B is the required SAN-side correction. In Cisco storage fabrics, symptoms such as isolated ports, missing targets, failed zone merges, vFC down state, or inaccessible LUNs are rarely solved by changing a random endpoint setting. The engineer must validate the FC control-plane dependency associated with MDS, VSAN: VSAN assignment, trunk allowance, FSPF parameters, fcdomain uniqueness, NPIV support, NPV uplink behavior, DCBX/LLDP negotiation, and active zoning. The selected answer is the one that restores that dependency. Other choices may be valid operational commands in a different failure, but they do not address the precise point where fabric membership or access control is broken. Cisco guidance is to verify the active database and the operational database separately because a configured object is not necessarily active in the fabric. Post-remediation checks should include interface state, VSAN status, FLOGI/PLOGI, zoneset membership, and target visibility from the initiator.
