2.

Nodes A, B, and C are connected to one top of rack switch

3.

Nodes D and E are connected to a second top of rack switch

4.

The cluster status command run on Node A shows that CVM services on nodes D and E are down Which issue is causing the storage outage?

A. The default gateway for the CVMs and AHV hosts is down.

B. The switch connecting Nodes D and E is down.

C. The genesis process is down on both Nodes D and E.

D. Nodes D and E are in maintenance mode.
