What is a requirement for a native iSCSI implementation?

A.
Host with an iSCSI HBA and an array with an iSCSI port

B.
Host with a NIC and an array with an FCoE port

C.
Host with iSCSI initiator software and an array with an FCIP port

D.
Host with an iSCSI HBA and an array with an FC port

Explanation:

iSCSI Topologies: Native iSCSI

Two topologies of iSCSI implementations are native and bridged. Native topology does not have
FC components. The initiators may be either directly attached to targets or connected through the
IP network.
FC components are not required for iSCSI connectivity if an iSCSI-enabled array is deployed.
In figure in the slide, the array has one or more iSCSI ports configured with an IP address and
connected to a standard Ethernet switch. After an initiator is logged on to the network, it can
access the available LUNs on the storage array. A single array port can service multiple hosts or
initiators as long as the array port can handle the amount of storage traffic that the hosts generate.
