The point-to-point topology is the simplest and most common way to connect a single host to a storage system using FC. It allows direct communication between two devices without any intermediate devices. The UTA2 ports on the AFF A220 cluster support the point-to-point topology when configured as FC ports. Therefore, to connect a single Windows host directly to the storage using FC, you need to use the point-to-point topology on all ports and make sure that the host and the storage have compatible FC settings, such as speed, WWPN, and zoning. The other options are not correct because they involve additional devices or topologies that are not necessary or supported for this scenario. References :- Quick guide - AFF A220, Detailed guide - AFF A220, ONTAP 9 SAN Configuration Guide

 NetApp ONTAP Select is a software-only version of ONTAP that can run on commodity servers with direct-attached storage. It supports both block and file protocols, including NFS, NVMe, and CIFS. SCSI and FCP are not supported by ONTAP Select. References :- ONTAP Select overview, Client protocols, Software-Defined Storage with ONTAP Select

 The problem is that the NFS export policy only allows access to the IP range of 192.168.10.11-12, which does not include HOST 3’s IP address of 192.168.10.13. Therefore, the ESXi host cannot mount the NFS datastore. To solve the problem, you need to add HOST 3’s IP address to the NFS export policy, or modify the IP range to include it. This will grant the ESXi host the permission to access the NFS datastore. References :- ONTAP 9 Network Management Guide, ONTAP 9 NFS Reference, Troubleshooting NFS datastore connectivity issues (1003967)
