Storage Connectivity
Question
A server is having random issues communicating with a Fibre Channel direct attached storage system. Which of the following items should the technician replace FIRST?
Options
- AHost Bus Adapter (HBA)
- BStorage controller
- CFC switch
- DFiber optic cable
Explanation
The question describes random communication issues between a server and direct-attached Fibre Channel storage and asks what component to replace first in troubleshooting.
Common mistakes.
- A. Host Bus Adapter (HBA) failure is less common than a cable issue and requires more downtime and effort to replace, making it a secondary troubleshooting step.
- B. Storage controller failure would likely result in complete loss of access or specific error patterns, rather than just random communication issues, and is a complex component to replace.
- C. FC switch is not applicable here because the question specifies a "direct attached storage system," meaning there is no FC switch involved in the connection path.
