   A Dell EDP deployment is planned for a customer who has a vSphere cluster with two datastores: DS1 (VMFS5) and DS2 (VMFS6). The EDP virtual machines must be placed on a datastore that meets the Dell requirements. The customer prefers to use DS1 because it has more free space. The administrator also notes that the vCenter Server is running an older version that is not supported by EDP. What should the administrator do?

   • AUse DS1 for the EDP VMs and keep the current vCenter version because it is functional.
   • BConvert DS1 to VMFS6 in place and keep the current vCenter version.
   • CUpgrade vCenter to a supported version and place the EDP VMs on DS2.
   • DPlace the EDP VMs on DS1 and upgrade vCenter after deployment.

   An administrator is verifying the network configuration for an EDP deployment. The EDP nodes are on the 192.168.10.0/24 subnet, and the management station is on the 192.168.20.0/24 subnet. The administrator can ping the management station from the EDP nodes, but the management station cannot ping the EDP nodes. The administrator confirms that the default gateway on the EDP nodes is correctly set. What is the most likely cause?

   • AThe default gateway on the management station is incorrect.
   • BThe EDP nodes have a firewall that blocks incoming ICMP traffic.
   • CThe EDP nodes are on a different VLAN that is not routed.
   • DThe management station has the wrong subnet mask.

   A network engineer is preparing to deploy Dell EDP at a retail branch. The engineer has verified that the hardware is on the supported list, the software licenses are activated, and the storage array is reachable. However, the engineer notices that the management VLAN configured on the switch does not match the VLAN ID specified in the EDP deployment worksheet. According to Dell's EDP pre-deployment checklist, what must the engineer do before proceeding?

   • AProceed with the deployment because the switch VLAN is only used for out-of-band management and does not affect EDP.
   • BReconfigure the switch to use the VLAN ID specified in the EDP deployment worksheet, then re-verify connectivity.
   • CDisable the management VLAN on the switch and rely on the default VLAN for EDP communication.
   • DUpdate the EDP deployment worksheet to reflect the actual VLAN ID on the switch, then proceed.

   A Dell technician is performing pre-deployment checks for EDP at a data center. The technician confirms that the servers have the required CPU and RAM, the hypervisor is at the supported version, and the storage LUNs are presented. However, the technician discovers that the firmware on the RAID controller is older than the minimum version listed in the Dell EDP support matrix. What is the appropriate action?

   • AReplace the RAID controller with a different model that has newer firmware already installed.
   • BProceed with deployment because the RAID controller is functional and the OS will load regardless of firmware version.
   • CNote the firmware version in the deployment log and continue, since the check is only a recommendation.
   • DUpdate the RAID controller firmware to the minimum supported version, then re-run the hardware readiness check.

   A Dell engineer is leading an EDP deployment at a customer site. The customer has provided a network diagram that shows the EDP management network on VLAN 100, but the actual switch configuration shows VLAN 100 is not present; instead, VLAN 200 is configured for management. The engineer also finds that the storage network is correctly configured. The customer insists that the network diagram is correct and asks the engineer to proceed with deployment. What should the engineer do?

   • AConfigure VLAN 100 on the switch to match the network diagram, then proceed.
   • BUpdate the network diagram to show VLAN 200 and proceed with deployment.
   • CProceed with deployment using VLAN 200 because the storage network is correct and the management network is less critical.
   • DDeploy EDP without a management network and rely on the storage network for all communication.
