Which technology allows centralized storage services to be shared across different VSANs?
The correct answer is A. IVR. IVR (Inter-VSAN Routing) allows traffic to be routed between different VSANs within a Fibre Channel fabric. Without IVR, VSANs are completely isolated from one another by design. IVR creates virtual zones that span VSAN boundaries, enabling a centralized storage resource (such…

Explanation
IVR (Inter-VSAN Routing) allows traffic to be routed between different VSANs within a Fibre Channel fabric. Without IVR, VSANs are completely isolated from one another by design. IVR creates virtual zones that span VSAN boundaries, enabling a centralized storage resource (such as a tape library) to be accessed by hosts in multiple VSANs without merging or collapsing those VSANs. FSPF is a path-selection protocol, FICON is a mainframe storage protocol, and SANTap is a Cisco data-replication service - none of them bridge VSAN boundaries.
