CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) — Question 290

A systems administrator needs to integrate a new storage array into the company's existing storage pool. The administrator wants to ensure that the server is able to detect the new storage array. Which of the following commands should the administrator use to ensure that the new storage array is presented to the systems?

Answer options

• A. lsscsi
• B. lsusb
• C. lsipc
• D. lshw

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct command is 'lsscsi', which lists all SCSI devices and is specifically useful for detecting storage arrays. The other commands, such as 'lsusb', focus on USB devices, 'lsipc' provides information about interprocess communication, and 'lshw' gives a comprehensive overview of hardware but is not specific to storage recognition.
