Selected Answer: C
pureport list --initiator Display all the host initiator WWNs, IQNs, NQNs known for the Flash Array. This also shows the target ports on which the initiators are eligible to communicate. purehost monitor --balance used to check the I/O balance across hosts and ensure that controllers are evenly serving traffic to their respective connections. So I will say answer is C

Selected Answer: C
When performing a controller upgrade on a FlashArray, such as during an //X to //XL Non-Disruptive Upgrade (NDU) or an //XR2/R3 to //XR4 controller replacement, it is crucial to ensure that both controllers are actively serving I/O and that host connectivity remains balanced. The command used to check I/O health and confirm that controllers are serving I/O is purehost monitor --balance. This command provides insights into the I/O distribution across the controllers for each host, showing metrics like "I/O Count" and "I/O Relative to Max". It helps to ensure that all paths for each host have approximately the same I/O, which is vital for maintaining performance and high availability during the upgrade process.
