A cluster administrator is configuring a new Dell PowerEdge XE node to join an existing cluster. The cluster uses a quorum-based voting system. The administrator has already configured the network settings. What must be done next to ensure the node is properly integrated into the cluster?

Configure the node's BIOS settings to enable virtualization technology.

Set the node's cluster membership parameters, such as the quorum weight and node role.

Reboot the node to ensure all network settings take effect.

Update the node's firmware to the latest version available from Dell.

An administrator is configuring a Dell PowerEdge XE node to join a cluster that uses a specific node role for storage services. The node has been physically installed and network settings are complete. What must be done to assign the storage role to the node?

Change the node's BIOS boot order to prioritize the storage controller.

Enable the storage controller in the BIOS and configure RAID.

Install the storage service software and configure the node's role in the cluster management interface.

Set the node's IP address to a static address in the storage VLAN.

A company is deploying a Dell PowerEdge XE cluster for a mission-critical application. The nodes must be configured to boot from a SAN (Storage Area Network) to support failover. The administrator needs to ensure the nodes can boot from the SAN. What hardware setting should be configured?

Set the boot mode to Legacy BIOS instead of UEFI.

Increase the system memory to support the SAN boot process.

Disable the integrated NICs to prevent conflicts with the SAN adapters.

Enable the Fibre Channel (FC) or iSCSI boot option in the BIOS.

A Dell PowerEdge XE cluster is being expanded from two to four nodes. The cluster uses a majority-based quorum. The administrator needs to configure the new nodes to ensure they can participate in quorum decisions. What should be configured on the new nodes?

Set the quorum weight for each new node to match the existing nodes.

Assign a higher quorum weight to the new nodes to give them more voting power.

Disable quorum participation on the new nodes until they are fully tested.

Configure the new nodes as witness nodes only, without voting rights.
