Implementing Cisco Storage Area Networking (DCSAN) — Question 9

A storage engineer is troubleshooting a Cisco MDS switch upgrade issue. What prevents the completion of a non-disruptive upgrade?

Answer options

• A. The Fibre Channel host initiator is connected.
• B. The Fibre Channel storage target is connected.
• C. The Cisco Fabric Services operation in progress.
• D. The Fibre Channel and FCoE storage targets are connected.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The presence of a connected Fibre Channel storage target (option B) can prevent the completion of a non-disruptive upgrade because it may interfere with the upgrade process. Other options, such as a connected Fibre Channel host initiator (A) or ongoing Cisco Fabric Services operations (C), do not have the same impact on the upgrade. Option D, while mentioning both storage target types, does not specify the critical nature of the Fibre Channel storage target in this context.
