A.
limits the storage protocols

B.
increases storage latency for VM

C.
limits the path selection policies

D.
limits the number of LUNs per host

Explanation:
While using more than the required number of paths restricts the number of LUNs you can present to a host, it
may also affect host resources such as CPU cycles and also every path from a host requires an initiator record
and there may be a limit to the number of initiators per storage system.
Large numbers of paths i.e in excess of 4 per host may be required in environments where bursts of I/O from
other hosts sharing the storage system ports are unpredictable and severe, for example boot storm scenarios
where 8 paths per host might be plausible.
