A server administrator reports that one of the four paths to an E-Series LUN is showing as 'failed' in the host's multipath status. The other three paths are active. The administrator has already verified that the cable is securely connected. What should the administrator do next to isolate the issue?

Replace the HBA in the host immediately.

Change the LUN mapping to use only the active paths.

Check the SAN switch logs for port errors or CRC errors on the corresponding port.

Reboot the host to reset the multipath driver.

What is the first step in a systematic troubleshooting workflow for a multipathing issue?

Reconfigure the multipath software

Check the storage system's event logs

Verify physical connectivity of cables and ports

What SAN configuration error can lead to multipathing issues?

Setting the wrong IP address on the management port

Using a different subnet for the host's management network

Configuring the switch to use a different domain ID

Incorrect zoning that prevents the host from seeing all controller ports

Which symptom commonly indicates a multipathing issue in a host-to-E-Series connection?

The host reports I/O errors or timeouts on storage devices

The host's CPU usage is consistently at 100%

The storage system's fans run at higher speed

The storage system's LEDs blink in a specific pattern
