A host is connected to a Unity array via Fibre Channel. The host can see the LUN, but I/O operations are failing with errors. The LUN access state in Unisphere shows 'Ready'. What is the most likely cause of the I/O failure?

The host's initiator is not registered in Unisphere.

A path issue such as a faulty cable or a misconfigured zone that causes intermittent connectivity.

The LUN is not masked to the host, despite the 'Ready' state.

The storage processor is offline, but the LUN is still accessible via the other SP.

A LUN is masked to a host group with three hosts. In Unisphere, the LUN access state for the group is 'Ready'. What can be concluded about the hosts?

The LUN is ready on one storage processor only.

All hosts have all their paths to the LUN ready.

At least one host has a ready path, but the others may not.

All three hosts have at least one ready path to the LUN.

A storage administrator has just masked a new LUN to a host group containing two hosts. In Unisphere, the LUN's access state shows 'Mixed' for the group. What does this indicate?

Both hosts have at least one path to the LUN, but the paths are not optimized.

One host in the group has a ready path to the LUN, while the other host does not yet have a ready path.

The LUN is being formatted and will become ready shortly.

The LUN is ready on one storage processor but not on the other.

An administrator is configuring a new Windows host to connect to a Unity array over iSCSI. The host's iSCSI initiator service is running, and the Unity storage network is reachable. However, the host cannot discover the Unity target portal. What is the most likely missing configuration step?

Add the Unity storage processor's iSCSI IP address to the target portal list in the host's iSCSI Initiator.

Create a LUN and mask it to the host before target discovery will succeed.

Register the host's IQN in Unisphere before the host can discover targets.

Configure the host's iSCSI initiator to use CHAP authentication before connecting to the portal.

What does the 'Mixed' access state indicate for a host in Unisphere?

The host is in the process of being registered

The host has multiple initiators, and some are ready while others are not

The host is connected to both Fibre Channel and iSCSI

The host has access to both LUNs and file systems
