The switches in one fabric, in a redundant FC environment, were recently moved. A subset of hosts lost all connectivity to their SAN-attached disk resources during the move. Which of the following sho

Quiescing applications might be part of a larger maintenance plan, but it does not directly verify the underlying SAN path redundancy necessary to prevent connectivity loss during a fabric component move.

Ensuring the MPIO version is up-to-date is a general best practice for system health, but it doesn't directly confirm the active status and proper configuration of redundant paths, which is the immediate concern for maintaining connectivity.

In a redundant Fibre Channel setup, hosts utilize multiple paths (often via MPIO) across different fabrics to ensure high availability. Verifying that all paths through the remaining fabric are active and functional before moving components in the other fabric ensures continuous connectivity for hosts by allowing I/O to failover or continue seamlessly.

Enabling all switches in the redundant fabric is a standard operational state and doesn't address the specific pre-check needed before taking a subset of switches offline or moving them in one fabric.
