A vSphere operator discovers a storage problem with the following PDL error message: Permanently inaccessible device :naa.1234567890 has no more open connections. What should the operator conclude from this error message?
A.
A storage device is disconnected, but it can be reconnected by a host reboot.
B.
A storage device has failed and is expected to become available.
C.
A storage device has failed and is not expected to become available.
D.
A storage device is disconnected, but it is treated as a transient issue.
The operator should conclude that C. A storage device has failed and is not expected to become available.
The Permanent Device Loss (PDL) error message "Permanently inaccessible device :naa.1234567890 has no more open connections" indicates that a storage device is no longer available to the host, and it is not expected to become available again. This error message is generated when the storage array determines that a disk or LUN is unavailable due to a hardware failure. The vSphere host will no longer be able to access the data on the failed device.
A. A storage device is disconnected, but it can be reconnected by a host reboot is not true as the error message specifically states that the device is "permanently inaccessible".
B. A storage device has failed and is expected to become available and D. A storage device is disconnected, but it is treated as a transient issue are also not true, as the error message specifically states that the device is "permanently inaccessible".
