NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – ONTAP v3 — Question 29

An administrator enabled the FCP protocol on an SVM and created a boot LUN for a Windows Server 2019 server host. The host is attached using multiple paths to the storage SVM. After correctly adding the LUN to the igroup and setting its LUN ID to 1, the host is unable to boot using the installed FC HBA.
In this scenario, which statement is correct?

Answer options

• A. During the boot process, using FCP is not supported by NetApp.
• B. During the boot process, using FCP is not supported by Microsoft.
• C. The LUN ID must be set to 0.
• D. The LUN ID must be set to 255.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because, in FC boot scenarios, the LUN ID should be set to 0 for the host to recognize it as a bootable device. Options A and B are incorrect as they misrepresent the support of FCP by NetApp and Microsoft. Options D is also incorrect because a LUN ID of 255 is not valid for booting purposes.
