HPE Composable Infrastructure Solutions — Question 51

Your customer purchased a ProLiant server that will be connected to a Primera A650 array. They configured Word Wide Name (WWN) based zoning between the two devices on a Storage Area Network (SAN) fabric.

What advantage does this zoning type provide?

Answer options

• A. Zones can be defined using the switch Domain ID and port number to uniquely identify zone members
• B. Retaining the zoning definition even when the device is moved to a different port or switch in the fabric
• C. Zoning is auto configured which makes the devices connected to the fabric plug and play
• D. Ease of configuration and the zoning definition remains intact even if an HBA or target controller is replaced

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because WWN-based zoning retains the zoning definition regardless of device relocation within the SAN fabric, ensuring continuous access. Options A and C misrepresent the capabilities of WWN zoning, while D, although partially correct, does not emphasize the specific advantage of device mobility that option B highlights.
