A system administrator has been tasked to create a new LUN for a system that will store sensitive information. The system connects to the SAN via switched fabric. Which of the following can the system

Hardware initiators are physical components (like HBA cards) that allow a server to connect to a SAN, but they do not inherently improve confidentiality within the fabric.

Fiber Channel zoning is a method used in a SAN fabric to logically segment the network, controlling which initiators (servers) can access which targets (storage arrays or specific ports). By creating zones, administrators can ensure that only authorized servers can 'see' and potentially access the LUNs on storage devices, thus enhancing data confidentiality and security within the fabric.

LUN masking is typically performed at the storage array level to restrict host access to specific LUNs, not within the switched fabric itself, though both contribute to storage security.

Random SCSI IDs are identifiers for devices on a SCSI bus and have no direct bearing on improving data confidentiality within a Fiber Channel SAN fabric.
