Discovery and requirements gathering

A company is planning a SAN for a new Dell storage array. The design must support high availability and avoid a single point of failure in the network path. Which planning approach should be used?

Connect the array directly to one server for simplicity.

Use a single switch with multiple line cards.

Use a single high-end switch with redundant power supplies.

Deploy dual redundant SAN switches and connect the array to both.

A storage administrator is planning the integration of a Dell storage array into an existing SAN. The array will be used for both production and backup data. The team wants to ensure that backup traffic does not impact production performance. Which planning approach is most effective?

Use the same path for both to simplify management.

Schedule backups during peak hours to reduce idle time.

Use separate physical paths or VLANs for production and backup traffic.

Disable flow control on the backup path.
