Which command would verify that disks are connected and have dual paths in a fabric-attached MetroCluster?

• A. disk show
• B. sysconfig -p
• C. vol status -r
• D. storage show disk -p

Answer: (D)

To verify that disks are connected and have dual paths in a fabric-attached MetroCluster, you need per-disk path information. The storage show disk -p command provides detailed output for each disk, including the path entries and their statuses across both fabrics. You’re looking for two active paths per disk, with each path showing as up/OK, which confirms dual-path connectivity. If a disk shows only one path or a path that’s down, there’s likely an issue with fabric connectivity or multipath configuration. Other commands don’t fit this need: disk show lists disks with basic attributes but not per-path details; sysconfig -p shows hardware/system configuration; vol status -r displays volume status and replication/resync info rather than how disks are wired across paths.
