A. B. C. D.

A.

The Flex Flash Controller is a feature that allows Cisco UCS B-series servers to utilize local disk storage, in addition to the standard SAN/NAS storage options. The auto-sync function enables the automatic synchronization of the Flex Flash Controller with the Cisco UCS Manager.

Of the options provided, option B is the correct answer: "Configure a storage connection policy to use auto-sync."

Here is a more detailed explanation of each option:

A. Enable auto-sync in the servers > inventory > storage subtab This option is incorrect because there is no option to enable auto-sync in the servers > inventory > storage subtab.

B. Configure a storage connection policy to use auto-sync. This is the correct option. To enable auto-sync on the Flex Flash Controller, a storage connection policy must be configured. This can be done in the Cisco UCS Manager GUI under Policies > Storage Connection Policies. From here, select the desired policy and edit the FlexFlash settings to enable auto-sync.

C. Configure a local disk policy for FlexFlash. This option is incorrect because a local disk policy is not required to enable auto-sync on the Flex Flash Controller.

D. Configure a storage policy for FX3S. This option is incorrect because the FX3S is a type of storage array and is not related to the Flex Flash Controller auto-sync function.
