The storage system has been provisioned and a rescan of the devices has been performed within the operating system. A technician sees twice as many devices than were provisioned. Which of the followin

A loose fiber connection would likely result in fewer, or no, devices being detected, not twice as many.

Incorrect HBA zoning would either prevent access to devices or expose incorrect devices, not typically result in seeing precisely double the expected devices.

When a server has multiple HBA connections to a storage system, it will detect the same LUN through each path; multipathing software consolidates these redundant paths into a single logical device, preventing the OS from seeing duplicates. Without multipathing, each path to the LUN is presented as a separate device.

Rescanning multiple times does not inherently create duplicate device entries if multipathing is properly configured; the OS would still present unique LUNs, not multiples of the same LUN.
