SG0-001 · Question #589
An administrator needs to assign LUN IDs for two new LUNs from the same storage array. The first LUN is being presented as LUN 0 to multiple hosts. The second LUN is being dedicated to a single server
The correct answer is B. 1. When assigning LUN IDs to new LUNs, each LUN presented to a host or host group must have a unique identifier to prevent conflicts and ensure proper storage access.

Why each option
When assigning LUN IDs to new LUNs, each LUN presented to a host or host group must have a unique identifier to prevent conflicts and ensure proper storage access.
LUN ID 0 is already assigned to the first LUN and cannot be reused for a different LUN presented to the same host simultaneously.
LUN IDs must be unique for each LUN presented to a given host or host group to avoid conflicts and ensure proper identification by the operating system. Since LUN 0 is already in use by the first LUN for the hosts in question, the next available and lowest unique LUN ID is 1.
While LUN ID 2 is a valid choice, it is not the lowest possible LUN ID available after LUN 0 has been assigned.
LUN ID 16 is a valid identifier but is unnecessarily high and not the lowest available option in this scenario.
