HP0-J73 Question #105: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is D: ISCSI initiator failover. Enabling iSCSI initiator failover on a Windows host configures iSCSI sessions to automatically redirect over an alternate network port when the primary port fails.
Question
A storage administrator needs highly available connectivity from a Microsoft Windows host to an iSCSI storage array. The administrator needs to ensure that the data is still available in the event of a network port failure. What must the administrator enable on the Windows host?
Options
- AMPIO
- BNIC teaming
- Cstorage cluster services
- DISCSI initiator failover
Explanation
Enabling iSCSI initiator failover on a Windows host configures iSCSI sessions to automatically redirect over an alternate network port when the primary port fails.
Common mistakes.
- A. MPIO (Multipath I/O) is a general multipathing framework requiring a Device Specific Module and additional configuration steps, making it a broader infrastructure component rather than the specific iSCSI initiator-level failover setting.
- B. NIC teaming provides link-level aggregation or failover between physical NICs at the network layer but does not manage iSCSI session continuity or storage path failover when a port fails.
- C. Storage cluster services provide shared storage clustering between multiple Windows hosts, which is unrelated to ensuring a single host maintains its iSCSI connection after a local port failure.
Concept tested. iSCSI initiator failover configuration for port redundancy
