NetApp Certified Design Engineer – SAN — Question 10

You have three Windows servers and one Linux server, each with dual-ported HBAs that are connected into a dual fabric.
In this scenario, what is the minimum number of zones that you need to create within each fabric switch?

Answer options

• A. 8
• B. 1
• C. 4
• D. 2

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, because with four servers, each with two HBAs, you will need to create a separate zone for each HBA connection, resulting in a total of 8 zones (4 servers x 2 HBAs each). The other options do not account for the required separation of connections needed for proper communication within the fabric.
