What is the primary function of Meta Data Managers (MDMs) in a Dell PowerFlex cluster?

To act as a gateway for external cloud storage integration

To manage the physical storage devices and RAID configurations

To store and manage the cluster's metadata, including configuration and state information

To provide the data path for I/O operations between clients and storage

Before removing an MDM from a PowerFlex cluster, what must be ensured to avoid losing quorum?

The cluster has at least five MDMs

The MDM to be removed is the primary

All SDC clients are disconnected

The remaining MDMs can still form a majority

What does a 'healthy' status for an MDM in the cluster indicate?

The MDM is not participating in quorum

The MDM is synchronized and operational

The MDM has no network connectivity

A PowerFlex cluster currently has three MDMs: one primary, one secondary, and one standby. The cluster is being expanded to support a new mission-critical workload. The administrator wants to increase the fault tolerance of the MDM cluster. What is the recommended approach?

Remove the standby and rely on the primary and secondary.

Add two additional standby MDMs to bring the total to five.

Add one additional standby MDM to bring the total to four.

Promote the standby to secondary and add a new standby.

An administrator needs to perform maintenance on the server hosting the primary MDM. The cluster has three MDMs: primary, secondary, and standby. The administrator wants to minimize disruption and ensure the cluster remains fully operational during maintenance. What should the administrator do?

Promote the standby to primary, then demote the current primary to standby.

Shut down the primary MDM server and let the cluster fail over automatically.

Demote the primary to standby, then promote the secondary to primary.

Remove the primary MDM and add it back after maintenance.
