   A storage administrator has created a host definition in PowerStore for an ESXi host and mapped a volume to it. The host still does not see the volume. Which verification step should the administrator perform first?

   • ARescan the ESXi host's storage adapters to detect newly mapped LUNs.
   • BVerify that the volume is in a healthy state and not in a 'degraded' status.
   • CReboot the ESXi host to refresh the storage stack.
   • DCheck the PowerStore host's initiator WWPNs to ensure they match the FC adapter.

   An administrator has connected an ESXi host to a PowerStore system using Fibre Channel. The host sees the storage ports but cannot see any LUNs. Which step should the administrator take to ensure the host can discover the PowerStore volumes?

   • AAssign a new storage resource to the host using the PowerStore UI and then rescan the host.
   • BEnable the software iSCSI adapter on the host and add the PowerStore iSCSI target IP.
   • CVerify that the host's WWPNs are zoned to the PowerStore FC target ports and that the host is defined in PowerStore with the correct initiators.
   • DChange the host's FC adapter speed to match the PowerStore port speed.
