When Server A accesses an FC based storage array, it experiences a coredump. Server B accesses the same array, and does not experience this issue. Which of the following should the administrator check

A faulty cable would typically result in connectivity issues or I/O errors, not a server coredump, and is less likely to be the root cause of a coredump if the array is functional for Server B.

If the switch firmware were faulty, it would likely affect both Server A and Server B, or cause more general network disruptions, not just a coredump on one specific server.

Incorrect zoning would prevent Server A from seeing the array or specific LUNs, leading to access errors, but generally not a server-level coredump.

When Server A experiences a coredump while accessing an FC array, but Server B accessing the same array does not, it strongly suggests a problem with Server A's specific hardware or software components. Outdated, incorrect, or corrupted Host Bus Adapter (HBA) drivers are a common cause of system instability, including coredumps, when interacting with storage arrays, making them the first item to check.
