HP0-J73 · Question #67
Which statements are true when zoning an HP MSA P2000 G3 FC array into a fabric? (Select two.)
The correct answer is A. The array can be in multiple operating system zones. C. Zoning is required for all operating systems that access the array. When zoning the HP MSA P2000 G3 FC array, zoning is required for all accessing operating systems, and the array can participate in zones for multiple OS environments simultaneously.

Why each option
When zoning the HP MSA P2000 G3 FC array, zoning is required for all accessing operating systems, and the array can participate in zones for multiple OS environments simultaneously.
The HP MSA P2000 G3 FC array supports multi-OS environments and can be included in separate fabric zones for different operating systems, allowing controlled access from heterogeneous hosts while maintaining isolation between them.
Overlapping storage port zones are not recommended and can cause configuration conflicts, unpredictable behavior, and access issues on HP MSA FC arrays.
FC SAN zoning is a mandatory configuration requirement for any operating system accessing the MSA P2000 G3 FC array, as it ensures proper host-to-storage path isolation, prevents unauthorized access, and is required by HP for a supported configuration.
Zoning is required even in single operating system environments to properly define access paths, maintain fabric stability, and comply with HP's supported configuration requirements.
The HP MSA P2000 G3 FC does not specifically require port-based zoning - WWN-based (worldwide name) zoning is the recommended and more commonly used method for this array.
