Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID) — Question 93

A network engineer is designing a Cisco Hyperflex infrastructure. The infrastructure will be connected to an external SAN fiber channel array and must support Microsoft clustering.

Which storage connectivity method must be used to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Fibre Channel over Ethernet
• B. Internet Small Computer Systems Interface
• C. raw device mapping
• D. server message block

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, raw device mapping, as it allows for direct access to the storage without a filesystem, making it ideal for clustering scenarios. The other options, such as Fibre Channel over Ethernet and Internet Small Computer Systems Interface, do not provide the necessary raw access for clustering, and server message block is primarily used for file sharing rather than block-level access.
