   A storage administrator is setting up a new Linux host to access a LUN on a PowerMax. The host's HBA WWN is 10:00:00:00:c9:29:44:33. The administrator has created a storage group and a masking view. What is the final step to ensure the host can see the LUN?

   • AReboot the PowerMax array to apply the masking view.
   • BInstall the PowerMax host agent on the Linux server.
   • CChange the host's HBA WWN to match the PowerMax port's WWN.
   • DZone the host's WWN to the PowerMax front-end port in the SAN switch.

   What is the purpose of NPIV (N_Port ID Virtualization) in a PowerMax environment?

   • ATo replace zoning
   • BTo encrypt data on the port
   • CTo increase the physical speed of the port
   • DTo allow multiple virtual ports to share a single physical FC port

   A company is deploying a new PowerMax array. They have a mix of workloads: a mission-critical database that requires Fibre Channel, and a test/dev environment that uses iSCSI. The administrator is planning the front-end port configuration. What is the most appropriate way to configure the ports?

   • ADedicate specific front-end ports for Fibre Channel and other specific ports for iSCSI, and configure them accordingly.
   • BUse only iSCSI for all workloads, as it is simpler to manage.
   • CUse only Fibre Channel for all workloads, as it is faster than iSCSI.
   • DConfigure all front-end ports to support both Fibre Channel and iSCSI simultaneously.

   An administrator is planning a new PowerMax deployment. They want to use port groups to simplify management. What is the primary purpose of a port group?

   • ATo enable NPIV on a set of ports.
   • BTo assign a specific WWN to a group of ports for easier identification.
   • CTo group multiple front-end ports into a single logical entity that can be used in a masking view, providing multiple paths to the same storage.
   • DTo combine multiple physical ports into a single high-bandwidth logical port.
