For testing purposes, your customer decides to use FC on a single-node ONTAP cluster. There is only one host that the customer expects to use. High availability is not a concern for this test. The customer connects the host directly to the ONTAP node. The LUN is set up, and the igroup is configured. When the customer tries to attach to the LUN from the host, the LUN is not seen by the host.
Which statement is correct in this scenario?
In a Fibre Channel (FC) SAN configuration, direct-attached configurations are not supported, meaning that an FC switch is necessary to facilitate communication between the host and the ONTAP node. This ensures proper management and accessibility of the LUN by the host.
FC SAN configurations do NOT support direct-attached configurations. This means that every FC SAN configuration contains at least one (FC switch in the Fabric)
Direct-connection to nodes from hosts with FC is not supported, NPIV is required and this requires a switch to be used. https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap/san-admin/san-provisioning-fc-concept.html#how-fc-target-nodes-connect-to-the-network
