   A storage administrator is troubleshooting a LUN visibility issue. A host's HBA WWN is 10:00:00:90:fa:12:34:56. The administrator has confirmed the masking view is correct and the host is zoned to the array port. The host still cannot see the LUN. Upon further inspection, the administrator finds the host is presenting a different WWN than expected. What is the most likely cause?

   • AThe host's HBA is using NPIV to present a different WWN to the array.
   • BThe array's front-end port has a different WWN than expected.
   • CThe SAN switch is assigning a different WWN to the host.
   • DThe masking view is using the wrong storage group.

   What is the role of LUN masking on a PowerMax?

   • ATo control which hosts can access specific storage volumes
   • BTo configure the WWN of the port
   • CTo define which ports are in the same zone
   • DTo set the speed of the port

   An administrator is configuring a new PowerMax array. They are setting up the front-end Fibre Channel ports. The ports will connect to a SAN fabric with a mix of 8 Gbps and 16 Gbps switches. What is the correct topology setting for these front-end ports?

   • APoint-to-point
   • BFibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
   • CAuto-negotiate
   • DArbitrated loop

   A large enterprise is consolidating its server environment. They have 200 physical hosts that need to connect to a PowerMax array. To reduce the number of physical HBAs and cables, they plan to use NPIV on their new Brocade switches. What is the primary benefit of this approach?

   • AIt increases the maximum speed of a single Fibre Channel link from 32 Gbps to 64 Gbps.
   • BIt allows the storage administrator to zone a single physical port to multiple storage ports without a switch.
   • CIt provides a direct connection between the host and the storage array, bypassing the SAN fabric.
   • DIt allows multiple virtual HBAs (WWNs) to share a single physical HBA port, reducing the number of physical ports and cables required.

   What is the purpose of zoning in a Fibre Channel SAN that connects to a PowerMax?

   • ATo set port speeds
   • BTo encrypt data in transit
   • CTo restrict which hosts can communicate with which storage ports
   • DTo assign LUNs to hosts
