A UNIX administrator notifies the storage administrator that extra LUNs can be seen on a UNIX server. The LUNs appear to be NTFS file systems. Which of the following MOST likely happened?

Failing to restart the iSCSI initiator would result in connectivity failures or stale path states, not the appearance of additional foreign-filesystem LUNs.

Snapshots inherit the same file system type as the source volume and would not cause NTFS volumes to appear on a UNIX host that was not already allocated those LUNs.

In SAN environments, HBA zoning and LUN masking control which hosts are permitted to see specific storage volumes. An incorrect HBA allocation can cause a UNIX host to receive visibility into LUNs that are formatted with NTFS and assigned to Windows servers. This cross-host LUN exposure is a textbook symptom of improper zoning or masking configuration.

Multipathing configures redundant I/O paths to LUNs already assigned to the server; it does not expand LUN visibility to volumes belonging to other hosts.
