   A storage administrator is configuring a Dell Unity array for a Windows host that will use iSCSI. The host has two network adapters connected to two different storage processors. The administrator wants to ensure that the host can use both paths for I/O and that if one path fails, the other continues to serve I/O. What should the administrator configure on the Windows host?

   • AConfigure the iSCSI initiator to use a single path.
   • BEnable MPIO (Multipath I/O) and add the iSCSI target as a supported device.
   • CDisable the firewall on the host to allow iSCSI traffic.
   • DUse the host's built-in NIC teaming to combine the two adapters.

   A storage administrator needs to provision a new LUN on a Dell Unity array for a cluster of two application servers. Both servers must have simultaneous read/write access to the same LUN. The administrator wants to simplify management by grouping the servers. What is the recommended approach?

   • ACreate two separate LUNs and present one to each server, then replicate data between them.
   • BCreate a LUN and manually add each server's initiator to the LUN's ACL without grouping.
   • CCreate a single host object with both servers' initiators and assign it to the LUN.
   • DCreate a host group containing both servers, then create a LUN and add the host group to the LUN's access control list.

   A company is deploying a new database server that will connect to a Dell Unity XT array. The server is located in the same data center and will be connected to the storage network via dual 32 Gb Fibre Channel ports. The storage team wants to ensure that the database server can use both paths simultaneously for load balancing and failover. Which host access configuration should the storage administrator implement?

   • ACreate a single host object with one WWN and rely on the array's automatic failover.
   • BCreate a host object with both WWNs and enable ALUA on the Unity array.
   • CCreate two separate host objects, one for each WWN, and assign both to the same LUN.
   • DCreate a host group and add the database server's IQN to the group.
