Question
Refer to the exhibit. A midsize company is running a traditional iSCSI storage infrastructure on a set of Cisco UCS B200 M6 servers, which are connected to a Cisco MDS 9124 SAN fabric. The infrastructure includes a VMware ESXi supervisor, and each host creates iSCSI/VMHBA adapters to link the physical NICs to their respective VMkernel ports. Which action must the engineering team take to improve the performance and scalability of the iSCSI storage infrastructure?
Exhibit
Options
- AImplement Multipathing Protocol on the ESXi supervisors.

Explanation
Enabling iSCSI multipathing on the ESXi hosts lets each VMkernel iSCSI adapter use all available NIC–network paths in parallel - boosting throughput, providing automatic failover, and improving scalability. Neither LACP nor generic NIC teaming applies to software iSCSI; MPIO is the VMware-supported mechanism.
