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 target LUN is not available.
SCSI sense key D:0x2 indicates 'Not Ready', meaning the LUN is not available. Host bus adapter failure or path misconfiguration would produce different sense codes; no path would show a different state.
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 path is misconfigured.
Why it's wrong here
Path misconfiguration would not produce a Not Ready sense; it would be a path state issue.
- ✗
The storage device is not connected.
Why it's wrong here
Device not connected would show a different error, often with path state 'dead'.
- ✓
The target LUN is not available.
Why this is correct
SCSI sense D:0x2 (Not Ready) indicates LUN not accessible.
- ✗
The host's HBA is faulty.
Why it's wrong here
HBA fault would produce a 'Host' sense key, not 'D:0x2'.
