What needs to be enabled on an ONTAP SMB share to increase data throughput and fault tolerance for Microsoft SQL Server databases?

Answer options

• A. Multi-channel
• B. Round-robin
• C. Initiator group
• D. Multipathing

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Enabling Multi-channel on an ONTAP SMB share allows for multiple connections to be established, which increases data throughput and provides redundancy, thus enhancing fault tolerance. The other options, while related to network and data management, do not specifically provide the same benefits for SQL Server databases in this context.
