   A technician is installing a PowerMax 2500 and needs to ensure that the DMEs are properly connected to the node pair. Which of the following best describes the role of the access module in this setup?

   • AIt provides external host connectivity.
   • BIt provides the physical housing for the drives.
   • CIt provides the compute processing for the array.
   • DIt provides the data path between the nodes and the DMEs.

   In a PowerMax node pair, how is redundancy achieved?

   • ABy using a third node as a tie-breaker to decide which node is primary
   • BBy relying on external storage replication to protect against node failure
   • CBy having one node active and the other node as a hot standby that takes over on failure
   • DBy having both nodes actively process I/O and mirror each other's cache

   A storage architect is designing a PowerMax 2500 configuration for a customer that requires high availability. The architect wants to ensure that the failure of a single node does not cause an outage. Which component or configuration is essential to achieve this?

   • AA node pair with inter-node connectivity
   • BA DME with redundant power supplies
   • CA single node with multiple physical ports
   • DAn access module with multiple ports

   A company is deploying a PowerMax 2500 and requires that the system remain available during a node failure. The administrator is explaining the redundancy model to management. Which statement accurately describes how node pairs provide redundancy?

   • AThe node pair is connected to the same DMEs, so if one node fails, the DMEs continue to serve I/O.
   • BEach node operates independently and does not share state with the other.
   • CThe two nodes share cache and configuration data, allowing the surviving node to take over.
   • DThe node pair uses a single logical port to share I/O, so if one node fails, the port continues.

   What is the function of access modules in PowerMax 2500 and 8500 systems?

   • ATo supply redundant power to the entire storage system
   • BTo provide a user interface for configuring the storage system
   • CTo provide external Fibre Channel ports for host connectivity
   • DTo connect the DMEs to the nodes, enabling communication between drives and the system
