350-601 Storage Network Practice Question
Exhibit
Refer to the exhibit. <config> zone name ZONE1 vsan 10 member pwwn 10:00:00:00:c9:aa:bb:01 member pwwn 10:00:00:00:c9:aa:bb:02 zoneset name ZONESET1 vsan 10 member ZONE1 </config>
Refer to the exhibit. After applying this configuration, the engineer activates the zoneset with 'zoneset activate name ZONESET1 vsan 10'. The host with pwwn 10:00:00:00:c9:aa:bb:01 can communicate with the target with pwwn 10:00:00:00:c9:aa:bb:02. However, the host reports that it cannot see a third target with pwwn 10:00:00:00:c9:aa:bb:03. What is the most likely reason?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to assume the third target is in a different VSAN or that the zoneset activation failed, but the key is that successful communication with one target proves the zoneset is active and the host is in the correct VSAN, so the issue must be that the third target is simply not a member of the zone.
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 third target is not a member of ZONE1.
The host can communicate with the target in ZONE1 (pwwn 10:00:00:00:c9:aa:bb:02) but not with the third target (pwwn 10:00:00:00:c9:aa:bb:03). This indicates that the zoneset activation was successful and the host is in the correct VSAN. The most likely reason is that the third target is not a member of ZONE1; in Fibre Channel zoning, only members of the same zone can communicate, and a device not in the zone will be invisible to other zone members.
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 third target is in a different VSAN.
Why it's wrong here
The exhibit shows all members in VSAN 10; the target is likely in the same VSAN.
- ✓
The third target is not a member of ZONE1.
Why this is correct
Zoning restricts access; only members of the same zone can communicate.
- ✗
The zone name is case-sensitive and does not match.
Why it's wrong here
The zone name in the exhibit is ZONE1; if the configuration matches, case is not an issue.
- ✗
The zoneset was not activated successfully.
Why it's wrong here
The activation command was executed; it would have generated an error if it failed.
