Dell EMC Specialist – Implementation Engineer, PS Series — Question 19

Why should Legacy Port Mode be selected rather than Virtual Port Mode on an SC Series storage array?

Answer options

• A. Virtual Port Mode requires NPIV support
• B. Legacy Port Mode is easier to set up and more reliable
• C. Virtual Port Mode is difficult to set up
• D. Virtual Port Mode does not support ALUA

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because Virtual Port Mode can be complex to configure, which may lead to issues if not set up correctly. Option A is incorrect as NPIV support is a requirement for Virtual Port Mode but does not inherently make it difficult. Option B, while true about Legacy Port Mode, does not directly answer the question concerning setup difficulty. Option D is also incorrect because while Virtual Port Mode may have limitations, the primary concern is the complexity of the setup.
