Which two components of Port Group Policy, indicates that the initiator and target connectivity is set while provisioning a volume to an ESXi host using iSCSI connectivity? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• AActive
• BIQN
• CICompliant
• DMPIO

• A
  77% (17)
• B
  9% (2)
• D
  14% (3)

Explanation

Active and ICompliant together confirm that iSCSI connectivity has been properly established between the ESXi host (initiator) and the storage array (target) during volume provisioning. Active signals that the iSCSI sessions between initiator and target are live and operational, while ICompliant (Initiator Compliant) confirms the initiator's configuration meets the port group policy requirements - both must be present to validate a successful provisioning setup.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (IQN): The iSCSI Qualified Name is simply the unique identifier assigned to an iSCSI initiator or target - it's a naming convention, not a policy status indicator.
• D (MPIO): Multipath I/O is a path-redundancy technology; it describes how traffic flows across multiple paths, not whether the initiator-target connection itself is properly set.

Memory tip: Think "AC power" - just like AC power means something is turned on and running correctly, Active + Compliant (ICompliant) means your iSCSI connection is "powered on" (live) and "wired correctly" (meeting policy). If either is missing, the provisioning isn't truly ready.
