You have configured a Cisco UCS C460 M2 Rack-Mount Server with two VIC 1225 adapters for single-wire management with Cisco UCS Manager.
Which statement correctly describes the operation of these adapters?

A. B. C. D.C.
The Cisco UCS C460 M2 Rack-Mount Server is designed to support multiple network interface cards (NICs) and converged network adapters (CNAs) for data communication and management tasks. The VIC 1225 adapter is a dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) PCIe card that provides enhanced virtualization capabilities, including Virtual Machine Fabric Extender (VM-FEX) and Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) support.
When configuring the Cisco UCS C460 M2 server with two VIC 1225 adapters for single-wire management with Cisco UCS Manager, both adapters will be used for data traffic and management tasks. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. This configuration allows for redundancy and load balancing of network traffic and provides greater flexibility in managing the network resources of the server.
Option A is not correct because it assumes that one VIC is exclusively designated for management and the other for data traffic, which is not the case with the dual VIC configuration.
Option C is not correct because it assumes that one VIC carries management while both VICs carry data traffic. This is also not the case with the dual VIC configuration.
Option D is not correct because the Cisco UCS C460 M2 server does support two VIC 1225 adapters simultaneously, as stated in the question.
In summary, when configuring a Cisco UCS C460 M2 server with two VIC 1225 adapters for single-wire management, both adapters will be used for data traffic and management tasks, providing redundancy, load balancing, and flexibility in managing the network resources of the server.
