   What is the purpose of the interconnections between the two nodes in a PowerMax node pair?

   • ATo connect the node pair to the management LAN for out-of-band administration
   • BTo provide a dedicated path for customer data to reach the storage network
   • CTo allow the nodes to share cache and maintain data consistency for high availability
   • DTo supply power from one node to the other in case of a power supply failure

   Which statement accurately describes the node architecture of the PowerMax 2500 and 8500?

   • ANodes are organized into pairs, with each pair operating as an active/active unit for redundancy
   • BNodes are external appliances that connect to the storage system via Ethernet
   • CNodes are passive devices that only store configuration data and do not process I/O
   • DEach system contains a single active node that controls all I/O operations

   A storage architect is designing a PowerMax 8500 solution for a mission-critical application. The customer requires that the system tolerate a node failure without downtime. The architect is evaluating the redundancy of the node pair and the connectivity to the DMEs. Which design consideration is most important to ensure node-level high availability?

   • AEnsuring that each node has multiple physical ports for host connectivity.
   • BEnsuring that the node pair is interconnected and shares cache data.
   • CEnsuring that the access modules have multiple ports.
   • DEnsuring that each DME has redundant power supplies.
