You are configuring a FAS8300 HA pair running ONTAP 9.8 with two hosts that require SAN LUNs. The cluster is in a secure data center without switches.
In this scenario, which block protocol is supported on the hosts?

In this scenario, iSCSI is the block protocol supported on the hosts. iSCSI can be used in environments without switches by directly connecting the hosts to the storage system using Ethernet cables. This makes it suitable for a secure data center without switches. Other options such as FCoE, NVMe, and FCP typically require switching infrastructure or are not as commonly used for direct-attached configurations.
data center without switches
D is the correct answer. iSCSI can be used as a direct-attached configuration.
