HP Exam HPE7-J02 Topic 8 Question 4 Discussion

Detailed Explanatio n:

Rationale for Correct Answe r:

In the exhibit, several paths show ''Standby'' and some appear ''Dead'', while only a subset is Active (0). This typically indicates that one storage controller may be missing or offline, which reduces redundancy and can cause performance degradation. In a healthy Peer Persistence environment, both controllers should present active and non-optimized paths.

Distractors:

A & B: Having multiple active paths does not inherently reduce performance; in fact, MPIO load balances traffic. The issue here is path failures, not excessive active paths.

Key Concept: MPIO pathing in HPE Peer Persistence and controller health.
