Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The boot policy includes the SAN target as the first boot device.
For boot from SAN, the WWPNs must be correctly assigned and the boot policy must list the SAN path as the first boot device. Also, zoning on the SAN switch is required but that is external.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The boot policy includes the SAN target as the first boot device.
Why this is correct
If local disk is first, it may attempt to boot from there.
- ✗
The vNIC placement policy is set to fabric failover.
Why it's wrong here
vNIC placement is for network, not SAN boot.
- ✓
The WWPNs assigned to the vHBAs are zoned correctly on the SAN switches.
Why this is correct
Zoning must allow the initiator to see the target LUN.
- ✗
The QoS policy is applied to the vHBA.
Why it's wrong here
QoS is not a requirement for boot from SAN.
- ✗
The server has a local disk installed.
Why it's wrong here
Local disk is not required for SAN boot.
