On aFlashArray//XR2 or //XR3equipped with a4-port Fibre Channel card in Slot 1, the interfaces are namedFC4, FC5, FC6, and FC7.
The port enumeration logic on FlashArray controllers follows a sequential order based on the PCIe slot number:
Slot 0:This is the first PCIe slot. If a 4-port card is installed here (which is typical for the primary host I/O card), it claims the first block of names:FC0, FC1, FC2, and FC3.
Slot 1:This is the second PCIe slot. A 4-port card installed here continues the sequence immediately after Slot 0. Therefore, it claimsFC4, FC5, FC6, and FC7.
Slot 2:Any card here would start at FC8 (if the previous slots are 4-port).
Option A describes the mapping for Slot 0. Option C describes a non-standard mapping that skips integers or assumes a different starting point. Correctly identifying these interface names is crucial for zoning (SAN configuration) and creating the correct host port definitions during the implementation.
