HP0-J73 · Question #226

A customer is planning to implement an HP StoreVirtual 4330FC Storage System. Which type of cable do they need to connect the storage system to the fabric?

The correct answer is B. iSCSi. The HP StoreVirtual 4330 is an iSCSI-based storage system that connects to the network fabric over standard Ethernet using iSCSI, not Fibre Channel.

Why each option

The HP StoreVirtual 4330 is an iSCSI-based storage system that connects to the network fabric over standard Ethernet using iSCSI, not Fibre Channel.

ASAS

SAS is a direct-attach protocol used for drive-to-controller or JBOD connections, not for connecting a storage system to a shared storage network fabric.

BiSCSiCorrect

The HP StoreVirtual 4330 uses iSCSI as its native host connectivity protocol, transmitting SCSI commands encapsulated in IP packets over standard Ethernet infrastructure. Connecting it to the storage network fabric requires an iSCSI connection rather than any Fibre Channel cable type, as the system lacks native FC host ports.

CSC Fibre Channel

SC Fibre Channel is a legacy FC connector type used in older FC SANs; the StoreVirtual 4330 is not an FC device and does not use SC connectors for fabric connectivity.

DLC Fibre Channel

LC Fibre Channel connectors are used with modern SFP-based FC transceivers to connect FC storage arrays to FC fabrics; they are not applicable to an iSCSI-based storage system.
