Dell EMC Associate – Information Storage and Management v4 — Question 57

What accurately describes an iSCSI HBA?

Answer options

• A. Performs both iSCSI and TCP/IP processing
• B. Requires CPU cycles for TCP/IP processing
• C. Requires a software adapter with built-in functionality
• D. Enables transmission of data through iSCSI tunneling

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Option A is correct because an iSCSI HBA is designed to manage both iSCSI and TCP/IP processing, allowing efficient data transfers. Option B is incorrect as an iSCSI HBA offloads processing from the CPU. Option C is also wrong since an iSCSI HBA is a hardware adapter and does not rely on software. Lastly, option D is misleading because while iSCSI can use tunneling, the primary function of an HBA is not centered on tunneling.
