisco UCS Manager is resolved. The service profile contains the configuration and policies that define how the server should operate, and it cannot be applied to the blade server until the communication issue is resolved.
It is important to note that the server will not shut down or automatically reboot in this scenario. These options are not applicable to the issue at hand. The endpoints on that server cannot be upgraded is also not a correct statement in this scenario since the issue is related to the communication with the Cisco UCS Manager and not the endpoints themselves.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. The server is online, but the administrator cannot assign a service profile to that blade.
