Question #: 33
Topic #: 4
Refer to the exhibit.
An engineer configures the server port on a Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switch. The switch connects to an NPV edge switch port. The server fails to send the FC traffic to the fabric. Which action resolves the issue?
A.
Enable the NPIV mode on the Cisco Nexus 5000 switch.
B.
Match the VSAN membership on both ends of the connection.
C.
Configure the BB_credit buffer on the uplink port.
Enable the NPIV mode on the Cisco Nexus 5000 switch is the correct fix under Cisco SAN troubleshooting practice. The issue described involves VSAN, NPIV, NPV, Cisco Nexus, where the operating state depends on the correct combination of port type, VSAN, fabric service, and access-control database. MDS and Nexus SAN features do not infer missing policy: if the active zoneset, fabric-binding database, fcdomain, NPIV setting, or FCoE/LLDP negotiation is wrong, the link may come up physically but the initiator will not reach the target. The selected answer corrects the missing or mismatched element. The remaining choices either act at the wrong layer, change a non-causal parameter, or provide only a temporary reset. After applying the fix, a proper Cisco validation path is to review show interface, show flogi database, show fcns database, show zoneset active, and any isolation or merge-failure logs. That confirms the storage network is operationally consistent.
