   An administrator is preparing two new nodes to be added as storage data servers to an existing PowerFlex cluster. The nodes have been installed with the supported OS, and the admin has configured the network interfaces. The cluster uses separate storage and management networks. The admin is about to run the PowerFlex installer to add the nodes. Which network configuration step is essential before proceeding?

   • AAssign static IP addresses to the storage NICs and ensure they are on the same subnet as the existing storage network.
   • BDisable the storage NICs until after the installer has added the node to the cluster.
   • CConfigure the storage NICs to obtain IP addresses via DHCP to simplify the deployment.
   • DSet the management NICs to use the same subnet as the storage NICs to reduce the number of VLANs.

   An administrator is adding a new storage data server to an existing PowerFlex cluster using the PowerFlex installer. The new node has been prepared with the OS and network configuration. The installer prompts for the node's IP address and credentials. After providing these, the installer fails during the 'Add SDS' step. Which action should the administrator take first to troubleshoot?

   • ACheck that the new node's storage devices are formatted with a filesystem so the installer can detect them.
   • BEnsure that the new node's hostname resolves to the correct IP address in DNS.
   • CVerify that the new node can communicate with the MDM and other SDS nodes on the storage network.
   • DReinstall the OS on the new node to ensure a clean state before retrying the installer.
