Why each option
The PSA framework handles I/O queueing to logical storage devices and manages the full lifecycle of physical path discovery and removal.
The PSA coordinates I/O queueing to logical devices such as LUNs, working with Path Selection Plugins to determine which physical path each I/O request traverses to reach the storage target.
This is incorrect because the PSA handles both path discovery and path removal - limiting it to discovery only omits half of its path management responsibility.
The PSA is responsible for the complete physical path lifecycle - it discovers new paths when storage is connected and removes paths when they become unavailable or storage is disconnected, maintaining an accurate path inventory for the host.
The PSA queues I/O to logical devices such as LUNs and datastores, not specifically to FC HBAs, which are physical hardware adapters managed at a lower layer.
