   A storage administrator is adding a new ESXi host to an existing PowerStore environment that uses Fibre Channel. The administrator has created a host entry in PowerStore and added the host's WWNs to an initiator group. The host can see the PowerStore volumes, but the datastores are not showing up in vCenter. What is the most likely cause of this issue?

   • AThe PowerStore array's storage protocol is misconfigured for the new host.
   • BThe initiator group is missing the host's iSCSI IQN.
   • CThe host's WWNs are not correctly zoned on the FC switch.
   • DThe datastores have not been mounted to the new host in vCenter.

   A storage administrator is creating a new VMFS datastore on a PowerStore array for a VMware cluster. The cluster uses Fibre Channel connectivity. The administrator has created a volume on PowerStore and mapped it to the host's initiator group. What is the next step to create the VMFS datastore?

   • ACreate an NFS datastore on the PowerStore volume and mount it to the ESXi hosts.
   • BFormat the PowerStore volume with the ext4 filesystem before presenting it to the ESXi hosts.
   • CMount the PowerStore volume as a raw device mapping (RDM) to the ESXi hosts.
   • DRescan the storage adapters on the ESXi hosts and then create a new VMFS datastore using the discovered LUN.

   A storage administrator is configuring a new PowerStore array for a VMware environment that uses NVMe over Fibre Channel (NVMe/FC). The ESXi hosts have been updated to support NVMe/FC, and the FC switches are NVMe-capable. What must the administrator configure on PowerStore to ensure the hosts can discover and use the NVMe/FC volumes?

   • AEnable iSCSI on the PowerStore array and configure the ESXi hosts to use the iSCSI adapter for NVMe/FC.
   • BCreate a new VMFS datastore on the PowerStore array and manually map it to the ESXi hosts via the FC switch.
   • CConfigure the FC switches to enable FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) for NVMe/FC traffic.
   • DCreate a host entry in PowerStore with the host's NVMe qualified name (NQN) and add it to an initiator group.
