Dell EMC Specialist – Implementation Engineer, PS Series — Question 20

A customer has a dual controller system, two independent Fibre Channel switches, and six servers all multipathed. How many zones should be present on each for the SAN to run properly in Virtual Port Mode?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

For a SAN to operate effectively in Virtual Port Mode with a dual controller and multiple servers, each Fibre Channel switch must have zones configured for every server connection. Since there are six servers, and each server requires zones on both switches, a total of 16 zones is needed for proper configuration, making option D the correct answer. The other options do not provide sufficient zones for the given configuration.
