After completing a memory upgrade on an SDS node, an administrator exits maintenance mode. What should the administrator check to confirm the cluster has returned to normal operation?

Verify the node is in 'Normal' state and that all storage pools show 'Normal' redundancy.

Ensure that all other nodes are placed in maintenance mode as well.

Check that the node's maintenance mode flag is still set to 'Enabled'.

Confirm that the node's IP address has changed to a new subnet.

An administrator needs to replace a faulty network card in an SDS node. The replacement requires a brief power-off. The cluster is currently healthy with normal redundancy. What is the correct procedure?

Place the node in maintenance mode, power off the node, replace the network card, power on, and exit maintenance mode.

Replace the network card while the node is still powered on.

Remove the node from the cluster, replace the network card, and re-add the node.

Power off the node immediately, replace the network card, and power on.

What happens if a component fails while a node is in maintenance mode?

The cluster automatically exits maintenance mode to handle the failure

The cluster detects the failure and may delay recovery actions until maintenance is complete

The cluster immediately fails over to another node

The failure is ignored until maintenance mode is exited

An administrator exits maintenance mode on an SDS node. The node comes back online, but the cluster shows a 'Degraded' state for the storage pool. The administrator suspects a disk failure on the node. What is the most appropriate next step?

Ignore the 'Degraded' state and continue normal operations.

Remove the node from the cluster and re-add it.

Check the node's disk status and replace any failed disks, then allow the rebuild to complete.

Re-enter maintenance mode and exit again to reset the node's state.
