300-610 · Question #108

An engineer is expanding an existing iSCSI environment and must choose an addressing scheme. When checking one of the devices, the engineer discovers this target device naming used: {prefix}.2019-01.c

The correct answer is C. iSCSI Qualified Name. The target device naming convention shown, with a prefix, date, domain, and unique identifier, indicates the use of an iSCSI Qualified Name (IQN).

Why each option

The target device naming convention shown, with a prefix, date, domain, and unique identifier, indicates the use of an iSCSI Qualified Name (IQN).

ANetwork Address Authority

Network Address Authority (NAA) is a naming format used in Fibre Channel or for SAS devices, typically starting with `naa.6` followed by a unique identifier, which differs from the example given.

BExtended Unique Identifier

Extended Unique Identifier (EUI) is a general format for globally unique hardware identifiers, like an extended MAC address (e.g., EUI-64), but it is not the specific naming convention for iSCSI targets.

CiSCSI Qualified NameCorrect

The provided target device naming format, such as `{{prefix}}.2019-01.com.acme123:00.ffd0cb21.bcb392817521`, is a canonical representation of an iSCSI Qualified Name (IQN). IQNs are standard identifiers used in iSCSI to uniquely identify both initiators and targets globally, making them essential for proper addressing in an iSCSI environment.

DFibre Channel ID

Fibre Channel ID (FCID) is a 24-bit address dynamically assigned to N_Ports in a Fibre Channel fabric for routing within the fabric and is not a globally unique naming convention for storage targets.
