HPE Virtual Connect Solutions v4 — Question 96

A customer ordered a pair of HPE SN3000B 16 Gb Fibre Channel Switches to provide Fibre Channel connectivity between VMware ESXi hosts and HPE 3PAR
StoreServ 8200.
Which adapter is required to support Fibre Channel connectivity from the VMware ESXi hosts to the new switches?

Answer options

• A. HBA
• B. SAS
• C. CNA
• D. NIC

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, HBA, as Host Bus Adapters are specifically designed to connect servers to Fibre Channel networks. Options B (SAS) and D (NIC) are not suitable for Fibre Channel connectivity, and C (CNA) is a converged network adapter that supports both Fibre Channel and Ethernet, but is not specifically required in this scenario.
