You are configuring an ONTAP solution for FC host connectivity.
In this scenario, how should the cluster be configured? (Choose two.)
A.
The SVM must be configured for Ethernet LIFs.
B.
FC ports must be configured as initiators.
C.
FCP must be licensed on the cluster.
D.
FC ports must be configured as targets.
Explanation:
You can configure the FC and the FCoE protocols on the SVM for SAN hosts. LIFs are created on the most
suitable adapters and assigned to port sets to ensure data path redundancy. Based on your requirements, you
can configure either FC, FCoE, or both the protocols.
Before you begin
The FCP license must be enabled on the cluster.
All the nodes in the cluster must be healthy.
Each node must have at least two correctly configured ports for each protocol (FC and FCoE).
Incorrect Answers:
B, D: Onboard ports can be individually configured as either target or initiator FC portshttps://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1354558/html/GUID-A8D48BB6-ADBF-446D-A0B8-

The Explaination describes it
it must be BC

Answer CD, if clients need to connect to the NetApp using FC from the NetApp side the port needs to be in target mode, the FC client is the ‘initiator’.

Most systems have onboard FC adapters that you can configure as initiators or targets. You can also use certain FC adapter cards to configure as initiators or targets. Initiators connect to back-end disk shelves, and targets connect to FC switches or other storage controllers.

Hello renek,
you are wright
IT is CD

Correct is C,D

client host – initiator
netapp fc port- target

I think it’s A and C .
Because C is for sure a correct answer. Of the other options the B and D are basically the same answer because the interface can be configured as initiator or target.
So that leaves only A . you have to remember that FC is both a hardware and software protocol. FCoE uses FC software and Ethernet hardware.

gosh, is c and d. for FC ethernet ports are not used. you can use UTA2 or CNA but for FC they need to be configured for FC. Ethernet will support iSCSi.
Now, the storage ports are the target ports always, except when you are going to back up to tape, in that case the storage ports are the initiators and the tape library is the target.

A cant be. For SAN lifs you configured them for FC or iSCSi, but you cant use them for both

Definitely C & D. No question.
In SAN, an initiator is the HBA of the host that is going to connect to the storage target.
