What is the purpose of using the PowerFlex CLI when adding a storage data server?

To bypass the need for a supported operating system

To directly configure storage devices without adding the node

To replace the need for a management network

To automate the addition of the SDS node and configure it consistently

After adding a new storage data server to a PowerFlex cluster and configuring its devices, an administrator wants to confirm that the SDS is operational and contributing capacity. Which verification step provides the most direct confirmation?

Run a performance test on a volume that uses the new SDS's storage pool.

Ping the SDS's management IP address from the MDM.

Verify that the SDS's storage devices are visible in the operating system.

Check the PowerFlex GUI or CLI to see if the SDS is listed as 'Connected' and its devices show as 'In Use'.

When preparing a new node to become a storage data server, which operating system configuration is required?

Install a container runtime and configure Docker

Install a hypervisor and configure virtual machines

Install Windows Server and configure Active Directory

Install a supported Linux distribution and configure the hostname and IP addresses

An administrator is preparing a new node to be added as a storage data server. The node has the supported OS installed. The administrator needs to configure the network interfaces. The cluster uses separate storage and management networks. Which configuration is correct for the storage NICs?

Assign a static IP address and ensure the NIC is on the same VLAN as the storage network.

Use DHCP to obtain an IP address automatically for simplicity.

Configure the storage NICs with IP addresses from the management network to reduce complexity.

Leave the storage NICs unconfigured until after the node is added to the cluster.

What must be done to storage devices on a new SDS node before they can be used by a storage pool?

Format them with a filesystem such as ext4

Assign them to the SDS and add them to a storage pool

Partition them into multiple logical volumes
