   A storage administrator has mapped a volume to a Linux host via Fibre Channel. The host's HBA driver is loaded, and the FC switch zoning is confirmed correct. However, the administrator does not see the new LUN when running 'lsscsi' on the host. What should the administrator do to verify host access?

   • ACheck the host's /etc/fstab file for the LUN entry.
   • BReboot the host to force it to re-enumerate all SCSI devices.
   • CRun 'rescan-scsi-bus.sh' or use 'echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_host/hostX/scan' to rescan the SCSI bus.
   • DVerify the volume is mapped to the correct host group.

   A database administrator at a financial firm has just installed a new Linux server with two Fibre Channel HBAs. The server will host an Oracle database that must access a 2 TB volume on a PowerStore array. The administrator has the WWN of each HBA printed on a label attached to the server chassis. The storage administrator needs to grant this host access to the volume. What should the storage administrator do first?

   • ACreate a host object in PowerStore Manager using the two WWNs from the HBA labels.
   • BCreate the host object using the server's IP address instead of the WWNs.
   • CMap the volume directly to the two WWNs without creating a host object.
   • DCreate a host group and add the two WWNs to it, then map the volume to the host group.

   A company is deploying a VMware ESXi cluster with two hosts. Each ESXi host has two Fibre Channel HBAs. The storage team is configuring host access on a new PowerStore array. They want to ensure that both ESXi hosts can access the same set of LUNs and that the configuration is easy to manage as the cluster grows. What should the storage administrator do?

   • ACreate two host objects, each with one WWN, and map volumes to both.
   • BCreate two separate host objects, one for each ESXi host, each with its two WWNs, and then create a host group containing both host objects.
   • CCreate a single host object with all four WWNs from both ESXi hosts.
   • DCreate a host group first, then add the four WWNs directly to the host group without creating host objects.
