350-601 Compute Practice Question
Order the steps for troubleshooting a Fibre Channel link that is not coming up.
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
Check physical connections and optics, then verify interface status, then check VSAN and zoning, then perform FLOGI verification, then review logs
Troubleshooting FC link starts with physical, then interface, VSAN/zoning, FLOGI, and logs.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Check physical connections and optics, then verify interface status, then check VSAN and zoning, then perform FLOGI verification, then review logs
Why this is correct
This order follows the logical troubleshooting hierarchy starting from the physical layer upward to higher-layer verification and logging, which aligns with standard FC troubleshooting methodology.
- ✗
Review logs first, then check physical connections, then verify interface status, then check VSAN and zoning, then perform FLOGI verification
Why it's wrong here
Reviewing logs should be the final step after all other checks, as logs may contain errors from earlier layers but are not the starting point for troubleshooting a link not coming up.
- ✗
Check VSAN and zoning first, then verify interface status, then check physical connections, then perform FLOGI verification, then review logs
Why it's wrong here
Starting with VSAN and zoning skips physical and interface checks, which are more fundamental; a link cannot come up if the physical layer is faulty, regardless of zoning configuration.
- ✗
Perform FLOGI verification first, then check physical connections, then verify interface status, then check VSAN and zoning, then review logs
Why it's wrong here
FLOGI verification should occur after ensuring the physical link and interface are operational and VSAN/zoning are correct; doing it first risks misinterpreting results due to underlying issues.
