Which two tasks does the Pluggable Storage Architecture (PSA) perform? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is A. Handles I/O queueing to the logical devices. C. Handles physical path discovery and removal. The PSA framework handles I/O queueing to logical storage devices and manages the full lifecycle of physical path discovery and removal.

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.

AHandles I/O queueing to the logical devices.Correct

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.

BHandles physical path discovery, but is not involved in the removal.

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.

CHandles physical path discovery and removal.Correct

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.

DHandles I/O queueing to FC storage HBAs.

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.
