Question

An engineer deploys a Fabric Interconnect in a data-center SAN over a Fiber Channel link in end-host mode. Hosts connect through multiple vHBAs, each hard-pinned to a particular Fibre Channel uplink. What occurs to the vHBAs if the Fibre Channel uplink port fails?

Accepted Answer

C. The vHBAs go down and remain down until the uplink is restored because the system cannot perform repinning.

Answer

The vHBAs go down and remain down until the fabric interconnect mode is changed to switch mode.

Answer

The system performs repinning to an active uplink, and the vHBAs remain operational.

Answer

The vHBAs remain operational because SAN pin groups are ignored in end host mode.
