Refer to the exhibit.
Server 1 fails to connect to the storage array over the Storage Area Network (SAN) of the Cisco MDS 9000 Series Switch. The requirements are to redesign the storage network and keep these considerations in mind:
• The traffic from each of the servers must be redundant and isolated.
• The design must tolerate hardware and software failures and upgrades of SAN fabric devices.
Which action must be taken to meet these requirements?
Placing an additional Fibre Channel switch to create two physically independent storage fabrics ensures redundancy and isolation for the traffic from each server. This design can tolerate hardware and software failures, as a failure in one fabric will not impact the other, thus maintaining continuous connectivity. This approach meets the requirement for redundant paths and isolating traffic while supporting non-disruptive upgrades and failure tolerance for SAN fabric devices.
Answer D.
Agree, by creating two separate physical fabrics, failure in one of the fabrics won't disrupt communication on the second one.
