An engineer must implement an iSCSI storage connectivity in the existing Cisco UCS environment. The environment is based on Cisco UCS С-Series rack server, Cisco Nexus 1000V Series Switches, and VMware ESXi hosts. The implementation must meet these requirements:
• Provide multipathing and high availability in the event of a critical path failure.
• Be cost-effective and not require the purchase of new equipment.
Which two components must be selected to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)
To provide multipathing and high availability for iSCSI storage connectivity in the existing setup, a software iSCSI adapter is essential because it facilitates the connection between the server and storage over the IP network without the need for extra hardware, thereby remaining cost-effective. Storage binding is another necessary component as it helps in managing storage resources and paths, ensuring that if one path fails, alternate paths are available, thus providing high availability. These two components meet all the requirements without any need for purchasing new equipment.
A & B as with the iSCSI adapters on the UCS server and uplink pinning on the ESXi hosts, multipathing and high availability can be provided for iSCSI storage connectivity
