   A company is expanding its PowerFlex cluster and has purchased new servers to act as storage data servers. The servers have 10GbE NICs, 64GB RAM, and two 480GB SSDs for the OS. The storage devices to be used for capacity are four 1.92TB NVMe drives per server. The network team has allocated two 10GbE ports per server for storage traffic. Which prerequisite check is most critical before adding these nodes to the cluster?

   • AConfirm that the servers have at least 128GB RAM to meet the minimum memory requirement for storage data servers.
   • BVerify that the OS is installed on the 480GB SSDs and that the NVMe drives are unconfigured and visible to the OS.
   • CEnsure that the 10GbE ports are configured with IP addresses from the same subnet as the management network.
   • DCheck that the NVMe drives are formatted with a supported filesystem, such as XFS, before adding the node.
