You need to optimize access to the LUNs in SAN1 from Server2

Your company has a private cloud that is managed by a server named Server1. Server1 has System Center
2012 Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) installed. You add a Hyper-V host named Server2 to the server fabric.
Server2 is connected to a SAN named SAN1 by using Fiber Channel connections.

You need to optimize access to the LUNs in SAN1 from Server2. What should you do first?

A.
Install the Multipath I/O (MPIO) feature on Server2.

B.
Configure Server2 to connect to SAN 1 by using an iSCSI channel.

C.
Install the Multipath I/O (MPIO) feature on Server1.

D.
Configure Server1 to connect to SAN 1 by using an iSCSI channel.

Explanation:

The Multipath I/O (MPIO) feature must be added on each host that will access the Fibre Channel or iSCSI
storage array. You can add the MPIO feature through Server Manager. If the MPIO feature is already enabled
before you add a host to VMM management, VMM will automatically enable MPIO for supported storage arrays
by using the Microsoft provided Device Specific Module (DSM). If you already installed vendor-specific DSMs
for supported storage arrays, and then add the host to VMM management, the vendor-specific MPIO settings
will be used to communicate with those arrays.
