SG0-001 · Question #481
Another server needs to be added to an FC SAN and the server must provide load balancing. Which of the following must be installed in the server?
The correct answer is B. HBA (2 port). To add a server to an FC SAN with load balancing, a dual-port HBA is required to establish multiple paths for redundancy and performance.

Why each option
To add a server to an FC SAN with load balancing, a dual-port HBA is required to establish multiple paths for redundancy and performance.
A single-port HBA provides only one path to the SAN, which does not allow for load balancing or redundancy.
A Host Bus Adapter (HBA) connects a server to a Fibre Channel (FC) SAN. For load balancing across the SAN, multiple active paths are required, which necessitates a minimum of two ports on the HBA to connect to the FC fabric.
A NIC (Network Interface Card) is used for Ethernet network connectivity, not for connecting to a Fibre Channel SAN.
