Your company runs a NetApp AFF A220 cluster as a file server for NFS and SMB. You want to use one of the unused ports to connect a single Windows host directly, using FC. You have converted the UTA2 ports e0e and e0f to FC and equipped them with a 16-Gbps FC transceiver. Your Windows host fails to connect to the storage.
In this scenario, which action solves the problem?

  • A. Use the arbitrated loop topology on storage and host

You can configure FC and FC-NVMe SAN hosts with single nodes through one or more fabrics. N-Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) is required and must be enabled on all FC switches in the fabric. You cannot directly attach FC or FC-NMVE SAN hosts to single nodes without using an FC switch.

Answer 100% is D, though technically you can direct connect but you need to swap the fibers over, as one is in and one is out, without a switch, both sides send data down the same fiber.

I was wrong. The answer is D. "You cannot directly attach FC or FC-NVMe SAN hosts to HA pairs without using a switch." https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap/san-config/configure-fc-nvme-hosts-ha-pairs-reference.html#single-fabric-ha-pairs

Correct answer is D. Proof*: https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap/san-config/configure-iscsi-san-hosts-single-nodes-reference.html#direct-attached-single-node-configurations -> You can configure iSCSI SAN hosts in a direct-attached, single-switch, or multi-switch environment. Proof: https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap/san-config/configure-fc-nvme-san-hosts-single-nodes-reference.html#single-fabric-single-node-configurations -> You cannot directly attach FC or FC-NMVE SAN hosts to single nodes without using an FC switch.
