In an active-active (HyperMetro) network, which network types are supported between hosts and storage arrays? (Multiple choice)
The correct answer is A. HyperMetro SAN supports the FC network B. HyperMetro SAN supports the IP network. D. HyperMetro NAS supports the IP network. HyperMetro SAN (block storage) is protocol-flexible, supporting both FC (Fibre Channel) and IP-based connectivity (e.g., iSCSI), making A and B correct. HyperMetro NAS (file storage) communicates over IP networks using file protocols like NFS or CIFS/SMB, confirming D. Option C…

Explanation
HyperMetro SAN (block storage) is protocol-flexible, supporting both FC (Fibre Channel) and IP-based connectivity (e.g., iSCSI), making A and B correct. HyperMetro NAS (file storage) communicates over IP networks using file protocols like NFS or CIFS/SMB, confirming D.
Option C is wrong because NAS is inherently IP-based - it serves file-level access over TCP/IP, not block-level access over FC. FC is a block storage protocol and has no role in NAS architecture.
Memory tip: Think of the acronyms - NAS = Network Attached Storage, where "Network" means IP network. SAN = Storage Area Network, which can run over FC or IP (iSCSI). If it's NAS, it's always IP; if it's SAN, it can be either.
