Dorado V6 LUNs have controller ownership.

Question

Options

• ATrue
• BFalse

• A
  28% (15)
• B
  72% (38)

Explanation

Option B is correct because the Huawei Dorado V6 uses an Active-Active (AA) controller architecture, meaning all controllers can simultaneously process I/O for any LUN without one controller being designated as the owner. Controller ownership is a characteristic of Active-Passive or ALUA (Asymmetric Logical Unit Access) architectures, where a LUN is bound to a preferred controller and traffic to a non-owning controller incurs a performance penalty. Option A is wrong because it conflates the Dorado V6 design with older, asymmetric storage models where ownership was required to avoid cross-controller I/O overhead. In the Dorado V6, any controller can serve any LUN with equal performance, making the concept of ownership irrelevant and inapplicable.

Memory tip: Associate "Dorado V6" with "all controllers, all the time" -- because it is fully Active-Active, ownership does not exist, so any answer claiming LUNs belong to a controller is describing a different, older architecture.
