Question 70

A change board is planning a verified response to this server event: An operations team swaps a failed RAID member and assumes protection is restored before the controller completes rebuild and consistency checks. For the Hot spare eligibility and rebuild supervision issue, which response elements belong in the approved plan? Select TWO answers.

  1. Configure consistent WWPN zoning and LUN masking on independent fabrics, then enable supported host multipath policies.
  2. The correct mounted filesystem reflects the new usable capacity without data loss and application writes succeed.
  3. Provide compatible spare capacity and interface, replace the failed member, monitor the rebuild and verify array redundancy after completion.
  4. Declare an array healthy as soon as a replacement disk's activity light turns on.
  5. Examine controller event logs, physical drive size/type, spare assignment, rebuild progress and media-error counters.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

An array may remain vulnerable while degraded or rebuilding; a spare is useful only if the controller can use it. A successful outcome is: The rebuild completes without new errors and the controller reports all expected redundancy restored.

E:

These observations investigate the exact Hot spare eligibility and rebuild supervision failure rather than unrelated components. The expected technical relationship is: An array may remain vulnerable while degraded or rebuilding; a spare is useful only if the controller can use it.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That option would configure consistent WWPN zoning and LUN masking on independent fabrics, then enable supported host multipath policies, but it addresses a different concern. An array may remain vulnerable while degraded or rebuilding; a spare is useful only if the controller can use it.

B:

This statement concerns Filesystem growth after LUN expansion, a different Server+ technical control. It does not directly address the reported Hot spare eligibility and rebuild supervision fault or prove its repair. For this incident, the relevant principle is: An array may remain vulnerable while degraded or rebuilding; a spare is useful only if the controller can use it.

D:

This is the unsafe shortcut in the Hot spare eligibility and rebuild supervision scenario, not a justified remediation or diagnostic. Discriminate using: Examine controller event logs, physical drive size/type, spare assignment, rebuild progress and media-error counters.

Question 71

A server administrator is investigating a server issue involving fibre channel san zoning and multipath: An ESXi cluster sees only one storage path because a new host's WWPN was omitted from the second fabric's zoning configuration. The change must address the documented fault without creating unrelated risk. Which corrective action is most appropriate? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Select enterprise SSD endurance for the expected write volume and monitor NVMe health, utilization and replacement thresholds.
  2. Expose every LUN to every host and assume extra FC cables automatically create safe paths.
  3. Configure consistent WWPN zoning and LUN masking on independent fabrics, then enable supported host multipath policies.
  4. Choose a RAID level that meets measured capacity, write profile and disk-failure tolerance requirements, and retain independent backups.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

SAN high availability requires correctly presented LUNs over multiple independent usable fabric paths, not redundant cables alone. For this case, An ESXi cluster sees only one storage path because a new host's WWPN was omitted from the second fabric's zoning configuration.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Question 72

While reviewing the CompTIA Server+ administration incident, a technician learns: An ESXi cluster sees only one storage path because a new host's WWPN was omitted from the second fabric's zoning configuration. Which principle most directly explains how to address the described issue safely? Select ONE best answer.

  1. SAN high availability requires correctly presented LUNs over multiple independent usable fabric paths, not redundant cables alone.
  2. An array may remain vulnerable while degraded or rebuilding; a spare is useful only if the controller can use it.
  3. Block-device capacity, partition or logical-volume capacity and filesystem capacity are separate layers that must be reconciled.
  4. Stable iSCSI performance and resilience depend on end-to-end network path design and host multipathing, not simply the number of NICs.

Explanation

  1. Check HBA WWPNs, zone membership, array masking, fabric logins and host multipath path states.
  2. Expose every LUN to every host and assume extra FC cables automatically create safe paths.
