A PowerMax system is configured with a local RAID 5 (3+1) group. One drive fails. While the system is in a degraded state, a second drive in the same group fails. What is the impact on data availability?

Data remains available because the system can rebuild from parity.

Data remains available because the system automatically converts to RAID 6.

Data is lost because RAID 5 can only tolerate one drive failure.

Data becomes read-only until the failed drives are replaced.

A PowerMax 8500 system is being configured for a high-availability environment. The storage administrator needs to ensure that front-end connectivity is redundant. Which configuration should the administrator implement?

Multiple front-end I/O modules across different storage processors

A single front-end I/O module with multiple ports

A single storage processor with multiple front-end ports

A storage administrator is troubleshooting connectivity issues on a PowerMax 2000 system. The front-end ports are not receiving traffic from the SAN switches. Which component is responsible for establishing the physical connection between the front-end ports and the SAN switches?
