A storage area network (SAN) was inadvertently powered off while power maintenance was being performed in a datacenter. None of the systems should have lost all power during the maintenance. Upon review, it is discovered that a SAN administrator moved a power plug when testing the SAN's fault notification features.

B) Install additional batteries in the SAN power supplies with enough capacity to keep the system powered on during maintenance operations.
